Oh, my god.

I already see bunny ear filter.

No.

I got a job as a photographer.

How much it pay?

Well, is it really about the money?

Not real job.

I'm taking pictures for a social service agency.

In Tanzania.

They cover room and board But I gotta pay for my flights.

- Sounds like a scam.

- Or vacation.

How long is scam vacation?

Four months.

That's a long time.

Yeah.

In four months, I get married, Pregnant and meet your appa.

Well, not in that order.

Yeah, but it's a great opportunity.

It's gonna be amazing!

Okay, you can go.

- I wasn't asking for your...

- But we miss you.

- Especially in store.

- Maybe we get help.

Find someone who can mop floor better than Janet.

Yeah.

And taller, to clean highest shelf.

I can see you're pretty broken up about it.

Oh, Janet, of course, we gonna be so sad without you.

You're looking at the shelves, aren't you?

So dusty.

Okay.

See you.

Yobo.

How many time I have to ask you to move suck'mmm?

I already say I do it.

Not ask you to say, I ask you to do.

And if you do what I ask, I not have to say.

Hm.

Either way, it's done now.

Oh!

Yobo?

Yobo!

You okay?

Ai.

Suck'mmms break my fall.

I thought you break you neck.

What I do without you?

Oh, yobo.

Don't have to worry.

- Beside, you gonna die first.

- What?

Good deal for you.

You gonna be in heaven, but I'm still here, so lonely.

- Thank god for new neighbour.

- What new neighbour?

After mourning period, I move into fancy condo And upgrade to sleep number bed.

How you afford all that?

Ah, insurance and money I get After I sell all your baseball card.

You gonna sell all my baseball card?

Have to if I want waterfront view.

Sound like you think a lot about you...

After-appa plan.

Just the condo and the pottery class.

Oh, and scuba dive.

What?

You not gonna help me clean up suck'mmms?

- I almost die.

- You suck'mmm.

I can't believe what people charge for rent in this city.

That's why I'm never moving.

Amazing rent and a pool.

You should have a pool party.

- Oh, I have lots of them.

- Oh.

They're selling my building and I can't find anything in my price range.

You should get a roommate.

You save so much money And mine likes to cook, which is great.

Don't you live with your mum?

It's Carol.

She has a name, stacie.

And if you get along, it's awesome.

Someone to laugh with, talk to at the end of the day.

Maybe I should get a roommate.

Works for me.

I'd help you out, but my mom made me sign a ten-year lease.

You mean Carol.

Hey.

Got your text.

Yeah, I was just at the travel clinic.

Thought I'd see if you were around.

So, Tanzania?

That's exciting.

Can't believe all these expensive vaccines and pills.

Think there's any I can skip?

Nah.

You'll need the anti-diarrhea.

Cholera, yellow fever, rabies.

Fun times.

It's not the safest place.

It's good that you're going with someone.

Actually, Nathan and I have parted ways.

So I'll be flying solo.

Not solo solo.

I'm sure there'll be other people on the plane.

That's great, too.

Being on your own.

It would be nice to know one person in the entire country.

In a perfect world.

But it's not a perfect world, as we know, from all the cholera in Tanzania.

And dengue fever.

I better add a sh*t.

But this is an adventure, you know?

Something new.

Don't you ever want to break out of your 9-to-5 job?

I'm an emergency room doctor.

I guess some people need adventure and others like to play it safe.

I just restarted a man's heart.

In Toronto.

Yeah.

Yobo, here you go.

- Maybe I check for poison.

- Don't be silly.

Insurance don't pay out if they think I tricking them.

You know why I make after-appa plan?

Because when you die, I'm gonna be so sad I can't think about anything except how much I miss you.

How much you gonna miss me?

Oh, yobo.

You are my heart.

"Buy boat, sail around world." - You making after-umma plan?

- Uh, maybe.

Who gonna run store when you sailing around the world?

It's just a big picture plan now.

Have to fill in detail later.

What you doing?

Instead of "apartment in blue Jay hotel," you buy bungalow in Brampton.

Mrs.

Ko love Brampton.

Mrs.

Ko?

After mourning period, you marry Mrs.

Ko.

She's pretty, but not too pretty.

And she have a strong arm.

Good for giving you bath.

I don't need bath.

From you or Mrs.

Ko.

You so stress.

That's why you gonna die first.

Man, I love this.

Beer, video games, you and me.

You just hit me with a grenade.

It's funny.

Shannon was talking today about roommates.

That's me.

You're sh**ting at me.

Now you're running around in circles.

Do you think when Shannon was talking about getting a roommate, she meant to say I should be her roommate?

I dunno.

How'd she say it?

"Maybe I should get a 'roommate'." She's definitely feeling you out.

And you are a great roommate.

And I love our lives But we can't just drink beer and play video games forever.

Never the plan.

But I'm listening.

And if this is the next step, then I should take it, right?

Wait.

You moving out?

If that's what I was doing, which I'm not saying I am, Would you be okay with it?

Well, if it's what you want.

Is it what you want?

Definitely.

Yeah.

Then I'm definitely okay with it.

Bring it in?

I mean, I'm not moving out right this second.

Shh.

This is my process.

And my flight is officially...

booked.

No backing out now.

Not that I want to.

But if I did, I can't, so...

I can tell umma and she can start her after-Janet plan.

Her what?

Scuba diving, biking through Italy, glass blowing...

All fun thing you umma doing after I die.

Can you believe?

What's stopping you from doing them with her?

Uh, because I dead, Janet.

No, I mean now.

Why not do this stuff like...

Scuba dive?

While you're both alive.

Take a risk.

Sure, you're scared.

We're all scared, but why should that stop us?

Who say I scared?

But just can't go scuba dive in downtown Toronto, Janet.

If only we lived in a city on a giant lake and beaches everywhere.

I think you late for Tanzania.

Ah!

I'm thinking I might buy a scooter in daegu.

They're easy to drive, right?

I ride a motorbike, so...

Oh.

Dry your mug, Dr.

Danger.

Oh, our rent's going up in August, by the way.

We can cancel the lease.

Neither of us are going to be here.

Right.

Wow.

We probably won't even be roommates again.

Don't say that.

But, um...

- You know, three years, right?

- Yeah.

I don't even notice the stains any more.

- You...

Yeah.

- I mean, that one but...

Remember the time you and Chelsea both thought The purple toothbrush was yours?

Mmm.

It was mine.

- Mmm.

- And...

We'll keep in touch.

Yeah.

I mean, We can still e-mail.

Or text because we're not 40.

I don't know what my cell plan's gonna be like in Korea.

It's more likely I won't have access to e-mail.

You're going, dangerous trip for Dr..

Hey, bum bum.

What's up, you guys?

Oh, we were just talking about canceling the lease.

- Mmm.

I'll talk to the landlord.

- Yeah.

Hey.

So, been putting a lot of thought into this.

You're back on gluten?

No.

I was just thinking that I could be that potential roommate you've been looking for.

Oh.

Wow.

Which is what you were suggesting, right?

Ah, okay.

Ah, no, no, no.

I do want a roommate.

- But, um...

- When you mentioned roommate, you gave me a look and it kinda made me...

No, no, no.

I did.

I know.

You're right.

And I thought about it for a second, But then I was worried it was too much and...

One day, hopefully, but...

You know what?

Actually, the more I think about it, The more it makes sense for us not to be roommates.

Exactly.

Everything is perfect the way it is.

Yeah.

Why mess it up?

Besides, I kinda already have somebody lined up, a friend of Katie's.

Apparently someone super quiet and tidy, so...

Tidy's great.

And-and quiet's the best.

Are you sure?

Are you kidding?

I've never been more sure.

Honestly.

I'm so happy for you.

For us.

Annyeong haseyo, Janet.

You've really got it now.

And how do you say, "I'm hurt"?

What?

Like if you have an accident.

In Korean.

Oh.

I don't know.

Oh, it's fine.

Gerald's amazing at charades.

Why are you avoiding me?

You're ignoring my texts.

You're not responding to my pointed chopping.

There's not much to say.

Well, I have to tell Chelsea.

No.

Don't ruin your relationship over nothing.

So, it was nothing?

No, it wasn't.

I mean, yes, it was.

Then...

Then it doesn't matter if I tell Chelsea.

Gerald.

We're both about to have amazing, life-changing trips.

If this is still bothering you in six months, we can talk about it then.

My heart is saying I need to say something.

Don't listen to your heart.

Listen to me right now.

Hey, guys.

Look who I found, huh?

- Hey.

- So, I was thinking about what you said, About adventure and travel, and you're right.

I made a few calls and my buddy at red cross Says they're looking for volunteer physicians.

In Tanzania.

- Oh, my god.

- Uh, wow.

- For how long?

- A month.

And I'm right nearby.

I think.

I really don't know the country at all.

That's amazing.

I mean, I was perfectly fine going on my own, but this is good, too.

It's so romantic.

Is it?

Well, it's not, right?

We're going more as friends.

Sure.

But then the hostel only has one bed, Or the b&b only takes couples...

I feel like a good travel agent can skirt those problems.

Don't be such a grouch.

Things can happen between friends, Even when they're not planning on it.

Guilty.

We should go celebrate.

Oh.

You kidding?

The celebration's already here.

Oh.

Perfect.

Sure.

You like champagne.

Right, Gerald?

- Who's up for euchre?

- I'm in.

Man sae.

- What does that mean?

- I don't know.

Welcome, everyone.

You sure he's qualify?

No, but very cheap.

I'm Dylan, your instructor.

I'm yong-mi, you student.

And this is my dream come true.

Love the enthusiasm, yummy.

It's yong-mi.

And I am Mr.

Kim.

Great.

As you can see, it's never too late to come to "the dive." I teach people well into their 70s.

I'm not in my 70.

That's the spirit.

Okay, masks on, check your gear.

Let's go.

Thank you for coming, yobo.

Yeah.

It's, ah...

Fun.

You okay there, big guy?

Suit is little...

Too little.

Ah, hard to breathe.

Maybe I need a bigger size?

No, no.

You insisted on a medium.

Yobo?

Everything okay?

Just low down your breathing, breathe into a bag, or something.

Okay, check your regs.

Yobo?

Yobo?

Yobo!

Oh, boy.


Got a medical emergency.

Asian male.

Mid-70s.

This time it wasn't my fault, okay?

Ai.

Yobo.

So we considered it, but then we're like, "things are already perfect.

Why mess it up?" Wait.

So, you're not moving in with Shannon?

Because you were psyched about it earlier.

I'm just not ready to give up the bro-Jo, you know?

What's a bro-Jo?

Dojo for bros.

I feel like the rhyme made that pretty clear.

Hey!

Trip number one.

Wasn't planning on moving everything now, But my landlord started stealing again.

She packs a lot for an overnight.

What's going on?

Okay, so you said you were moving in with Shannon, and I thought...

Well, Gwen and I have been dating longer.

It only makes sense.

Wait.

She's moving in?

I told her I had a free room and if she needed some space, - So...

I guess she does.

- I'm back.

- Are you?

- Yeah.

- But are you?

- Yes.

- Are you?

- Dude!

Wow.

It's so great to be out of a basement.

Actual windows.

Who knew.

Yeah.

You see a lot of people peeing in the park, though, so...

I'll probably just look away from that.

Anyway, you and Shannon.

- Yeah!

- That's exciting.

- Can we have a sec?

- Sure.

So, I just wanted to get you caught up on something...

Gwen's totally cool with us all living here.

Doesn't look like it.

Oh, I didn't think you could see us because of the sun.

I think it works the other way around.

Anyway, it's all good.

Is she coming back inside?

Hopefully.

Leading with a heart.

- Very Janet.

- Kinda had to.

Guess we're going to have to just keep following Janet's heart, but not our own.

- He's joking.

- Am I?

Yas!

Should've gone alone.

Oh, I mean, maybe we should switch up partners?

I might actually win a game.

How about me and Janet?

We've already started, why not just stick with this.

- I can give you a reason.

- Hey.

How 'bout a toast?

I'll do it since I'm standing.

Um...

Here's to our trips and the people we're traveling with.

And a special toast to my good friend, Gerald.

Through four years at ocad And three years at this apartment, We've built such a great friendship.

And even though we're going our separate ways, The best moments of our friendship are still to come.

- Cheers.

- I have to say something.

I think I covered all the bases.

I...

I want to...

I want to wish you and Raj a great trip.

I hope it's full of all the kind of happiness that we dream about.

Nice job, bum bum.

And while we're all pouring our hearts out...

Raj, one time, Janet and I kissed.

But it meant nothing.

Wink.

Okay.

Well, cheers.

Tthey make this bed all wrong.

You want me to get out so you can fix?

No.

Yes, but no.

You take good care of me, yobo.

This is all my fault.

I should never make a list.

List is good.

But, uh, you not getting my baseball card.

I taking those with me.

Good news.

There's no sign of concussion.

That's because he have such hard head.

I mean that as compliment.

Just rest your wrist.

That racooning should go away in a few days.

- Hmm.

- Just sign here and you're good to go.

Oh.

So clumsy.

- There you go.

- Thank you.

Does that happen a lot?

No, just silly pen.

So no clumsiness or balance issues?

Well, you fall in store.

Oh, I just trip.

It's nothing.

Sometimes even leg go numb from standing so long time.

You not tell me this.

Nothing to tell.

Just part of getting older.

Still, I'd like to run a few tests.

Just to be on the safe side.

Hi there.

Is Shannon around?

Ah, she's in a meeting.

Can I take a message?

Kwami.

What's going on?

You forgot this in the kitchen.

Oops.

Butter brain.

I was running around like a maniac.

And I used up all the hot water.

And I turned on the sink and heard you scream.

- I was singing.

- Oh.

Is there a difference?

Oh.

Did you meet jung?

Isn't he great?

Isn't he great?

So, you're Shannon's roommate?

I forgot y'all call it "roommate" here.

It's funny because it's not like we're sharing a room.

Nah.

Kitchen, sitting-room, bathroom.

Anyway, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other.

- Yeah.

'Kay, see you, roomie.
