04x18 - Words of Love

[bunniefuu]

[female narrator] Previously on "The Real World.."

[Lars] The last time I had like, a real girlfriend

that I had stayed together with

for a long time was in '.

[Mike] I think that the girl that I'm really gonna like

is just gonna be random chance, you know.

I'm gonna like, go in the store

and I'm gonna drop the milk on somebody's foot

and that's gonna be the girl that I marry.

[Kat] This is the true story..

[Neil] Of seven strangers..

Seven strangers..

[Jacinda] Picked to live in a house..

[Jay] And have their lives taped..

[Lars] To find out what happens..

[Mike] When people stop being polite..

[Sharon] And start getting real..

[female narrator] "The Real World, London.."

[phone ringing]

[Mike] 'Hello.'

'Hang on.'

'Lars, it's for you.'

It's one of your b*tches.

You just call on them b*tches and go.

I mean, I'm ready.

I ain't dressing up for those b*tches.

[Jay] 'I'll call a girl a b*tch'

just to, a way to make jokes.

I must admit, I find comments about

b*tches quite offensive.

I really don't like the way

language is thrown around the house.

The fact that they can just do it as a joke

they will sit around and go

"Yeah, we found these b*tches the other night."

And I just find, you know, really shocking.

I wouldn't date a guy that was like

ever even referred to me as "my b*tch".

Mike would say the word "b*tch"

and not think about it.

[Sharon] Because it's so light over there

now in the youth culture at the moment.

It's even got to the point now

where you can speak of just

any random woman as a b*tch.

I think Mike is quite representative

of a lot of young men in the sense that

he will speak about women

in a certain way with his friends.

[Sharon] 'Mike, I feel that'

you feel rather comfortable with calling

any female a b*tch.

Just right across the board.

Just as a term of reference.

You mean just to be like

so what are you b*tches doing tonight?

[Sharon] 'I can see you just find it hugely funny.'

'Well, how have you come to this point'

'where you feel so comfortable about using it'

just as a general term of reference for a female?

It was that corruptive "Eazy-E" and "N.W.A"

that I grew up listening to that corrupted me.

[Sharon] 'Yeah, blame it on the hip-hop, Mike.'

I feel extremely comfortable with you guy

because I live with you.

'I use it so lax around people'

'that I am comfortable with'

'that it's like, no big deal.'

Well, if it's not a big deal with you

it's not a big deal for anyone.

Why are you offended, Neil?

[Neil] 'Oh, I am offended by it, yeah.'

Seriously?

[Neil] 'Well, I find it astounding'

that you can only use it

and not care about it.

[Mike] The b*tch thing

I can't ever remember using it

with any degree of seriousness.

But obviously, some of the members

in this house are maybe a little offended

by that term, so I will completely

stop saying it from, from now on in this house.

Because I don't want to offend anybody.

I will just stop using the word.

[instrumental music]

[Kate] I met this guy, Spencer

through Sharon's friend, Pia.

And I was kinda like

"Oh, Sharon, he's not bad looking."

We ended up at this gig, "Truck World"

and we kinda got along that night.

Of all the best places in the world,"Truck World."

Well, it could be worse.

[laughing]

There's this spark, you know, it worked.

[audience cheering]

[Kat] I don't know if it has potential.

'Thank you very much.'

[instrumental music]

[all] Woo-hoo!

[Lars] I haven't had a girlfriend for

actually for quite some time.

And now lately, I've been

a bit more relaxed about this

and more into seeking the real thing.

♪ I know one day your Prince Charming will come.. ♪

[Lars] I met a girl named Jeanette.

She is just really natural.

She is completely down to earth.

She is cool.

She knows what she wants.

She knows where she's going.

She knows where she's been.

♪ I can love you like that ♪♪

[Lars] Our minds just

clicked that night that we met.

Now, the two of us stayed up

and we were talking, and talking and talking

and then, more than just talking.

[instrumental music]

♪ Yeah ♪

♪ Yeah yeah yeah yeah ♪♪

Oh, my God.

'Who's got the keys?'

Yeah, please.

Look here. Gracias.

It didn't take me very long to understand

that I really like her.

[instrumental music]

Did you bring a girl around last night?

[Sharon] 'He had twins in here last night.'

[Kate] 'Blonde hair down to their waist.'

'Twins, baby.'

You brought the twins over here?

The first thing I heard about these twins

was something like, "Oh, Jay, you've got to come skating.

They're these two twins, blonde."

These are like, really good looking girls.

So this is our little house.

[Mike] 'I played hockey Saturday'

'and these two girls showed up.'

'And all of a sudden they kind of got'

'everyone's attention, because two gorgeous twins'

'usually attracts some attention.'

'Hit it very soft.'

Great shot.

I came home that day, I was like

Jay, you missed some neat twins.

'Even Sharon was impressed.'

I said they were stunning.

They are stunning.

So which one did you have?

I haven't had any of them.

I'm just talking to them.

'One of them has a boyfriend.'

'The other one's potential.'

[Jay] 'Is there any romantic interest'

'with these twins?'

So this is, Jay here, come on, baby.

Speak, speak honest with me, come on.

[Mike] 'Neither, neither one.'

- You're not after either one? - Neither.

[Sharon] 'They'rewayout of his league.'

[Mike] 'You don't think I can "shag"'

'either one of them?'

I think shagging either one is

not in the cards.

'They're not little b*mbos.'

'You couldn't just bed them just 'cause'

you're charming little Mike.

[Mike] 'Jay, what do you think?'

I think you're more attracted to them now that

somebody thinks you can't have them.

What? Yeah, you're exactly right.

He's just being a boastful..

...typical, typical male.

I mean, just you know, it's like "Oh yeah, you know.

Been there done that, I've had her."

So how much money should we put on this?

[laughter]

[instrumental music]

[Sharon] 'And then they can put stresses to you'

'just to ask questions.'

[laughing]

Christian religion is based on soccer.

It's founded on a strictly ace football team.

[Kate] I really like Spencer.

He's kind of a guy's guy, you know.

He goes to the pub, he drinks a lot.

But he's got like a soft streak to him.

We talked and he's read the same books I have

and he has things that he wants to do.

He's a lot different from the other guys

that I've met here.

He's definitely got a romantic side.

Listen, I really wish

I didn't have to go, you know.

[Kate] 'Call me in a month? Maybe?'

- Want me to call ya? Swear? - Yeah, yes.

[Spencer] 'Do you want to call me? Call me.'

Okay.

Call me!

[Kate] It's not gonna be like

really let me know

that he likes me.

It's definitely different

dating an English man.

Because my experience with American men

is they let you know that they like you.

He's a lot more subtle.

Hello.

Did you miss me, tons?

Like Toto and Dorothy.

[barking]

Ah.

[Mike] Everybody thinks that I'm just

like some sex-driven guy.

That like, my whole purpose

for living is to have sex.

But that's not me. That's not me at all.

I mean, I wanna go out and have a good time

and meet people.

[Jay] 'Nina is a really attractive girl.'

'And now he goes out with her and really enjoys'

spending time with her and she evidently

enjoys spending time with him.

Yabba-dabba-doo!

[instrumental music]

[Mike] With Nina, the way it is now

is I just kinda enjoy hanging out with her.

I like her a lot.

Sounds like a soccer game.

And it's-it's in between Rugby

and Sumo Wrestling.

[Mike] She's really interesting to talk to.

And we have a good time when we're together.

♪ Can't stop the rain from ♪

♪ Falling down ♪

♪ I'm here by your side ♪

[Jay] 'What do you mean you're not attracted to her?'

I don't know.

Well, I mean, I'm-I'm obviously

attracted to her, but like

'when I'm sitting there with her'

I don't like, have just like

this, this total mission

to just get on her, you know.

[laughing]

[Jacinda] 'Mike, Mike!'

'You're a changed man.'

I know.

'I guess it's 'cause, it's probably 'cause'

it's a girl I really like.

Well, not really like, but just, you know, respect and..

I know this is a hard concept for you to fathom.

But maybe you just like her as a friend.

Yeah.

[Jay] 'I'm curious.'

'Do you think you have the opportunity'

'to get on her?'

[Mike] 'I don't know, I've never'

'really even considered it'

'to tell you the truth.'

I don't know why.

I think I'm..

...going g*y or something.

You have a whole night

with these girls and it never

crossed your mind to do anything

other than talk?

I don't know, it was just so

comfortable and natural that..

[Jay] 'You're being serious, aren't you?'

But do you still wanna like, get her in bed?

- I don't know. - 'You don't know?'

- I don't know. - 'Oh, my God.'

I know.

I better, better get out of it

while I still can.

[laughter]

You know something, the whole time

I've been living here, I've never actually walked--

Why, why does it say pedestrians, there?

- That is stupid. - Oh, don't worry about it..

[Lars] I've been seeing Jeanette almost everyday.

And we just get along really well.

Bon appetite.

I mean, we just seem to have

a lot in common there.

The way we look at things

and we just really understand

each other very well.

[Mike] 'Could you see Lars going out with like'

'a nice, wholesome, mid-western girl?'

Not anymore than I could see you

going out with a -year-old black woman.

[laughing]

Cannot believe you've been doing this, Lars.

I have been like doing parties, like forever.

'And back in the days like in high school.'

I'd do like my high school parties and DJ there.

So, from there I just moved on.

[Jeanette] 'How're you going to get all this stuff'

'back to, um, Germany?'

I'm not gonna take it back.

No? Well, what'll you do then?

Just move in here with you.

[Lars] I feel quite special about Jeanette.

I have not felt like this

for um, a number of years.

No, I could almost, almost

almost say I fell in love.

[giggles]

[instrumental music]

[Kate] 'Spencer invited me to a wedding reception'

for one of his mates.

And a party, and a club

all in the same night.

Ooh, exciting night out.

When's that?

[Kate] 'On Saturday.'

[Kate] 'What are you doing tonight?'

- 'Tonight?' - 'Yeah.'

[Spencer] 'Well, nothing at the moment.'

Well, would you like to come over?

- Is that possible ? - 'Well..'

[Spencer] 'It's o'clock now.'

'Might just barely make it, wouldn't I?'

I don't know.

How long, how long would it take?

Would it take like..

Would it take hours again?

Or..

[Spencer] 'Probably.'

Why are we doing this?

This is probably not good

for either one of us.

[Spencer] 'What do you mean?'

Well, it's kind of last minute, isn't it?

This whole involvement?

- 'Yeah.' - Yeah.

[Spencer] 'You're not fishing, are ya?'

No, I'm not fishing.

'Well, I think, you're quite genuine.'

'And, uh, you know, as regards to me and you'

'I hope that we, you know..'

When you really like somebody

and you, you wanna kinda let them know that

and you've kinda sort of established

that there's some romantic interest

and then to have them like, lean over and pat you

on the knee and say

"I think you're a really nice person"

just doesn't do it.

- What is the deal? - 'With Spencer?'

I kinda asked him that, I'm like, "What are we doing?"

He goes, "Are you fishing?" I'm like, no, I'm not fishing.

I'd just honestly like to know, you know

what's going on.

I mean for me, it's like

either I really like someone

or I-I don't, you know.

If you only kind of like me

what's the point then?

I don't need a [beep] pen pal, thank you.

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

[Jacinda] 'Well, what was the like, uh'

'final outcome with that?'

I don't know.

I want someone really dynamic.

And I don't know if he is.

[Jacinda] Kat's been so confused recently.

She's been like so wishy-washy about Spencer

and what he's about.

One minute she's telling me

that he doesn't seem like

he's enough or interesting.

And then another minute she thinks

oh, well, maybe he doesn't like her.

I want someone who's like, who's brave enough to be like

"Listen, I really like you"

and to let it show.

[Jacinda] 'Is he a wuss, Kat?'

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm gonna take this weekend and see.

He has a wedding reception he has to go to.

He needs to bring somebody

so I need to dress up.

And then there's like, oh, the party afterwards.

'It will either be a complete disaster'

'or it will be okay.'

[instrumental music]

[Lars] Jeanette and I have only been

spending nights together so far.

But we have not spent

a whole day together, yet.

We decided on renting a convertible

and driving down to Brighton for a day.

I think after my day trip, I will know more.

You're responsible for the first

pounds of any damage.

'If you initial that one, please.'

Hey, darling, it's to now

and I'm at Baker Street right now.

I'll be there in about minutes.

See ya.

Smooth..

[instrumental music]

[Lars] I was like driving

and I had the stereo cranked up

and my cigarette, and I was

just driving down there.

[tires screeching]

Goodness!

[beep] hell!

I hadn't even arrived

at Jeanette's place, yet.

I don't know, the, the street got really narrow

the thing was like , feet wide.

And there was, like, curbs

on each side, about this high.

I wasn't really paying attention

and with the left wheel I hit that curb.

[male #] 'Well, you just lost your deposit.'

Threw out [beep] quid.

Yup.

I just hit a bump.

The car's wrecked.

I'm very sorry I spoiled our day.

And as soon as this whole thing is over with

I'll give you a ring

and I'll probably

come on by and cry.

Driving in some Porsche

and dying like James Dean

I can deal with that.

But just having some

stupid little accident like that

is just so pointless.

So useless, you know.

[instrumental music]

♪ I know what you speak ♪

♪ And you know ♪

♪ What I'm thinking ♪♪

If you died, I'd cry.

[Lars] So then we decided to go down

to Brighton by train.

♪ When you stare in each others eyes ♪

♪ Baby we're the same ♪

♪ Baby it's you ♪♪

[instrumental music]

[Lars] 'Did Kat ever come home last night?'

No, she stayed in Essex.

- At? - Spencer's.

Spencer's, and today

went to the wedding or what?

No, last night she went to the wedding.

I don't know what she's doing today.

Seems like everyone's sorted out now, isn't it?

Hi, Mike.

You just now coming home

from last night?

You stud.

So, Kat, did you have a nice evening?

[Kat] We went to a wedding reception

for one of his friends

and then we went to

a couple of parties after that.

Stayed out pretty late.

[Mike] 'So you haven't slept yet?'

No, no, we went back

and crashed at his place.

[Kat] It's not so much like that physical rush

of being so, so attracted to someone.

It's more like every time I see him

I'm reminded that I really

really like him as a person.

It's a bit saucy, that.

I was so much thinner then.

For that phone call the other day.

[Lars] 'How was your evening, Kat?'

[Kat] 'It was nice.'

So what's going down, what's happening?

Nothing.

- Nothing's happening? - No.

Hi, how are you? I'm gonna stay

at your house and ditch

all my roommates, hang out with you.

But nothing's happening.

- Shacker. - I like him.

- Does he like you? - Yeah.

Alright!

[all laughing]

[Kat] Still kinda getting to know him.

I'm not gonna rush into anything.

But it's nice to have someone

to hang out with like that.

It's really nice.

[instrumental music]

[Mike] 'Would you like to go see "The Exorcist?"'

[Nina] 'What's it about?'

'It's pretty old, isn't it?'

Yeah, it's a really old movie

about some woman whose head spins.

Well, would you like to do that then?

'Alright, you want me to just'

'meet you at your house?'

[Jay] Mike was on the phone arranging

to go out with this girl

Nina, one of these twins.

Then he got off the phone

and we're all laughing at him.

[Jacinda] 'Well, look at Mr. Play-with-the-basketball.'

- All coy. - You are so cute.

So are you making the moves, Mike?

Not like I would tell you anything anyway.

[Jacinda] 'You're not interested in her.'

Like you don't sit there and talk about you

and who you want to get more

than anybody else in this house.

And it seemed like that

they all thought that no matter what, I had to be, um..

I couldn't just go out and have, you know, have a good time.

That I had to shag this girl, no matter what.

[Jay] 'Mike, you're telling me you haven't talked about'

'the possibility of going to bed with this girl?'

Nope.

You lie.

And then he was like, oh, I've never talked

about me and Nina and sex

or something like that, and I was like

"Well, Mike, you know, you have."

You don't remember sitting there at that table?

[Mike] 'Oh, yeah, well, I was totally kidding.'

And that's when I got so mad

because I thought

that Jay was saying

that I had gone up to him and told him

that my total goal of seeing Nina

was just for sex.

If I remember right you and someone else

were like saying, "Oh, you're gonna

do this and this and this"

and I was like, just 'cause you guys

were being annoying I was like, "yeah."

Oh, shame on you, Mike.

You are the head of all conversations

about women and sports

and * * * them and getting your--

Yeah, but I've never talked about Nina

in this way, have I?

So why are you getting pissed off?

Because you guys are accusing me

of saying * * * that I did not say.

[instrumental music]

When you feel comfortable

to call women all manner

of derogatory terms

and, um, talk about

past conquests very freely

even in a joking sense

you have to expect a certain type

of reaction every now and then.

[Mike] 'And after five months of me'

just always joking around

I figured you guys would know

me better by now that

'you know, I am so seldomly'

'serious about anything.'

[Jacinda] 'Well, maybe you shouldn't joke'

'about it so much then.'

'We're meant to believe that'

'you're only joking all the time.'

[Mike] 'I feel shocked that you guys think'

that the talking side

the bull * * * side of me is the real me and, and--

[Sharon] 'It's an aspect of you'

that is undeniably part of the real you.

Because you present that to, to people.

So it is just as much the real you

as your other side.

I might have brought some of it on, on my own.

I-I am, I'm sure I did

just with the way I talk and stuff.

I just wanted someone

someone to go out with.

I've told these guys

what my feelings are of Nina.

That it's not this sexual-driven thing.

- Are those your boots? - Yeah, do you like them?

Yeah, they're not as bad as--

As I, as you expected?

[Mike] There is so much they haven't seen.

None of them have ever seen me with a girl I was with

or caring about.

I must apologize

for the way I look tonight.

I think you look

wonderful.

Awe inspiring.

Fabulous.

[Mike] I mean I obviously care a lot

more about Nina than

any other girl I've been with.

[female narrator] On the next "Real world.."

[Sharon] I was like, an hour and a half late.

Don't let it happen again

or I'm gonna walk out.

I know, I heard.

[Lars] Tonight is going to be

the biggest DJ gig ever for me.

[Neil] Poverty has forced me into doing

what I swore I always wouldn't do.

And that's wear a suit

and get out of bed in the mornings.

[Neil] 'That's a good haircut.'

Wow.

I got my tongue pierced

and got my hair like this.

It's really nice.

[Jay] - 'Can I feel it?' - Don't pull.

Just go like that, and feel how like, thick and like--

'You sat up seven hours, too.'

Oh, my God.

[Lars] 'Hey, girlie!'

No way, is that, is that real?

Or is that just for today?

It's real, it's gonna stay there

until it grows out.

Oh, no way, are you serious?

I don't know.

[Mike] 'I like it, my only problem is'

'you look just way too much like my'

'ex-girlfriend and I have to hate you now.'

[Jacinda] 'I didn't ask for an opinion.'
