03x13 - Homecoming

[bunniefuu]

Previously on the real world...

I think puck should leave.

I don't want him out.

[ Pam ] she worked really hard

To come to an understanding with puck.

[ Pedro ] I'm really falling in love with sean.

If pedro commits to marrying sean

He'll be in san francisco.

I know he wants to spend time with his family.

I'm the one who's gonna make the decision

Whether I go back home or not.

This is the true story...

True story...

Of seven strangers...

Picked to live in a house...

And have their lives taped...

Oh, lucy, I'm home !

To find out what happens...

When people stop being polite...

And start getting real.

Mtv's the real world: san francisco

[ Sean on phone ] tell me what you wanna talk about.

It's about a number of things about us,

About things that are going on,

Things that has happened in past week that--

Give me an idea.

Basically, me and sean have been, y'know, just arguing a lot.

Okay, sean.

You don't feel this is the appropriate time to talk about it.

Who says I didn't wanna talk about it ?

You said you didn't.

I am simply-- was trying to explain

What I was feeling right now.

I have to go.

Yeah.

I hate when I fight with sean.

I said to him, um... "I'm leaving."

He said, "where are you going ?" I said, "I'm going home."

I am going to go to miami

And spend four days with my family.

I know he's not happy about that, right ?

And it's also this fear that we both have,

That I'm gonna go back to my family

And that I'm going to decide I can't be away from them.

So, it's sort of like, we need to talk about this

Because I wanna get it out.

Right.

And then everything can be fine before I go.

Yeah, 'cause you don't wanna leave and come back to that.

Hey man, all that stuff will work out, though.

It's still hard

'Cause I hate fighting, but...

Oh, well.

I'm going to shave my goatee.

What has brought this about ?

Because there's a possibility

That I'm trying to get back at sean.

Because I'm angry at him right now.

Actually, that's what sean likes,

Just this little thing down here.

[ Judd ] you look good, you look very good.

[ Cory ] I can't believe you're going home tomorrow.

Yeah.

It'll be good to get a...

Like, a far-away perspective on things.

I can't wait to see 'em all.

I forget how much I miss people until I see 'em again.

Now it's kind of like... A pain.

Because I'm gonna be in miami

Thinking about him and you guys.

So it's sort of like...

I'm not happy here, I'm not happy there.

[ Phone ringing ]

I got it.

It's probably for you anyway.

You pick me up at :, then ?

[ Sean ] right.

Sleep tight.

Good night.

I love you.

[ Click ]

Hi !

I saw my sister, millie.

The first thing that she did was to open my jacket and say...

Parragido!

Which means that I'm skinny.

My goodness, wow.

I missed you.

The first night when I came into the house,

And everybody was screaming.

I love what you got me on my birthday !

It was a lot of noise.

And I thought, this is great

Because that's what I miss the most.

I miss the sound of the babies crying.

I miss my sister getting on my case about eating properly.

[ Pedro speaking spanish ]

... Judd etemohammed, etepuck.

[ Continues in spanish ]

... Peanut butter.

Did you just stick your finger in there ?

No.

He didn't adapt to our environment.

[ Laughing ]

This is the "raddest" picture ever, remember ?

Yeah.

Where are these from ? These from here ?

Yeah, cory.

[ Cory ] there's a picture of you that turned out so good.

Gorgeous.

And there are so many pictures of puck in here.

You're gonna die.

Look at this.

[ Laughs ] that's the best one !

That is the best.

[ Cory ] pedro and I haven't grown closer,

We've grown farther apart.

And its not that I'm making a choice of puck over pedro.

It's just that maybe puck has more power to influence me,

Or whatever, I don't know.

[ Pedro ] I don't know anything but my family.

They have been my whole life.

[ Spanish ]

I am hot.

I'm always hot, baby.

[ Spanish ]

She's telling me, "you have a fever.

We have to get the thermometer out."

No, I don't want a thermometer !

Oh yeah, you are a little bit hot.

He's hot-- no, for real, for real, I'm not kidding.

Please-- it's hot !

Before I knew it, I had the thermometer in my mouth.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

He needs to go to sleep.

Yes, because he needs to rest, that's it's too.

Everything was fine until they forced me.

"You have a fever, you have fever."

Oh, god.

No, actually, I do feel warm.

I was gonna let me die.

[ Cory ] it wasn't pedro or you, puck, it was everyone.

But you did choose pedro over me, admit it.

See ? Everything's my fault.

Oh, see ?

Nothing is my fault, I'm sayin' it.

I know, that's the thing is,

That's what you won't see.

You won't ever try to see.

Keep your whining and stuff it in your butt.

You act like kids, and you got a little power,

And you used it all, didn't you ?

"Let's vote him out."

Puck, there weren't any good choices though.

Unanimous decision, it had to be.

Okay, but we were here to during that house meeting.

'Cause it's over and I'm out.

And fine, deal with your life.

But I would like to see those pictures and--okay, I'll meet you.

Should I just meet you at : in front of the nordstrom

Or in front of, like-- ?

Just give me a beep, that's your best bet.

All right, bye.

I don't know, I don't know how to confront him.

I don't... It just makes me nervous.

What up, cory ?

Yeah ?

Isn't that scary ?

[ Laughs ]

Look at this one, this one's good.

You can take any ones you want, I'm just gonna get more.

That's a really good picture.

Okay, I'll just take one of rachel 'cause she's a jerk.

[ Cory ] I was really excited to see puck,

But also there was a lot that had changed between us.

Ohh, dirty.

Dirty, you're in it.

In the gutter.

How's it feel to be in the gutter ?

It wasn't so great for me the last week.

As far as you telling me for rachel saying hi or something,

Y'know, tell her to kiss my butt.

I feel so...

Helpless and weak when I'm with puck.

She was my friend, cory.

Could've stopped it, could've put the brakes on and said,

"Oh, wait, I'm an adult, I'm gonna think."

Let's not be harsh and just feeding frenzy on puck while he's gone.

And don't even get into what my mom dealt with.

Oh, it was just awful for her, man.

I just feel stuck.

Stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck.

Y'know, you guys played the cops on me right there.

That really hurt my-- feelings.

But there's so many people in the house

That have been hurt by you too.

You just have to get the funny in me or not.

And you know what ? I prayed to god on the side of the house,

That little altar that I made.

I prayed to god to give me my life back.

I want my life simpler.

Four days after that I'm out of the house.

So you go figure, is god like,

Right there with me or maybe not.

Oh, god, puck.

I miss you.

[ Pedro ] I had lunch with my two best friends, alex and jesse.

Do you have a picture of me in there ?

Um, the pictures I have of you I have in my album.

Jesse is my oldest friend.

Out of all my friends from school

She's always been there for me.

And my roommate, alex,

Is a lot more than a friend to me, he's like a brother.

Right, right, right.

I thinking that I have to tell my sister before I go.

[ Alex ] tell her what ?

That I'm at least thinking...

Of maybe moving to san francisco.

Didn't you also have to talk to her about the test results ?

Your total helper "t" cells are right now.

Um, so that's a drop for you.

Yeah, but...

I mean, that's two big things.

That's true.

Although I'm kind of chickening out over the test results.

My decision right now is whether I want to have

A long-distance relationship with sean,

Or with my family.

And y'know, I kind of wanna be with sean.

For obvious reasons, he can give me things my family can't.

The only person that I told, um

That I'm thinking about moving to san francisco,

Is alex.

And he's not very happy about the idea.

Not to be pessimistic or anything, but y'know,

If you have an argument or something

Or something happens, okay, then what ?

You're on the next plane ?

Because what else--

I mean, who else is there ?

Well...

That's the risk I'm taking.

I know that, but that's the risk I'm taking.

Hey, hey.

Me and alex...

And just a group of friends

Met in south beach to go out and have some fun.

So we need three chicken skewers ?

You order for me.

[ Applause ]

I just started walking down ocean drive and talking.

And I was really feeling fine

Except that when I would breathe in deep

I would have this little pain in my chest.

When I was on my drive home

I just started thinking about the pain that I felt.

And I got really, really nervous.

[ Exhales ]

[ Rachel ] puck's the hugest manipulator in the world.

Puck specifically looks for what your weakness is

And he'll take that weakness

And use it against you.

What does he want ? What does he expect ?

What he wants is a sympathetic person in the group

Because he knows she's the...

She will just sit there and listen to everything he says.

And feel bad about it.

And I felt like, he's being very manipulative.

I don't know, I don't know what he's up to.

I don't know why he's...

Buggin' cory.

People make you or break you.

Cory going to see puck...

I don't know, it just sort of digs--

Puts more salt in your wounds, basically.

And the wounds aren't... That closed yet.

I just spent the whole day walking through the day

Like a complete zombie.

I don't understand anything.

Basically, all this weird stuff went down

And, even though it wasn't directly about...

You and puck, it was.

I just sat there, like, the whole time

Listening to puck.

And everything he said made sense,

I had nothing to argue about, nothing to say.

[ Thunder clap ]

Well, he was really nervous, I haven't seen him like that.

That's what scares me. And he had two bites--

[ Woman ] did he vomit once or did he vomit several times ?

No, once.

Basically, when I breathe

My chest hurts.

My biggest concern is that...

It could be pneumonia.

Y'know, we're kind of a corporation right now.

Um, y'know, patients have to have insurance.

[ Click ]

Y'know, all I want is an x-ray so I could know.

I'll call you as soon as I can.

I'll hold.

And I'll pay for it.

Can you wait just one second ?

[ Dialtone ]

I mean, if I'm dying, I would be like--

[ Bleep ]-ing dead by now.

So now, tell me what's happened in the past couple days.

Last night, I started getting...

Like, y'know, chest pains.

Can't get a real--see, right there,

I was just feeling a little bit uncomfortable.

But yesterday it wasn't just uncomfortable

It was like, pain, it was like--

Why don't we just take an x-ray ?

And then we can look at it.

[ Technician ] okay, honey, take a deep breath and hold it, don't move.

The x-ray looks fine, so we're left, um...

Y'know, kind of with our concept.

If it is early pneumonia, pneumocystis pneumonia,

It's extremely subtle.

But you've gotta get on prophylaxis,you know that.

Basically, the x-rays came back clear.

I didn't have pneumonia.

I was feeling fine except that I was tired.

So, I decided to just go and take a nap,

And before I knew it my sister was next to me.

And she was like, taking my temperature.

I tried to explain to her that I'll be fine,

But there's nothing I could tell her

That is going to stop her from worrying.

I'll be fine.

[ Phone rings ]

[ Jesse ] have you told your family about sean ?

Nope.

Tell them everything except for the fact

That you're gonna stay over there.

I'll do it when I come back.

Pedro !

I'll do it when I come back, I haven't had time.

And everything's been so crazy today.

Me and my father have a very unique relationship.

And I've never been one to like, try to get approval.

But it is important for me to know that my family

Is okay with what I'm doing.

I'm kind of a little bit sad that, y'know,

Nothing is resolved in terms of, I didn't tell them about

Me possibly moving to san francisco.

It's sort of like, I'm caught in between these two worlds.

[ Phone rings ]

Okay.

[ Cory ] hey, pedro, what's up ?

Hi, cory, how you doin' ?

I'm good, how are you ?

I'm doing great.

We were worried that you're gonna wanna see us and miss us,

But wanna stay home instead.

Well, I got kind of sick.

What kind of sick was it, like flu sick ?

I got these like, chest pains, I thought it was pneumonia.

But it wasn't, so I'm fine.

What are you gonna do today ?

I'm leaving to the airport now.

I didn't want to leave my family,

But at the same time I wanted to get to san francisco.

So, it was kind of like, mixed emotions about it.

Call us when you get in, okay ?

Okay, I'll call.

Did he tell you he was having chest pains ?

He didn't tell me any of that.

Pedro !oh yes !

Hey, you. How you doin' ?

Good.

[ Judd ] how was home ?it was great.

Do they know you're engaged ?

No.

I totally chickened out.

After I got back from miami

I had a lot of issues that I needed to work out with cory.

When I have an emotion or an issue about something

I need to confront it.

I felt like, you were spending all this energy

In trying to get to who puck was,

But you were not doing the same thing with me.

I just focused more on puck than anyone else

Because I wanted to believe

That he was a good person,

I wanted to believe that he liked me

And that I like-- you know what I mean ?

Because he pulls you in, but then he just beats you down.

Those are patterns of-of-of a*usive relationships.

And I think that cory needs to

Learn how to be more aggressive.

Learn how to listen to your gut more, you know.

You'll always know what's wrong and what's right.

I would've just sat there and taken it till the end

And had the worst time here.

I probably would've gone back like, needing

Total emotional psychological counseling

And weight watchers, because I would've been...

[ Laughing ]

No, I'm serious !

I think we just needed to kind of,

Talk things out.

I don't like fighting with you.

I don't like fighting either.

I don't wanna argue, I don't wanna fight.

I don't want to, y'know-- I just wanna be with you

Because it seems like I don't have enough time.

I've never been in a situation where...

Everything about my life is so uncertain.

I'm totally stressed out because of my health,

And I'm totally stressed out because of work.

And, I don't know what I wanna do.

Just call me and tell me.

That's the only thing I've ever asked for.

[ Whisper ] so, what are you gonna tell your sister ?

Oh.

I mean, I feel like I didn't accomplish

Any of the things I wanted to accomplish.

I mean, I talked about you...

What did you say ?

But I really didn't, like,

Express to her how serious it was.

I'll write her a letter.

On the next real world:

Well, it was bound to happen.

We're having a new roommate.

It has to be a guy.

Boy, boy, boy !

You had your shot and you blew it !

[ Phone rings ]

It's the puck, miss me ?

Sometimes.

That means yes.

That means sometimes.

[ Puck ] I don't believe you.

I swear it, right now.

I don't wanna kiss you.

This asparagus has not been cooked.

Okay, are you sure ?yes.

You're positive ?yes.

The asparagus is hot, pedro.

Babe, because of the hot water.

It's not cooked.

This asparagus is cooked.

This asparagus is not--

Cooked.

Rachel !

Come here.

Is this cooked ?

[ Rachel ] I washed them, stuck 'em in the bag,

Put 'em for two minutes in the mic'.

[ Sean ] see ?

[ Laughing ]

So are they cooked, pedro ?
