15x02 - 'Out' in Philadelphia

[bunniefuu]

- SARAH: Previously on, "The Real World."

- My name's MJ. - MJ?

- Yeah. - I'm Landon.

- Landon, very nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, man, where you from?

- At last; Nashville, Tennessee.

- So, what's the skinny, are you single and all that?

- Uh, there's kinda a girl back home.

I'm leaving a girl behind, by the name of Ashley.

- I'm Sarah. - MJ.

- Hey. - Very nice to meet ya.

- MJ has one of the best bodies that I've ever seen in person.

- What's your name?

- Melanie. - Melanie, Karamo.

- Karamo. - Karamo, Shavonda.

- Nice to meet you. - KARAMO: Shavonda is gorgeous.

She has a beautiful smile that lights up the room.

- SHAVONDA: Karamo, he's like, your typical athlete, you know,

he's really a man's man.

- I'm Willie, nice to meet you. - What's up, man, Willie?

- KARAMO: Willie, I was like,

"Oh, Okay, here's a g*y roommate."

- MJ: I've never really hung out

with a h*m* before, but this is cool though.

- Alright, man.

- And I'll respect you, I'll give you that.

- I don't hang out with that many h*m* myself,

you know. - [laughing]

- I'm g*y.

- [dramatic sound]

- No way. - So crazy, dead-a*s.

- SHAVONDA: He says,

"I feel like we have alot in common,

that is why I'm telling you in confidence that I'm g*y."

But then I got this huge secret on my shoulders.

Please don't let anybody in the house ask me,

"Do you think Karamo's g*y?"

WILLIE: This is the true story.

- SARAH: Of seven strangers.

- WILLIE: Oh, my god!

- MJ: Picked to live in a house.

- KARAMO: Work together, and have their lives' taped.

- MELANIE: To find out what happens.

- SARAH: I'm over it.

- SHAVONDA: When people stop being polite.

- WILLIE: Oh, shut up.

- LANDON: And start getting real.

- ALL: "The Real World Philadelphia."

- [shouting] - Oh, hot tub!

- [cheering]

- LANDON: Let's go!

- Landon's ready. - MAN: You saw Mickey Mouse's --

- WILLIE: Hi.

- MJ: You saw girls, girls, girls,

probably my biggest weakness.

Probably one of the biggest flirts that you'll ever meet.

That's your body.

- What? - MJ: Woop-woop.

- What about my body? You have any insults?

- MJ: So, that's your body. oh, I like it.

- I feel there's a little sexual tension between me and MJ.

- Hook-ups in the house.

Possibility or not a possibility?

- Possibility, just because I'm the type of person

who doesn't, like, get weird about it.

- SHAVONDA: Could happen. - LANDON: Exactly.

Why would you not kiss a roommate?

- I mean, we're just --

we're, like, in this really strange place,

and you're, like, looking for a little comfort sometimes.

I have always been able

to relate more to a guy's perspective

on certain issues, especially sex.

I'm like a guy, I am, when I'm not --

I'm , I'm young.

I cannot go four months without physical contact.

- MJ: I tell you what, Sarah,

I can tell that's she's probably gonna be trouble

before this is over with.

- SARAH: Where's Mel and where's Willie?

- SHAVONDA: I thought Mel and Willie were bonding.

- WILLIE: Can I tell you something?

- Huh? - Karamo.

- MELANIE: Yeah.

- WILLIE: It's weird, like, I get a vibe from him.

And he's been, like, very touchy feeling with me.

- Mm-hmm.

- And, like, I don't know where he comes from,

but I know he has a Christian background

or whatever.

I'm not sure what his, you know, sexuality is

or what's going on there,

but it's just bizarre and unexpected.

- I don't think Karamo's g*y,

I think, Willie's gaydar's a little messed up.

- From now on, just try to notice it.

- I think he's just really friendly.

- KARAMO: No, don't be looking at me like that.

- I'm not.

- Like he just gave me the sexy man look.

- WILLIE: [laughing] No, I didn't.

- I'm gonna back up on that one.

No, we've already had the talk.

He's respected me, I respect him;

if somebody were to -- with him,

I'd have your back, and that's the biggest thing.

- WILLIE: Alright, man. - No, and I truly would.

- KARAMO: How did you know, did he tell you?

- MJ: Well, he didn't tell me straight up, but, whatever.

- WILLIE: It's not like you didn't know,

[chuckling] you know?

- You can call it being very intuitive,

you can call it having a good gaydar,

but I can tell whenever somebody's g*y,

especially if I'm living with them.

- KARAMO: You don't feel like that's putting you in a box?

By saying it? - I really couldn't care less.

- I don't obviously feel the need to come out,

and say, "I'm Karamo, and you know, hey, I'm q*eer."

I just have to feel the time is right.

- Is everybody already asleep in this place?

- SARAH: Yeah, we're-- and we should probably, yeah.

- MJ: Yeah. - [laughing]

- Are you naturally redheaded?

- Yeah, my dad's a redhead.

- Hmm. [chuckling]

- What?

- I only like blondes.

- [chuckling mockingly] - MJ: We can be friends.

- Okay, thank you. - MJ: But not lovers.

- Thank you for that privilege. - [chuckling]

- MJ: It's just my thing.

I don't know if it was

whenever I was a kid I've loved Barbie dolls

or what it was, but it's just my--

if there's a blonde girl in the room,

I will probably approach them,

even if they're really not that pretty.

Why the only problem about you, Sarah.

- SARAH: Yeah?

- Is that you are hot.

- SARAH: I'm attracted to MJ because he's made it clear

that I'm not his type off the bat,

and I can't stand not being anyone's type off the bat,

so that just gives me something to work on.

I'm not gonna change my hair color for MJ,

I'm gonna make him realize,

people without blonde hair are actually better.

- ♪

- Too early, need sleepy.

- [water running]

- MJ: It looks good, I like that shirt.

You look earthy.

- No, it's actually very naughty.

I had sex in this once.

- MJ: [laughing] Oh, my god. - Just this with pig tails.

- Mmm, we don't need to go there yet.

Sarah's almost like a sexual predator,

almost everything comes back to sex.

- Leg warmers.

- Those are hot, are they like --

have you had sex in those?

- Just these. - [chuckling]

You ever just had sex while you were naked?

- SARAH: Yeah.

- Seem like you dress up a lot.

- SARAH: That's the best way; naked.

- MELANIE: I think that Sarah's a big flirt.

She's just a little more flirty

than either me or Shavonda would be

with the guys in the house.

- [whispering] Sarah's over there talking about

how she gets dressed up, and she has sex a lot.

- LANDON: She was telling me last night

that she walks around naked sometimes.

- Let's see it.

- [chuckling] I don't have a problem.

- What are you saying about me?

- MJ: You seem to have a lot of sex.

- That's part of life-work balance.

And you get an aerobic workout, for exercise.

- LANDON: If you last that long. [chuckling]

- [typing sound] - What you in here doing?

- I'm just looking for places to go out.

Nightlife, yeah, there we go.

I know there's a big, g*y population in Philadelphia,

'cuz trust me, I have been doing me research.

I know where the g*y bars are,

I will be going to the clubs right away.

- Where y'all going on whatchamacallit, Friday?

- Shampoo.

- Are we all going?

- Yeah, if you wanna go, it's g*y.

- Yeah, I'm down, just tell me what time we're leaving.

You think MJ will come with us?

- Probably not. - [chuckling] What about Landon?

- Probably not.

- KARAMO: With me, when it comes to my sexuality,

I let people know when I'm feeling comfortable

or feel there's a need to know.

Your real name is William?

- Yep!

- That's my ex's name.

- William.

- Worst name ever.

- [motor engine sounds]

- I'm going crazy.

- RAY: Already, what happened?

- Not, I mean, everyone's -- everyone's very peace-y,

and--and polite and great.

- RAY: [laughing] Like the happy Brady Bunch.

- [chuckling] Brady Bunch.

- RAY: With two g*y guys, and, uh-- [laughing]

- Two g*y--

and that's another thing, like, I've been tryna talk,

efbut, like, he's, like, real effeminate.

- RAY: Mmm.

- And so, how many effeminate dudes

you know me hanging around?

- RAY: Not many at all.

- You know what I mean? Zero to none.

Willie's the g*y roommate.

He likes to shop, and he wears a man's bag,

were me on the opposite, there's no man bag,

it's Timbs and Timbs, you know?

Like, he's already got, like, the big g*y event

to go to Saturday or whatever, you know what I mean?

- RAY: What is it?

- I don't know,

my thought patterns hadn't even been on that,

you know what I mean?

Like, where he's been here two days,

and he's already got the hot g*y event to be.

Since Willie and I are on two different ends of the spectrum,

I haven't been able yet to turn to him for that comfort.

Then the only other dude that I really--

the two dudes I really do chill with,

they don't know that I, you know, know I'm g*y yet,

so I don't--like, the minute I tell them,

- RAY: Damn.

- They gon' switch up and start acting different,

you know what I mean? - RAY: Trust me.

- KARAMO: MJ most reminds me of my friends back home.

They are all cool, down to earth, loves sports.

I would feel upset

if the relationship between MJ and I changed.

And so you see what my dilemma is right now?

- RAY: Absolutely.

- Why I'm kinda, like, antsy, know what I mean, like--?

- RAY: Yep, I totally feel you.

- WILLIE: I don't know what issue he has with his sexuality,

but he did tell me he did have a boyfriend.

He was, like, "My ex has your name."

He was like, "I hate that name."

- With me, he just came out,

and just-- we spoke about it.

With you--he came up to me,

and he was like, "I tried talking to Willie,

and Willie wasn't really biting back, and--"

- WILLIE: He said that?

- Yeah, and he was like,

"The moment has passed, you know,

there goes that opportunity."

- WILLIE: I'm like, if you wanna talk about something,

then come up to me, and talk to me about it.

I'm not gonna be like,

"Oh, he made a statement that's intended to, you know,

probe me to probe him."

I just feel, like, it's much more easy

to just come out and say it,

as opposed to this big, like, "Waah!"

- It's gonna start getting awkward, though,

it's only been a day --

- It's already awkward. - SHAVONDA: But listen,

like, MJ and Landon, they have no clue.

- WILLIE: They really don't have no clue, do they?

- SHAVONDA: They have no clue,

so we're, like, the only two that he's--

- MJ: I just wanted to show you

those pictures of Ashley up there.

- LANDON: You got some? - Yeah.

Ashley is the girl back home

that I have come into this project, um, dating.

- [gasping]

- Oh my god, you're adorable.

,- [laughing] - SHAVONDA: Oh my god!

- LANDON: This is, like, the two month thing?

- MJ: Mm-hmm.

- LANDON: Laying it on a little thick, huh?

- [laughing]

- LANDON: Two months and you have this?

- SHAVONDA: Do you understand that she's beautiful?

- MJ: Yeah, she's gorgeous.

As long as we stay in touch and communicate,

then it's something that I think that'll work out,

but, um, you never know.

God, I shouldn't have said that right there. [laughing]

That's gonna get me.

- LANDON: To be continued.

- UNISON: Oh!

- [laughing]

- [blow dryer blowing]

- MJ: Sarah wants you to see her looking at you.

She likes to--to make this eye contact

and kinda give this little...

You got it, thanks, my dear.

- You're welcome.

- MJ: I'm a very sexual person,

but I don't have to sit there and talk about it,

and give looks and stuff like Sarah does.

- SARAH: Am I being to obvious about the fact

that I wanna hit that?

- I think MJ's hot.

- SARAH: I don't know,

I feel sexual tension between us.

- SHAVONDA: You do? - Mm-hmm.

But whatever, it's stupid, you know?

- SHAVONDA: Yeah.

- SARAH: I'm not blonde. - [chuckling] There's no hope.

- MJ is just drawn to the cheapest tricks in the book

of what girls do to attract men.

You see MJ's girlfriend?

- You see that photo album?

- Ugh! - SHAVONDA: It's elaborate.

- She's pretty,

but in a very, like, makeup, like, her hair is dark.

But she dyes it blonde, you know?

- SHAVONDA: Oh! I'm just unclear where he stands because we were

like, "You guys have boyfriends or girlfriends?"

And I was like, "I have a boyfriend,"

and he did the whole kinda sorta thing.

MJ has what we call, a "kinda sorta."

Where you kinda have somebody at home,

and they're sorta your girlfriend, but not really.

We can even call it a "kinda sorta, not really."

So, it's kinda hard to feel out what his intentions are here.

- ♪

- Tonight, we're gonna go out to South Street,

it's kinda like a hot spot, lots of clubs.

- You guys, I'm thinking about hopping in a cab,

and going to a g*y club.

Do you-- would you guys mind?

- I'm coming with you. - Okay, I'm going.

- LANDON: Willie has decided

that he wants to go to another club,

and so Willie and the girls go their separate way,

and Karamo, MJ, and I have decided to go our separate way.

- MJ: So, this is Philadelphia.

- This is Philly, baby.

- KARAMO: I love hanging out with MJ and Landon,

they remind me of my boys back home.

We have a good time.

- MJ: Alright, I gotta-- gotta go head and say it,

would you guys have been that comfortable

going to, like, a g*y bar, though?

- Yeah. - Really?

- I don't think I would've.

- Being from the South,

it's just, like, if you're straight--

You just-- you stay away from that,

if--if you're g*y, you're g*y.

Like, you just kinda, and, I mean, that's all I know.

It's not that I have a bad outlook on h*m*,

it's just something that was never really talked about.

- KARAMO: Why would you feel uncomfortable going to the club?

Like, every g*y man's not gon' bother you,

that's the whole thing. - LANDON: Really?

- KARAMO: Like you in there dancing,

you doing your thing or whatever.

Plus y'all was gon' have girls with y'all.

- So, have you been to g*y clubs before?

- KARAMO: Yeah. - Yeah?

- KARAMO: Yeah, all the time. Yeah.

- MJ: You're not? Are you h*m*?

- Yeah, I'm g*y.

- MJ: Are you h*m*? - Yeah, I'm g*y.

- LANDON: I would never have guessed.

I would never have guessed. - KARAMO: Yeah.

- Why--why haven't you told us that, like--?

- KARAMO: I mean, who the hell, like, when you came up to me,

did you need me to be like, "Hey, I'm--" you know?

- MJ: No, not at all.

- KARAMO: I'm not like Willie, you know what I mean?

I don't need to, like, be over here,

like, you know, all that bull.

- LANDON: "Come on girl, sister!"

- I mean, that's just not me.

- MJ: Well, I guess the biggest thing then

is it totally takes away from the stereotype that I thought.

I'm the type of person who I always feel like

I know my surroundings,

and I know exactly what's going on around me.

And now that Karamo has broken that stereotype,

it's a weird feeling for me.

- KARAMO: But I don't feel like, no need to tell people,

you know what I mean,

'cuz that doesn't define who I am.

I'm still, you know, a dude, and--

- MJ: Exactly.

- The fact that he has two degrees

of h*m* in the house,

one who's a little bit more effeminate,

one who's masculine,

it's letting him see that we aren't all the same.

- I respect it, and I just want to tell you that.

I truly do.

And ain't nothing gonna change between us.

- Okay. - You gotta know that.

- [motorcycle engine sound]

- MJ: Alright, you little hottie.

You need to go to bed, look at your little eyes.

Go to bed, go to bed.

- SARAH: I don't know.

I think that with MJ, there is an attraction there,

but I feel so comfortable around him,

and we joke around a lot,

I don't know, I just connect with him as a friend,

so that line is confusing to me.

I need to find another boy; outside the house,

so I can have a kiss goodnight.

- WILLIE: That's all you want?

- SARAH: That's all I want.

- WILLIE: You liar! [laughing]

Sarah is a very sexual person,

and, obviously, being deprived of pleasure

for more than a few days is hard for her.

- SARAH: I just want a kiss.

- "Just a kiss." - SARAH: [chuckling]

- WILLIE: You are a mess, I love it.

- MJ: Landon and I really wanna go out today,

and see some of the city,

and just kinda get a feel for Philadelphia.

- ♪ Philadelphia

♪ Ain't seen enough of ya

♪ Philadelphia

♪ Fell in love with her, again ♪

- LANDON: We had a lot of stuff going on last night. [chuckling]

- Last night.

- I was so shocked.

We have two g*y guys in our house,

and two straight guys, I'm assuming. MJ's straight.

- If Landon comes out, I'm going to lose my damn mind.

I've been fooled once, and it can't happen again.

You know how hard it was for me to sit there,

and ask another--

- It was so funny to see the look on your face, though.

- MJ: Now that I know that Karamo is g*y,

he has totally changed my thoughts

on how I view g*y people forever.

I thought that most all g*y people were like Willie.

Just straight open, flamboyant.

- LANDON: No way, dude. - You know, proud of it.

- LANDON: Boy, you need to get out of Tennessee.

- MJ: That's pretty much the whole purpose

of me being here is to do that,

and it just happened to happen on the second night.

- ♪

- MJ: We gon' get it on in here in a minute,

it's Friday night, baby.

- SHAVONDA: Are you going to Shampoo?

- MJ: Is it a g*y club? - Yes, I'm gonna be honest.

- MJ: I don't understand. - MJ, please.

- SHAVONDA: I need MJ and Landon to come to Shampoo

because Mel can make a friend like that, and she'll be gone.

Sarah will make out with g*y guys,

and she'll be gone,

and then Willie and Karamo,

they're both g*y, so they don't want me.

I'm just worried about getting ditched.

- We'll talk about it, let me take a few shots.

Landon has already told some of the girls

that we would be going with them,

so I was just, like, "Screw it, let's go."

- ♪

- MJ: It feels weird trying to get, like, all together,

and then you're going to a g*y bar.

- MELANIE: Yeah, it's 'cuz it's, like, a fun event

to dress up to no matter what, you know?

- MJ: Well, I just know

that I'll be going somewhere after it or--

- LANDON: We're hoping during. [chuckling]

- MELANIE: Where are you going?

- Oh -- that did sound bad. [chuckling]

- ♪ Take me out!

- MJ: At Shampoo,

there's the biggest drag queen that I've ever seen.

- I'm gonna chase you around. - Oh!

- MJ: I go in, I have no idea what I'm about to witness.

and very attractive male bartenders

doing shots off their bellies

and stuff like that, I don't know.

I don't know. [chuckling]

lot of dancing going on.

like, your whole situation, you know?

- [background chatter]

- But I have.

- Not to me.

- My whole situation is, I have somebody back home.

- I know.

I respect the fact that MJ has something at home,

but Ashley is being unrealistic

about her expectations for her and MJ

Guys are guys, they have penises,

like, they think about sex,

like, every what? like, seconds?

You are with someone who expects or thinks of you,

and I'm not--I'm not gonna cross that line with you,

you know?

- You shouldn't. - What?

- And you shouldn't. - I want to.

- I know you want to, but you shouldn't.

- You want to, too, don't even lie.

If he really does wanna be serious in the relationship,

I'll try my hardest not to get him in trouble,

but I can't promise that I'm not gonna do something stupid

when I've been drinking too much,

that's all I have to say about that.

- SARAH: On the next, "Real World."

- SHAVONDA: There's this thing in the house

called sexual tension.

- SARAH: You were touching me all over this morning,

and I liked it.

- She's like, "Yeah, that a*s is mine."

- I really don't know what she's upset about.

- SARAH: Have a [bleep] thought in your head for a second.

Don't ask me for a number to give to another girl.
