17x13 - Opening Day

[bunniefuu]

Previously onThe Real World:

JANELLE: There will definitely be

a little bit of clashing.

I can intimidate people at times.

Hi, how can I help you today?

ZACH: We'’re doing a soft opening,

and then a bigger grand opening

the following weekend.

Kiss my [bleep] damn a*s.

JOSE: Paula is angry and drunk.

Get your act to- [bleep]-damn-gether.

You know what? I always get the "be quiet, Jose,"

but, you know what: I'’m going to say it the way it is.

You know what? Enough is enough.

I have to say what I feel

and stop being in the background.

This is the true story...

Gorgeous, man.

Of seven strangers...[ laughter ]

Picked to live in a house...

Work together and have their lives taped...

Whoa!

To find out what happens...[ gasping ]

When people stop being polite...

And start getting real.

ALL: The Real World: Key West.

As assistant manager,

I feel that I'’m not doing enough,

that I'’m being very unproductive,

and I really want to help out

with this grand opening and get things done.

Zach-- he has to realize that we are a team,

and we are here to work together.

JANELLE: What is, what has Jose

been doing as, um,

our assistant manager?He and I were going

to be working on the grand opening,

but I kind of took over that,

which I blame myself for, but...

ZACH: I feel like I'’m taking on too many tasks.

I'’m not delegating as well as I should be.

But we are going to be ready for our gala event on Wednesday

and our grand opening.

Can I ask you: if Jose is not really doing anything,

could you get him to do some marketing?

Yeah.

Like send him to all the businesses?

That'’s a great suggestion.Because I can'’t do that,

because I really need to do the hotels and concierges.

JANELLE: I'’ve been running crazy

marketing to all the local businesses.

It'’s very simple: just within a two-mile radius,

all the local businesses.

Just hit them up and give them fliers.

I don'’t really see his part in the, um,

the role of the assistant manager.

Jose is very young and impressionable,

and, two, he'’s only one year older than you are.

Not even-- I'’m going to be in December. Exactly.

I think he'’s insecure.

Really?Like, oh, my God.

All these personalities are so intense.

And then, Jose, mainly, "I'’m just a normal guy,"

and he doesn'’t know how to just be a normal guy.

No. He speaks like, like...

Here is Jose, and he just, like, goes over the surface.

You know what I mean?

Like, it has no meaning in it.

It'’s like, "I am happy."It'’s empty.

Right. Right.Really?

It makes you feel uncomfortable.

There'’s going to be that one day

where he'’s just going to let go and be Jose.

I want him to be mean. I don'’t want him to be funny.

I want him to be...I think it'’s going to be like Jose is the kind of person

that you don'’t want to see him mad,

because it'’ll end up taking him to a place he never wants to go.

JANELLE: I just never see you in action,

so what do you do?

JOSE: The first thing that comes out of Janelle'’s mouth is,

"So, Jose, what are you doing as assistant manager?"

You know, just very sarcastically.

All I'’m telling you is what, what I'’ve...

Number one, I'’ve asked you what you'’re doing.

I'’m, you know, out of the bubble,

it seems like everybody'’s taking things

upon themselves, and then,

I'’m getting looked at like

Jose isn'’t doing anything as assistant manager.

You'’re kind of real defensive over there.

ZACH: I am not getting involved.

I don'’t want to get on her bad side.

I just want to make sure I know what'’s going on,

because it seems like I don'’t.

I say the only way to know what'’s going on

as assistant manager is to ask people.

It'’s not that I have.

JANELLE: Jose sort of really doesn'’t know what to do,

so he kind of ends up just sort of dabbling

here and there in things.

And when you market, you have to focus.

And I'’m starting at the top.

And the top right now is hotel

and concierges, dermatologists.

JOSE: The way Janelle carries herself:

"Oh, I'’m better than everybody,"

and, you know, she thinks that she is a diva.

It would be beneficial to go within a two-mile radius

of our business,

and just go to other local businesses.

I did that yesterday.

I talked to a lot of businesses, um, spread the word about...

Make sure you give them our fliers. Absolutely.

We have to kind of realize where we'’re going,

because if we just saturate the businesses...

Well, now that that, now the two-mile radius

is your position,

so that'’s for you to control.Okay, well, good.

JOSE: She'’s just so rude and ridiculous.

That really gets to me and bugs me and angers me.

ZACH: Don'’t try to be so willy-nilly, Tyler.

I'’m nervous for them.

JANELLE: Is this your first time seeing them?

You haven'’t seen them yet? No.

TYLER: My friends are coming into town,

and I'’m excited to get a taste of home,

and have some good conversation and even better laughs.

Okay, so what do you want me to say?

"Can I help you?"

And then you come peering like, "Who are these?"

TYLER:Yeah, "Who the hell is at the door?"

And they'’ll be like, "We'’re here to see Tyler."

Be like, "Um, Tyler who?""Who?"

[knocking]

Hi.We'’re just here to see Tyler.

Who'’s Tyler?

Is he in here? Did he put you up to this?

I think you guys...ZACH: Close the door.

I think you guys got the wrong house!

[laughter]

[all chattering]

I'’m Janelle.

Hi! Nice to meet you.

JANELLE: It is very nice seeing Tyler with his friends.

I know it'’s probably very refreshing to him

to have some sort of, you know, comfort from home around him.

I'’m tall.

JOHN: Tyler'’s friends, they all seemreally cool.

You know, the guys seem awesome; the girls are sweethearts.

ALL: Hey!

Cheers to that.

It'’s all about Paula. Give me a kiss.

We like Paula.

They'’re offering me shots, and I was like, "No, sorry.

I don'’t do that," and they'’re like, "Come on."

Paula goes walnuts, so she needs some time away.

What brings this on? Like what instigates...

It'’s alcohol in the mix of company.

TYLER: She'’s very passive when she doesn'’t drink,

but when she drinks, it'’s like,

oh, [bleep], watch out.

That'’s fun, though.I grow horns.

Drink up, Paula!

All I have to say is I don'’t do that anymore.

PAULA: Dr. Covan tells me no more shots.

I haven'’t done a shot in two weeks.

Paula needs some, like, peaceful time.

We'’ll peace out, but we still love Paula.

To have, you know, my roommates

be happy for me and proud of me,

it makes it feel that much better.

[laughter]

ZACH: We'’re boozing it up.

Tyler'’s friends,

I think they'’re going to be feeling it pretty soon.

JANELLE: Oh, my God!

SVETLANA: Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

TYLER: We'’re acting like freshmen in college.

We get into a crazy,

devil-may-care food fight.

Get a Q-tip, kid, get a Q-tip.

JANELLE: Ew. I'’ve got ear fungus.

♪ Tonight we dance around the flame ♪

♪ Then we get to play spirit game ♪

♪ Spirit names we shout out loud ♪

♪ Shake the thunder from the spirit cloud ♪

♪ All the songbirds in the tree ♪

♪ Chant a tune to let the spirits free ♪

Pour some blood on his a*s-- you poured all this [bleep] on me!

John, you don'’t want to play with me

when it comes to this [bleep], cause I'’ll play right back.

♪ Do you want a banana? ♪

♪ Peel it down and go "mmm, mmm, mmm" ♪

♪ Do you want a banana? ♪

♪ This banana for you. ♪

TYLER: Johnny Bananas is getting scolded right now.

PAULA: I love Johnny Bananas.

I love him, too.He'’s an [bleep], but I love him.

He just makes bad choices

I make bad choices

inviting friends over.

PAULA: Aw!

JOSE: Don'’t say that.

No, is my friend helping me clean this up right now?

JOSE:Tyler, I'’m helping you.

Jose is a friend friend to help me, John.

Even though I'’ve only known him for...

TYLER: Yeah, exactly.

JOSE: Paula, you know what,

why don'’t [bleep] help out if you'’re going

to have such a big mouth about it?

...and you were outside.

PAULA: Jose is attacking me for no reason,

so I was like, "Whoa, where did that come from?"

And that'’s the real Jose.

These past weeks, I'’ve been kind of passive,

I guess you could say.

Not really saying much and letting a lot

slide off my shoulder, but not anymore.

You attacked me, and you expect me to stay shut?

But I'’m not bipolar!

Kiss my a*s!

Kiss my a*s!

Bah! What?!

I really feel like

I'’m gonna let everyone down

if I mess up with this opening on Saturday.

I'’m aware of all this. You'’ve told me

about times.

This exact thing?

[laughs]

I'’ve been talking out loud.

I know. You'’re nervous.

You have no need to be. It'’ll go off smoothly.

Our grand opening looks to be extremely absurd.

It'’ll be humorous in a good way.

JOSE: Are you taking control,

or no equipment available?

JAMES: Yeah, because they'’re both showing as dirty.

Okay, we'’ll clean them right now.

SVETLANA: Our booths aren'’t working.

They'’re broken.What?

Yeah, whenever you have any software errors...Mm-hmm.

...click on, uh, restart.

Okay.

And it'’ll restart that program.

Give that, like, seconds to refresh.Okay, awesome.

JOSE: I have to be a team player.

Make sure that I am doing my part

and not sitting back, relaxing, and doing the other...

let the others do the work.

There you go.

Is it working now?James, we got it, bro.

It'’s working now.Yeah.

Awesome. Thanks, man...Thanks to the Director of Operations.

Good job, Director.What do you mean...?

No, I ended up... I went to, um...

There were tons that I went to yesterday.

Okay.Just to give them more flyers.

I didn'’t go to any new ones.Okay.

And I talked to a couple concierges.

Um, you know, we'’ve been offering

free Mystic Tans to some of them.

You know, the ones that would like it.

And others are, like, "You know, I don'’t want to get a tan."

JANELLE: Jose goes out,

and he does a large portion of what, um, I'’m doing.

So I was talking to Zach and John about it, and, you know,

the ones that would like it.

And others are, "You know, I don'’t want to get a tan."

I'’m gonna ask Tasha and see what she thinks.

I'’m just gonna ask her about it.

There is a potential

for Mystic Tan to be a failure.

I don'’t want this to fail at all, and

I'’m gonna do whatever I need to do to make it succeed.

I'’m gonna k*ll Jose.Why? What he do?

Because he went to go give out [bleep] hotels,

and I had a game plan for the hotels.

If he would have asked me, "Janelle, what are you doing

as our marketer?," there would have been

no discrepancy between me and him

over going to hotels.

Yeah. Cheers.Oh!

Very nice.Cheers.

TYLER: Having my friends here reinforces

the feelings I have towards my current roommates.

Like, Jose was born with, like, nothing.

He was, like, from, like, Queens or whatever.

He'’s, like, the most down-to-earth.

TYLER:No, he'’s so down-to-earth and level-headed.

Him and I end up being, like, to get along the best in the house.

Yeah.Yeah...

He'’s so level-headed.

I like Jose a lot, because he'’s a deep person.

Him and I vent to each other about what'’s going on,

and we actually have fantastic conversations.

And he has a lot to say, and he has a lot of insight on life.

Janelle is...Do you have to clean up around here?

She thought P.R. meant personal relations.

Shut up. Shut up.

You'’re full of...

For, like, two days, she goes, "I'’m P.R.-- personal relations."

And I'’m, like...Ooh!

Is that, like, bedroom stuff or what?

TYLER: She goes,

"And I will be Director of Personal Relations."

I was, like... I was, like,

"It'’s P.R., like public relations, not personal..."

Janelle, as pretentious as she is sometimes,

she says really stupid things periodically.

Miss Janelle.

Hi, Janelle.

Just so you know, we'’re headed over to Fat Tuesday'’s.

Oh, I love...Have fun.

If you guys want to come meet us...

Well, we'’re probably going to head over

to, like, Lazy Getgo after, or somewhere to dance.

[engine revving]

[bell dinging]

That'’s what I do when the top goes on.

PAULA: He'’s looking at me.

I like...

JANELLE: It'’s a good day, and I think we'’re all pretty happy, but

we have to get home, so I'’m trying

to just get everyone to sort of pick up the pace

and, um, move it along.

Come on!

Do we have to be dramatic /?

She calls dramatic, and this yelling'’s dramatic.

I'’m not [bleep] dramatic.Well, what the hell!

No, I'’m not. No, [bleep], I'’m not.

If you think this is dramatic, I'’ll show you dramatic.

Janelle-- drama center.I know.

Instigator.I know.

Plain and simple-- instigator.You know what? I...

What the [bleep] are you guys doing? Come on!

Can you hold up and wait, and we'’ll walk at our pace?

And that'’s it, yo. I'’m over your [bleep].

Yo, stop, please. Please!Don'’t talk to me like that.

Who do you think you are? You think you [bleep]?

Stop.Don'’t talk to me like that.

I'’ll talk the way I want to talk.No, do not talk to me like that.

Janelle, don'’t push me...

I will push you if you talk to me like that.

Stop. I will talk to you the way I want to.

Jose, no [bleep] you won'’t.

You are nobody to me, so stop.No [bleep], you won'’t.

Because you sit around the house and [bleep], so stop.

Yes, I do, [bleep]. Don'’t [bleep] talk to me like that.

Tell her to get out of my face.

Don'’t [bleep] talk to me like that.Get her out of my face.

I'’m telling you, get out of my face.

Don'’t talk to me like that.Because I'’m tired of it.

Don'’t talk to me like that.You are nobody, so stop.

Don'’t talk to me like that.We are all equal in the house.

I never said we weren'’t equal.We'’re equal.

It'’s like the way you walk around the house with your nose

in the air does not mean anything. No!

[heavy rock drumbeat playing]

JOSE: You know what?

I think you'’re nobody.

I'’m not scared of you.

I will punch you in the face...

TYLER: What happened between Janelle and Jose got really nasty.

I have to hold Janelle back.

Anything could happen '’cause they are pissed.

That'’s all he has because he'’s really the person who'’s nobody.

b*tch, you'’re gonna regret that tomorrow.

Dr. Phil, please save me.

JANELLE: Do not try to force

any conversation between me and him on,

'’cause he has burnt a bridge.

So tomorrow, when is [bleep] a*s is apologizing,

you better believe you'’re gonna see

the [bleep] ugliest side of me

you'’ve ever [bleep] seen,

'’cause I haven'’t shown you stuck up yet.

TYLER: Janelle has this mentality

that she thinks she is basically Mariah Carey or Beyonce,

without the actual talent.

♪ '’Cause you'’re perfect ♪

♪Perfect♪

♪ You'’re perfect ♪♪Perfect♪

♪ You'’re perfect ♪

♪Perfect♪

It'’s all good, all right, Jose?

We'’re all buddies again.

Yeah, let'’s hug

and kiss and kumbaya.

I'’m not doing that bull [bleep].

♪ You'’re perfect! ♪

JOSE: Tonight, she was bossing people around.

"You guys need to come." Who do you think you are?

You'’re not my mom. I'’m grown.

You know, my mindframe is like, "You know what?

I'’m gonna fight fire with fire."

It'’s difficult when you'’re aggravated

and somebody is lashing out at you

and let it roll off your shoulder.

An older person or somebody more mature

would be like, "You know what?

It'’s cool," you know what I mean?

"You'’re drunk, you'’re not in the right state of mind,

I'’m going to walk away."

Just check yourself twice.

If you check yourself twice

and you decide that, like,

this is what you need to say, then say it.

If you check yourself and say, "You know what?

It'’s not worth it for me to get into this,"

don'’t get into it. That'’s it. You'’re right.

It'’s awesome to get an outsider'’s opinion

on what'’s going on and how to address a certain situation.

You know what I said to myself? Jose...

I'’m gonna say what I want to say.

What I believe in, I will say.

It'’s easier said than done, but I will try.

I don'’t how it got taken to the extent it did

with, um, Jose, but obviously he took it personally.

I feel like, you know, Jose'’s an insecure person.

Personally, if you were to ask me why did he do that,

I just feel like he'’s using his insecurities

as an escape goat for my security.

I'’m used to people being so quick to judge me

and say that I'’m stuck up

and I'’m this, that and the other, and that'’s not true.

If you wanted to get disrespectful with me

and you want to get on a disrespectful level,

there'’s gonna be consequences.

I'’m not gonna put up with people'’s disrespect.

You guys want tans, I'’m the man to see.

This grand opening is going

to say a lot about our business.

How you doing, bud? How'’s it going?

Free food. Lots. Subway.

JOHN: We have an entire room

full of bikinis, swimwear, active wear, Speedo,

and that'’s our main goal:

to have every client leave the store

having purchased something.

♪ I feel like feeling myself ♪

♪ Y'’all feel like feeling yourself ♪

♪ Wake up just feeling myself ♪

♪ Oh...! ♪

JOHN: Five dollars from each tan is going towards A*DS Help.

There are also donation boxes placed around the store

if you want to donate to A*DS Help.

This event is really important for me,

which is why I'’ve invested so much of my own time.

And if it all goes as planned, I'’ll be happy,

because we'’ve all come together as a house

and we'’re supporting one good cause,

not only for ourselves, but also for the community of Key West.

[marching band playing]

High school marching band is performing outside.

PAULA: They are standing out there in black pants and red shirts

sweating themselves to death

and I love them for it.

Good job. Good job. It'’s amazing, huh?

[cheering]

I just would love to thank Mystic Tan.

You guys have been so great, and thank you for raising

so much money today.

Thank you guys so, so much.

ZACH: This is really exciting for me to be able to help Doug

and help the community of Key West.

It does make me feel good about my work.

RICKY: We did $,.

So, Svetlana, how much did you make today?

Everybody made almost $.

Ricky is getting %, and each of the roommates

is getting one seventh of %.

Y'’all did a great job today.

The total earnings of $,,

I want to give that total earnings to everybody here.

Thanks, Dad! Thanks, Daddy.

JOHN: Ricky is nice enough to allow the seven of us

to keep % of the profit for today, which is huge

because, uh, we'’ve been hurting for some, uh, income.

PAULA: Janelle just doesn'’t put herself out there,

or doesn'’t bring herself down to that level,

and she'’ll just write people off rather than fight with them.

Which is almost kind of more hurtful.

JANELLE: Jose is not that secure of a person,

so for him to attack me isn'’t very surprising,

and it makes it a little easier to forgive him.

My approach was wrong.

I shouldn'’t have not cursed her out

and yell at her the way I did,

but you know what, it was my feelings,

and I said to myself I'’m gonna be true to myself

the rest of the time I'’m here.

PAULA: Fights aren'’t always bad

because without fights there'’d be no resolutions,

there'’d be no growing, there'’d be no makeups,

and nobody would understand anybody else.

But I'’m not here to change anybody.

I'’m here to be myself.

I will make every attempt to try to correct

what I'’ve done.

I don'’t know what'’s gonna happen

over the next couple weeks and maybe

we'’ll be able to sit down and have a mature conversation,

and, um, see what we can build on that.

I'’m gonna be here, I'’m gonna be myself the entire time.

Like it or lump it, that'’s it: this is me.

Hey, talk to me.

Something'’s going on.

Oh, you guys missed a good fight.

Between?Janelle and Jose.

About what?

I had to, like, jump in front of her

and she was, like, pushing me around.

There was all that big hair flying and...

That is some big hair.

Yeah, it was pretty good.

It was like a down home, like, ghetto fight.

See, if the two...

If those two ever fought, it would get nasty.

Somebody would, like, get out a switchblade

and break a on the side of the curb.

[both laughing]
