[bunniefuu]

Then United Nations get involve

and push North Korea army all the way to China,

who then, with secret help from Soviet Union, push back.

Wow.

I had no idea the Korean w*r was so intense!

Eventually, w*r end at the starting point, th parallel.

Back where you started, like my attempts to quit shortbread.

Lesson is, never poke fat dragon.

Well, I certainly don't appreciate that comparison!

Not you.

China.

Look.

See map?

China look like a fat dragon.

Here is head, this is a body.

Ooh, yeah!

Does kind of look like a fat dragon.

Or a rooster.

People say Japan look like a skinny dragon, like a snake.

With Korea right in the middle, like a cute little bunny rabbit.

What?

Well, with the ears kinda hanging out of the mouth of the fat dragon.

No.

Korea look like a tiger.

See?

Here is body, mouth, claw.

Head is back.

You mean behind the rabbit?

What you talking?

Here, look.

See?

Fighting tiger spirit.

Well, that looks like a tiger because the artist drew it like a tiger.

But it's a very un-tigerlike position.

You un-tigerlike position!

Now, you see, Mr.

Kim, this is exactly the kind of disagreement that leads to wars- failure to see it from the other side.

You can see tiger?

Sure!

Can you see a rabbit?

(SIGHING)

Okay, okay, kinda like a rabbit.

See?

Wild jackrabbit with muscle, sharp teeth, and strong tiger claw!

Perhaps w*r is inevitable.

♪ (SHOP BELL DINGING)

Yeah.

Yeah.

Next Wednesday?

That should work.

Okay...

Nice shirt.

- To match nice eyes.

- See you then.

Ah, An-nyung-hasae-yo...

_ That's all the Korean I know.

My gomo said you needed an estimate on some brickwork?

Oh!

Oh, your gomo is In-Kyung?

Uh, yes.

Gogi gomo.

And you go to same church as her?

Every Sunday.

I'm part of the worship team.

I like your shirt.

Name tag look really good.

Your girlfriend like that?

No girlfriend right now.

Too busy trying to get my business off the ground.

Janet?

It's basement and outside the store.

I do some work already.

Almost finished, but Mrs. Kim want a professional to do touch-up.

Sure.

What?

Vince needs you.

Who?

Vince!

Hi.

Vince is here to give estimate, so whatever he need, you do.

I really just need someone to show me to the basement.

Why couldn't you show him?

(CHUCKLING)

She so funny.

And usually look much better.

Oh my God.

Basement's this way.

Careful.

Stair used to be broken.

I also fix already.

- Maybe still need a touch-up.

- Okay.

_ I'm all out of protein blend.

Want anything from the blend guy?

No, I'm good.

But if you're passing by your parents' place, could you take these persimmons, pretty please?

Oh, PER-Simmons.

No, it's per-SIM-Mons.

The em-PHA-sis is on the second syl-LAB-le.

No, I mean why did you get these?

Just a little gift.

Oh, whose birthday is it?

No birthday.

I was just at the market and I saw the persimmons and I thought of that super cute story of you and your dad eating them at the store when you were a kid.

Aww!

Mm.

What?

My family isn't so into spontaneous gifts.

I just thought it was nice, thoughtful.

You know what?

It is thoughtful.

I'm overthinking it.

I'll take 'em.

But if it makes you uncomfortable.

No, it's fine.

They'll love your gift.

Our gift.

My little persimmon.

PER-simmon.

Oh.

Did Vince leave already?

He's still outside.

But I told him to yell when he's done so we can go to Niagara Falls and get married.

Don't joke, Janet.

Niagara Falls is too old-fashioned.

Agh!

I can't believe you just threw me at some random guy like that.

He's not just random guy.

He's Bince.

It's not "Bince", it's Vince!

See, you already know him so well.

At least go and stay with him until he finish and get estimate.

Ugh, stop matchmaking me!

I'm not matchmaking you!

Just because he's cool, Christian, Korean boy.

What's big deal?

I admit he's cute, but I'm not interested, okay?

Doesn't mean you have to be rude.

- (SIGHING)

- You didn't even say hi.

Anyway, maybe it's good to wait.

First we see how much Korean discount he give to us.

Just because we're Korean doesn't mean we're getting a discount.

Of course we're getting discount.

Korean people take care of other Korean people, even when some Korean people don't say hi to other Korean people.

Don't forget to get the estimate and uh, try not to have a grouchy face.

I'm fine.

Don't.

You leaving in leave-in conditioner?

Yes!

Oh.

♪ Okay!

I think we've covered everything we love about le Stacie.

- She's the best.

- But performance reviews are also about being honest with our employees about areas that they can improve.

Totally.

I was just gettin' to that.

Is Stacie too likeable?

Does she care too much?

She's been coming in late recently.

Yeah, I guess, but just the past few weeks.

I know, and it's not a big deal, but it's good practice for you.

It's not easy giving criticism when you're also friends.

Yo, did Stacie say we're friends?

I know we are but I've never heard her say it.

I like being like too, but as manager you have to be tough.

Otherwise the Stacies show up later and later and the Omars eat more and more of your lunch.

I get it.

I'll support whatever you say to Stacie.

Or I'll even say it myself.

Out of curiosity, how'd you get Omar to stop eating your lunch?

Oh, he hates shellfish.

So, you eat shellfish every day now?

I just put a label on my lunch that reads shrimp or scampi or lobster or crab or mussels or oysters...

I get it.

You're from Nova Scotia.

Oh, Jung.

Hey, Appa.

Can't stay.

I'm just dropping these off.

What's this?

Oh, just some fruit.

Whose birthday?

No one's.

Just thought you'd like it, I guess.

Everything okay?

Yeah!

You?

- Yeah!

- Good.

I like your shirt.

Oh!

Shirt Emporium.

It's nice.

Uh, I like the name tag.

And uh, comfortable too.

And look good and still good to work hard in.

Cool!

Well, I should probably go.

- Okay.

- Yeah, tell Umma I say hi.

Okay.

See you.

Anyway, blah-blah-blah, we love you.

The customers love you.

You're the best, but enough of that.

Stop talkin', Shannon.

(LAUGHING)

No!

Please.

(CHUCKLING)

But the truth is, even our best employees have things they can work on.

Right, Kimchee?

Absolutely!

No one's perfect, but you come real close.

So, be more perfect?

(CHUCKLING)

Got it.

(LAUGHING)

Right.

It's just that, there's a thing with like, schedules and time and well...

you know, you work so hard, Stacie, and you're great, but...

- Did I do something wrong?

- What?

No!

It's just a pattern.

One that has been observed recently.

Shannon?

We just wanna discuss some recent lateness.

Talkin' minor, insignificant lateness.

Who cares, right?

We recognize you've never been late before but lately, it's... it's become more of an issue.

Yeah, it's just a lot going on right now.

Totally normal!

Happens to us all.

It's just a few too many times.

I think what Shannon's trying to say is that if it's cool with you, she just wants you to work on it.

- Thanks!

- You got it, boss.

You're a boss too.

Big difference between "a" boss and "the" boss though, right, boss?

Sure.

I'll work on it.

Is that all?

Yep.

Go on, get outta here, you!

What was that?

I'm sorry!

I tried.

I'm not good at pointing out people's weaknesses and being negative.

How do you do it so well?

It's not about being negative.

We have to be honest, that's part of our job.

And if we don't do our job, they can't do theirs.

You're right!

Being a manager is harder than it seems.

Yeah, it's the worst!

And the best.

(SIGHING)

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, is your Umma around?

I've got the estimate.

What's the damage?

You mean the damage Appa caused, or...?

- (CHUCKLING)

- Just kidding.

Oh, wow.

That's a lot of money.

I know, but I swear it's pretty standard.

Right.

Is this with or without the Korean discount?

Kidding!

I was just kidding!

(NERVOUS CHUCKLING)

No, that's fair.

Uh, yeah!

- No.

- Sure, we can do that.

Uh, say, %?

Really?

You don't have to.

I mean, that means a lot, but...

Sure!

Why not?

I can swing it.

Well, gamsahabnida.

A-ni-ae-yo.

- (CHUCKLING)

- Um...

Well, I guess I'll...

I was gonna say I'll see you soon but I guess that's really up to you.

Uh, more up to my dad's repair budget.

- Oh.

- (CHUCKLING)

- But, bye for now?

- That works.

See ya.

(CHATTER)

Appa?

What brings you here?

(NERVOUS CHUCKLING)

Nothing.

Just in the neighbourhood.

- And I find this.

- Oh!

You're giving me your shirt?

No, it's a new one.

You said you like so much.

Yeah.

You don't like so much.

Oh, it's not that, it's just...

I understand.

It's not your style.

It's okay.

I...

Oh, no-no-no, I like it.

I like it.

It's nice.

Thank you.

TERENCE: Hold up!

Shirt Emporium?

You have good taste!

Thank you.

You gonna try it on?

Oh, I wish I could but I got a lot of work.

Then can I try it on?

No one's trying it on, Terence.

I like him.

Yeah, people tend to at first.

Good job, Janet!

Thanks.

For what?

Getting big discount from Vince.

You mean the Korean discount?

Oh, Korean discount is five, maybe ten percent?

Vince give us %!

So?

Oh, % is Janet working it discount.

Good job!

Eww!

I wasn't working anything.

Yeah, okay.

I was being nice!

Vince was being nice.

Two people can be nice to each other and it not mean anything.

Mmm.

I call Vince.

He's coming now.

Good work, Janet.

I didn't do anything!

Yeah, just like I didn't do anything to brick around window.

Oh, yobo, go clean up before church, huh?

Why?

We just moving boxes.

Still have to look good.

Ugh!

If Janet can work it for Vince, you can work it for the Jesus.

I didn't...

(GROANING)

What's her problem?

I never get % discount.

Yeah, that's because you don't know how to work it!

I know how to work it.

Oh?

(HUMMING DANCE b*at)

Yeah, % off.

- Hey.

- Hey, Junga-wumba.

We haven't scheduled your review yet, you'll have to wait.

But brace yourself, 'cause we're gonna tear you a new one!

- Okay, too much, but better.

- Okay.

Speaking of, Stacie's pretty upset.

- SHANNON: Oh?

- Was it me or Shannon?

No, her dad had some sort of accident at work and she's been at home helping him.

Wow.

We did not know that.

Well, I didn't know that.

Oh my God, I feel so bad!

You feel bad?

She's finally said we're friends.

I'll talk to her.

Okay.

I gotta go.

Not till your shift's done, buddy!

His shift is done, but I appreciate the effort.

Oh, I have to do that thing for my Umma at church so I'll be home a little later.

Ooh, you...

left this here.

You should wear it.

You might see your dad.

I'm not putting that shirt on.

KIMCHEE: It's nice!

Come on.

It'll just be this one time.

It'll make him happy, and then you'll never have to wear it again.

And it's gonna look cute.

(GIGGLING)

Aww.

What were we talking about?

Oh, Stacie!

Oh my God, I feel so bad for Stacie.

Hey!

Ready to go, Umma?

Oh, hi, Jung!

Nice shirt!

Oh, yeah.

Thanks.

Yobo, did you give him that?

I drop by the other day.

No big deal.

Wait.

I have good idea.

Oh, no.

We really should get going.

APPA: So, it fit good?

I get you small size because I know you need a tight fit.

I don't need a tight fit.

I wear a normal size for my build in the style that is currently in fashion.

Here.

Oh, yobo.

We can't wear same shirt.

(CHUCKLING)

Yeah, that's a bit much.

I take a picture.

APPA: Look like twins!

I don't think we have time for this.

Jung, take off jacket.

No, I'm okay.

Yobo, he don't have time for this.

Ppalli, ppalli!

Ah.

Two, three!

(SHUTTER SNAPPING)

Okay let's go, Umma.

Those boxes won't move themselves.

Oh, Appa is going with you.

What?

Okay, let's go.

You sure you don't wanna get changed?

I don't have time.

Have to hurry!

Hurry.

(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey.

Sorry, I just need to get something.

Yeah, no worries.

Thanks for all the great work, by the way.

And for being so professional about everything.

No problem.

And sorry if my parents are making things weird.

Heh.

You know what?

I get it.

Totally understand.

I have Korean parents myself.

No way!

What are you taking for it?

(CHUCKLING)

Um, cool photos, by the way.

Tanzania?

Good guess.

I was there on a trip with my church.

I really miss it.

Small world.

I have more pics on my Instagram if you wanna check it out.

What's your IG?

Or how about I give you my number and we can check out your pics over coffee or something sometime?

(WHISPERING)

Oh.

Uh, unless...

I'm...

I'm so sorry.

I thought we were...

No!

That's fine.

I'm kinda doing my own thing right now.

But I think you're really nice.

Which is why I was being nice, but no other reason.

Super clear!

Sorry, I still need to get my charger.

Oh, yeah, sure.

No, go ahead.

- Oh!

- Right behind you.

Thanks!

Stacie, oh, Stacie-Stacie-Stacie-Stacie!

Stacie, you know that this is a safe space, right?

I do.

I should have told you what's been going on.

Being on time, very important.

But not as important as your loved ones, especially if those loved ones are going through...

stuff.

Stuff.

We all have stuff.

I know I definitely do.

(CHUCKLING)

Sometimes there's so much stuff I feel like I'm gonna lose it, you know?

Snap like a twig.

This is a safe space for you too, if you wanna talk.

I'm fine.

I just...

I just wanted to reach out and show you that I'm tough but I'm understanding and you can talk to me about anything.

If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, just get your face on this bad boy.

(CHUCKLING)

Thanks, but I'm good.

Kimchee was great.

We talked a lot about my dad.

Uh, Kimchee?

Yeah, he pulled me aside earlier.

You two really are great managers.

Aw, that is so nice!

Uh, what...

what...

what did Kimchee have to say?

He apologized for you being so hard on me, but I understand why you were, and said I could take the time I need.

What a guy.

- I know, right?

- Yeah.

I guess we didn't really need to do all this over again, but thank you.

Hey, what are you doing?

Put your phone away and get helping.

Whatever.

Excuse me?

Sorry 'bout that.

Oh, no problem.

APPA: Don't be sorry.

That's my son.

Not always easy.

You guys seem to be doing all right.

- (CHUCKLING)

- Nice shirts!

APPA: Oh, yeah.

He give to me present, I give to him present.

That's how it go.

Ah, it's a bit itchy, but okay.

I wish I had your parenting secret.

No secret.

Just hard work.

I'm Leo, by the way.

I'm Sang Il, and this is my son Jung.

Jung, say hi to Leo.

It's nice to meet you.

You guys a father and son moving company?

(LAUGHING)

Oh, no.

But could be!

Oh, it really couldn't.

Appa & Son, you need moving, we need work!

(LAUGHING)

Hey.

(SUPPRESSED GIGGLING)

Jung, put the shirt back on, huh?

But I'm hot.

Stop show off in front of girls and have respect for the Jesus.

Relax.

I'll put it on later.

(CHUCKLING)

What's your problem?

I'm hot and I hate the stupid shirt!

He's trying to make us seem like the perfect father and son.

We're not, okay?

And I didn't even get you the persimmons.

Shannon did.

(SIGHING)

See?

We're no better than you and your bratty kid.

Sorry.

No.

That's fair.

So, this customer brought back a car with a baby seat but we didn't rent her a baby seat.

- Is the baby still in it?

- Nn-mm.

Good, 'cause the paperwork for that is a nightmare.

Omar, check the label.

Man, what is with everyone and shellfish lately?

Think that's for you.

Do you want to take something?

Drink?

Chip?

No thank you, Mrs.

Kim.

Here you go.

That's the total?

Yes.

(CHUCKLING)

Lot more than estimate.

(AWKWARD CHUCKLING)

What?

Wow!

You're a real piece of work.

- Sorry?

- Uh, Janet...

He asked me out, I said no.

So, now he jacked up the price.

- Classy.

- Yeah, that's not what happened.

He asked you out and you say no?

And I'm glad I did because he's a creep!

Oh, he's not creep, Janet!

Then why did he jack up the price?

Because I asked him to fix all thing Appa break, see?

"Refix Appa fix." You really shouldn't let him touch anything structural.

So, I should apologize.

It's fine.

Look, I'm gonna go.

I've gotta get to my next job.

Didn't make a lot on this one.

I send you cheque.

Please say hi to your gomo for me.

Ahn young hee gae sae yo.

I'm sorry I said you were a creep.

Vince?

- (DOORBELL RINGING)

- Vince!

You miss your chance, Janet.

Now you just look desperate.

Again, so sorry about everything you're going through.

We are officially striking our comments from the record.

(WHISPERING)

Bye-bye.

Starting over.

Clean slate.

I appreciate it, but it won't happen again.

That's great!

But you never know.

If anything happens, we're here for you.

Thanks!

Anything else?

Kimchee?

Yes.

Shannon feels...

Mm, try again.

In your initial performance evaluation, I might have underperformed in my duty to address your punctuality.

Which, again, totally fine now.

And though well intentioned, I might have undercut Shannon in my apologizing to you on her behalf.

Again, so sorry for everything.

You are so strong.

We love you.

What is this?

It's nothing.

Kimchee's just learning how to be tougher and more direct as a manager in evaluations.

Who's he evaluating?

Himself.

He's almost done.

You don't have to stay.

It's totally up to you.

Oh, I got nowhere to be.

Continue.

(DOOR OPENING)

(SIGHING)

Appa, I uh...

I may have overreacted about the shirt.

It's okay.

You don't have to like shirt.

No, no, it's not even about the shirt.

I guess I just felt weird about it all.

You know?

Everything was so...

Nice.

Yeah.

I only nice because you is nice.

I really do like the shirt though.

Can I have it back?

Actually, I think maybe I can still return for refund.

(CHUCKLING)

I don't know.

It's pretty ripe.

Say thank you to Miss Shannon.

I will.

How she know I like gham?

Oh, I told her about how we used to eat them in the store when I was a kid.

You remember when I use a straw?

- To eat the persimmon?

- Yeah.

Like a smoothie.

Huh?

(SUCKING NOISE)

Yeah, you think I'm a superhero.

Really?

Yeah, look at the mouth.

Super strong suck power.

(SUCKING LOUDLY)

Okay, please stop doing that.

What?

(SUCKING)

Oh, my god and then what happened?

Nothing, that's it.

Oh, no.

Then he asked how you knew he liked persimmons.

- What did you say?

- What I just told you.

I am dying, you two are the cutest!

Did you not listen to anything I just said?

Uh, I was only hanging onto every word.

Are you kidding me?

This whole story's about me being mad at you!

For what?

For forcing me to give him persimmons and then making things all weird between us again.

Blah-blah-blah, all I'm hearing is "Thank you, Shannon.

"You made me talk to my dad and that's a good thing!" And it's per-SIM-Mons.

No, it's not.

(WHISPERING)

It is.
