16x11 - Danny's Back!

[bunniefuu]

[theme music playing]

-[Wes] This is the true story...
-[Lacey] Yee-haw!

-[Lacey] ...of seven strangers
-[Rachel] ...picked to live in a house...

[Nehemiah] ...work together,
and have their lives taped...

[Johanna] ...to find out what happens...

-[Danny] ...when people stop being polite.
-Shut up.

-[Melinda] ...and start getting real.
-[all laughing]

-[all] The Real World: Austin.
-[theme music concludes]

-[upbeat music playing]
-[car horns honking]

[indistinct chatter]

[Wes] At the Dizzy Rooster, I meet
a new girl, and her name is Wren.

I'm getting to know her,
I'm really digging her.

-Oh, you're so cool.
-[indistinct chatter]

I know.

[Wes] Life at the bar
is like being a hunter.

I look for the best looking girl
in the bar, and I will go after her.

Her name's Wren.
She's the hottest girl in Texas.

[Wren] Shut up!

When Wren's there, I already feel like
I have the best looking girl in the bar.

-[police siren blaring]
-[upbeat music concludes]

That's scary.

-That reminds me of, uh, back home.
-[Wren laughs]

[Wes chuckles] Yes.

I'm telling you right now,
I'm not a nice guy.

[scoffs] No.

Not to girls. To everyone else.

[Wes] I'm not a nice guy.
In fact, I can be a [bleep],

but I feel like I want
to be a nice guy to her.

Maybe that means that a girl like that
can bring out the best in me.

♪ I'm gonna change ♪

♪ Find me a good woman ♪

[Wes] I'm going inside.

If you want to come in,
I'd be v... ecstatic.

[upbeat music concludes]

[Wes] Right now
you're the kinda girl that I swear to God

-I could make changes in my life for.
-[upbeat music playing]

[laughs, clicks tongue]

[indistinct chatter]

[Johanna] Oops.

Oh, what is up with
everybody's [bleep] business tonight?

Hey, you know what?
Every instinct in my body tells me

to get rid of her...
get rid of her as fast as possible.

[Johanna] Why, 'cause she's 18?

You mean because she has
homeroom tomorrow morning?

-[Lacey] So, like, 19.
-[Wes] Hey, shut up, Johanna.

-That's disrespectful.
-[Lacey] She's only 19.

[Johanna] She's young, pretty, she's thin.

So am I jealous? No.
Do I feel sorry for him? Yes.

Because Wren's not giving him any.

Let me tell you. She's not giving you any.
That's why you're into her.

-Shut up.
-Listen to me. Listen to me, dog.

It bothers Johanna
the way that I am with girls.

Johanna's jealous of me with Wren.
I really don't care that much.

If she's jealous, great. Good for her.

Do you not think that it's fate maybe,
the fact that I met you so early?

I think it's an asset

-that I met you so early.
-[Wren] All right.

Then believing something like
that's really good. Don't let it go.

[Wes] In the past, my goals
have been to conquer girls.

But when I look into Wren's eyes,

she's the kinda girl
that I should treat like

I would treat someone that
I want to be with forever.

[Wren] Bye, ladies.

-Bye.
-Goodnight.

-[Wes] Hmm.
-Bye, babe.

Okay, goodbye.

[Rachel] We're going to... Okay,
then I definitely need to wear a skirt

-and something slutty.
-You... but you're gonna be on a bar.

We've been up on
quite a few bars on that street.

Yeah, but when it's someone
like you who's, like, my little sister...

-[Rachel] Yeah, that would be...
-And I don't want my little sister

on a bar in a skirt like a sl*t.

I can wear full-butt underwear.

[Wes] I consider Rachel
a little sister now.

I want to teach her to stop
being so annoying and, uh,

teach her to be a real woman.
Eric's gonna be so proud.

[Wes] Lacey, is it slutty
to be on a bar in a skirt?

[Lacey] Well, I think
if you put yourself up on a bar,

about five out of seven people
are gonna think you're a sl*t

just because you're up on the bar.

-And it's the focal point.
-[Wes] Rachel is a sl*t.

I'm not... I haven't had
sex here yet. I'm not a sl*t.

Yeah, I know, but you...
'cause you're in a different situation.

You're a sl*t.

[Lacey] And there are people
that act like sluts that aren't sluts.

You know what I mean?
There's acting slutty.

And then there's, like...

-[Rachel] I act slutty.
-[Lacey] Doing slutty.

I will agree with that. [laughs]

[Rachel] I have never really
gotten to be, like, party, single Rachel.

I've always been
totally absorbed into school,

and I've always had a serious boyfriend.

-[shutter clicks]
-[Rachel] And I feel like it's really

important for me to be able
to get this out of my system

before I settle down
with Eric permanently.

If you were not dating Eric,
you would be a sl*t.

[dramatic music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

[crowd whistling, cheering]

Yeah!

[Rachel] I haven't made out
with somebody for a long time,

and I just want to find
a guy to make out with.

[cheering, applauding]

[Rachel] Matt is the bouncer
at Dizzy Rooster.

He is also a good kisser
for drunken nights,

and nothing more beyond that.

[music fades]

Oh! Ow! I almost caught the house
on fire! We burned the towel!

[Melinda] He made out with you.

[Rachel] Matt was cute,
and he was a good kisser.

That's my new boy on Sixth Street,
for... Collin.

[Melinda] Matt is so cute.

-Go for him!
-[Nehemiah] No, he's not!

[Melinda] Yes, he is cute!

-Yes, he is.
-She kissed him.

[Wes] He's the biggest dork
on Sixth Street.

-Matt.
-[Danny] Hey, do it.

[Melinda]
Who's better looking, Collin or Matt?

[upbeat music plays, stops]

-[Wes] Rachel.
-Neither one of 'em.

[laughs]

-[Wes] Rachel, Rachel.
-Neither one of 'em.

[Nehemiah] You ain't [bleep] with
nothing that we have at any place.

I care that Rachel was hooking up

with the doorman at the Dizzy
because Rachel has the tendency

to hook up with the people
that are hooking me up.

And it makes a situation tense.

You're not [bleep] up
nothing that we have

just 'cause you get drunk
and want to make out with everybody.

I think Nehemiah
just likes to push my buttons.

My mom always says,
"Don't give 'em a reaction

because that's what they want
out of you, Rachel, is a reaction."

And I can never not give them a reaction.

Don't do a Collin.
Don't do a Collin on him. Please.

-She doesn't want to do a Collin.
-You need to be quiet, Nehemiah.

-[Nehemiah] I don't.
-You need to be quiet!

-[Nehemiah] I don't.
-[Danny yells]

[Nehemiah] You raising
your voice isn't gonna scare me.

[Danny] Get up. Get up.

[Nehemiah yells] You raising your voice
isn't gonna scare me, Rachel!

-You wanna come hit me?
-Yeah!

Do you want to come hit me?
You better shut the [bleep] up!

It's none of your [bleep] business
who I talk to!

-[Nehemiah] Oh!
-Oh, you got me worked up.

You're happy about that? Wow, good job.

You can get people worked up, but you
don't have no other substance to you.

You, [bleep]! Go to [bleep] bed!

I can't stand living with you.
I don't deserve this [bleep]!

[Danny] Rachel, come here. Rachel.

Hey, I'm making you a fajita!
No one will eat it.

[Wes] I'll eat it.

[dramatic music playing]

I'm not gonna lose my fajita
over a [bleep] coward!

Okay? I'm gonna eat my [bleep] fajita.

And you are the [bleep] coward
who can't talk [bleep] to me!

You know what? That's it!

I don't wanna talk to you
the rest of the time I'm here.

I don't want to lose out on my experience
of living in a [bleep] mansion

because of some
weak little film student! No!

[Nehemiah] I'm sitting back,
and I'm looking at this person making

-a scene over nothing.
-No!

I've never seen anybody overreact
like this ever in my life, so, very funny.

You know what?
Don't be concerned about who I talk to

or who I make out with in a bar
'cause it's none of your [bleep] business!

You're a [bleep] sl*t [bleep].
You don't need to worry about me.

[Nehemiah] You're the sl*t.

-[Johanna] No, Nehemiah.
-You're the sl*t.

-Let me speak.
-[Johanna] Nehemiah.

[Rachel] You think I'm a sl*t?
Come here, hit me.

-Tell me I'm a sl*t.
-I'm not gonna hit you.

-No, he just called me a sl*t!
-Rachel, Rachel, Rachel.

♪ My hate for you grows with every ♪

-Rachel, come here. Rachel!
-He just called me a sl*t.

I hope to God he gets shot
on the street one day!

I'm gonna tell all my friends about you,
and I hope you get shot one day!

♪ With every lie that you've told ♪

[Danny] Rachel, stop it. Rachel.

I'm holding Rachel back because

I know Nehemiah
can control himself. Rachel can't.

And she is acting
like a little childish girl.

-[Rachel crying]
-[Danny] She just tweaked.

[Rachel sobbing]

[music fades]

Soap opera, dog.

[upbeat music playing]

[Nehemiah]
I don't even consider Rachel a target.

Rachel makes herself a target.

Rachel paints a big bullseye
on her face, and says,

"Go ahead, hit me."

And she gets hit
every single time she tries to do that.

That girl is straight up
emotionally [bleep] up.

Like, before the Army.

The Army didn't do that to her.
Her childhood did that to her.

And I can laugh at it
'cause she could never live in my family.

What I said to her tonight
will be every day [bleep]

that she would have to live through.

Please let me get up
and hit him so I can go home.

[Melinda] No, you're not going to.
You know your emotions.

-Stop, take a deep breather.
-[cries] I want to go home.

-[Johanna] Rachel, look at me. Rachel.
-Why don't people understand me?

-I wanna go home.
-[Johanna] Please.

Well, I hope he has
an aneurysm in his sleep

and dies in his sleep tonight.

[Melinda] You don't wish that.
No, you don't wish that.

-[Melinda] Rachel, you do not.
-Yes I do.

[Melinda] You do not wish death
on anybody.

-Yes, on him.
-[Melinda] No.

-[Johanna] No, Rach, look in my eyes.
-I want to go home.

-I hate this [bleep].
-[Johanna] Look in my eyes, please.

Listen to me. Rachel, Rachel.

[upbeat music playing]

[car horns honking]

[Nehemiah] He's in love with Wren.
He's in lust.

Wes is a sucker for love.

The minute that a girl comes across

that just whispers sweet nothings in
his ear, his whole state of mind changes.

We call him "Captain Save a h*."

If I was lusting for her

would I be thinking, possibly,
about having sex with her?

-I'm not.
-You are.

[Wes] When I look into Wren's eyes,

I don't care about anything
but being with her.

And that is what scares me the most

because I look at every other
girl that I've seen down here,

and I think about how fast
I can get her pants off.

With Wren, it's not that way.

You guys are literally making me sick
to my stomach to hear... like that.

[phone ringing]

-[Wren over phone] Hello?
-[Wes over phone] What are you doing?

-I'm getting dressed.
-What are you doing tonight?

Um. I'm going downtown.

-Yeah, where you going?
-I don't know.

Probably the same place
I always go, places.

[Wes] I'm going out with Danny tonight.

Taking him out on a guy's night out
'cause I thought you were at work.

-Don't worry. I won't meet up with you.
-[line disconnects]

Hello?

♪ It is never in ♪

♪ Never in ♪

[Johanna]
Is Wren going out tonight?

Okay, first off, I said... [chuckles]
..."I'm going out with the guys."

-And before I could even finish me saying...
-[Johanna laughs]

..."Can we meet up later,"
she hung up the phone.

-And I would...
-[Johanna] So she's really sensitive

-right now.
-Yeah.

[Johanna] The whole thing
with Wes and I, it was just stupid.

I don't want to be mad at him.
I don't want to be mad at anybody.

I really do love his company,

and that's why
I like hanging out with him.

Yes, Raquel?

Wes and Johanna have
so much sexual tension.

I think Wes really likes Johanna,
whether he says it or not.

[upbeat music playing]

-They're hot.
-No they're not.

I agree.

♪ That girl start my motor ♪

[Wes] I have no idea why Johanna
finally wants to go in for the kiss,

but I'm going with it because something
in the back of my mind says,

"Do it because you might never ever
get a chance to do this again."

-[Wes] You want to go to Exodus?
-[Johanna] Yeah, let's go.

♪ Come on darling ♪

♪ You live just around the corner ♪

♪ And I'm standing with a bottle of wine
We can't drink it ♪

["In The Cut" fades out]

[upbeat music playing]

-Where's Nehemiah?
-[Lacey laughs]

Me and, uh, Nehemiah
and Danny all kinda split up.

-[Johanna] Yeah.
-On accident.

Wes and I made out.

Before anybody makes
a bigger deal than what it is.

[Lacey] I already could tell. That's why

-I was laughing when you came in.
-[laughs]

[Lacey]
I'm absolutely floored by this because,

in my mind, Johanna is just
so far out of Wes' league.

[Lacey] You didn't do
what you told me you were gonna do.

Which was?

But the second she starts
kissing me, I'll kiss back for, like,

less than a second.

And then I'll pull away,
I'll look her in the eyes, and say...

[Lacey] "This is what you coulda had."
And then walk away.

[Johanna laughs]

-And then walk away.
-Yeah, right.

-"This is what you coulda had," walk away.
-[laughs]

-[Wes] I hate you, Lacey.
-[Lacey] No you don't.

[Wes] Lacey, I hate you.

-Please.
-No, come on.

-I can smell it on you.
-It is not my fault.

You made out with Johanna?

You made out with Johanna?

-[Wes] Joey.
-That's garbage.

[Nehemiah] I don't even know how
to describe Johanna hookin' up with Wes

because that [bleep] right there is crazy.

I hope they know what they're doing.

You and Wes made out?
Shut the [bleep] up!

-You did not make out with Wes.
-[Lacey] You are so slow, Danny.

-[Nehemiah] Did you like it?
-Ow, ow!

-[Johanna] Of course I liked it.
-It was a midwestern make-out.

[Nehemiah] That's [bleep]!
I lost respect for both of you guys.

No, not just you guys, but Johanna mainly.

-[Nehemiah] This is [bleep]!
-[Danny laughs]

[Nehemiah] I wanted to make out with her!

I think Wes better get them drawers

or else Wes will be
slapping himself in the end.

And if you don't [bleep] her,
you're a [bleep].

-I like Wren.
-No, no, no.

-No, you do not!
-[cries] Oh, God, no!

Shut the... Shut up!

-[Nehemiah] No! Hit this mother...
-[Danny] Hit him.

Right now I like Wren more than
anyone else that I met down here,

way more than Jo.

Hey, if you don't [bleep] some of that
Peruvian [bleep], you're a [bleep].

[Danny] Listen, listen, listen.

-Not tonight, though.
-[sniffles] No, [bleep] tonight!

-No, no, no, no.
-[Nehemiah] Joey is banging.

-Dude, it's too early.
-[Nehemiah] It's not.

The entire time I was kissing her,
you want to know what I was thinking?

-I was like...
-[Danny] Don't say

-you were thinking about Wren.
-[Nehemiah] Shh!

-[Nehemiah] Tell me.
-[Danny] Do not tell me that.

-[Danny] Tell me. Tell us.
-Tell me.

I'm not telling you anything.

-[Nehemiah] You did! You're a [bleep]!
-[Danny] You were thinking about Wren!

[both yell]

[Danny] You were!

[Nehemiah] [bleep] her. Please, for me.

-For you.
-[Nehemiah] No, no. Not for you.

-For...
-For America!

-[Wes] But I'm spinning right now.
-No, no, no, no, no.

Sit him up, sit him up.

-Take a piss.
-Water, water. Come on.

Hey, Wes, no, this is for America!

[patriotic music playing]

[Nehemiah] America!

I like to make out with you and Wren.

[Nehemiah] Oh!

I like to make out with you
and anybody else that comes along.

[upbeat music playing]

-Well, I'm glad we have a...
-[indistinct chatter]

[Johanna] Wes has kissed me,

but I know that Wes and I
are not gonna make it a big deal

'cause we both have a mutual understanding

that he can go out and get with
as many people as he wants,

and I can go out and do the same thing,

and it's not gonna turn into,
like, an argument between us.

That's the nice, relaxing part about it.

I don't know. I keep on getting
in a fight with one of my roommates, Dad.

-[Rachel's dad over phone] What happened?
-We went to a bar.

And I made out
with some guy and whatever,

and my roommate just straight up, like,
called me a sl*t, Dad, like a real sl*t.

[Rachel's dad] There's not a lot
that you can do about it,

except just be above him,
be better than him.

Look at him and say, "You know what?"

"You... You're not worth the aggravation."

"Shut the [bleep] up
and get out of my life."

[upbeat music playing]

My dad's right.
You don't have to like somebody.

Just don't let them aggravate you.

The night that you got in a fight
with him, that was not aggravated.

That was irate.

[Rachel] Yeah, that was horrible.
I don't even want to talk about that.

The outburst I had with Nehemiah,
I don't think that was me.

And I don't understand why
I got so angry, and why I freaked out.

I didn't even used to have anger outbursts
like that. I swear to God.

I got my counseling appointment
tomorrow at the VA.

Like, go to the PTSD stuff.

From PTSD, you can have
anger and crying outbursts.

Like, oh, maybe that's it.

I want to ask Rachel
to go on a walk and talk to me...

about Iraq.

The reason why I think
Rachel flips out a lot of times

is because of stuff that
she's dealing with inside.

The whole purpose of me
asking you is just like I heard you,

you know, mention Iraq a lot today.

And I feel like maybe it's on your mind,
maybe it's bothering you.

'Cause I feel like I know you feel like
people in the house don't get you.

[Rachel] Danny's putting in effort
just by initiating the walk

and bringing up the subject,
but I'm willing to put in some effort too.

And maybe tell him some things
I haven't told the other roommates.

Like, really, just the only thing

that really... the worst part
about being there was just, um,

being scared 24 hours
a day for a whole year.

That's what wears down on you.

You're just always... your senses
have to be like 100%, you know.

You're always looking, looking,
looking, looking for something dangerous.

Always listening for something.

There's not, like,
one second where you feel safe.

When you go through that much stress
and fear in a year period of time,

I don't know if maybe that's letting
some of that out when I cry and get upset.

[Danny] I think what you did
is nothing short of amazing.

Just know that. And I do respect you.

And that's 110%
from the bottom of my heart.

-Oh, Rachey poo.
-I'm not gonna cry.

[chuckles]

-I'm not gonna cry.
-Yeah, you...

[Rachel] Danny and I have
a brother and sister relationship.

I think that
we're gonna end up being friends.

I mean,
if most people in the house asked,

I'd tell 'em, except I don't know
if Nehemiah asked, if I'd tell him.

Maybe you need to tell
the really bad stuff to Nehemiah.

Maybe he doesn't know as much.
Make him see.

I don't know how to say it
without sounding like a total [bleep],

but I really don't think
Nehemiah's worth the time or the effort.

[Danny] You never know.
You know what I mean?

If you go and you talk to him,

you guys could end up
best friends after this.

Nope.

[Rachel] Not everybody
is as understanding as you, you know.

Or everybody else in the house.

It's nice to finally
be around people that understand.

I'm really feeling not so weird
for the first time since

I've gotten to Austin
'cause I'm not crazy.

It's just, you know,
there's some stuff to deal with.

♪ Oh you'll be the death of me ♪

♪ I wish we stayed strangers ♪

[song fades]

[Danny] And she made out with Wes
like four times last night, right? Joey.

Dude, they're gonna so get
together, it's ridiculous.

I feel bad for Wes, though,
'cause that's a frickin' mind job.

When they get drunk, they'll kiss
and stuff, and she'll be all lovey-dovey,

and the next day she'll pretend
like she doesn't know him.

[Nehemiah] That's why I...
I left her alone.

[laughs]

[Melinda] Yeah, I remember
one of the first days you were like,

"I think Jo was put here for me."

[Nehemiah] And that same night
is the night when she beat me up.

[all laugh]

[Nehemiah] She whooped my [bleep]
in the club. I felt like such a punk.
