Kim's Convenience

Hmm. You see?

See what?

- The guy. - Who?

- Guy in back. - The black guy?

- Janet, don't be racist. - What?

- You see guy in back? - Yeah.

What you think? Steal or no steal?

- You saw him take something? - No.

Because, he does no steal.

He does no steal because he's a black guy, brown shoes.

He's not gonna steal 'cause he's a black guy with brown shoes on?

Black guy, brown shoes, that's a no steal.

That's a cancel out combo.

Cancel out combo. Got it.

One day you take over store, you have to know,

steal or no steal.

I'm not taking over the store. Ever.

White guy, white shoes, that's a steal.

Brown woman, blue jacket, that's a no steal.

But lesbian, that's girl who is the gay,

if she whistling... She's a steal.

But two lesbian, surprise, no steal.

Even if whistling. Cancel out combo.

What about a fat Asian gay man with long straight hair,

and a black lesbian with a ponytail and cowboy boots.

Together. Steal or no steal?

- That's impossible. - What's impossible?

- The fat, Asian, gay? -Appa, there are Asians who're gay, you know.

I know. But Asian gay is never fat.

Only skinny Asian is the gay. That's rule.

That's how they doing like that. Yeah.

For how long? Okay. Yeah. I find out if he's there.

Uh-huh, uh-huh. Perfect.

No, no, tell her nothing.

It'll be surprise.

Okay, I will. You too. Bye-bye.

- Who it? - Oh, Mrs. Lee.

Her daughter Grace is in town.

I'm helping planning visit.

Hmm.

So why you look like a cat with mouse in you mouth?

- Mouth in my mouse? -You know what I'm talking.

Who you surprise?

Who say anything about surprise?

"It'll be surprise. Okay, I will. Bye-bye."

You shouldn't listen to private conversation.

You shouldn't have a private conversation

in front of people with good hearing.

- He's in mood. - I not in mood.

- Janet. Gerald. - Hi Appa. Bye Appa.

Stop!

- Where you go? -Oh, our school's having this...

We're going nowhere. Let's go.

You in big hurry to go nowhere.

- Gerald, you say to me. - Don't.

- Gerald. - Uh...

If it were up to just me,

- I would tell you, but for Janet... - Tell.

- Don't tell. - Talk.

- Don't talk. - Gerald.

Uh, can we... Can we just go?

- Don't go. - You don't go.

Thanks.

When you get a chance can you please pull these contracts for me?

Yeah, sure.

So, how's it going? Anything new with you?

No, not really.

- Did you get a haircut? - Nope.

- Same old me. - Same old me too.

I mean, not really. But kind of.

Oh, and I just forwarded you a request from Ted

about the SureTech account.

Grace?

Jung?

- Hey. - Hi.

How'd you know I work here?

- You work here? -Isn't that why you're here?

- In Toronto? - No, I mean

To rent a car.

Right, yeah, sorry. I'm just surprised to see you.

- I thought you lived in Vancouver. - I do.

That's why I need to rent a car here.

And my umma told me that...

That my umma told her that this was the place to come.

- Yeah. - Yep.

Terence. This is Terence.

I feel like maybe he should help you out.

Probably for the best.

Terence, this is Grace Lee. She'd like to rent a car.

Great. You've come to the right place.

- Hey, everything okay? -All right, be honest with me.

Did I look like a complete idiot out there?

No. You couldn't look like an idiot if you tried.

- Seems like I was trying pretty hard. - What'd I miss?

- Grace Lee. - No.

- Yeah. -She's here in the office?

An ex-girlfriend?

Jung's high school number one hunny bun-bun.

So you dated. Who didn't?

- I wouldn't say as much dating as... - Kimch!

I was just gonna say it was mostly sex.

- Okay. - Okay.

Let's keep things professional here.

I know how hard it can be to run into someone at the workplace

- that you have feelings for... - Well...

Or did. Or still do?

Hey, why's she here? I thought she hated you.

I think my umma's still trying to get us back together.

That explains why your umma called asking what time you were working today.

- Why didn't you tell me? - Dude, I'm not your secretary.

- I should talk to her. -Well, there are other options,

but who am I to stand in the way of love?

- Excuse me. - Yeah, of course.

- Enter the Dragon. - Once Upon a Time Part Two.

- Kung Fu Hustle. - Dragon Lord.

- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. - Ip Man.

- Five Deadly Venom! - Five Deadly what?

- You don't know Five Deadly Venom? - I know it.

See, I told you.

Mr. Chin, this is Gerald.

Gerald, you have great taste.

Thank you.

So, what is Hapkido Toronto?

Gerald and I thought it'd be fun to take a Hapkido class.

We got a discount through school. It's pretty cool.

- Fun? - Yeah.

- Discount? - Mmm-hmm.

Cool? Aeeshcham.

Hapkido is a serious, Janet.

- Seriously? - Yeah, seriously.

No, Appa, are you being serious?

Yeah, this is my serious face.

- It's pretty serious. - That's your serious face?

- Yah, what you talking? -I'm talking about serious things, Appa.

- Yeah, me too! -All right then! I'm glad we got that sorted out.

Stop!

Okay, okay, you don't have to beg to me.

I will teach to you Hapkido.

I've asked you, like, 100 times about Hapkido

and you always said no because I was a girl.

And now that another man is teaching me, you're jealous?

- So jealous. - I'm not jealous.

When you is girl, you is too fat,

can't even bend arm.

- Now you is ready to learn. - Whatever. We're fine.

We like our Hapkido teacher.

Who is you Hapkido teacher?

- His name is... -I think he's like an art teacher.

You art teacher pimping Korea?

- Uh... -No, no, no, can't having like that.

Only Korean can teach a Korean Hapkido.

- Show us what you learn. - Okay.

Uh, so, this is a wrist lock.

Grab me here and then I just do...

Ow!

Girl, that is so painful!

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.

You have to be careful, Janet.

I'm getting older and weaker just like your father here.

What you talking?

Uh, Gerald, try something on me.

Oh, no, it's okay, Mr. Kim,

I think I'm might purchase one of these

- freezers... - Okay.

I'm going to attack you slowly.

You better doing some Hapkido or you gonna get hurt.

- Please. -I attack with my left hand. Huh?

Here I come Gerald. Oh, so slow.

What I do, Hapkido save me please.

Okay, Mr. Kim!

- Are you okay? -I just got the wind knocked out of me

through this new hole in my back.

Hey.

Hey.

So that was weird. Back there.

Yeah, it was. But whatever.

Listen, I just wanted to say sorry.

About what happened in high school.

What happened in high school?

The thing I did to make you hate me.

You're gonna have to be a bit more specific than that.

I remember, uh, going to your house for a family dinner.

I think I had a little vodka before I showed up.

More than a little.

- I remember punching a tree... - That was my uncle.

- I also remember throwing up on a tree. - Also my uncle.

You really don't remember that?

I know I was a bit of an idiot.

Yeah, you were.

So, you pretty busy while you're here?

Lots of meetings.

So you're all booked up?

You know, if you're gonna ask me out, you better hurry up,

'cause I charge by the hour.

That didn't sound good. I meant charge you,

'cause I'm a lawyer and not a sex stripper...

Will you go to dinner with me tonight?

Yes.
