Kim's Convenience (2016) s01e13 Episode Script

1 No, it's called the East Sea.
- It's the Sea of Japan.
- Japan pay atlas to say that.
So Japan paid every atlas in the entire world? Korea used to be spell C-O-R-E-A.
Then Japan tell England, Korea is spell with a 'K' so that Korea come after Japan in the English dictionary.
That's your most messed up conspiracy theory yet.
Not conspiracy theory, conspiracy truth.
Hey, you guys got those, uh, little batteries for watches? Yeah.
I just want one.
They come in two.
(SIGHS) That's how they get you.
It's a conspiracy.
Conspiracy? They sell you two watch batteries, but you only got one watch.
Twelve wieners, eight buns.
I know.
This is what I talking! Printer's cheap but the ink will kill you.
Phone is free but the plan will get you.
All those drinks in your fridge? Owned by one company.
And that company owns all the other companies.
But it doesn't matter because companies are an illusion.
So we're all looking over here, when we should be looking over here.
Which is where the reptilian aliens are coming from when they return to harvest the new world order.
Five dollar.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING) - Mrs.
Kim.
- Mrs.
Park.
I didn't know you were working here.
Ah, just helping with the church bookkeeping.
Oh, I understand.
Times are tough.
The church can't afford competent professionals.
Mrs.
Park, are you here for marriage counselling? Uh, no, that's on Thursday.
I mean Thursday is when I do marriage counselling.
And I may or may not see either of you, then.
But I will see you on Thursday.
Here's our sheet music.
The Sound of Music.
Oh, I'm sure you'll be the hit of the festival.
(LAUGHS) You probably say that to all the families.
I do.
MRS.
PARK: Keep up the good work, Mrs.
Kim.
UMMA: So, uh, you know my family sing too.
Oh, well why didn't you say something? I say now.
We win the Church Family Singing Contest 2003.
My most favourite memory.
Whole family all together in front of church hold hands.
- That sounds beautiful.
- Yeah.
Even we beat Mrs.
Park family.
And you know what they singing? Sound of the Music.
Always a Sound of the Music.
Well, should I pencil in the Kim family for the festival? Yes.
Oh, wait.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Uh, let's just say yes, but maybe no.
Well, maybe you should just get back to me.
Yeah! Okay.
I'm sure you'll be the hit of the festival.
- Hi, Mr.
Kim.
- Hi, Fatima.
Did you hide the mac and cheese? Oh.
Sold out.
- Oh.
- Fatiha was hoping to have it for lunch.
Fatiha, my minivan is a broke.
Janet bring a rent van, and then I go out and get more mac and cheese for you.
Maybe we'll get some at No-Frills.
Or maybe she like, uh, Alpha-getti? - Couldn't find that either.

And check it! TVs in every headrest.
Is there cocaine in the glove compartment? How do you think we're paying for it? (SCOFFS) I can't drive this.
I'm gonna look like pimp.
Great! Then I'll take it to school and you can use my metro pass.
(GROANS) Why you do like this to me? We got a deal.
It didn't cost anything extra.
And you deserve it.
Okay, okay.
You right.
I deserve.
You want to enter us in the church singing contest? Not the contest.

(GASPS) You know even better duet? You and me and Jung.
Well I could ask him.
- That's great idea.
You ask Jung.
- Okay.
And if he say yes Don't feel like you still have to sing too.

Me, Umma, and - No way Jose.
Why? You have a great voice, Appa.
Yeah.
Don't want to make rest of you look bad.
All right.
But I just thought it might be nice Yeah.
Take a picture of me with a truck.
- Okay, but Appa - Ah, just take a picture.
JANET: Are you just going to stand there? Yeah.
(CAMERA CLICKING) Yup, that's the one.
I already told her no.
If you want to sing with her She really, really wants you to be there.
I know.
She made it really, really clear.
But, it's not happening.
Okay.
Here's the deal.
I need Umma to be in a good mood, 'cause I'm moving out.
I'm getting an apartment with Gerald and Semira.
That's great! What does that have to do with me singing? I just think telling Umma after a big family thing will make it easier.
- You know that's stupid, right? - I do.
But I really think telling Umma - after we do a big family thing - I'll do it.
- Seriously? - This is my serious face.
Oh! Wait.
Appa's not doing this, is he? No way Jose.
How's he liking the ride? - (SCOFFS) That's hilarious.
- Hey, family meeting! Sorry I'm late.
What I miss? We're singing at the church family festival.
- It's back on? - Apparently.
- I'll spread the word.
- Kimchee, don't.
Oops.
Group text.
How much are tickets? There's no tickets.
It's a church thing.
Don't tell Terence that.
I'm gonna sell him a ticket.
You owe me.
What are those, Mr.
Kim? Twenty-one inch rims? Yeah.
Maybe longer.
Well, whatever they are, she rides like a dream.
Ah, life is good, Mr.
Mehta.
When I first get here, I have nothing.
Same.
But sometimes I long for the halcyon days of our youth.
Ah, we not so old.
We still look good.
Yes.
You, uh, working out? - I've been working in (CHUCKLES).
- Ah.
You know what would make you look even better No.
MR.
MEHTA: They make first class hair pieces these days.
APPA: Hmm.
Ah, it look so real.
This is not a rug.
Mehta men die with a forest on top and bottom.
- Hello.
- Ooh.
Hello, young lady.
You're looking exceptionally beautiful today.
I just wanted to let you know you can't actually smoke on the patio.
Oh.
And you need to make a purchase to be on the patio.
- Oh.
- And there's no parking here until six.
- And they usually tow.
- BOTH: Oh.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay we move.
We move.
Uh? Bring those with you.
Thank you.
(GASPS) So nice.
Have both my children sing with me in a church.
Well Janet was very persuasive.
We just want to make you happy.
Enough chit-chat.
Here is the music.
When Koreans hear this song, they start to cry.
Easy win.
But it's not about winning, is it? No, no.
It's just for fun and for praising the Jesus.
Remember, Jung, very loud and very clear.
Janet, very soft and very soft.
Okay.
(PLAYING NOTE) (SINGING IN KOREAN) (SHRIEKS) (CLEARS THROAT) - It's very dry in the church.
- Here.
- We could lower the key.
- I can't go any lower.
And we have to hear Jung.
Very important.
Okay, we go again.
(PLAYING NOTE) (SINGING IN KOREAN) (SHRIEKS) Why you fooling around? You throw me off.
No, no it's going to be good.
The Park family is practice every day for two week.
We have only today.
This time, take serious.
- Really happy you talked me into this.
- It'll work.
Just sing louder and praise the Jesus.
UMMA: Janet, less talking.
Go again! (PLAYING NOTE) (CHUCKLES) (SIGHS) Oh.
Hi, Mr.
Kim.
Hi, Ms.
Shannon.
You look good.
- Did you lose some weight? - No, just eat healthy, huh.
You is what you eating (CHUCKLES).
- Uh.
So, anyway I really like SUV.
- Love that truck.
Yeah.
It's very nice.
So I was think, uh, maybe lease or long term rent.
- Hey, Ajushee! - Ah, Kimchee.
How's going? (CHUCKLES).
What's on your face? Ah, it's hair! Very, uh, fertile face.
(CHUCKLES) Yes.
Is that makeup? No! What you talking? Appa? Jung.
I just, uh, return truck.
Okay, see you.
Is someone - returning the Tahoe? 'Cause there's a huge scratch on the back.
- I don't scratch.
- I'm sure you didn't.
Just give me the paperwork, Terence.
I'll handle it.
Nothing to handle because I don't scratch truck.
It's a pretty big scratch.
- Dude, shut up! - No.
No, if I scratch truck, I pay.
- But I don't scratch truck.
- No one's saying you did.
Well, I did.
But I'm starting to feel like maybe I shouldn't have.
- How much? - We'll take care of the damage, Mr.
Kim.
If you don't give me such a nice truck, it not cost so much when I don't scratch.
Actually, the upgrade was Janet's idea, and I thought it was a nice thing.
Nobody ask for nice thing from you! At least you guys are talking again.
Oh, you know that guy? (SINGING IN KOREAN) Aesheem Janet! Hey, Appa.
There's something we should probably talk about.
What's on your face? This is you fault! Your face is my fault? Why you give to me such a fancy truck? - I thought you liked it.
- It is too much! Radio too loud.
Seat is too hot.
One raindrop, wipers start going crazy.
Dad, those are all adjustable.
You adjustable! - What's happening? - Hi, Janet.
Go upstair.
You work long shift, go relax all the way upstair in your room.
Happily.
- Love you so much! - JANET: Uh-huh.

What? She cost me lots of money.

- I don't want her to leave.
- She leaving! You saw lease! She not even tell us.
