Kim's Convenience (2016–…): Season 5, Episode 1 - Parking Pass - full transcript

It say five thing
wrong with picture,

But I only see four.

Maybe the fifth thing wrong

Is that there is
no fifth thing wrong.

Classic mind op.

I don't think so.

It say for ages three and up.

Unless the recommended age
is the fifth thing wrong.

Must be package mistake.

Oh. Kid shoe is different
in this one, huh?

Oh!



Her shoe laces! Blazes!

It's the obvious things
that go unnoticed.

Mm. So...

Does that mean I can buy it now?

Oh. Yeah.

But, uh, first we
check out word search,

Make sure it not broken.

I get you other one.

That's the last one.

I don't know if it was a wedding

Or a funeral,

But everyone was dancing.

Tanzania sounds awesome.

Too bad about you and raj,
though.



That's why you don't
talk back to a game warden.

Thankfully,
there were no charges.

And you guys are cool?

Yeah!

We're still friends,
but... Different paths.

Oh my god, you're back!

I wanna hear everything.
Tell me the best part.

No. Tell me the worst part. No.

Tell me something
I'd never think to ask about.

Farmers chase away elephants

By throwing condoms filled
with chili powder at them.

Wow, I did not know that.

So, what do I owe you for lunch?

How about you write me
a reference letter

And we call it even?

Ooh, somebody's
applying for a job?

After the trip, I realized I
really wanna work

In development, help
underprivileged communities.

Shut up.

You have to talk
to my roommate kwami.

He's like the director at
the desmond community centre.

He works with inner city kids
doing arts and sports.

I'm thinking, um,

Less day campy stuff,
more international.

I'm texting him right now.

You really don't have to.

Oh please,
you're my bf's sister.

We're practically bros.
It's done.

So lunch wasn't
just to catch up?

No, it totally was.

So you don't need
a reference letter?

No, I totally do.

Spell like this?

Mye... lin?

You ask about this last time.

And I spell wrong last time.

Yeah, well, maybe it's not ms.

It's ms.

I read korean people

Almost never get this disease.

For whole months,

I don't have pain or anything!

Probably misdiagnosis.

I wish.

But like I said, the good news
is that we caught it early.

How are you sleeping?

Pretty good.

I meant, mrs. Kim.

Oh. Yeah.

Sleeping fine.

Maybe one more sign
I don't have ms.

Yobo...

It's important to get rest.

You getting any help
at the store?

Yeah, we have gerald.

So not much help.

Well, there is a new steroid
I'd like to prescribe.

Oh, okay. How you spell?

I have to write this one.

But you can take this
for parking.

Oh, you validate. Thank you.

No, it's an accessible
parking pass.

In case the symptoms progress.

We don't need, thank you.

It's your decision, it's just...

It's good to have in case.

Okay, doctor order.

Not really an order.

Yeah, see? I write it down.

Okay, let's go.

Okay.

Ah, bummer. Weather's sunny
again today in el segundo.

Same here.

It might even be sunnier in
toronto than california.

Impossible!

Pretty sure I paid
for the sun in my tuition.

Hey, nobody said
business college

Was gonna be cheap
but I'm so proud of you!

And you're gettin' by
okay without me?

Yeah, things are fine at work.

Oh, I didn't really
mean at work.

Oh. Well...

I could def be better.

Is there anything I can do
to make things def better?

Oh, I don't know if this is
the best time or place.

Is that jung? Yo!

My boy livin' that socal life!

You know it, brah!

Soakin' up the sun
el segundo style, woo!

Ah, okay.

I gotta get back to work
like a real man.

Catch ya later, j-rock! Raptors!

Okay, well I should let you go.

Yeah, my dorm room's
getting pretty hot.

Really? Yeah, it's so hot,

I think I gotta
take my shirt off.

Oh. I see.

Hey, what would you
suggest to, uh...

Get this blaze under control?

I dunno.

Maybe get out
your big sprinkler and...

Sorry.

Hey, did you get those kobe 8's

I ordered to your place?

Uh, no, not yet!

Ah, 'kay, lemme know. Love ya!

Maybe another time.

Sit your hot bottom down
before I make you.

How you gonna make me?

Hey.

Kimchee, I'm skyping with jung!

Okay. But we have a meeting now,
that you called.

Oh, right.

Ha-ha!

Look!

Parking pass
is just so amazing, huh?

Okay, let's go.

Have to get
bathroom paper first.

No! That's enough.

Grocery store,

Wholesale, dry cleaning,
haircut.

It was you haircut.

Okay, we go.

And uh, now,

We can park in front
of home all day, for free.

Yobo.

I agree to get parking pass,

But no one can see parking pass.

You know how parking
pass work, right?

I don't want customers
at store to know.

Or janet.

Just haven't found right time.

Maybe there is no
right time to find.

You want to tell everyone,

You get your own disease!

We have a sick woman here!

What?

We don't know them.

So, you're not comin'?

Oh, hey. I loves me
a silent auction,

But it's just
a big day tomorrow.

But put me down
for 60 on that spa weekend.

Bidding starts at $200.

Then maybe just a jar
of bath salts?

So, 60 for bath salts.

Whoa! Maybe start at five.

Anyway, this isn't about me.

Now, go raise some money

For a good cause,
mr. Program director!

Are you kicking me out?

I'm cheering you on. Go, go, go!

Oh, hello there.

You must be the new guy.

Well, this is a restricted area,

So you're gonna need a hardhat.

That's right-very hard.

And it's... ow.

Oh, okay.
That's actually too hard.

I'm gonna take that off.

Okay. Take two.

Oh, hello there.

We've been three days
without a sexy...

Okay. Take three.

See you.

Hi, janet.

Hey, umma. Nice haircut.

Just a trim.

So, you still like
live in basement?

We can move sewing machine

And appa's puzzle and treadmill.

I'm fine! It's not forever.

I like having my own space.

Look at you, all grown up.

But, uh, part of growing up
is dealing with bad news...

Like your résumé
not converting to a pdf?

Yeah, like that...

So, few months ago...

Oh my god.

I didn't say.

I got it.

How you get?

A friend in tanzania
gave my name

To a huge non-profit.

They wanna interview me.

Ah, this is so good news!

Oh, I'm sorry.

You were saying.
A few months ago?

Yeah.

So, few months ago...

We stopped getting chips ahoy
and now we getting again.

Cool.

Yeah.

Did you get my email
late last nighty-night?

Uh, yeah, I glanced at it.

Did you like it?

Yeah. I mean...

I thought omar closing three
nights in a row was a lot,

But it's fine.

Good schedule.

Schedule? Oh my god!

Babe?

Don't open my email
about the schedule.

There's an email
about the schedule?

'cause I booked Friday off.

With an attachment
called "nighty-night"?

Ah, man.
Am I stuck on nights again?

No. I mean, yes,
but don't open it

Because there's
a computer virus in it,

So just delete it right now.

Great. Thank you.

Terence, did you get my email?

Why are you running?

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 porn.

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 porn 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.
