The real world...
I have been waiting for
Fantasy fest for a long time.
It's like mardi gras.
This float has really gotten
Me excited.
We need somebody to help
Paint the name across the float.
We're gonna have to be
Sort of quick, 'cause we need to
Make sure we're ready for
Tonight too.
I knew from the beginning
That this was gonna be a project
That I was gonna be doing
The majority of the work on.
I mean, it's just stupid, dude.
Like, how hard is it to show up
At
We are leaving the staging area
Now and missing four people.
Now and missing four people. Pick up the pace, b*tches!
Pick up the pace, b*tches!
This is the true story...
Gorgeous, man.
Of seven strangers...
[Laughs]
Picked to live in a house...
Work together and have
Their lives taped.
Whoa!
Find out what happens...
[Gasps]
When people stop
Being polite...
And start getting real.
All:the real world:
All:the real world: key west.
Key west.
Excuse me.
Oh, we're almost there.
You can't start without us!
Maybe they'll be waiting for
Us down the street.
Us down the street. I bet they are.
I bet they are.
Hey!
Get on, get on.
Get on, get on.
Here, go hop the front.
I'm really pissed off, but
You know what?
I don't want to ruin tonight.
I really don't.
This means a lot to me.
I'm gonna keep it in
And really try to enjoy
This parade.
Whoa!
Everybody ready?

Yeah!
Yeah! Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Fantasy fest is crowded.
It is wall-to-wall people,
Alcohol, nudity.
It is one giant party.
Boobies!
We need to see some boobies.
There we go!
Hey!
There are thousands of people
Lining the streets.
There's boobs everywhere.
It's actually kind of exciting.
Fairy dust!
Fairy dust! [Cheers and applause]

Us taking part in this
Parade is really establishing us
As key westers.
The fact that we are a business
Taking part in this tradition
Really confirms the fact that
We have made a footprint
In this town.
It's a real good feeling.

We're meeting ricky,
You know, at mystic tan at :.
Yup.
When are you gonna
Start packing?
Once I get back.
Today's the day that I've
Dreaded, in a way, and that's
Putting the last chapter
On mystic tan.
It's almost, in a way, like
Losing a family member, because,
I mean, we all have so much
Invested in this place.
Okay, last day of
The business venture--
We all know that.
Y'all have ran this business
On your own.
My guidance was available,
But you didn't ask.
You did this on your own,
And that's good.
No start-up in any market would
Do well that had multiple
Hurricanes in a short amount
Of time.
The whole business here was
Dependent on tourism, and when
You don't have it, you have
No revenue.
And it's nobody's fault here.
I feel like every time we
Started getting our heads above
Water, we get knocked down,
But the fact that every time
We did--we got right back up
I think really says a lot about
The character and the resolve
Of the seven of us.
I mean, nobody here had to
Show up every day.
You did, and you tried,
And it was my brand,
[Voices breaks] and--
Aw, ricky.
Okay, well, the next part
Does hurt me.
Um, it's because of this.
How much do you think's
In the bank?
$,.
I was hoping that you would
Tell me more than that.
It upsets me so much that
I've changed it.
[Laughs]
Don't even say that.
I had to call my office,
And I said, "I need a large
Amount of money to give to
Seven individuals who stood
Behind your brand.
If I asked you to write another
Set of checks out, would you
Do it for me?"
Yeah.
Do you want to know how much
The amount is?
$, Divided by
Is $,.
[Squeals]
Oh, my god.
Thank you!
[All cheering]
Are you serious?
Mystic tan on demand.
All: mystic tan on demand.
Are you kidding me, ricky?
Thank you so much.
Four months of working at
Minimum wage or less has now
Definitely been worth it with
This final chapter at
Mystic tan.
Thank you, ricky, for
Everything, bud.
Thank you so much.
