17x18 - Hurricane Wilma

[bunniefuu]

Previously onThe Real World:

Let the bashing begin.

A burn book is our way of venting

about all the stupid things

that come out of Svetlana's mouth.

Oh, I'm an expert at burn books.

Anything that makes it

easier for us to make fun of her.

If she saw this book, I'd have a knife in my thigh.

[laughing]

[wind howling][indistinct shouting ]

SVETLANA: Zach's, like, "Don't go in the water.

You can get electrocuted."

I had no idea what's going on.

All you feel is the building's going to collapse.

TYLER: I just wish Paula would have told the roommates

Keith was coming.

There is nothing healthy about their relationship.

And now he's coming to visit?

We're going all the way to Orlando?

ZACH: We are vagabonds.

We don't know what happened in Key West.

We just need to get north and get away

from this destroyed part of Florida.

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

[wind howling ]

JOHN: The hurricane pretty much wiped out Fort Lauderdale,

so our only option was

to evacuate further north to Orlando.

Good day to drive, boys.

ZACH: We don't know the extent of the damage in Key West,

but we are hearing the rumors that there was water above cars,

right next to our house,

and % of the island was flooded.

So we know it's bad.

You all right, Fitz?

TYLER: I think Fitz

freaked out Martin this morning.

Phone call, :.

"I can't believe you weren't afraid for me."

The hotel was...SVETLANA: Stop making fun of me!

Fitz, please, can I tell him...? No!

Fitz, I'm sorry. I'm gonna tell anyway.

"I almost died.

We almost got electrocuted in the water."

SVETLANA: What did I say?To go into a dungeon...

SVETLANA: It was like a dungeon!

ZACH: "It was the scariest day of my life.

He didn't care."

It was scary to me. He didn't care.

There has been a couple off-the-wall things

that Fitz has said that I think are pretty funny.

"Is the Everglades a mall?" You know?

"My cat can say, 'Hello, Svetlana.'"

This is good material.

I think it's funny.

I can't believe she told him they almost died.

That's her embellishing. It's okay.

Just when someone calls you a liar sometimes,

you have to kind of go, "Okay."

We've gotten word now that power has been at least

partially restored in the Lower Keys.

And I think we're all anxious

to get the hell out of here and get home.

What is so scary is not knowing

what to expect, not knowing

what kind of damage we're going to see.

Look at these yards.

It's all furniture.

Oh, God.That sucks, man.

There was a ten-foot wave surge that hit all of the Lower Keys.

Geez.

Supposedly, some of the houses on our block

had their roofs taken off.

Their roof is missing.

I'm getting kind of nervous.

Oh, there's our fence.

PAULA: Oh, my gosh, look at our fence!

SVETLANA: Poor fence!

It's a little wet over there.

JOHN: Is it?

ZACH: Luckily, the water never rose

into the first floor where we live,

so we're very lucky to not have to deal

with flooding inside the house.

PAULA: Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Guys, come in the backyard!

Eww! JOSE: This is crazy.

This is a swamp, bro.

There's, like, serious sediment in there.

Keep John out of here when he drinks.

The Mystic Tan frame's still up to it.

Look at this. Hey, where's our Mystic Tan?

Yeah, let's go check out the Mystic Tan, dude.

KEITH: What's up?

Oh, nothing.

I just wanted to, like, see what was going on

so we could, like, make plans.

Why don't I meet you somewhere on Duvall Street?

That's fine.

Wear a costume,Keith.

Keith and Paula, I guess, need to spend

a little more quality time together.

Hopefully, this is a rebirthing stage

in their relationship.

Is everybody going out?

Do you want everybody to

or do you want just me and you to go?

I want just you and me.

All right, then that's what we'll do.

[starter chugs]

Yeah, dude, it's flooded, bro.

I bet there was water just rushing through here, dude.

Hurricane Wilma has destroyed our Mercury Milan,

and it has made life even more difficult

than it already was.

Is everybody going right now?

I think Paula and Fitz are staying.

JANELL: You know how supposedly when she made that comment

about almost dying and Martin didn't care?

It wasn't 'cause Martin didn't care about her dying.

It was because Martin knows that she was embellishing.

TYLER: You can't take anything she says seriously.

I believe % of what comes out of her mouth.

That' a lot.

Yeah, you're right. It's the Svetlana factor.

What she says is absolutely ridiculous half the time.

It's just crap.

We should actually think of...

kind of like a speedometer type, you know:

CPM-- Crap Per Minute.

You just kind of want to slap her and be, like, "Shut up!"

She's pulling about to right now.

♪ If someone puts you down, that's so high school ♪

♪ Someone talks behind your back ♪

♪ That's so high school

♪ Thinking you have to get them back ♪

♪ That's also high school...

Maybe we can get her to go home then.

[laughing]

I wouldn't mind.

♪ Doesn't mean we have to act like we're in high school. ♪

Last night, I came over

and I put that bicycle lock on here.

That's what we came to find out.

The door was open.

ZACH: When we get to Mystic Tan finally,

the smells are disgusting... from mildew

to sewage... it is just disgusting.

These are gone, man.

You guys, all these T-shirts you just sent us

are all soaking wet, dude.

Are they?

Can you imagine, dude?

This place, with that much water here, is ridiculous.

[phone ringing]

Hello.Ricky.

Hey, what's up, guys?

Well, no good news, bud.

What do you mean?

Well, there's about a foot of water came in the store.

Oh, my God.

Everything... I mean, the carpets...

it's absolutely soaked.

The waterline...

I mean, you can see it.

And it goes around the entire room.

The entire room.

Inside John's office, inside the bathroom,

all the way back.

The carpet is just done.

I mean, it smells awful.

It's horrible!

Not only that, there's debris all over inside the store.

It's everywhere.

I'm sorry. I'm devastated.

I'm just... I'm not prepared for this.

First thing I would do, of course,

is you're going to have to clean up the best you can.

Second, anything electrical that was in water,

keep it unplugged and let it dry out.

Do I make an insurance claim, as well?

Should we call in...?

We don't have flood insurance in Key West.

Oh, there's no flood insurance in Key West?

No.

ZACH: The official Fantasy Fest has been postponed,

but there's a lot of tourists, a lot of locals,

determined to not let some high water get in the way,

so me and the roommates, we're all going downtown

dressed in costume, ready to party.

Everything happens for a reason,

and it's almost like we had to be that bad

in order to be this good now.

He had to treat me the worst way

to know now that he's never going to do that again.

You swear? Are you lying?

How do you know when you love somebody?

You kind of just know.

Say, "I swear."

I swear.

It's, like, I couldn't imagine

feeling that way about anybody else.

I honestly think that he feels that way, too.

If you want to. That's up to you.

Can I ask you two a question?

Is it okay if Keith stops by and sees our house?

He's not staying over or anything.

I just want to ask him.

TYLER: Paula, to me, is

a gentle, innocent little thing that I want to look out for.

It's hard to watch her with this guy

that I know has abused her.

Don't be...

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I love opera. Whatever.

How you doing?

You might have a problem with our situation--

like, what I did, I have problems with what I did.

All I know is that Paula's not allowed to speak to you

except with friends and family,

but when you see all that's going on,

and her making progress,

we're kind of, like, well, I don't know

if I want my roommate hanging out with him

when you hear what's gone on between the two of you.

And I'm not saying you're not a nice guy,

'cause we all make mistakes in our life,

but do you know the way she acts?

Oh, yeah. Like, that Paula

that you're dealing with?

The one that gets really drunk and does...?

Freaks out?The messed up [bleep].

That's the one that I met.

For all you know, I'm the one that caused that Paula.

But that's the Paula that I inherited.

Don't get me wrong.

I take complete responsibility

that I did some [bleep] that nobody should ever do

in their entire life.

I've done counseling.

I've done everything right since then.

I'm glad you said this,

because I just need to know that, like,

she's in a good place, and that you're going

to help with that upward movement that she's making.

So, I appreciate this a lot. Cool.

PAULA: Keith's not necessarily welcomed in the house,

but accepted.

It's comforting, and it takes

a little worry off my shoulders.

♪ Know that I won't hurt you

♪ Now that I see through you

♪ Baby, together, we can make it and fly ♪

♪ And we can start right now

♪ We can start right now...

PAULA: I just want him to be, like...

I want to, you know, have babies and, you know, get married.

It's not just, like, he wants to have,

like, a nice relationship.

He wants to have a nice life together.

We went through, like, hell, and

we made it.

SVETLANA: I noticed that Tyler left his bag.

The book was there, so I opened it,

thinking I was going to find a few quotes about me, but

it's, like, four or five pages of the stories that I've told

about my life that they think are lies.

John has ridiculous stors.

Everybody believes him.

I have never lied about anything.

I have, maybe, embellished. I've never fabricated.

What is his problem?

He likes to make other people look stupid.

Why, though?

'Cause he feels insecure about himself.

But why doesn't anybody say that to him?

Why does everybody shut their mouth

and let him make fun of them?

'Cause he already makes himself look like an idiot.

Just let you know

that maybe you shouldn't

be talking to Janelle as openly as you thought,

'cause she'll always run back to Tyler.

I want to burn it.

Are we allowed to burn it?

You're allowed to do whatever you want.

[phone ringing]

Hello.Hi, Mommy.

Hi... [Russian].How are you?

I'm good. You?

I just had a rough day, that's all.

Everything's fine now.

What do you mean, rough day?

No, it's fine. Everything's good. I just, uh...

I usually don't come to my mom and talk to her about things

'cause I know that she gets very dramatic.

These two people I told you about--

The American [Russian], the other [Russian],

is just, like, they're making fun of me and all.

All they say is that I lie about everything.

And, Mom, you know I don't lie about stuff.

I'm sure that they've been abused many times in their lives

'cause usually something bad happens in their life,

'cause they have no life.

I know. But, Mama, it's, like, I'm sitting here...

They're two losers.

But, Mom, how would you feel

if two people devoted all their time to making fun of you?

I would take a walk to the nuthouse.

That's the way I would feel.

That's... I'm sorry, [Russian].

You should treat them like a lowlife,

'cause you're so sorry for them.

Not cry. Come on. Two more. I'm sorry. Two more.

Her mother doesn't know anything about me,

Janelle, or the rest of the roommates.

Where does this woman come off saying these things about me?

Hey, does your mom want to talk to one of those lowlifes?

Tyler, get out of here.

No. If you're going to talk [bleep], talk...

I found your book, Tyler.

It made me upset.

I'm talking to my mom about it.

Hi, Mrs. Fitzsimmons.

I actually have a lot of stuff going on right now.

Get out of my face!

Before you make judgments,

you should get the full story

and listen to the lies that your daughter tells.

I don't tell lies.

Tyler, get out!

I'm having a conversation with my mother.

I can hear you in the computer room--

I'm trying to have dinner--

and you're saying that we spend all of our life

devoted to making fun of you?

No. I'm trying to talk to my mother.

Get out. Get away from me.

Go write about it.

Bye, Mrs. Fitzsimmons!

It was nice talking to a lowlife.

...and I can't do anything about it.

It's time for w*r, b*tch.

I'm not smart enough to fight against him--

the things he says to me-- because I'm not evil like that.

ZACH: What happened?

[ sniffling]: I found Tyler's book,

and my mom, of course, she's gonna be a mother,

and she's like trying to calm me down,

and he comes out and starts yelling at my mother.

Who does he thinkhe is?

Tyler has hurt me so bad

and treated me like crap so much,

that there's no way I could ever be his friend, ever.

[sobbing]

He just hates me for everything I am.

He doesn't hate you.

He just gets pleasure

out of making you feel like [bleep].

When Tyler's wrath comes through,

he can really make you feel horrible.

He's got ten pages in the book about me.

Who cares?I read the whole thing.

It's so frustrating.

You know the book existed. We know he laughed...

Hey, Fitz.What?

Can I ask you a question?

I just want to know, when you were on the phone,

did you say anything negative about me?

All I said was you guys had a book,

and it just wasn't nice...

Okay, because I heard something

about me being a lowlife.

My mom went off; she was being a mother.

She just felt really that I was being attacked

by these two people.

It's not just Tyler; it certainly isn't just me.

It's everybody.Well, good, I don't...

Why? Because people feel that you embellish on things.

That you fabricate.

I embellish sometimes, only when I tell stories.

I just wouldn't wish this situation

upon anybody in this house.

That's how much it sucks.

Well, you've got to also think,

why isn't anyone else in this situation and you are.

Janelle basically makes me feel like everybody in this house

doesn't like me.You can handle me

in small doses.

JANELLE: Well, just think about that.

We're around each other all the time,

and not everybody always wants to hear something from you.

I've tried to change,

and I've done so much so far

that if people still feel that way, then, I mean,

I just... sorry.

I have to pee.

Thank you for that, Janelle.

Well, I just don't want...No, I... Thanks.

Did you read this?Read what?

What Tyler put on the door.

Oh, I heard about it.

ZACH: To read the note that Tyler had left for Svetlana,

on the door, almost made me vomit.

It is so rude.

To have that on a door--

which I'm glad I found first... Oh, you did?

Totally not fair.

Listen to yourself. Do you know anything

about any other person's side of the story?

I know how you treat her.

I know how you treat me sometimes.

And all I know is what you wrote

on that piece of paper

and put on that door is inappropriate.

Who do you think you are...

to walk all over someone's life?

You don't know what's been going on.

She lies and manipulates and connives.

Svetlana's like that bad puppy that pees on the carpet.

She needs to be punished, and that's why I punished her.

What she was doing

in my book was inappropriate,

and you know what, I reacted the way I did.

And I will stand up to that.

All I know, is I expect more out of my friends

in terms of actions.

To see that on the wall, on the door...

I think it's hilarious.

ZACH: Tyler can convince anybody of anything.

But you are years old.

She is a -year-old child,

who we all know is immature and young

and has been spoiled her whole life.

If she saw that note the way it was written...

I love seeing her react like that.

I can't handle that, man.

She's a little baby wh*re,

and she deserves every tear

that she's crying.

PAULA: I love her.

She's just so funny.

And when she's just being Fitz, it's great.

I feel like Tyler gets personal pleasure

out of making her life miserable.

Yeah.And he doesn't hate her.

He doesn't.

He just thinks she's an idiot.

Well, he thinks she's lived a very privileged life,

and he wants to correct her.

It's not his right to say, "Your life plan is stupid."

If you just look at Fitz,

she's wealthy, beautiful, has really nice things,

and Tyler is probably envious of her.

She's like, "What? I'm not lying."

I was like, "I know, but for Tyler,

you're living this life that doesn't happen for most people."

Well, that's true.

JOSE: All right, this is the deal.

Ricky called: at : he has

a carpet guy coming to pick up all the carpet,

and then at : p.m.,

he has that professional cleaning crew coming in

to clean up the whole mess.

[whistles]

So that's all taken care of.

And then at : p.m., he wants us all there.

He's going to make a phone call

and say what's going on next.

Wow, that is very nice of him.Yeah.

The hardest part is going to be cleaning the mess

under the carpet, and we have

a professional crew that's going to do that.That's awesome.

[phone ringing]

Is the volume all the way up?Yeah.

Hello.Hi, Ricky.

Hey.

We are calling to, uh, let you know, first off,

that the place is getting cleaned up.

And we would like to know

what our next plan of action is.

Okay, I was going to call you, but great,

you called me.Yeah, we're anxious.

I don't blame you.

I'd assumed you would be at this point.

Well, I've got a few things to tell you.Okay.

Those two devastating hurricanes have set us back.

And, um, they've actually destroyed

everything we tried to accomplish.

I've seen that no matter what has happened,

that each of y'all has the determination to succeed.

And I just want to say guys that that means a lot to me.

So in my opinion, that's the good news,

and I appreciate that.

This leads up to the final bad news.

Uh... we're going to have to close down

Mystic Tan's Sunless Studio.[gasps]

Oh, my God.

What?

Next onThe Real World:

PAULA: Spain! Spain! Spain! Spain!

ZACH: You know what this reminds me of?Romeo and Juliet.

PAULA: There will be plenty of more times

to see Johnny have sex with girls.

I'm on computer.You are.

You never, ever, ever tell me

how you're feeling in your emotions.

Fitz is areallyyounger version of myself.

SVETLANA: It just makes me so upset.

Why is it necessary to talk about me? Just why?

Then I get super-duper rambunctious, dude,

and I just want to like, jump around...

No, no, no, love. You get really loved.

Okay, that's what it is.You get really lovey.

That's what it is-- I get affectionate,

then I get rambunctious.Then you get rambunctious.

'Cause affectionate makes you crazy.Yeah.

Then after the rambunctiousness,

I think you start going downhill from there.

I never really... I'm never an unhappy drunk.

Then I just start going... uh...

I just don't want to be drunk anymore.

JOSE: Who's violent drunk in this house?

Paula. Paula. Paula.
