17x15 - The Burn Book

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on The Real World...

What's wrong?I want to go home.

What happened?

They all make me feel like I'm this horrible person.

Like I'm stupid.

I really hate it here.

He's really not doing well at all.

Is he on life support?No, not yet.

SVETLANA: Martin and his dad are extremely close.

It's a huge deal to me that his dad is sick.

Were you making out last night?

You didn't[ bleep] her, did you?

No, you didn't!Shut up!

I respect Crystal-- whatever we did

is a reflection of our relationship with each other

not a reflection of being a -year-old horny guy.

Wow. Wow, Zach.

That's crazy, dude.

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.

What's up?

Not much.What's your-- what are you drinking?

I have not met someone,

since my ex-girlfriend, that I've really

wanted to spend the time that I've been

spending with Crystal.

♪ You like her, you like her

♪ You love her

♪ But you can't keep your hands ♪

♪ Off the others, the others

♪ You like her, you like her, you love her ♪

♪ Though all you see among you is beautiful lovers... ♪

Jess, we should get her home.

Are you driving her?

Crystal, I'll call you tomorrow, okay, babe?

Kiss me.

Sweet dreams.

Take care of her, okay? All right.

ZACH: I-I see her being drunk

and all I'm concerned about is her getting home safely.

And I care about her and I don't want to hook up with her

when she's drunk and that's not fair to her

and it's not fair to us as a relationship.

So I told her she needs to go home,

Of course, she's mad at me, but that's okay, right?

It's so okay. Okay.

And it's so respectable, Zach.

I just wanted to say that to somebody

to make sure that I'm doing the right thing.

I want to have a relationship

where we are enjoying each other's company and our time.

Coming home at : in the morning

basically passed out together is not what I call a good time.

That's a drunken hookup, and I don't believe in that.

Zach, you're doing more than the right thing.

You're such a sweetheart, and she knows it.

And she knows that you're doing it for her.Okay.

But she's you know,

she's thinking about her hormones right now,

which are telling her

[ bleep] me, Zach, [ bleep] me.

ZACH: I really adore Crystal,

and I'm really bummed that, you know...

You're being a [ bleep].

I am not being a [ bleep] whatsoever.[ laughs]

TYLER: But it seems to me,

that you're stuck between

what you ought to do, and what you want to do.

Like, seriously, when I was turning the age of being

interested in girls and all that, like, I was the fat kid.

And all my friends that were girls were like my sisters.

And they hated guys that just used them,

and I'd always say, that I would never be like that.

TYLER: Is it just weird?

You don't... like, end up, being a controller?

Well, if I have control, and I get what I want,

which is, you know,

having a physical relationship with Crystal

without all of the emotional part,

enjoying the time, and going out,

I feel like I'm being a d*uche bag.

I'm doing exactly what I looked down upon

when I was, you know, that age.

I am glad I'm g*y.

Look at the messages.

I will, he's going to call back in a second.

Hello? What's up? Where are you?

How's your dad?

Not good.

What's that mean?

They think, they think it's the cancer.

[ deep sigh]

This is just...

Martin just told me that his dad is dying.

It is the cancer, and that he's living on a breathing tube.

As soon as they take it out, that's it.

[ sniffling]

Baby, don't cry.

Be strong for me.

I'm sorry.

So if you want to come,

I would come this weekend if that's possible.

I will.

What are you guys going to do?

Can't do anything.

No, but are you going to let him, I mean...

We're not going to do anything until at least Friday.

Because it's the holidays.

All right, I'm going to come this weekend.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Bye.Bye.

I love you, Martin.

PAULA: What are they going to do?

It just went all over his body and it was too late.

And Martin said

if they take the tube out,

he can't breathe, he's done.

Does his dad have a thing?

Like, do not prolong...

Oh, they don't know what they're going to do

until the holidays are over.

But I'm gonna go home this weekend...

and see him and stuff.

He said we've done everything we can,

there's nothing else we can do.

He's like the only one left in his family.

No one is going to be...

ANNOUNCER: Let's bring out the first two ladies

competing for the title

of Miss Hawaiian Tropic !

[ cheering]

We begin with Contestant Number One...

Hawaiian Tropic is doing this big event

with models, coming down and competing

for the title of Miss Hawaiian Tropic Key West.

Oh, my God!

[ indistinct shouting]

She's gorgeous.

Smack her a*s.

That's the best a*s I've seen yet tonight.

Miss Hawaiian Tropic !

Whoo!

All right, you ready? I'm just kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Hold on, your nipple is showing.

Like at an event like this,

I don't really want to look like a d*uche bag.

You met Crystal, she's a good girl,

but don't limit yourself to just her.

You already had the conversation with her.

She knows what to expect. You need to stop.I know.

ZACH: Crystal and I are not a couple in my eyes.

It has only been four months

since I basically have broken off contact

with my ex-girlfriend.

I'm not really ready to commit

to another girl.

Just do what you need to do,

have a good time.

Mazel tov. Mazel tov.

Let's have, uh... To bikinis.

Oh, yeah, I'm the manager.

Whoa, whoa.

And he's the assistant manager.

Okay, then you're the better one.

I'm talking to Natalie, and she's a really nice girl,

and I am really attracted to dark skin, dark hair.

It's beautiful. It's a very good combination.

And that's my Web site

so you guys can go look at all my hot pictures of myself.

ZACH: That's our pager number.

Cool. I got to ... because I'm a loser.

But I got to meet this wonderful man.

Oh, yeah, thank you. I hope that's...

I hope that's a consolation prize.

♪ Horny little women gettin' topless ♪

♪ Big body girls...

Look at them, look at them.

It's raining Hawaiian Tropic tonight

for the roommates.

Look at his face.

Look it, he's being innocent.

It's a lustful interaction,

so lustful it makes me want to vomit.

♪ And all the girls are saying me, me, me... ♪

I love Zach. I love Zach.

♪ And all the girls saying how they couldn't wait ♪

♪ To get in the car with me and take them home, home. ♪

ZACH: Tyler, are you ready?

I'm ready.

ZACH: Last night was one of those moments

that I honestly was like, "This is not my life."

TYLER: You and Hawaiian Tropic girl were awfully, uh,

warm with each other last night.Last night was just fun.

I was dancing with that girl

and was talking to her, and it was fun.

I just don't want to get involved.

TYLER: Zach is trying to be the nice guy, and Zach is so concerned

about what other people think of him

that he never actually does what he wants.

ZACH: I pick my battles.

Crystal's a great girl.

I want to hang out with her more.

You're telling me if that Hawaiian Tropic chick was like,

"Take me back, I want you to [ bleep] me."

I would have said no.Zach, you're lying.

I'm not lying.Come on.

I am not lying-- I had no intention last night at all

of taking this girl back to the house.

Well, you know what?

Hawaiian Tropic was looking at you.

She wanted it bad.

SVETLANA: Tickets are almost $.

MARTIN: Here, I just found you a flight

for bucks.

USA .

How much?

You know there's no USA in Key West.

Yeah, well, have to go to Fort Lauderdale.

And how am I going to get to Fort Lauderdale?

Take a bus.

Greyhound bus, bucks.

I'm going to sit on a Greyhound bus?

What's wrong with that?It-- there's a reason why

it's more expensive.

I'm cutting like four hours out of that day.

So what?

What do you mean, "So what?"

Martin!

What?You're just saying that

so I'll call my dad and have him get me tickets.

Did you forget who you're talking to?

Like, don't make the snob come out.

I am not sitting on a [ bleeping] bus.

[ chuckling]: Martin!

What?All right, good night.

I love you.

Bye.Bye.

She's going to be going home to visit Martin?

Yeah, because Martin's dad is in a tube now, basically.

So she's going back

to see Martin and see, you know, Martin's dad,

and try to be there for him.

But my question is, when does she go?

Like, how long does she stay?

Because that's the kind of situation, you go,

and you're, like, how do you leave?

You know, oh, okay, I'll leave, and I'll come back when he dies?

Like, you have to make a decision.

Like, do you go and do you stay?

Or do you go, and you just come back?

Yeah. No, I hear ya, dude.

Maybe Fitz going home is going to show her that, you know what?

Things out here aren't as bad as she thought they were.

Then again, maybe it might do the exact opposite.

Maybe Fitz might get home and not want to come back.

I don't think she knows what's best for her.

And, you know what?

In a way, this might be good for her

because maybe, when she gets back

and she sees him... I don't know.

I don't think she knows

if it's going to help, if it's going to hurt.

ZACH: I see her being the kind of person that,

going home, she would go, "Uh-uh. Send for my stuff."

She would realize how hard it is for her down here.

Not that her life is that much better back home,

but she'd go, "Oh, my God, my parents, my support..."

...a new female roommate, dude.

Don't even say that.

'Cause I don't want to feel good about that.

If Fitz came back, could we still keep the new one?

[ phone ringing]

Hello. Hi.Hey, baby. Hi.

I'm just... really quick, I have to tell you

that I'm only allowed to stay for the weekend,

and my dad's going to get me tickets.

Mm-hmm.So I'm going to come really early Friday morning,

and leave really late Monday night.

Mm-hmm.So me and you can, like, be together,

and I can be with your family and stuff like that.

I love you.

Love you more.Bye.

Oh, my God!

Allison-- my ex-girlfriend-- called my parents.

Wait. So what did she say?

I don't know. She didn't say.

"Guess who called me today? Guess."

She goes-- this is my mom:

"Guess who called me today?

Really, guess."

She's my first love, okay?

She is the only person, to this day,

that I've ever loved.

I believe that you're always going to have

a special place in your heart for your first love,

and I still have that place for Allison.

Do you care that she called your family?

Well, I want to know what's going on.

Whenever I talk to her, I never feel good.

Because... You care, though.

Well, because it's not the same

as it used to be, you know?

It's so hard. Like, how do you even...?

You can't... I call...

I want to hang out with Crystal. Aw...

This phone, right now,

is, like, my worst enemy. I need to get on it.

I want to stay away from it.

[ dialing phone ]

[ ringing]

This is Allison.

Leave me a message and I'll get back to you.

OPERATOR: Record your message after the tone.

[ ringing]

Hello.

What's your... what's your plan for the night?

I don't know. I got to get up so early.

I got to be at work at :.

Well, tomorrow, we're having a barbecue.

Do you want to come to the barbecue?

Yeah. We could do that.

Sound good?Yeah.

Have a good night, okay, babe?

Great. You, too.

All right. Bye.

[ dialing]

[ ringing]

Hello.Hello, Allison.

Who's this?It's Zach.

Oh. Hi.

"Oh. Hi." That's all I get?

Um... How you doing?

I'm good.Yeah?

Yeah, I'm good.

When you talk to the person,

it brings up a lot of memories, a lot of emotions.

So, when I'm talking to her, it's really

hard, and I hate it.

Between she and I, there's just too much pain.

What prompted you to call my house?

I called a couple weeks ago,

and went to your voice mail,

and I was worried, sort of, so I called your mom.

Thank you. Are you good though?

I mean, are you happy? Are you...?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm perfect.

Enjoy your time down there.

Thank you.

And, um... yeah.

You know, I miss her. I do.

And I miss the way things were,

but they can't ever be that way again,

and I realize that, and that's why it's so hard.

All right, Allie. Well, I'll talk to you later, okay?

Okay.And have a good night.

Sweet dreams, okay?

You, too. Bye.

Ooh, check the weather in Philly, Philly.

Tomorrow is the high, low is .

Sweet.

Are you all packed up?

You need to go to bed early, girl.Yeah, right.

I don't know what your deal is, yo.

You need to pack up shop.

I'm going home because Martin's dad

is very, very, very ill.

I'm not looking forward to it

because the trip is going to be a lot of tears.

I have only been able to imagine how sick his dad is.

I wish this wasn't happening.

There's nothing exciting about going home

and seeing somebody that's so ill.

Fitz!

Miss us. Yeah, right.

No, you will. I know I will.

And you know I will, too. That's the sick part about it.

Fitz, what's gonna happen if you go home

and you hate home and then you're going to be like...

I don't want to go home, I already hate home.

So what happens if you hate home and you hate here?

This happens: I sh**t myself in the mouth.

"I think Key West isn't as bad as I think it once was."

If that ever happens, then I have problems.

I hope Svetlana can give all of her love

and support to Martin and to his family

and she can be her new self down there

and want to return to Key West,

and keep doing this here, but I really feel that

it's going to be a lot harder than she thinks.

Have a safe trip, okay, baby?

Yep.

She has to do this on her own.

She has to make this decision.

SVETLANA: I have no idea what this weekend holds for me.

But I'm also hoping for a miracle in my head

that I'll get home and he'll get better.

Welcome to the house.

How's it going?Good, good.

How are ya?

Let's fire up the grill.

Hello.

How you doing?

All right, who wants a cheeseburger?

Are you excited about seeing your friends?

I am so excited.

Crystal's going back to her college

to visit old comrades

from Wisconsin.

Last night I got e-mail.

Guess who it was from.

My mom. Guess what it was about.

My ex-girlfriend called.

I haven't talked to my ex-girlfriend in three months.

Do I regret that we broke up

and that things were hard? No.

Am I mad at myself that I prolonged the situation

and made it really hard for both of us? Of course.

I now know what I'm looking for in a relationship,

and I know what I'm willing to do

and what I'm not willing to do.

That's so weird 'cause my ex-boyfriend called me, too.

No way! Is he in Wisconsin?

Are you going to see him?

Not like I plan on, like, intentionally seeing him,

but I know I will see him.

You want to see what everybody else is doing? Sure.

They're all down there.

No, there has to be hamburger buns left.

We didn't eat hamburgers, did we?

Did you have fun tonight?I did, I did.

[ grunts]

What's up?

Nothing's up.

Are you just, like, confused about your feelings

towards your ex, and, like,

how you don't want to care about him,

but you know that you're going to go see him soon

and all these positive emotions come back with him?

It's just that, I mean, I told William about you.

I don't want to do anything to jeopardize

anything that we have, if there is something,

you know what I'm saying?

I understand where she's coming from,

but at the same time

I have been nothing but honest to her about my feelings,

because I don't want to be a boyfriend.

The only thing I think I actually have a say in

is that I don't think that you should be choosing

between him and me.

You are, like... I don't know.

This conversation is tough.

I just want you to know that whatever you do,

and whatever happens is something that is up to you.

She understands the magnitude of this,

she understands the difficulty of our situation,

and we've talked about her future and my future,

and they don't coexist.

'Cause as long as you want to be my friend, that's...

in the very, very end, no matter what, that's what I'd rather have,

than nothing at all.

♪ Now we are done

♪ Now we are done

♪ I forgot who I was

♪ Now we are done

♪ We are done

All right.Stop thinking. Sleep.

♪ Now we are done

♪ I forgot who I was

♪ Now we are done

I'm actually okay with this happening.

The ball is in her court pretty much, dude.

Well, no. I honestly think that we shouldn't

do anything together anymore.

Really?Yeah.

Because the one thing I can do while I'm down here

is not get involved in something that could be

potentially serious like that, you know?

That's why, dude,

we need to stop [ bleep] with the locals

and just start hanging out with tourists.

[ laughing]

John-- he's loud,

he's obnoxious.

He's fun to be around.

If something was going to happen,

it would be with her.

Janelle, are you topless?

No, I'm not topless. Oh.

Johnny, don't you dare!

Now she is!
