12x23 - Change of Plans

[bunniefuu]

[theme music playing]

[woman] Ow!

-[Arissa] This is the true story…
-[all] True story…

[Frank] Of seven strangers…

[Trishelle] Picked to live in a casino…

[Alton] Work together
and have their lives taped…

[Brynn] To find out what happens…

-[Steven] When people stop being polite…
-[Irulan] And start getting real.

[all] The Real World: Las Vegas.

-[Arissa] Baby, yeah!
-[all laughing]

[upbeat music playing]

[train's whistle blowing]

[Trishelle] What do you wanna do tonight?

Do you want to go eat sushi
at this place in The Venetian?

[Brian] Sure. Is it okay if I take you out
to dinner tomorrow night?

Yeah, yeah, that's cool.

I met Brian the first month
that I moved to Vegas,

and he's the only person
that I've invited out

-to come and visit me.
-[Brian] Well, I don't know

if you want to do anything
with me tonight,

but I was hoping that one night
I could get you with me alone.

Of course. That's what we were
just talking about, actually.

-[Brian] Who's we?
-Me and Steven.

-[Brian] Okay.
-Okay, I'll see you in a little bit.

-[Brian] You got it.
-Okay, bye.

-[Trishelle] Hah, that's funny.
-[Steven] What?

[Trishelle] He was like,
"Yeah, I was hoping that one night

I could take you to dinner
but just me and you and be alone."

You should do that.

And I was, like… He was like,
"Tomorrow night, though."

No, I think that would be nice
if y'all had a normal date.

Do you not want us to go tonight?

-No, I'm just saying I like Brian.
-[Trishelle] Well, I like him too.

-Believe me. We'll hook up.
-[Steven] Well, I like him more.

-You're like, "Believe me, we'll hook up."
-Obviously. [laughs]

I'm just trying to help you guys out.

I feel bad about
how Trishelle's relationship and mine

has happened,
and I just want her to be happy,

and if I could help her find somebody
that makes her happy,

then that makes me happy,

and that makes me feel
like I'm redeeming myself.

[Trishelle] I feel like I should
be going on dates.

This is the longest I've ever been single,

and I feel, like, you know,
maybe I should,

kind of get out there
and date a lot of guys

so that when I finally find that one,
I'll appreciate that person more.

-[Trishelle] How you doing?
-[Brian] Hi, how you doing?

[indistinct chatter]

[Trishelle] Oh, my God!

You are so sweet. Thank you.

[lively accordion music playing]

[harmonizing]

-[music concludes]
-[crowd applauding]

[Gary] Tell me what is it

about L.A. that makes people…
They're really confident.

[Brian] I'm not really from L.A.
I'm from Huntington Beach.

But I went to four high schools
in four years, private school,

public school, moved, and then
I got recruited to play volleyball

somewhere else, so I got to deal
with different people.

Wow, they have guy volleyball
teams in Los Angeles.

-[Steven] Yeah.
-The volleyball is crazy, bro.

It's really big. I've gone
to Junior Olympics three years in a row,

when I was a kid,
and they do nationals for… Anyways--

-[Trishelle] He's a little like you.
-[Brian] A little what?

You're like… You and Steven
have a lot in common--

[Steven] I went to four high schools
in four years,

I went to the Junior Olympics for javelin.

I'm scared. [chuckles]

[funky music playing]

[Trishelle] Steven's always been there
for the past four months,

and it's kind of, like,
I compare boys to him.

What else do we have in common?

Oh, y'all are just… I don't know.

Some of the things he says,
like, when people talk to him,

like, it kind of is like you.
It's funny. It's, like, yeah.

Brian doesn't know how to feel
about me and Steven

because he sees us laughing
and joking around,

and I tell him that we're "just friends,"
but I think that he knows better.

That's really weird.
That's why I like this guy a lot,

before I realized
that we're the same damn person.

[music continues, concludes]

[birds chirping]

[upbeat music playing]

[machine beeping]

[funky music playing]

I hate, like, worrying about money,
not being able to do something

or buy something
because I don't have the money for it.

Yeah, I hate the fact
that I should get another job,

but I don't know what to do here.

[Arissa] It sucks to have to get a job
to work for extra money,

but I have no money,
so I need to get one quick.

-[Irulan] Do you want to work at Skin?
-[Arissa] Yes.

-[Irulan] Have you ever c*ck before?
-Mm-hmm.

Do I know how to carry a big tray
of drinks? No.

[upbeat music playing]

-[Trishelle] Have y'all c*ck before?
-[Brynn] I've waitressed, but not--

I've waitressed,
but I've never c*ck.

I'm just a little nervous
I'll [bleep] everything up.

But you know what, babe?
It's really not that bad.

They don't really care
if you get them drinks.

It's more about, like,
you're in a bikini, and, you know?

[Brynn] I've seen those girls
in the hot sun running around,

-these drunk guys being like, "Hey."
-[Trishelle] And they have to smile

-and be like, "Okay."
-Yeah.

[Trishelle] I can do that. I can be like,

"Yeah, uh-huh, okay,"
and, you know, just suck it up.

[sighs] I don't know.

[music continues]

-[music fading]
-[water whooshes]

-[screaming]
-[heavy rock music playing]

What is Skin?

-What is it, or where is it?
-[Steven] When is it gonna open up?

-May 17th.
-[Steven] May 17th?

Gina is the manager of Skin,
and she offered us all jobs to work there.

That's gonna be awesome.

-[Gina] Yeah, it's gonna be good.
-I'm excited.

Okay, holiday uniforms in here,
nighttime uniforms,

and then the daytime, which you know
what girls wear during the day.

-So, holiday, nighttime skirt…
-[laughs, cheers]

…and then your little hat that you wear
with your nighttime uniform.

[Arissa laughing]

-Thank you so much.
-You're welcome.

I'm, like, glowing,
because I get these bathing suits

with little skirts,
and I'm gonna make more money.

[Arissa] We're gonna get tan,

and we're gonna be not able to go out
very late,

-because we're gonna have to work.
-[Irulan] Exactly.

-And it's gonna be so positive.
-[Irulan] Yes.

Wait until tomorrow, when we're like,
"We hate this [bleep]."

[music concludes]

-[upbeat music playing]
-[weights clanging]

-[exhales]
-[grunts]

[Steven] Brian's a really funny,
charismatic guy.

I think that he's way cooler
than any guy that Trishelle has dated

since we've been here,
including myself.

It's really sad
because she's drop-dead gorgeous,

and she's a sweet girl,
and she does a lot of nice things…

-She's amazing.
-But it's just not there. I mean…

It's, like, and you can try
as hard as you want--

[Steven] Yeah, it's just not… yeah--

It's like trying to have a conversation,
a one-way conversation.

-[Steven] Mm-hmm.
-I know what you're saying, man.

See, that's the thing, yeah.
I can't get a vibe on it.

[Steven] Yeah, I can't…
I'm watching for it, man.

I don't understand why.
You're a good-looking guy and you're cool.

You already have a degree
and this and that.

Like, she should be,
like, foaming at the mouth.

Trishelle's stupid
for wasting time with me.

She needs to be with somebody
who cares about her as a person,

not just as…

[solemn music playing]

…a piece of meat.

If she dates anybody, she should
date [bleep] you, man.

I don't know. We'll see.

-[Steven] It's cool.
-It's in her court.

[ music continues]

-How long is Brian gonna be here for?
-Till Tuesday.

Is he here just for the fun of it or…

He's here to visit me
before he goes to China for two weeks.

-[Frank] He's going to China?
-Get this.

He's going to work
in an orphanage to do, like,

-to help an orphanage out for two weeks.
-Man, that piece of [bleep].

[laughs]

I think Trishelle has given up
on any feelings for Steven.

I think she sees something in Brian
that she looks for in men.

-He's a good guy.
-Oh, my God, he's such a good guy.

-What's wrong with me?
-You should marry him.

-I know.
-Actually, you know what?

-You don't deserve him.
-[Trishelle laughs]

-He should marry someone really good.
-Hey, I'm good.

-I'm joking. It's a joke.
-[Trishelle chuckles]

[Frank] Sort of.

[light music playing]

[solemn music playing]

[Trishelle] I haven't really met any guys
who are dating material in Vegas,

but I think
that Brian's a really sweet guy.

[Trishelle] Brian is a great,
great person,

and me and him are getting
really close really fast.

I like this.

-I'm doing good.

[Trishelle] I got a job at the pool,
c*ck, because I think,

you know, I'm gonna make a lot of money,
but my daddy is not gonna be proud.

-[Gina] When can you start training?
-Oh, tomorrow.

I'm on the schedule for tomorrow.

Back home, I'm like waiting tables,
I'm going to school,

and I'm always just up going, going, gone.

And, like, I'm going over here,
but I'm going out.

I'm not, like, working as much
as I would like to be, I guess.

I just can't wait 'til I'm back to normal
and I'm working my butt off again.

[Gina] Awesome, so 8:30 I'll meet
you down at the pool.

-All right, cool. Bye. bye.

Thanks, sweetie, bye-bye.

I am like, "Are you kidding me?"

[indistinct chatter]

Skin is not what we anticipated.

But how are we gonna get this box?

[music continues]

[Irulan] Me and Arissa
are pretty miserable.

Ow!

Okay.

I'm tired, and my feet hurt,
and I just want to get out of here.

Is that more stuff?

-[Arissa] What?
-That they're unloading out of that van?

Great job. Thank you so much.

-Thanks.

[Gina] Bye, girls.

[both] Bye.

[Arissa] We're like, "Bye." [laughs]

[instrumental music playing]

[Trishelle] Brian and I
weren't hanging out for very long

and he's already like,
"I can date you exclusively,"

and I wish that
he would just kind of, like,

if he thinks it, just keep it to himself
and just see what happens.

[Irulan] Brian is a great guy,

and maybe Trishelle will end up
dating him in the long run,

but my personal take
on the thing is just I, sort of,

feel like Trishelle and Steven

have some unfinished business
to attend to.

[Trishelle] I feel like Brian
is jumping the g*n

'cause he has to reel me in first
before he catches me.

[Trishelle] Like, he's like,
he's too good.

Like, he's too nice, too sweet,
and I'm scared of it,

because I've never dated someone
that nice.

[Arissa] Don't be scared, Trishelle.
He's a great guy.

Like, what time is it right now,
like, 5:00?

-5:00, 5:15 or something like that.
-[whispers] Six, seven, eight.

Four hours.

Three hours, three-and-a-half hours
of sleep.

Honey, I'll get you up
and push you out of bed.

-Okay.
-Like, I will drag you out by your hair.

And I hate that, but I'll so need someone
to do that to me tomorrow,

because I'm starting work.

[upbeat music playing]

I'm a little lonely,
and I'd like to have Trishelle in my bed,

and she's in there with another guy.

[upbeat music playing]

[Steven] I can't sleep, man.

Steven, I'm sorry you can't sleep.

-We can't sleep, either.
-[Steven] I'm going insane.

Brian and Trishelle are in the next room,
and I don't know what's happening,

but I want to vomit.

[whimsical music playing]

Brian's over, and, you know,
Steven "can't sleep"

because of whatever.

-He is bouncing off the walls.
-[Steven] I'm gonna check email.

[computer squeaking]

[Steven] I never thought that I had
any feelings for Trishelle

past like friendship, but I'm only human.

[music continues]

[Steven] I don't know what the hell
is going on in my head.

I don't know if that means
I love Trishelle.

I don't know what it means.

[music fading]

[solemn music playing]

Wake up. You've got to go to work

or get fired your first day,
and that's just horrible.

It's like getting fired on your day off.

[Steven] My feelings about Trishelle?

I'm just confused about that.

I mean, Brian's a great guy,

and I think that Trishelle could never
do better than that guy,

but I want them to leave.

[Trishelle] I don't know
what Brian's thinking right now.

I'm totally comfortable around him,
but it's more, like,

a buddy kind of way.

Easy. Those poles come out from nowhere.

-[laughs]
-They jump out at you.

I'm drunk, and I have to be at work
right now. I don't know what to do.

[Trishelle] I think Brian's really nice.

I don't think he's someone
I'd like to date.

He's just super sweet
and fun to hang out with.

That's it.

-[groans] Thank you for coming.
-[Brian] You're welcome.

[music continues]

I don't know. It's, like,
he just tried way too hard.

Have fun. See ya.

[music fading]

[uplifting mellow music playing]

Can we get pineapples, please?

Why don't you go take
what you need out of there,

-and I'll fill it up properly?
-All right.

[Trishelle] Hey.

[woman] Could you get some
seltzer water for me?

-Excuse me?
-[woman] Seltzer water.

Seltzer water, okay.
I'll be right back with your change.

c*ck is going okay.
It's pretty fun.

I mean, it's not brain surgery.
It's just c*ck.

[man] I just need a bottle
of water, please.

-Sure, definitely.
-[man] Thank you.

I don't like c*ck waitressing.

Can I just get a bottle
of water, please?

You have to be
at every person's beck and call

the second that they need you.

I like to talk to people,
and I like to flirt,

so I guess c*ck
is the right job for me.

[Irulan] I'm not hating on Trishelle

for making 200 dollars when Arissa
and I are making 20 dollars.

I think that there's something
about Trishelle that might appeal

to this type of clientele more
than Arissa or myself.

[music fading]

[Trishelle] How much did you make in tips?

-55 dollars.
-[Trishelle] Really?

-What did you make?
-So far, I have 80.

[Irulan] Well, you're doing better
than us, so…

Yeah, but you should have seen
the lengths

-that I was going to get tips.
-[Irulan] What do you mean?

I was flirting with the fattest,
ugliest old…

[Irulan laughing]

…like, they were freakin' Matt Damon
or something.

-I don't…
-Whatever works.

-[Frank] That's funny…
-Yeah, hey--

…'cause I'm always like,
"I think the stripper really liked me."

Shut up. Quit comparing
a c*ck waitress to a stripper.

My daddy is probably not--
already not proud

-that I'm a c*ck waitress.
-[chuckles]

He doesn't know--

-I'll just keep my mouth shut.
-Honestly, he doesn't know yet.

[funky music playing]

[Trishelle] Steven tells me
that whenever Brian and I were in my room,

he wanted to vomit
thinking about us being together.

[laughs]

It makes me happy when Steven
tells me his feelings for me

because it's like he's finally
being honest with himself

and with me.

He never comes out and admits things,
and, like, he totally came out

and told me some stuff,
and I was just like, "Wow."

He said, "I don't know."

"I just didn't want
just to be in that house

whenever you and Brian
were in your bedroom."

And he was like…
He said, "I couldn't sleep,

and I tossed and turned
in my bed all night."

Oh, my God, 'cause he came
in my room last night,

and he was like, "I can't sleep,"
and I was like, "Okay."

You know what else he said?
He stood right there, and he was like,

"I think I have feelings for you."

I always knew
that Steven had feelings for me,

but he never would say it,

and it feels good
to finally hear him admit it.

But, you know, they always want
what they can't have.

-That is the damn truth.
-And 'cause I met a nice guy,

I feel like that's the only reason
he's, like, you know…

[Arissa] Remember what Brian said?

"That they always come back
two minutes too late."

Steven has feelings
for Trishelle, and that's all good.

Then they need to work it out
and get together.

If he's doing it
because she was with Brian,

then don't play the game.

You know you just never want
to get into that pattern

where they're like, "I like you now
because there's somebody else around,

but…" No, you know, or get jealous
and realize that…

He should've realized it
when you were right in front of his face.

You guys live together.
You know what I'm saying?

But I think that's the whole deal
when he was just like--

He was like, "I just didn't
think that, you know,

that it could work
because we live together."

And so, he was just like…

I'm not gonna push
the envelope with Steven.

If Steven brings it up again,
then I know he really means it.

I mean, I've never seen Steven
or heard him come out like that.

But if he doesn't bring it up again,
then it's probably just something that he…

A jealousy thing.

-[groans]
-Just don't play the game.

["In My Place" playing]

-Do you want a sip of this tea?
-No, thanks.

[Trishelle] I think we're both
very confused

about how we feel
about each other right now. [chuckles]

There is no telling what could happen
between Steven and I.
