02x02 - To a New Beginning...

[bunniefuu]

[male narrator] Previously on "The Real World.."

[Dominic] I didn't know who I was gonna meet.

I'm Dominic.

- Pleased to meet you, Tami. - Nice to meet you.

We're driving across country, that's something

I never thought I would do.

What's up!

[Dominic] Jon being the third party

was a little shocked.

He opened the door going

"Yee-ha, come on in!"

I could kinda tell they weren't expecting

a black girl to walk through the door.

I mean, I got a lot of double takes.

If my son got in a motorhome

with two people like y'all and drove off--

[laughing]

I might be crying, too.

[Dominic] This is the true story.

♪ True story ♪♪

[Tami] Of seven strangers.

[Jon] Picked to live in a house.

[Beth] And have their lives taped.

[Aaron] To find out what happens..

[Irene] When people stop being polite..

[David] And start getting real.

[male narrator] "The Real World," California.

[instrumental music]

They ordered an appetizer plate

and it came with, like, rattle snake, uh, meat ba*ls.

I mean, it came with everything.

I don't know, it tastes awfully good to me, whatever it is.

They kinda stuck with the oysters.

They just kept eating the oysters

'cause they thought they were oysters.

- So, how's your meal? - This is so good.

Did you try our delicious cow fries there?

Cow fries?

He told us they were oysters.

I said they didn't taste like oysters at all.

They were deep-fried something.

- Brains? - No, oh, no.

[Dominic] 'No, the other end.'

'Try the sauces. Go with the sauce.'

[Tami] 'Try the sauce.'

'Chew it!'

- 'Pretty good, huh?' - What is it?

[Dominic] And then Mel explained to him

they were bull's ba*ls.

They chop the ba*ls off bulls

and they deep-fried 'em.

Eww!

[Tami laughing]

Are you kiddin' me?

[cows mooing]

[instrumental music]

[Tami] Dominic went out the night before the ski trip

and, uh, he met this guy..

Yeah, one thing led to another, I bought him a beer.

[Jon] Ted his friend knows the people that own the ski place

and skiing sounded fun

so I said, "Sure," you know, "No problem."

Ahh!

[Tami] Dominic went out drinking again

and he met two girls and

decided that they should take us to Sedona.

I guess I had a couple of c*ck

and it sounded like a real good idea.

But it could be really cool if you just came to Vegas with us.

She probably thought I was some kind of pervert in a bar

with funny hair.

[female #] 'Off, how about that?'

[instrumental music]

So, I didn't wake up until :.

Tami woke me up for breakfast.

She called the room, I went down.

I'd actually kinda forgotten about it

and then all of a sudden it hit my head

I've got to tell them.

On the way to Vegas there's this place call Sedona

which is a very spiritual place.

'Very famous.'

Sedona's a place we had not planned on stopping

or planned on going to.

So, it was, it was kind of out of the way

and, and a big surprise to me.

I mean, I personally..

...am not feeling this whole Sedona thing

but if the majority rules--

No, no, no.

The difference between, the difference between

the skiing thing was you woke up, you said

"Do you wanna to go skiing

'cause I will call the person and confirm it."

Well, you checked with us first.

You see last night you said, "Let's go to Sedona!"

[Jon] Well, she just didn't like the fact that

if he's doing this on the road trip

I think her main point is

what's he going to do when we move into the loft?

Is he going to bring in every stray he meets and, you know..

"Hey, this is our new roommate."

[dog barking]

[Dominic] Sinea and her friend showed up and they were like

"Oh, I thought we were going to Sedona."

- My roommates nixed Sedona. - Nah-uh.

- They won't go. - Why?

I don't know, they just want to go straight to Vegas

'and they were kinda pissed at me.'

They're coming out right now, let me get 'em.

So, I'm apologizing to everyone, I-I actually felt bad

I didn't need to piss off two people

I'm going to be living with for six months.

- See you later. - Okay.

[female #] 'Bye.'

Tami just remarked in

rather colorful language

you know, some good descriptive words

that I better not do this kind of thing when we get to Venice.

[Tami] 'I don't want to see you bringing'

'every damn stray person you meet at a bar'

'back to that loft.'

[Dominic] 'Okay, no problem.'

You know, I got a bit of a tongue lashing over it

and I apologized

but, no, I was, I, I really felt bad myself

because I'd screwed up.

[guitar music]

I-I don't know, you know, hey, if they come out

to bars with me and maybe I wouldn't talk to

strangers and say the [bleep].

"Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone."

It's said in the Bible.

You don't believe in the Bible.

[Dominic] 'I never said that.'

You do believe in the Bible?

I never said that either, but I do believe in the Bible.

[Jon] 'You believe in all of it?'

I didn't say all of it

I mean, that's.. He's putting words in my mouth now, Tami.

[Jon] 'What, what parts do you believe in?'

The ones I want to.

See that's.. You can't do that.

'The whole water into wine's real good.'

[Dominic chuckles]

'What's your feeling, Tami'

'on the Muslim religion?'

- You're Muslim? - Yeah.

Are you serious?

We're just three different personalities.

I mean, Tami's a Muslim.

So, what is that exactly? I'm not, I'm not familiar with that.

Jon is white, real, real white.

I would consider the Muslim religion

to be more like a philosophy.

I don't think we could be more different

unless I had antlers sticking out of my head or something.

[Tami] I was brought up as a Muslim.

Jon thinks that is... a terrible religion.

That Jesus is the only God.

[Jon] I'm a country boy from Kentucky

and she's a black girl from LA.

I'm supposed to be prejudiced against her

and I think it bothers her that I'm not.

And she's trying to create that.

[Tami] You're going to heaven, you pray everyday.

I'm not going to heaven because I pray everyday.

It's a joke, idiot, it was from a movie.

- 'What movie?' - Damn.

I just asked you a simple question, what movie it was.

[Dominic] 'Let's not, come on.'

A black movie... with black actors.

Where do you get that, I've never made

a single prejudiced comment to you.

Never.

It's a black movie or a white movie, they're..

A movie's a movie.

I don't know, uh, all of a sudden, Jon's a bigot.

I don't know where that came from at all.

You know, she's very moody

and I think that she just can't help herself

but, I mean, if this is gonna continue

am I just supposed to take it?

I'm basically fed up..

...with being on the road and with being with them.

I wanted to see some other people.

[instrumental music]

Surely that's not Vegas ahead, is it?

That's Vegas.

- Jon? - 'Yeah.'

You're on the damn things again.

[Tami] 'Are you spacing out?'

Jon doesn't listen to directions.

I can't do left now.

Then he talks, then he misses

what you told him to do.

But it said no left turn.

So that's why we kept getting lost.

You know...uh, I mean, don't get me wrong.

We don't want anymore, right?

I'm gonna drive tomorrow.

You know, we've gotten this far...alive.

[rock music]

Las Vegas was total confusion.

I didn't feel like I belonged there.

To tell you the truth, I was, I was

uncomfortable the whole time.

Hello, dad, we're sitting in downtown Las Vegas.

No, just Tami and Dominic, right now.

We're going to meet the others

Saturday at two o'clock, I think.

LA...yeah.

I don't know, I think today he made the statement

he's having abadhair day.

But, um, you know..

I-I can't really tell the difference, so..

Mm-hmm, okay, I love you, bye.

[instrumental music]

[Dominic] All along the streets of Vegas

they openly hand out leaflets for brothels.

It-it's legalized prostitution here in Nevada

for like, bucks.

And this Swedish guy, just comes up to me

out of nowhere and says, "Don't waste your money."

You don't get any sex for $.

I thought it was sex that you get.

"Dominant, but nice, hard, but soft."

[Jon] Here we were talking to this guy

who-who-who'd gotten this prost*tute the night before

and I was like, "What in the world am I doing here?"

Dominic, let's just go.

[saxophone music]

I'm moving into a new place for six months and

gotta hope the first week with these four strangers

ain't as turbulent as this week on the road

but we ain't gonna be in a Winnebago eight hours a day.

Jon, you know, someone told us that Goldie is starting up

a Jon Brennan fan club, did you know that?

Actually, she mentioned something about it.

- I find it pretty funny. - You should.

Just 'cause you have a couple of fans out of Owensboro

who've been coming to see you two weeks

every two weeks for the past two years

doesn't mean anything as far as the rest of world is concerned.

'That boring little hick town.'

Oh, you're just mad 'cause we don't allow

trash like you in our town. You just keep your butt..

They have trash like you there.

I laughed it off 'cause, it did bother me at first

and then as I thought about it, at first I was very sad

that he would say something like that to me

and then I was angry.

And as far as your trash comment

you'd have felt pretty funny

if I'd have socked your a*s in the head.

If you're brave enough to do it

then you're brave enough to get hit right back.

'I mean, it just really bothers me that--'

Who cares, Jon, you don't call somebody trash.

- I didn't call you trash. - Yes, you did!

I've dealt with Jon and his attitude

for the past ten days.

I'm going to be a country singer one day

whether you like it or not

I wish you luck.

[Jon imitating Tami] 'So I hear Goldie's got a fan club for ya.'

[Tami] I didn't say anything about the fan club.

So what the hell are you talking about?

I didn't bring up the fan club.

[Tami] If Dominic instigated the conversation

Dominic did not make Jon call me trash.

And that's the thing that I'm pissed off about.

That is the most degrading thing

anyone could call...anyone else.

That, I mean, people think things subconsciously

and it's by accident that they say them.

So, that's probably what he's been thinking the entire trip.

Can you stop for a minute?

[instrumental music]

[Jon] LA Is really spread out.

I don't know, all I see for about LA

is what you see on TV and it's usually

the cops beating up on people.

[g*n shot fired]

But it's also big vacation spot

so I thought it'd be a lot of fun too.

- Should I go in first? - Yes, no cigs.

- Oh, this is cool. - I can deal with this.

Walking into the door, I was totally amazed.

I could have never imagined

that this is what the house would be like.

- Let me see my fridge. - 'Hey, there's a..'

It was like the greatest feeling coming in

knowing that I would be here.

[Dominic] 'Oh, very nice.'

Where are the bedrooms?

I'd say upstairs.

- Dominic? - Look at this.

No way, get out!

[Dominic] We ran around the house like

little kids do on Christmas morning looking for toys.

And we were there about minutes

and Aaron came in.

- Hey, man. - Hi.

How you doing, Aaron, nice to meet you.

- 'Tami.' - Nice to meet you.

- Jon. - Nice to meet you.

And we were walking out the door when Aaron came in

and, God bless him, we almost ignored him.

We're just going to grab our bags real quick, okay.

Yeah, I need, I got some more stuff but--

[Dominic] You know, we ran out to get our bags

and poor Aaron was left, he just sort of walked in..

I don't know what he must have thought.

[chuckles] The first person I saw was..

...was Dom.

And then I saw, uh, Jon.

I knew for sure this was obviously

the people I was living with.

- Hey, Dominic. - Yeah?

You want to come give me pool lessons?

They're both, they're both from LA.

'They flew to Nashville, picked me up'

'and we drove a motorhome, we've been driving.'

'We hate each other right now.'

I'm really good at moving the stick, though.

I bet you are, Tami.

[laughs]

I think that living in this house with six other people

is going to k*ll my sex life.

[instrumental music]

What's up? I'm David.

- I'm Jon, David. - I'm Dominic, man.

[Dominic] 'Welcome, dude.'

You're from Kentucky right?

D.C.

[Jon] 'D.C.? Alright.'

David seems like a-a cool person.

[David] Tami's a nice girl.

She has a nice personality.

She has b-beautiful eyes

you know, she's a smart girl.

[Tami] He seems like a person that I'll be able to talk to

about my guy problems.

And he can talk to me about his girl problems

like a brother and sister type relationship.

She's got a cat.

[Jon] 'Cat and dog fight, yes!'

Yeah, there better not be a big dog up there.

He's got like, a puppy German shepherd.

- How you doing? - Hi.

- 'Hi.' - My name's Beth.

Beth and she was carrying a cat.

I can't stand cats.

Yeah, he's got claws, but..

[Beth] I was one of the last people to show up.

They were all having a good time at the pool table

and a couple of people didn't seem very happy about the cat.

[Dominic] I have this dog named George.

I leave him with my brother, he means a lot to me.

Me and kitty just don't see eye to eye.

Hey, hang out on a different floor.

- Hi. - Hi.

- How you doing? - 'Hello.'

Fine. Hi, my name's Irene.

- My name's Jon. - Hi, Jon.

- 'Aaron.' - Aaron?

- Aaron, yeah. - Aaron, nice to meet you.

Irene, uh, she's a, but she's this gentle little, little woman

and it will be interesting.

That's Tim, my fiance.

Tim.

[Irene] When I first came to the house Tim came with me.

I wanted him to meet the people

that I was going to be living with.

My brother has a fiance, that's an interesting concept.

[Irene] What Tim had to say about everyone was

I think he was jealous of Aaron.

Because he's blond-haired, blue-eyed guy.

Tim knows that I like blond-haired guys.

[Dominic] Highlights of this house?

The Jacuzzi is great, the pool table is great.

There is no rules attached to confessional.

Use it as a soap box, to sound off.

Whatever you want to do.

I got to go now, bye.

Ah, ah! Ohh-h*-h*!

Holy [bleep], Jon.

[laughing]

I knocked the picture off the wall.

[cat purring]

[Irene] The decision of getting the bedroom that we all had

was already made way before I got here, seems like.

I'm going to take this, I'm going to take this

little area right here.

- Which leaves you all that. - Yeah.

Well, that sounds cool to me.

- Is that very cool? - That's cool.

That sounds good.

Beth decided what bed she wanted.

And Tami decided and I had no choice

but to take the last bed.

Is that okay with you?

Hey, I told you, it's cool.

Are you sure? Okay.

[instrumental music]

How do you want to divide this up in here?

I don't know.

Aaron says, um, "Hey, you want to room with me?"

I says, "This sounds cool."

So we did.

Okay, I'll take this whole side, right here.

Okay, why don't you take it all and I just have like..
