Kim's Convenience (2016–…): Season 4, Episode 13 - Bon Voyage - full transcript

An incident at the store leads to Umma announcing her post-Appa life plans in the statistical probability that she will outlive him. Uncomfortable with the notion of dying before her, Appa ...

Oh, my god.

Check it out!

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.

Episode Title: "Bon Voyage"
Aired on: March 31, 2020

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 shot.

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 shooting 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.
- I bet you will.

'Kay, see you, roomie. Jung.

You.

Take it easy.

He's great, right?

He's perfect.

Yeah.

Dylan say
he never seen anyone

Go smack down on face
like that.

- Go big or go home.
- I do both.

And I go to hospital.

- Well, a diving accident is kinda badass.
- Mmm.

Look at us. The Kim family,
living large.

I can't believe
you leaving us.

Only seven booster shots
to go.

You need ride to airport,
tell us.

- You're offering me a ride?
- Just this one time.

Yeah. Don't get used to.
We are not uber.

You guys.

Oh. Ah, sorry.

Hey. What are you
doing here?

Your parents asked me
to swing by.

They've got some going away
presents for me, which is very kind.

Not a present
for you, Gerald.

Present for you
to take to Korea

To give to our family
and friend. Here's address.

- Ah.
- Best you deliver this one at night.

Okay.

Well, um... I guess
I'll see you when I get back.

Ahn young he gae sae yo.

Speaking Korean...

Oh.

It's the only proverb I know.

Oh. Okay. See you.

- Okay. Bye.
- Mmm.

Gerald. Gerald. Hold up.

Here.

You won't be able
to get them in Korea.

Have a safe trip.

They're...
They're better crushed.

Well... Jambo.

It's Swahili. For "hello."

Okay. Well...

Totally.

What does that mean again?

- See you in a few months.
- Yeah.

Uh, right back at ya.

Why you not tell Janet
about you test?

Oh, doctor say it probably
not gonna get worse

In four months,
maybe not even in four year.

Okay. But, uh...

Maybe we take a break
from list.

No. No, no.
I want to do list. Together.

Okay.

- And I already call Mrs. Ko.
- Yobo!

Just to ask about
a strong arm exercise.

We gonna be together

Long time. Yagsog?

Yagsog.

You gone so long
I think you already in Africa.

Ha-ha.
Anyone want tea?

Uh, me. Ginger tea.
