(HUMMING) Janet, small pack, king size.
Mmm-hmm.
- For who? - Ashley.
Hello, Ashley.
How are you? Good, Mr.
Kim.
- But - She is buying for her mummy.
- I have a note.
- APPA: See? Graydon, king size.
(SIGHS) What you think, huh? She just smoke? Ashley mummy have a bad back.
She can't come to store.
Ashley is good girl.
Doing what her parent ask.
Okay.
- Sorry about that.
- It's okay.

Thank you.
Sorry, what was your mum's name? Brittney.
I mean Alice.
- (DOORBELL JINGLES) - Are you sure? Sorry, Mr.
Kim.
Brittney made me! (SIGHS) Oh, and I can't work tomorrow.
I have a note from my mom.
Pfft.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING) So How is Ada family doing? Settling in, slowly.
So hard when you first come to Canada.
Can't speak English, don't know anybody I know.
And everyone keeps telling them, "Go, Leafs, go!" Now they think it's a greeting.
Sorry we don't have more donation.
No, this is more than enough.
Thank you.
Janet just move out, business not so good MR.
CHIN: Think of the picture detail watching Top Chef! APPA: What you talking? Big screen Blue Jays.
In UHD, HDR, LED, OMG Oh.
This is nice.
Enjoy your new TV.
Oh, we will.
Okay, bye.
What's this? Forty inches of the highest definition.
Definition of what? Waste of money? Do you know how many 'K' this TV have? Four! What happen to "talk about" before you spending so much money? Now Pastor Nina think And we could make more donation to new immigrant family.
- What about old immigrant family? - (SCOFFS) Think about Korean drama in HDR.
If you need a place to store the TV until this all blows over, I know Ginger would love to watch her bird program in HD.
You know dog is color blind, huh? - JUNG: Where have you been? - Deli.
- Whiff on this.
- JUNG: Ugh.
Lauren's coming over tonight.
I'm doing one of those fancy cold cut boards.
You know, a little wine, pigs in a blanket, and some cozy time with this guy.
- JUNG: Ah.
- (SNIFFS) Whoo! I sampled a lot of pastrami.
Well, I look forward to meeting this girl.
Yeah, about that.
I was kind of hoping you might not come home tonight.
No offense but it's a little early for her to get Junged.
- What does that mean? - You know how it is.
Girls thinks I'm nice or funny then she meets you and can't remember my name.
What? Last week, Beer Fest, a girl was literally in the middle of giving me her number when you came over.
I never got those last two digits.
I've been trying different combos all week.
Man, that was one time.
It happened at Rib Fest, Raptors Fan Zone, that uberPOOL.
- Oh, yeah.
- It happens all the time.
So you're staying away tonight.
Fine.
I gotta study anyway.
I'll be at the library.
Some cute girls there, too.
Go nuts.
Nerds.
SANTI: Sometimes it is sculptural.
Sometimes it is figurative.
In this particular series, I work with each of the models to reveal the essence of who they really are.
(WHISPERING) Okay.
This isn't essence.
It's cliche.
It's one kind of beauty.
Yeah, the beautiful kind.
It's boring and it's commercial.
They're all the same.
There's comfort in this incredibly attractive sameness.
- How are you not seeing this? - MS.
MURRAY: Janet? Do you have an opinion you'd like to share with our guest? I'm good.
Thanks.
Gerald? We think the work is sexist.
Personally, in a great way.
- I didn't say that.
- GERALD: No, you're right.
You said it was more cliche and lacking in range.
Though, again, I find it to be a very attractive range.
Okay, it perpetuates what people expect.
Why not show a wider range of shape, color, and I don't know, hairiness, limb count.
SANTI If I may.
I draw great inspiration from my models.
What inspires you? Um - Well, people.
- Mmm-hmm.
Particularly women.
Vulnerability Because when I look at my work, I see people.
Particularly women.
And vulnerability.
You just repeated what I said.
Okay.
Thanks, Janet.
But some of us have a blowout appointment in about half an hour, so we're going to wrap this thing up.
Okay? Thank you so much for coming.
- Really beautiful.
- My absolute pleasure.
- MS.
MURRAY: I'm a huge fan.
- That's a great shot.
I have a donation for Ada family.
- I hope I'm not too late.
- No, it's perfect.
We're actually taking a load over to their place later today.
Now they have new TV.
You're giving them your new TV? New to them.
Oh.
MRS.
PARK: Did the Ada family get the fridge and prepared meals I ordered them? Yes, you already asked me that.
I get mixed up.
We make so many different donations.
Well, unfortunately the Ada's are vegetarian so they really can't eat the meals you bought.
Oh.
It's okay, I make them bibimbap.
Oh.
Bibimbap.
That sounds fun.
- Am I saying it right? - No.
- Hey, I'm heading out.
- Oh Jelly! That was gonna be me, but a big ol' pile of work gobbled up my desk.
Hope it doesn't gobble up your chair.
Yeah, better spray my office with work-icide.
So more work doesn't destroy my furniture crops.
(LAUGHS) All right.
How I can help? Oh, my God, I was secretly hoping you'd say that.
Your secrets are safe with me.
Well, here's another one.
I'm trying to get out of here so I can meet Alejandro.
Yeah.
Let me help you do that.
Well, it'd probably be best if we divide and conquer.
I'll finish this paperwork, if you clean the two cars that came in.
Full disclosure, the Impala has baby urp all over the back seat.
Okay, I don't really know what urp is, but I'm guessing it's not the name of the baby.
Thank you! - Excuse me.
Janet.
- Yes? - I said Janet.
- GERALD: Sorry.
Sometimes I hear the "Ja" and jump right to Gerald.
Hi, I'm Gerald.
Big fan.
So, Janet, I'm sorry we didn't finish earlier.
I wanted to thank you.
Oh? I hear what you're saying about our modern sense of beauty.
I think you'd be great for my next shoot.
- Really? - Really? It'll be a great collaboration.
Okay.
Wow.
I didn't think I was exactly the type.
It's not really something I've done before.
Oh, don't worry.
You'll be perfect for it.
- Okay.
- Great.
I do some modelling too by the way.
- What are you doing here? - I'm sorry, I had to work late.
- I'll be out in 10 minutes.
- Lauren's on her way up.
- Get out.
- I have to shower.
- I smell like baby barf.
- That's adorable.
Just make that work for you with your library geeks.
(SIGHS) (KNOCKING AT DOOR) - Hey, come through.
- Hey.
Right through.
In fact, I was thinking we could spend the next 10 minutes or so out on the balcony.
I just came from outside.
I could use some AC.
Oh, right.
So what can I get for you to go with my mortadella? - Uh, white wine.
- Ooh.
Just in luck.
- Bought a big box.
- Ooh.
Oh.
Hi.
- I'm - My roommate, Jung.
Who was just leaving.
Uh, well, I have to get dressed first.
But, it was nice to meet you.
You, too.
I'm Lauren.
- What is that? (SNIFFS) - Oh, it's pepperettes.
I'm doing a bit of a meat board.
- No, Involio? - Yeah.
- It's their Shea Body Butter.
- Of course, it is.
I love that stuff.
Well, I'm gonna get changed.
- I'll see you later.
- Great.
Well, Jung seems nice.
Does he always walk around half naked? Ah, I prefer to think of him as half-dressed.
Ham and cheese, or broccoli.
And cheese.
Yobo.
Sit.
Look.
Your favorite movie.
Your favorite snack.
No more angry face? (SCOFFS) You just so crazy with money sometime.
I not crazy.
You buy 100 bag of salt during ice storm.
And we not have to buy since.
Okay.
Next time we talk about first.
Thank you.
So, we keep new TV? Yeah.
(APPA LAUGHS) I already give old TV to Ada family.
- What? - Yeah, it's good to give.
- Why you do that? - It's just old TV.
What's you problem? You remember Y2K? What you do? We so scared everything go crazy, I hide $3,000 in safe place.
Where? Inside old TV.
- Why you do that? - Y2K.
(EXCLAIMS) Why you looking at porno? It's a fashion magazine.
Oh.
Oh Yeah, she's very beautiful.
Need more clothes on, but very beautiful.
I'm actually modelling for a pretty important photographer at school.
- You? - Why'd you say it like that? Janet, you are pretty, but not model pretty.
UMMA: Ah.
You like this.
That's an ad for eyeglasses and you're pointing at the doctor.
Janet.
You is most beautiful girl.
To family.
She is most beautiful girl to everyone else.
See, this is why I'm doing it.
- To take down this patriarchal view of - Okay, we going.
- See you.
- Bye, Janet.
Of beauty! - So, Lauren seemed cool.
- Here we go.
I was just asking if you had a good time last night.
I don't know, did I, Mr.
Wet Chest? I wasn't done toweling.
She barely noticed my meat board.
Too busy thinking about yours.
What do you want me to do? Smell bad? Drool? Be a jerk? I don't know, man.
But she's coming over.
Why do you think that is? (SCOFFS) - Fine.
I'll just leave.
- No.
(SIGHS) No, you're staying and you're gonna make me look amazing.
- You want me to do your hair again? - No.
Yes.
But that's not all.
Hello! Please, come in.
(MAN TALKING ON TV INDISTINCTLY) UMMA: Wow.
So big family.
Thank you.

- It's nothing.
Just cooking.

Pastor Nina.
Hi.
PASTOR NINA: And Mr.
Kim.
Ooh, this is great.
The Ada's know almost no one.
I mean, yes, donations are nice.
I would kill for that juicer but they don't have any social network.
Okay.
Mr.
Ada, the Kim's own a very successful convenience store.
It's just a store.
Mr.
Ada ran a pharmacy.
Maybe you could tell them how you got started.
It's a so long time ago story You having trouble with TV? - Maybe I can fix.
- No, Appa.
Just leave.
- We should go.
- Please, stay.
Have tea.
I was just telling the Ada's about sugar bushes.
They're very excited to see them.
Of course, it's not the season.
Okay, I just do very fast fix.
Is everything okay? Yeah.
I just have to fix In a bathroom.
(SHOWER RUNNING) (KNOCKING ON DOOR) Everything okay? JANET: Uh-huh.
It's a home tan.
Is it terrible? Don't tell me.
Stop looking at it.
Okay, tell me.
No, no, it looks You look really fun and stuff.
I also did some waxing.
Which actually went okay.
Great.
Why? For the shoot tonight, with Santi.
I'm just getting camera-ready.
Right, 'cause you're trying to look different from the other models.
I already am different.
I'm just trying to make my different look good.
Well, it It It It I know it's not perfect.
- But this is who I am.
- Not really.
And I'm still making my point about beauty standards and what they do to a person.
Definitely.
So, you're still going through with this? Yes, Gerald.
I am.
Just need one more shower.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
I mean (BURPS) Thanks.
So, I checked out that podcast you recommended.
You're right.
It's terrible.
Did you listen all the way to the end? It only gets worse.
LAUREN: I know.
So good.
So it's muggy outside.
- Jung, you look super-hot.
- No, I don't.
I'm gross.
Oily skin.
It's gross, right? It doesn't look oily to me.
Yeah, it's more of a sweat situation.
And it's out of control.
Yeah, I sweat, like, a lot.
Mostly in the pits.
And the groin.
I just meant you must be super-hot with all those clothes on.
Oh! Sorry, I should've brought you a latte.
No, you shouldn't have.
Because Jung can't have dairy.
It upsets my stomach.
Yeah, full on heavy D.
Diarrhea.
I'm not super technical but is there a reason he's fixing it in the bathroom? More private.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) He get nervous when he's fixing.
I go check.
I usually just take a magazine.
(LAUGHS) - More tea? - Okay.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) (UMMA SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE) Why you take too long? Envelope get stuck.
Have to take out other thing.
Everybody think you is crazy.
Not crazy now.
Huh? (CHUCKLES) He almost finish.
Maybe we could play a game.
So it must have been hard to find work.
Yeah, that's 'cause he's lazy and mostly mooches.
Right, buddy? Yeah, I mean, why pay for stuff when other people can, right? But, I mean, you have a good job at Handy now? - Yeah - But he's on thin ice.
Because of his weird fetish.
Okay, you know what, I'm done.
All right.
You said be gross.
I said that's impossible, yet I did it.
- Now you're crossing the line.
- Hey! - Cover your shoulders.
- LAUREN: Sorry.
What's going on? (SIGHS) Look.
- I can't help it if she's into me.
- Fine.
- Jung's the hot one so go for it.
- What? I'm clean.
I cooked.
I loved that story about your great-grandmother who was suffering - She was a suffragette.
- Whatever.
The point is you're gonna fall for the guy with the abs and let the guy with personality get away.
Law of the jungle.
You think I'd drop a guy I like because a slightly more handsome guy is in the room? - Slightly? - You heard her.
No, I've been on 11 dates this month.
It's exhausting and it's boring.
I just wanted a nice, cool guy, and I thought I had one.
Who are you talking about? Why are guys such jerks? Oh, my God.
She didn't like you! She liked me! Yeah, and now she hates you.
Bittersweet victory.
Thanks for coming.
Hey, moral support, right? Is that why you brought your portfolio? I couldn't find my wallet, so I just thought I'd bring it along to carry some of my loose change and a few of my better pictures.
Okay, you are not harassing Santi.
Can I just show him my hat? SANTI: Hey, Janet.
You made it.
What happened to you? Yeah, there was an incident, and my skin's a little orange, and my eyebrows are over-plucked.
But I said screw it.
I'm a real person.
It doesn't matter what I look like.
I completely agree with you.
I wasn't sure what to wear, so I brought some different outfits including some swimsuits.
Oh Okay.
But meanwhile, can you adjust the umbrella and also put a sandbag on that soft box for me? Oh.
Okay.
- And hair and makeup? - Yep.
Talent is all processed and ready to go.
There she is.
Hey, come on in.
She's 31.
Like you said, need to push boundaries.
JANET: Cool.
I still think I made my point.
- SANTI: Janet, bounce.
- Right.
Great lo-kaysh, by the way.
- It's kind of a closed set.
- Gotcha, outside.
- Peace.
- Two.
Two words.
- Cut off hand.
- First word.
No, that's up here.
When it's on the arm it's syllables.
- Okay.
All done.
- Oh, thank God.
(SIGHS) Yobo, let's go.
Okay, good to meet you all.
Bye-bye.
Thank you for coming and fixing TV.
(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE) - Thank you.
- Thank you.
Go, Leafs, go.
Oh, you very welcome.
And here take this.
- What is it? - What you doing? For church.
And for helping other people like Ada family.
Oh, wow! That's very generous.
Yeah, too generous.
You see their fridge? Maybe you need some time to think about it.
Yeah, remember, it's good to talk about a big money decision.
Huh? UMMA: Why not give? We don't even remember money is in back of TV.
I remember.
Just take long time.
It was in the TV? Yeah, for safe keeping.
Y2K.
Should we keep money in our TV? No.
No, the banks are good here.
Please.
This is what I want to do.
(SIGHS) Okay.
- We go now? - Yeah.
- (SOFT POP) - (ALL GASP) Maybe we'll try Pictionary this time.
So how was photo shoot? Have to show me picture of you.
I was actually behind the camera.
You taking model picture? Well, the photographer was taking the model's picture.
I was behind the photographer.
Well, around.
I was holding the bounce.
It's a lighting thing.
- So you bounce light? - Yeah, not easy.
Sound easy.
(APPA GRUNTING) What are you doing? Have to make up for Umma spending.
Not spending, giving.
Appa, you can't still be worried about Y2K.
Not Y2K.
But maybe asteroid, Ebola, robot uprising.
How will you know any of that stuff's happening if you don't have a TV? UMMA: Hmm.
Okay.
TV stay.
Janet go.
(APPA LAUGHING) Love you so much, Appa.
APPA: Yeah, love you too, TV.
