With an attachment called "nighty-night"?

Ah, man.

Am I stuck on nights again?

Why are you chasing me?

Ugh.

Well, I do a pick up for wife, And only take five minutes.

Mm.

Kwami?

Are you here for the chocolate-covered fruit?

Because I owe you some chocolate.

No, janet kim.

Oh, shannon's friend!

Would you like some fruit?

I'm fine.

And I just wanna be upfront That I am meeting with other people.

Yeah, great!

Development agencies and stuff.

Shouldn't name names.

You don't have to.

So, shannon tells me you studied photography.

Yeah.

Feels like a lifetime ago.

Have a seat.

Now I'm more focused on social justice, Environmental policy.

Internationally, in the developing world.

Oh, got you.

How would you feel About running a youth photography program?

Or how about a series of lectures On tanzania...

Oh, my experience there!

How we can help.

We're more focused on helping kids around here.

Ah.

I hear ya.

Well, it was nice meeting you.

Oh.

Okay.

Thanks for stoppin' by.

No problem!

And good luck with the auction.

Yeah, we had it already.

Hey!

Hey.

Good shift?

The best.

I still think it's funny That you're working here again.

Keeps me from being broke, so.

Sorry I haven't been around much since I got back.

Uh, job hunting and all.

I've been crazy busy!

Yeah, me too.

So, about what happened, You know, before our trips, with us.

Yeah.

Your friendship means a lot to me.

You mean a lot to me And I don't want to lose that, you know?

Totally.

I mean, in korea I had a lot of time To think about it and I was like, ugh!

Oh, okay.

Not that I regret what happened or anything, It's just, I completely agree.

Friends, 100%.

Oh.

So does chelsea.

You told her?

Yeah.

To be honest, I was a little worried That you might still be into me.

I was actually worried you took this job Just to get closer to me.

That's funny.

And I'm sure you'll find something career-wise soon.

Oh.

No, I have.

I've got an internship with marianne wend at her studio.

That's...

Incredible.

Yeah.

Look at us, both getting our dream jobs.

I mean, mine's not official yet, But interview's tomorrow.

So, I better get prepped.

Oh.

Chelsea says, uh, "lulz", by the way.

"keep your hands off my man.

Giggle giggle." That means she's kidding.

I got that!

So, was it like a...

Boudoir video?

I guess.

But how did you...

My god, you didn't delete it?

No.

I did when she asked, But I'd already seen it by then.

I mean, you start something like that, You gotta finish.

And?

How was it?

Kinda what you'd expect from shannon.

Odd, kinda goofy.

I feel so bad for her!

I know.

The worst part is, probably still in my trash.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Gwen!

Ah, mr.

Kim!

You appear to be suffering from a fake limp.

Aeecham!

How you can tell it's a fake?

No pained expression on your face.

Well, no new pained expression on your face.


Yeah, it's very hard to pretend.

You know, Some actors use tricks to appear more convincing.

A little lemon juice in the eyes for tears.

A pinch of the thigh for surprise-ooh!

Ah, very good!

Ah, I'm not even warmed up.

So, I put something in the shoe To make a fake limp real!

Either that Or dredge up deep, psychological trauma And localize it entirely in the foot.

Like a jawbreaker candy!

Or the time your wife's family Made you choose between entertaining the world And a down payment on a buffet restaurant.

Very uncomfortable.

But we make our choices.

Hey, that's not bad.

Agh.

Hurts too much!

Maybe I get something smaller.

First rule of acting- always go bigger.

Let the director pull you back.

Hey, carol!

I thought you might be calling.

I really felt we clicked this morning.

No.

I guess I didn't technically work there.

More like volunteered.

No...

no.

I get why they might not have heard of me there either.

Write the résumé you want to have, right?

No, that's true.

I don't have a ton of experience but...

Well, if there's any kind of waiting list...

Okay.

Bye.

Janet?

You have a moment?

Sure.

Okay.

I just gonna come out and say...

I didn't get the job.

What?

They said I was totally unqualified.

Sure, I embellished my résumé but who doesn't?

And I already blew off another job with shannon's friend And now gerald's working with marianne wend!

Oh, come here!

Oh, janet, oh!

Don't worry.

It sound bad, but, uh, Probably just stay like this for long time.

What?

Janet didn't get the job!

Oh.

Yeah.

I just mean weather outside just stay like this for long time.

Sometimes no time is right time.

Agh!

What?

Nothing.

Hey.

Do you have a sec to join me in the garage?

There's an issue with the return.

Uh, yeah!

I...

I will be there in two minutes and 17 seconds.

Precise.

I like it.

Hey there, hard hat.

Time for an on-site inspection.

Oh, what's this?

A pressurized container?

Oh, no!

Now it's leaking!

Everywhere!

Oh, I hear foam insulation can be pretty tasty.

Here comes the chocolate sauce.

Okay.

Hello!

Let me just start by saying That that was just a funny video from jung.

It sounded like p*rn.

Well, it wasn't.

It was just...

A funny skit that jung sent me Of him pretending to be a construction supervisor.

Why'd he send it?

'cause I sent him a skit of me being a construction...

Worker, okay?

Like, a p*rn skit?

No, omar, no!

No.

That was you in that video?

I thought that woman was like, in her fifties.

Thank you, terence!

It was my first video and you learn a lot About lighting and camera angles.

Wait-has everyone seen the video?

But the storyline was on point.

I mean, jung starts out as the new guy, That works his way up to site supervisor?

Didn't see that coming.

I mean, how he worked his way up Is bit unconventional, but who are we to judge?

I thought it was playfully seductive.

Really?

Sure!

You put yourself out there.

No shame in that.

Thank you, stacie.

Okay.

If you need kimchee and I, We will be in the garage.

With the door open.

So, am I the only one who didn't see it?

You didn't miss much.

And I still haven't seen the schedule.

Excuse me, sir?

I can help you with those.

Okay, thank you.

No sense in pushing yourself.

That's my car.

Hey there.

Janet.

Can I interest you in 12 bottles of maple syrup?

Actually, I was just hoping to follow up on our interview.

You mean the one you walked out of.

I may have given you mixed messages.

No, you were very clear.

Shannon blamed me, by the way.

I'm not allowed to use her bath products for a month.

I'm so sorry.

But I will gladly lead a youth photography program.

To be honest, I don't think we have the budget.

I could do it for free.

I need this.

Let me put it on the schedule, See if people sign up, and we'll take it from there.

Really?

Yeah.

Be great to see these kids do more than take selfies.

Thank you!

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

And I know I said I'd do it for free But if you do find extra money in the budget...

I won't.

Perfect!

Probably better this way.

I can't believe you put a stone inside your shoe Just to use the special parking pass.

Not a stone.

Jawbreaker.

And now you have a stress fracture.

It's a real stress fracture!

Very purple.

And smell like grape.

Hey, umma.

Oh!

Hi, janet.

How was your day?

Really good.

Appa, what happened?

Stress fracture in the heel.

In two weeks he fine.

Are you okay?

Yeah, fine.

Could be so much worse.

So, janet...

Yobo?

Yeah, I go get the tea.

You two have good chat.

Sit!

I'll get the tea.

Janet, let appa get the tea.

He can barely walk!

It's okay.

Yobo, go.

Umma, what's your problem?

Ah, funny that you ask...

Appa's clearly struggling And you're just standing there like...

Janet, you don't understand.

You see, I have...

Multiple sclerosis!

What?

Multiple sclerosis.

You have ms?

No.

Umma have.

I can't believe all this time You want me to tell then you tell!

I only tell because you don't tell!

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I would've come back!

That's why I didn't tell you.

Are...

are you in pain?

No.

No, I'm okay.

It's okay.

Everything gonna be okay.

Umma!

Oh, janet!

Don't worry.

Doctors say it's not getting worse.

Hmm?

Everything gonna be fine.

Okay.

I go get the tea.

But, uh, could be gone long time.

Very slow with the injury.

Doctor say, "don't be hero." Less talking.

More walking.
