♪♪

Yeah, I was just going over
to his place tonight.

We're gonna netflix and chill.

- Thank you.
- Okay. See you.

- I know.
- So, are we still on

for backgammon tonight?

Or maybe, instead, you and me,
we can netflix and chill.

- What?
- Yeah, watch a netflix movie and chill.

You see the fugitive?

Mr. Kim.

"Netflix and chill"
does not mean watch a movie.



Yeah, netflix is stream movie.

It's code for
the bedroom rodeo.

Buttering the biscuit.

The beast with two backs.

- Sex.
- No!

It's a very popular euphemism,
if I understand correctly.

I think it's a meme.

- Yo, umma!
- Uh?

What's "netflix and chill"?

Sex.

- How you know that?
- Everybody know that.

I don't know that.

You is old.
Young people talk,

I listen, I learn.



And I told her.

You is old, too!

- What's a "meme"?
- Hmm?

Season 02 Episode 01
Title: " Janet's Roommate"

So, I'm thinking we can do
a sea foam green.

With an apocalypse sunrise
for the accent wall.

- Accent wall?
- Just don't buy too much.

Remember to give us phone
number for new apartment.

You've got my cell number.

Not a cell number,
home number.

We're getting a home phone?

I don't think they
make those anymore.

Yeah, for calling home.

You could just text me.

I don't want to text you,
I want to talk to you.

You could wait until
I come to work every day.

You know, someone called
my phone the other day.

- I freaked.
- Who was it?

I didn't answer. What kind
of weirdo calls people?

- I think that was me.
- Can we just

pick out ome things for our place?

- Is that okay, appa?
- Hmm.

I don't know. Text me,
I'll get back to you.

Morning.

Good, thanks. You?

- Dude.
- I know.

- Get it together.
- It's together.

Hey, what do you think
those boots say?

"I'm not a vegetarian."

I think she broke up
with Alejandro.

Fresh look, fresh start.

The time has Jung.

- Stop saying that.
- You love it.

Hey, Jung,
are you free Friday night?

Uh... maybe.
What did you have in mind?

There's this great new rooftop
restaurant downtown,

impossible to get into,
amazing tapas...

Oh, I love
those little guys.

Same! Anyway,

Alejandro somehow got
a Friday night reservation.

For three?

Funny.
So, can you close for me?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Thank you.
You're the best!

Nice boots, by the way.

Oh, thanks.
They're from Spain.

Alejandro has a hook-up.

He has so many hook-ups,
he's hooked up with everybody.

Jung/shannon doomsday clock
moved one minute closer

- to midnight.
- What?

You gotta make a move.
And soon.

Man, she's with Alejandro.

How with?
Is he on her screensaver?

Does she say "we" did
something this weekend?

Do her eyes light up
when she sees him?

What are you doing?

Lighting up my eyes.

You look scared.

Love is scary.
Get used to it.

♪♪

Why are the cans so small?

They're testers.
To test paint on at home.

But they're all
the same color.

- Thought it'd be cheaper.
- And is it?

No. Not at all, actually.

Hey.

Hey. Check this out.

Shower curtains.

I think those
are just curtains.

Oh...

Still works.

Yeah. I don't think
I can do this.

Fine, we'll get
shower curtains.

No, the apartment.

What do you mean?

Second year's
just so expensive,

and I didn't even
think about things

like hydro, or food,
or Internet,

and the home phone.

So, it is happening?

We're not getting
a home phone.

And if you guys are mad
at me, I get it.

No, we're not mad.

I mean,
it is super last minute.

And we can't really afford it
without you.

And some of us don't have
any other options.

And now,
we're homeless people.

Right.
And I know it sucks.

But it just feels so good

for me to get this
off my chest.

- Great!
- Yeah.

I have been wanting to say
something for weeks.

Weeks.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks for taking the
time to talk to me, Shannon.

I've been thinking about
a lot of things lately.

Thinking about you...

And me.

I like you.

Agh! I...

I like, like you.

I like you.

I like you. I like you.

What's the matter, Terence?

Guy can't practice
a love speech by himself?

It's just... there's a family
waiting for the car.

So what?
Are they dying?

I didn't ask.

I want to
take you on a date.

Special guest, big towel.

Thanks, Mrs. Kim.

I-I-I really appreciate
you guys putting me up.

But don't go in
the medicine cabinet.

- Yeah, he's really interested in,
- Okay.

- Your Berry-flavored tums.
- And don't use my shampoo.

You use sham...

I mean, for sure.

And, Gerald,
if you need snack,

just take from store.

Or you can ask
Janet to make.

- I'm not making you anything.
- Yeah, I know.

Why you give to him big towel?

Appa, Gerald is homeless.
We have to help.

Janet is supposed
to be moving out,

not Gerald moving in.

- Cramp style.
- What style?

Empty-nest style, uh?
Kids all gone.

We can have cozy time anytime.

Morning, afternoon,

even between national
and local news.

Cozy time can wait.

And only temporary until
they find a new roommate.

And you know, sometime,

you can have cozy time
before and after local news.

No, only one.
Have to choose.

Hey.

Just filing my files...
In the filing cabinet.

Sounds about right.

Hey, look at those cuties.

Oh! My cousins?

Uh, those were cats before.

I should put up
some new pictures.

We got some great ones
at the cottage.

"We"?

Me and my cousins.
They're hilarious.

Cool.

Hey, here's something else
that you might find

kind of funny.

Or hopefully not.
But, uh... the...

Okay.

I've been thinking a lot
about a lot of things lately.

- And...
- Found one.

Oh, thank you so much.

No problem.

Do you need a ruler?

No.

Good. 'Cause it took me
all morning to find that one.

So, as I was saying...

Sorry, could this wait?

I just remembered

I have to make
a super important phone call.

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. Carol.

I'm so sorry
I didn't call you sooner.

It says this apartment
is "unique."

What do you think that means?

I think it means there's
a toilet in the living room.

Okay.

Uh... oh!

"New carpets, minutes
to subway, very intimate."

It's a little expensive.

You know I licked that.

Um. Good. Thank you.

You're disgusting.

Thank you. Yeah.

"Fully furnished."
This one's fully furnished.

"Open concept loft,
queen bed frame included."

What about this one?

"Cozy one bedroom plus den,"

"perfect for couple,
hardwood's throughout..."

Stop! What you doing?

- Looking for a place.
- Just the two of you?

We couldn't find
another roommate.

So, now, I have no choice
but to live with Gerald.

You don't need
to say it like that.

You move in with Gerald
if you marry Gerald.

I was always going
to live with Gerald.

- What's the difference?
- Two girl, one boy, no problem.

One girl, one boy,
that's a couple.

'Cause Semira
is the only reason

I don't sleep with Gerald.

Again, it's the tone.

I make my decision.
That's final.

I'm 20.
I don't need your approval.

We're getting an apartment
and we're moving out.

Oh! So, you
don't need my approval?

Okay. Maybe you don't need
my free grocery,

my paying you good money,
my co-sign you lease.

- We might need that.
- Oh, my God!

You, "oh, my God!"

Thanks again
for the hospitality.

That's my big towel.

♪♪

I not overreact.

Gerald's a pussycat.
They're just friends.

Long time ago, in the forest,

young man go on a camping trip
with a beautiful young woman,

just as a friend.

Then, first night in tent...

I know this one.

He wore a goalie mask
and attacked her

with a canoe paddle.

No, it's romantic.

I just invite Mrs. Kim
on a camping trip

with other friend.

So, you were the attacker?

I just... forget to
invite other friend,

and only bring one tent.

So, you lied in order
to take advantage

of an innocent young woman.

She is not
innocent young woman,

she is my wife.

Why you say that?

- Why you come that way?
- So I can hear what you're saying.

Oh, he was just telling me

about the time
he pounced on you in a tent.

- Why you telling him that story?
- Classic Stockholm syndrome.

Stockholm what?

When a prisoner falls in love
with her captor.

He is not my captor.

That's what everyone
with Stockholm syndrome says.

Point is boy and girl
always end up

like me and Mrs. Kim
on camping trip.

But you liked each
other the whole time.

Yeah.

Does Janet like
Gerald that way?

I don't think so.

But Gerald is still man.

And if they living together,
then so easy to make mistake.

And if girl make mistake,
that's it.

Yeah, better to stay home.

Better for who?

That's my tea.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

You can leave those.
My mom will change it.

No, I don't mind.

Speaking of change,

did you ever meet
my cousin, Tim?

No.

Funny story. So,
he's in a frat house, right?

And I guess there was
this hazing incident.

He's not actually legally
allowed to talk about it,

but the funny part is
they're a roommate short.

You're pulling a Semira!

Well, I still have to pledge.

Just give me one more week.
And we'll find a place.

And we can stay here
till we do.

Yeah, I-I-I don't think so.

I mean, your dad's always,
like, watching me

and your mom won't stop asking
about my ex-girlfriends.

Welcome to my life.

It does feel good
to get this off your chest.

I've been holding it in
since lunch.

- You just ate.
- Yeah, I just got the call.

♪♪

It's a great deal,
tons of character.

And a couch in the backyard.

So, when are you and, uh...

Gerald.

Gerald moving in?

He's not. It's just me.

I decided it's better
to be on my own.

Less hassle.

No one telling me what
to do, or not to do...

And what do appa and umma
think about this?

They haven't seen it.

It's like when you moved out.
You didn't ask them.

But I was kicked out.
Well, it was complicated.

- You could have stayed.
- Not really.

Listen, don't go
doing anything stupid

just to get back at appa.

I'm not.
I'm just getting a place.

A great place.

You're not the only one
who can get

their own great place
and do what they want.

Okay.

Also, I'm going to need a Van.

Mmm...

Galbi-jjim,
just the way I like.

Just the way Janet like.
Welcome home dinner.

She never leave.

Thanks to us.

Also, goodbye
to Gerald dinner.

Yeah!
He use half my old spice.

He is a good boy.
But this is best.

Sometime, have to be strict.

That's what good parents do.

Ah... if we don't say no,
who say no?

- Yeah.
- Hmm.

Not my job to be best friend.

Yeah, many friend,
but only one parent, huh?

Okay, two.
Maybe three, if step-parent.

- Hi.
- Hey.

You're Janet, right?

- Uh... yeah.
- I'm Keith from the house.

57 Cornwall?

Landlord sent me
to check your references.

So, you work here?

Yeah.

That checks out.

Do you live at the house, too?

Oh, yeah, I've been
there for a while now.

I'm sort of between rooms
at the moment,

but you know,
you're gonna love it.

There's, uh...

There's me, Spencey, Juniper,
gnarls, the Sams.

We've got, like, four Sam's.

In a five-bedroom?

Oh...

You got a whole bedroom?

Nice.

So, it's just
the extension cord?

We sort of borrow power
from the neighbours.

So, you'll probably
want to bring a few of those.

You have any super long ones?

No. So, it's $12.50.

Oh! Yeah.

Hey, when you
drop off your deposit,

you wanna see Spencey.

He can probably pop
your ankle monitor.

I don't have an ankle monitor.

Oh, yeah.
No, me neither.

See you around, roomie.

Janet, what's happening?

I found a place.
It's great.

And you don't have to worry
about me living with one boy,

because there's five at least.

I'm assuming
Juniper is a girl,

but I don't know that
for sure.

It should be a fun surprise.

♪♪

♪♪

Hey. We never did finish that
conversation the other day.

Or if this is a bad time...

No, it's not that.

Can you please close the door?

Uh, yeah, sure.

- What's wrong?
- I just...

I thought I could make
it work, but it's a bad fit.

I think I was trying
to be someone I'm not.

- And now, I'm stuck.
- Hey!

Hey, it's okay,
I'm here for you.

Have you told him yet?

- What?
- Alejandro.

Oh!
'Cause he got me the boots?

The boots!

- You're stuck in the boots!
- Yes.

Can you please help me?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, why don't we just, um...

Okay, maybe, if you
put two hands on the...

Oh, my God!
Are you okay?

Oh, my God!

Thank you.
You are the best!

Shannon, I...

Oh, my God!

- Alejandro.
- Hey, man.

Hey, wow... fun.

Can you pass me the boot?

- Seriously?
- Yeah, he's coming.

Yeah, she's in there.

Okay, get this back on...
Ow, ow.

What are you
doing here, mister?

I couldn't stay away.

Thank you. I love them.

Well, I'll see you two later.

Oh, you were gonna
tell me something.

Uh...

It's okay, man.
Pretend like I'm not here.

As if we could.

We exceeded our rental quota
by 20% this month.

So, good on us.

Oh! I know. I told you
that in the staff meeting.

I guess I'm still just riding
that high, you know?

Okay, back to work. Me.

Good to see you, man.

Good to see you, too.

Well, I'm on my way.

Gotta drop off a check
at my new place.

- Okay, have a good time.
- I will.

- Sounds good.
- Gonna be great.

- Appa!
- What's this?

It's her life,
she know what's best.

You do you, Janet.

- That's the plan.
- Stop!

You don't want this.

You don't want this!

I don't want this.

I know Gerald
is maybe mistake.

But ankle monitor man
is definitely mistake.

Janet, you're a smart girl.

Best thing is stay home.

Is that what halmoni told you
when you came here?

No! She say...

That is different.

I just want to move
across town.

You crossed the ocean.

We have to.
To make better life for you.

Yeah, I know.
But wasn't it also for you?

Because you wanted to move?

I just wanted to move out.

Maybe not into that house.

And not without
you guys on board.

So, I'll just stay home.

Okay.

Great, well,
then we're all happy.

You not let me finish.

Okay, go find a good place.

For you and roommate.

Even Gerald.

Really?

Thank you!

But... you can't use
apocalypse sunrise

as accent wall.

So terrible color.

Ugh! Says the couple
with the furry toilet seat.

How many guys
come out from a coma?

I felt like I had to give him
his room back.

Well, beta kappa phi's loss
is my gain.

Janet, come!

Housewarming present.

Very best roommate.

So big.

Also, rice cooker.

Second one we have.
Now, it's yours.

- Okay, thanks.
- And vitamin. All kind.

Good for two more week.

Most favourite calendar
from last year,

but most beautiful picture.

- Different charger and cord.
- Okay, now,

you're just getting rid of junk.

No. Not just junk. Look.

Picture of your
umma and your appa.

Oh.

That is nice. Thank you.

And for you, Gerald.

Just me.

Cool.
This is something I have now.

All right,

I'm good. I don't need...

Cut the wheel. Yeah, cut.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Stop. Good.

Thank you.

Okay, turn the wheel.
Get close.

All right,

Stop.

Hey.

Hi.

So, uh, how's the place?

It's better than
the last place.

Okay, see you.

Yeah.

So empty.

Yeah.

I miss having everyone here.

House feel like
when we first move in.

Mmm.

But now,
I can have my office, huh?

Your office?
No, it's my sewing room.

- You never sew.
- Because I don't have sewing room.

Because you don't sew.

Maybe we should
just leave like this

in case Janet come back.

Yeah.

Or we can make
into home theater.

Surround sound.

Cupholder in chair.

Yeah, now, you talking.

Empty-nest style!

- I miss Janet.
- Yeah. Who?
