05x10 - Who's Pranking Who?

[bunniefuu]

JANET: Hey Appa, what are you doing today?

APPA: Oh, let me see.

Uh...

Can you even read that?

Yeah.

Uh, Mr. Chin something.

Or... pick Chinatown sports.

What do all the different colours mean?

Used to mean different things.

Family schedule, business schedule, but I get all mixed up and now it's just decoration.

Appa, that's ridiculous.

You ridiculous!

(SIGHING)

Look.

This is my calendar.

You have the app on your phone too.

Oh, yeah?

Each colour represents a different thing in my life and each day can be expanded to fit in as much as I need to write.

Oh.

It's always legible and I can write, "Working at the store Monday", click "repeat", and there it is, every Monday.

Oh!

Oh!

Ha-ha, wow!

So fast!

- And look, keep going!

- Yeah, well...

Yeah, in ten year, your schedule say you still working at the store on Monday.

(LAUGHING)

Never mind.

Yeah, by then I probably die so you can take over store, but better not die on Monday, 'cause we all know where you gonna be!

(LAUGHING)

Oh!

"Pick up Mr. Chin at airport".

♪ Ah, these numbers have to be in ASAP.

Oh, and the damage reports.

If you're flirting, I have some notes.

No, I have those floaty thing-a-ma-jigs in my vision.

What are they called?

Floaters?

No, but it'll come to me.

Extra sweetener, as usual.

Ugh, so annoying.

I thought you were off sugar.

No, my eye.

You still seeing those flying things?

Floaters.

That doesn't sound right.

You should get that checked out.

I know but I'm slammed right now, and don't even get me started on my meeting with the D-man.

District manager, who's a woman.

I can meet with Ruth!

You?

Why'd you say it like that?

Yeah, you know, why don't you take the meeting?

- Really?

- Really?

Yes, I trust you.

Run with it.

And Omar, stop flicking the lights.

Am I still doing it?

Yeah, I'm taking you to see the obstetrician.

I think you mean optician.

Optometrist.

Ophthalmologist.

That's the one.

Great.

Kimchee'll take care of the meeting, and I'll take care of you.

Ooh, that sounded ominous.

Sorry, I had to yawn.

Tried to muscle through.

(SIGHING)

And that was after we went to Mwanza.

Oh, and did I tell you Ally and I made it to the Lumo Sanctuary?

Was it amazing?

Oh!

Did you stay at Lion's Bluff?

(SCOFFING)

Like we could afford that.

But yeah.

(LAUGHING)

Lucky!

I left Tanzania too early.

In Korea, I climbed to the top of to the top of Bukhansan.

Well, not the top top.

Just to the restaurant area..

Gerald, I not pay you to stand around.

Now, take box to basement, huh?

Technically it's not my shift yet.

Technically not your box, so win-win.

Mm.

Appa, this is my friend Tamson.

She just got back from Tanzania.

- We worked together.

- Oh, yeah?

Tamson, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

You want drink?

Janet, give to her drink.

Oh, it's okay.

I'm fine.

Me too.

So rude.

One time when Janet was a little girl, I... what?

Janet, you do this?

- Yeah.

- (IMPRESSED CHUCKLING)

I think it's a whole orange but it's just a peel.

Oh, that's a good prank!

- It wasn't a prank.

- Don't worry.

I get her back because I'm a prank master.

I didn't prank you.

Tamson is a witness, prank w*r is on.

- Okay.

- But I didn't...

Prank w*r...

is on.

(SNICKERING)

(CLATTER)

Everything okay?

Yes!

Yes, go back to bed.

You just had surgery.

You heard the doctor, it's not a big deal.

She also said to rest, keep your head still, and don't distract me.

Mm, something smells good.

I'm making samgyetang.

My umma used to make it for me when I'd pretend to be sick.

Not that you're pretending to be sick.

Oh, that's cute.

She used to make it for you and now you're making it...

♪ Pour moi ♪

And, that's the Valium kicking in.

Go back to bed.

Okay.

(WHISPERING)

Sorry about that.

UMMA ON PHONE: Okay, so now, take the chicken and cut off wing tip and tail. Is that the flappy thing?

Mm.

Then take chabssal... uh, chabssal-eul yeong-eolro molago haji? Oh, yeah.

Glutinous rice. Isn't all rice glutinous?

No, no.

Glutinous rice is different kind.

- (SIGHING)

- (KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Oh.

Hang on.

- Ta-da!

- Umma?

Uh.

I know, I save the day.

You're welcome.

(WHISPERING)

Shh, Shannon's resting.

You didn't have to come all the way here.

I mean, I appreciate you coming but I wanted to do this.

That's nice, but uh, no.

You're gonna mess it up.

I cook and uh, you gonna chop green onion.

Oh.

Like a secret ingredient?

No.

Just start chopping.

Is Shannon joining us?

Unfortunately she can't make it, but not to worry, Ruth.

I'm up to speed.

Alrighty then.

What's your take on the kiosk initiative?

Well, it's in the initial phases.

Kioskally speaking.

All things considered, weighing pros and cons, I think it's a great idea.

You do.

Yes.

I think so too but there's been a bit of pushback.

Listen, there's always gonna be pushback, but anything worth doing is worth pushing back the pushback to do.

That's great to hear.

I think the kiosk is gonna completely streamline

- things at Handy.

- Mm, no doubt.

You think this branch might be interested in testing one out?

My question is why isn't it already here being tested out?

(BOTH LAUGHING)

And Shannon's good with this.

Absolutely!

I'm pretty sure.

I remember when you were only this tall.

(CHUCKLING)

You're getting so big!

Uh-oh.

I better lay off the snacks.

I mean old.

Girl, you're getting old.

Sorry I took so long.

Broke a jar and I had to clean it, and then I broke the broom I was using to...

Shh!

Watch.

Janet prank me, now I counter-prank her.

At the counter.

Oh, I almost forgot, can I get my usual?

Sure.

(SIGHING)

Did I miss it?

Aeecham.

Janet?

Two-for-one special on cigarette, only for today.

- Really?

- Oh, wow!

Sure.

All right, all right, all right.

(SIGHING)

Thanks.

Okay, the prank's definitely on me.

It's not working!

Since when do we do specials on cigarettes?

Uh, same special on paper towel.

Go get more from the basement.

But you're both right there.

It's not our shift yet.

Oh, how come when you say it...

Bbali, bbali!

Ah.

When Janet grab cigarette, they all fall down on top of her head.

So funny, heh?

(LAUGHING)

(SIGHING)

That's why I don't like pranks.

My mom's boyfriend used to hide under my bed and grab my feet.

Oh, that's a good prank!

It's pretty weird when it's the first time you're meeting.

Okay, it's fixed.

She gave me the wrong ones.

I wanted light.

Careful, it's a bit hot.

Aw, you didn't have to go to all this trouble.

Oh, no trouble.

I mean, I made it from scratch so a little trouble, but whatever.

You're the best.

Mm, this smells incredible.

You, Mister, are a man of many talents.

Thank you!

The green onions were a bit tricky but the rest was a piece of cake.

- (PHONE VIBRATING)

- Oh.

- Ooh.

- Who is it?

Oh, it's just Kimchee.

Leave it.

Well, what if it's important?

Okay, you eat, I'll take care of it.

Hey.

Oh, Jung.

I thought I called Shannon.

You did.

What's up?

How's her eye?

Good.

She just needs to rest.

Is there a fire?

No!

Then be a good assistant manager and take care of whatever it is you're calling about.

SHANNON: Jung!

Don't mind him.

What's going on?

Hey!

So, I met with Ruth and she wants to test these automated kiosks at the branch.

Oh, yeah.

They were talking about those.

What do you think, you know, as assistant manager?

I'm not sure.

Normally I'm scared of robots.

I got my sweatpants caught in an escalator once.

It was terrifying, but I think these might be good.

You know, innovation, progress, cool touchpads.

Well, I'm on board if you're on board.

- Yeah?

- Yeah!

And we're just testing it so go with it.

Wow, these painkillers are amazing.

I can barely feel my feet.

And, let's wind this down.

Okay, she's gotta rest.

Love ya, buddy!

Byeee!

Aw, aren't you being a little overprotective boyfriend?

That's right.

Nothing's gonna harm you on my watch.

Ooh!

Sorry.

It's okay.

I can't really feel it.

(SIRENS WAILING)

(MESSAGE SENT NOTIFICATION)

I might turn in early.

Yeah, me too.

(GRUNTING)

Oh, but uh, have to go downstairs.

Think I forget phone in store.

I can check on my way to bed.

No, no!

Have to take out the garbage anyway.

Okay.

(PHONE NOTIFICATION)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Aww, Mrs.

Kim!

This is a surprise.

Did Jung send you to check up on me?

Oh, no, no.

I just come by to get my big pot.

Oh, did he borrow it for his stew?

Yes, his stew.

(CHUCKLING)

Such a good boy.

He is such a good boy and you are such a good mom for raising such a good boy.

Thank you.

I try.

So, how was the stew that Jung make?

Also good?

Well, it's the thought that counts, right?

What do you mean?

You know, Jung tried really hard but just between us, it was a little bland.

But I goosed it up.

You add goose?

No, just a little mustard and lemon.

In samgyetang?

I don't know, it needed something.

It was all just kinda one blah flavour.

Is something wrong?

Yeah, yeah.

Something is wrong.

While you are sleeping because of your lazy eye, I come over and make stew for Jung, for you!

Oh my God, I'm so sorry...

And maybe I didn't have proper rice and there was no dipping sauce, but still, it's very good samgyetang!

Maybe your taste bud get detached too!

I really liked the texture?

Ooh.

(DOOR OPENING)

(CHUCKLING)

TAMSON: Wow.

So this is it, eh?

JANET: Oh, yeah.

It's a bit of a letdown in real life.

What are you talking about?

I mean, the lighting could be better.

- I'm just kidding.

- (CHUCKLING)

This kinda reminds me of your room in Tanzania.

But with more canned goods.

Right.

It seems like a dream.

Yeah.

Travelling was fun, but I did kinda miss you.

Really?

Yeah.

Me too.

Oh!

Stop!

- Stop!

- (SCREAMING)

Stop!

Appa!

What are you doing?!

Better question is what are you two doing?

Gotcha!

Prank w*r!

Oh-ho!

We got you so good, Appa!

Uh, yeah.

(AWKWARD CHUCKLING)

So good, Mr.

Kim.

Who's the prank master now, sucka?

This was a prank?

(LAUGHING)

Yeah, of course!

Oh, oh!

(RELIEVED LAUGHING)

I can't believe I fall for that!

Oh, so much better than orange prank.

(GIGGLING)

Right?

Oh, you two crazy girl, huh?

Okay, you win!

Prank champion Janet!

(CHUCKLING)

(SIGHING)

(NERVOUS CHUCKLING)

(WHISPERING)

I am so sorry.

It's okay.

Don't worry about it.

I should probably go though.

(TRAFFIC NOISES)

KIMCHEE: Welcome to the future.

Cool, an office ATM.

Thursday's poker game just got real.

It's a kiosk.

It's here to make the customer's experience easier, which makes our job easier.

Does it wash cars?

No.

That's % of my job.

It's not working!

Press harder.

- (STRAINING)

- Too hard, Terence.

You just have to touch it.

(BEEPING)

See?

Agh!

I've heard of this.

You have zombie fingers.

My mom says my massages are clammy.

Ugh.

Now my finger's white.

- Is that weird?

- Don't touch me.

Guys, this really has to work.

Shannon's away, I'm covering, and this is like a new thing, so...

We get it.

Don't worry.

Thanks, guys.

Did you feel that?

Did I feel what?

Oh my God!

Mrs.

Kim!

You have a big spoon?

Yes.

Again, so sorry about the other day.

Your stew was delicious and I was just...

Ah, yes.

My samgyetang is very delicious.

What you eat is Jung's samgyetang.

And he cut green onion too long.

That must have been it.

And look, you have a pink salt, table salt, black salt!

That's pepper.

I need regular sea salt and regular garlic.

- And regular chicken?

- No.

Organic Halal chicken is the best one.

You see, this is the problem.

You have all wrong ingredients so this time, I bring my own ingredients.

You can be my helper.

Oh, I can't really cook.

That's why you are helper.

No, I meant because of my eye.

Okay, uh, just watch and learn.

I can't really watch either.

Yeah, yeah, you have excuse for everything.

Everyone loves the kiosk.

Works like a charm.

That's so great.

We're testing these at a few Handy's and you guys are clearly leading the way.

And Shannon wasn't even here.

Just kidding.

It was really a team effort.

The team seems very relaxed.

(PHONE CAMERA CLICKING)

Yeah, they're a chill bunch.

And who would you say is the most chill specifically?

I don't know.

Omar?

Nothing phases Stacie either.

And is that Omar O-M-A-R?

What are you writing?

Oh.

Don't worry.

In the end, the decision is up to you and Shannon.

The streamlining we talked about.

You mean how the kiosk will streamline the experience for customers.

Absolutely.

And once the machines are up and running, we won't need as many staff around.

Oh.

Oh!

Again, great job.

You did this.

Thanks!

JANET: Hey, Appa.

Oh, Janet.

I wanna talk to you about that prank, with Tamson?

Oh-ho.

So funny, huh?

You definitely prank champion.

Okay, sure.

But I was thinking about it, and...

You already planning next prank?

No.

This isn't really about pranking.

I think we should be able to talk about stuff, you know.

I'm not a kid anymore.

Obviously, I'll always be your and Umma's little girl.

I get that.

What you trying to say, Janet?

Well...

I'm just saying, as adults...

Yeah.

...you and I should be able to have an honest conversation.

- Okay.

- About anything.

Like, relationships and...

Yeah?

Fluid sexual orientation.

(WHOOPEE CUSHION FARTING)

Oh my God!

Whew-hoo-hoo!

Oh, Janet, what you eating?

You did this?

Oh, don't blame chair for you bangu.

Did you even hear a word I said?

No, because all I hear is this.

(FARTING NOISE)

(LAUGHING)

And the new heavyweight prank champion of the world!

Appa!

- Yeah, okay.

- (LAUGHING)

(SIGHING)

Glad we're both adults!

- (LAUGHING)

- (FARTING)

Great call on the droids, Kimch.

Love those little guys.

- See ya tomorrow.

- Hopefully.

What do you mean?

The Matrix?

Terminator?

Age of Ultron? Are you okay?

Never trust machines.

The kiosks are too good!

Now Ruth wants me to fire someone.

Huh.

First they replace us, then they control us.

Exactly.

What do we do?

Get rid of the problem.

Terence.

He's definitely the weak link.

No, the kiosk.

No one's gonna keep 'em around if they keep... malfunctioning.

Ma' boy, genius!

I learned a lot about IT in El Segundo.

For starters, I was pronouncing it "it".

I'm gonna ignore that and stick with the genius thing.

Should be a pretty easy hack.

- I just have to...

- (BEEPING)

I think I accidentally rented a car.

How'd you do that?

I don't know but it was fast.

- These kiosks are amazing.

- Dude!

I know, I'm sorry, I just need to...

You rented another car!

I changed the language to Spanish.

Jung!

It's not my fault.

I don't speak Spanish.

Just stop!

This is my problem.

I know what I gotta do.

Way ahead of you, bro.

No, man, no!

SHANNON: Smells yummy.

It is yummy.

- (CHUCKLING)

- Here, try.

Wow.

That is delicious.

And that sauce really does have a kick to it.

And I'm not just saying that because of what happened the other day, which, again, I'm very sorry about.

I'm glad you like my samgyetang.

- Mm.

- Ah!

What's wrong?

I think I get a chili flake in my eye.

Oh my gosh, rinse it out!

Where's the sink?

To the left.

- Oh, that's right.

- (THUDDING)

- Oh.

- Ah!

Yah.

Umma?

What's going on?

She got chili flakes in her eye because she remade the stew which you never made in the first place, liar.

But we're all good now.

Aye!

Speak for yourself!

Jung, take me to sink.

Sure, let me just drop my stuff off...

(SCREAMING)

Jung!

- Okay, yeah, yeah.

We're going.

- Aye, oh!

All right.

Let's talk kiosks.

I've got some updates for you.

Actually, I've made a decision.

You're quitting?

Unfortunately, yes.

Don't you wanna know why?

Sure.

It wasn't an easy decision.

I truly appreciate your faith in me.

I really love this job.

So, you don't want to quit.

- No!

- Okay, good.

I don't wanna quit, but I got no choice.

A captain goes down with the ship.

Or if the captain isn't there, the person acting like the captain goes down with the ship.

Is this in the letter?

'Cause I'll read it later.

I'm the one who said yes to the kiosk.

Oh, about that, we're pressing pause on the kiosk.

We are?

Yeah, they had some liabilities.

Turns out kids were using their parent's driver's license to rent a car.

Teenagers, mostly.

One eleven-year-old with a moustache.

Ooh, damn!

- Yeah, but we are not giving up.

- We aren't?

Well, right now we're totally giving up.

But mark my words, the kiosk will be back.

Okay.

And you can go ahead and shred the letter.

It's kinda weird that you took it!

Is the coast clear?

Oh.

Hey.

Your dad's not gonna pop up from behind the counter, is he?

Again, really sorry for what happened the other day.

It's okay.

I take it you haven't come out to your parents yet?

Not sure "coming out" is the right term for me.

I mean, I'm still figuring stuff out, like everyone is.

But I really like you.

Thought maybe we could start a bit slower?

Weren't we just havin' some fun?

Oh.

Yeah!

Absolutely.

That's what I meant.

Start having fun a bit slower.

(CHUCKLING)

Hey, um...

What are you doing later today?

Today's not so good.

I'll text you.

Okay, great.

Hey, while I'm here, do you mind if I grab a...

No, of course not.

On the house, even.

Graydon's extra mild, small.

Oh, you remembered!

- Thanks.

- No problem.

You need a light?

No.

(CHUCKLING)

Okay.

Thanks again.

See ya!

(BELL TINKLING)

Appa!

(GRUNTING)

Do it!

Hyah!

(LAUGHING)

Ahh!

Ha-ha-ha!

(TAPE SCRUBBING NOISE)

I love you like a brother!

Noo!

- Guhh!

- (GROANING)

(THUDDING)

Hyah!

So...

There's an explanation.

Okay.

See, the robots think they're smarter, but they have one weakness: love.

If we can find a way...

Or we could just delete it.

(SIGHING)

Great to have you back.
