Kim's Convenience (2016–…): Season 5, Episode 10 - Who's Pranking Who? - full transcript

Hey appa,
what are you doing today?

Oh, let me see. Uh...

Can you even read that?

Yeah. Uh, Mr. Chin
something.

Or... pick
Chinatown sports.

What do all the
different colours mean?

Used to mean
different things.

Family schedule,
business schedule,

But I get all mixed up
and now it's just decoration.

Appa,
that's ridiculous.

You ridiculous!



look. This is my calendar.

You have the app
on your phone too.

Oh, yeah?

Each colour represents
a different thing in my life

And each day
can be expanded

to fit in as much
as I need to write.

- Oh.
- It's always legible

and I can write,

"working at
the store Monday",

Click "repeat", and there it is,
every Monday.

Oh! Oh!

Ha-ha, wow!
So fast!

And look, keep going!

- Yeah, well...
- Yeah,



in ten year, your schedule
say you still working

at the store on Monday.

Never mind.

Yeah, by then I probably die
so you can take over store,

But better not die on Monday,

'cause we all know
where you gonna be!

Oh!

"Pick up Mr. Chin
at airport".

Season 05 Episode 10

Episode Title:
"Who's Pranking Who?"

Aired on: March 23, 2021

Ah, these numbers
have to be in asap.

Oh, and the damage reports.

If you're flirting,
I have some notes.

No, I have those floaty
thing-a-ma-jigs in my vision.

- What are they called?
- Floaters?

No, but it'll come to me.

Extra sweetener, as usual.
Ugh, so annoying.

I thought
you were off sugar.

No, my eye.

You still seeing
those flying things?

Floaters.
That doesn't sound right.

You should get that
checked out.

I know but
I'm slammed right now,

And don't even get me started
on my meeting with the d-man.

District manager,
who's a woman.

I can meet with Ruth!

You?

Why'd you say it
like that?

Yeah, you know, why don't you
take the meeting?

- Really?
- Really?

Yes, I trust you.
Run with it.

And Omar,
stop flicking the lights.

Am I still doing it?

Yeah, I'm taking you
to see the obstetrician.

I think you mean
optician.

Optometrist.

Ophthalmologist.

That's the one.

Great. Kimchee'll take care
of the meeting,

And I'll take care of you.

Ooh, that sounded
ominous.

Sorry, I had to yawn.
Tried to muscle through.

And that was after
we went to mwanza.

Oh, and did I
tell you Ally and I

made it to
the lumo sanctuary?

Was it amazing?

Oh! Did you stay
at lion's bluff?

like we could afford that.

But yeah.

lucky!

I left Tanzania
too early.

In Korea, I climbed to the top
of to the top of bukhansan.

Well, not the top top.
Just to the restaurant area...

Gerald, I not pay you
to stand around.

Now, take box
to basement, huh?

Technically it's
not my shift yet.

Technically not
your box, so win-win.

Mm.

Appa, this is
my friend Tamson.

She just got back
from Tanzania.

- We worked together.
- Oh, yeah?

Tamson,
nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

You want drink?

Janet,
give to her drink.

Oh, it's okay.
I'm fine.

Me too.

So rude. One time when Janet
was a little girl,

I... what?

Janet, you do this?

Yeah.

I think it's a whole orange
but it's just a peel.

Oh, that's a good prank!

- It wasn't a prank.
- Don't worry.

I get her back
because I'm a prank master.

I didn't prank you.

Tamson is a witness,
prank war is on.

- Okay.
- But I didn't...

Prank war...

is on.

Everything okay?

Yes! Yes, go back to bed.
You just had surgery.

You heard the doctor,
it's not a big deal.

She also said to rest,

Keep your head still,
and don't distract me.

Mm,
something smells good.

I'm making samgyetang.

My umma used to make it for me

When I'd pretend to be sick.
Not that you're pretending to be sick.

Oh, that's cute.
She used to make it for you

and now you're making it...

Pour moi

And, that's the valium kicking in.
Go back to bed.

Okay.

sorry about that.

Okay, so now,

Take the chicken and cut off
wing tip and tail.

Is that the flappy thing?

Mm. Then take chabssal...

Uh, chabssal-eul
yeong-eolro molago haji?

Oh, yeah.
Glutinous rice.

Isn't all rice glutinous?

No, no. Glutinous rice
is different kind.

Oh. Hang on.

- Ta-da!
- Umma?

Uh. I know,
I save the day.

You're welcome.

shh, Shannon's resting.

You didn't have to come
all the way here.

I mean, I appreciate
you coming

But I wanted to do this.

That's nice,
but uh, no.

You're gonna mess it up.

I cook and uh,
you gonna chop green onion.

Oh.
Like a secret ingredient?

No.
Just start chopping.

Is Shannon joining us?

Unfortunately
she can't make it,

But not to worry, Ruth.
I'm up to speed.

Alrighty then.

What's your take
on the kiosk initiative?

Well, it's in
the initial phases.

Kioskally speaking.

All things considered,
weighing pros and cons,

I think
it's a great idea.

You do.

Yes.

I think so too but there's
been a bit of pushback.

Listen, there's always
gonna be pushback,

But anything worth doing

Is worth pushing back
the pushback to do.

That's great to hear.

I think the kiosk is gonna
completely streamline

Things at handy.
Mm, no doubt.

You think this branch might be
interested in testing one out?

My question is why isn't it
already here being tested out?

And Shannon's good
with this.

Absolutely!

I'm pretty sure.

I remember when you were
only this tall.

You're getting so big!

Uh-oh. I better
lay off the snacks.

I mean old.
Girl, you're getting old.

Sorry I took so long.

Broke a jar and I
had to clean it,

and then I broke the broom
I was using to...

Shh! Watch.

Janet prank me,
now I counter-prank her.

At the counter.

Oh, I almost forgot,
can I get my usual?

Sure.

Did I miss it?

Aeecham. Janet?

Two-for-one special on
cigarette, only for today.

Really?
Oh, wow!

Sure.

All right, all right,
all right.

Thanks.

Okay, the prank's
definitely on me.

It's not working!

Since when do we do
specials on cigarettes?

Uh, same special
on paper towel.

Go get more
from the basement.

But you're both
right there.

It's not
our shift yet.

Oh, how come
when you say it...

Bbali, bbali!

Ah.

When Janet grab cigarette,

They all fall down
on top of her head.

So funny, heh?

that's why
I don't like pranks.

My mom's boyfriend
used to hide under my bed

and grab my feet.

Oh,
that's a good prank!

It's pretty weird when it's
the first time you're meeting.

Okay, it's fixed.

She gave me the wrong ones.

I wanted light.

Careful,
it's a bit hot.

Aw, you didn't have to
go to all this trouble.

Oh, no trouble.

I mean,
I made it from scratch

So a little trouble,
but whatever.

You're the best.
Mm, this smells incredible.

You, mister, are a man
of many talents.

Thank you!

The green onions
were a bit tricky

- but the rest was a piece of cake.
- Hmm.

Oh.

- Ooh.
- Who is it?

Oh, it's just kimchee.
Leave it.

Well, what if
it's important?

Okay, you eat,
I'll take care of it.

Hey.

Oh, Jung. I thought
I called Shannon.

You did. What's up?

How's her eye?

Good. She just needs to rest.
Is there a fire?

No!

Then be a good
assistant manager

and take care of whatever
it is you're calling about.

Jung!

Don't mind him.
What's going on?

Hey! So, I met with Ruth
and she wants to test

These automated kiosks
at the branch.

Oh, yeah. They were
talking about those.

What do you think, you know,
as assistant manager?

I'm not sure.

Normally I'm scared
of robots.

I got my sweatpants
caught in an escalator once.

It was terrifying,

But I think
these might be good.

You know, innovation,
progress, cool touchpads.

Well, I'm on board
if you're on board.

- Yeah?
- Yeah!

And we're just testing it
so go with it.

Wow, these painkillers
are amazing.

I can barely feel my feet.

And, let's
wind this down.

Okay, she's gotta rest.
Love ya, buddy!

Byeee!

Aw, aren't you being a little
overprotective boyfriend?

That's right.

Nothing's gonna harm you
on my watch.

- Ooh!
- Sorry.

It's okay.
I can't really feel it.

I might turn in early.

Yeah, me too.

Oh, but uh,
have to go downstairs.

Think I forget phone
in store.

I can check
on my way to bed.

No, no! Have to take
out the garbage anyway.

Okay.

Aww, Mrs. Kim!
This is a surprise.

Did Jung send you
to check up on me?

Oh, no, no.

I just come by
to get my big pot.

Oh, did he borrow it
for his stew?

Yes, his stew.

Such a good boy.

He is such a good boy

and you are such a good mom
for raising such a good boy.

Thank you. I try.

So, how was the stew
that Jung make?

Also good?

Well, it's the thought
that counts, right?

What do you mean?

You know,
Jung tried really hard

But just between us,
it was a little bland.

But I goosed it up.

You add goose?

No, just a little mustard
and lemon.

In samgyetang?

I don't know,
it needed something.

It was all just kinda
one blah flavour.

Is something wrong?

Yeah, yeah.
Something is wrong.

While you are sleeping
because of your lazy eye,

I come over and make stew
for Jung, for you!

Oh my god,
I'm so sorry...

and maybe I didn't
have proper rice

and there was
no dipping sauce,

But still,
it's very good samgyetang!

Maybe your taste bud
get detached too!

I really liked
the texture?

Ooh.

Wow.

So this is it, eh?

Oh, yeah.

It's a bit of a letdown
in real life.

What are you
talking about?

I mean, the lighting
could be better.

I'm just kidding.

This kinda reminds me
of your room in Tanzania.

But with more
canned goods.

Right.

It seems like a dream.

Yeah.

Travelling was fun,
but I did kinda miss you.

Really?

Yeah.

Me too.

Oh!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Appa!

What are you doing?!

Better question is
what are you two doing?

Gotcha!

Prank war!

Oh-ho!

We got you so good,
appa!

Uh, yeah.

So good, Mr. Kim.

Who's the prank master now,
sucka?

This was a prank?

yeah, of course!

Oh, oh!

I can't believe
I fall for that!

Oh, so much better
than orange prank.

right?

Oh, you two crazy girl,
huh?

Okay, you win!

Prank champion Janet!

I am so sorry.

It's okay.

Don't worry about it.

I should probably
go though.

Welcome to the future.

Cool, an office ATM.

Thursday's poker game
just got real.

It's a kiosk.

It's here to make the
customer's experience easier,

Which makes our job easier.

Does it wash cars?

No.

That's 90% of my job.

It's not working!

Press harder.

Too hard, Terence.

You just have to touch it.

See?

Agh!

I've heard of this.
You have zombie fingers.

My mom says
my massages are clammy.

Ugh.
Now my finger's white.

Is that weird?
Don't touch me.

Guys,
this really has to work.

Shannon's away,
I'm covering,

and this is like
a new thing, so...

We get it.
Don't worry.

Thanks, guys.

Did you feel that?

Did I feel what?

Oh my god!

Mrs. Kim!

You have a big spoon?

Yes. Again, so sorry
about the other day.

Your stew was delicious
and I was just...

Ah, yes. My samgyetang
is very delicious.

What you eat is
Jung's samgyetang.

And he cut green onion
too long.

- That must have been it.
- And look,

you have a pink salt,

Table salt, black salt!

That's pepper.

I need regular sea salt
and regular garlic.

- And regular chicken?
- No.

Organic halal chicken
is the best one.

You see,
this is the problem.

You have
all wrong ingredients

So this time, I bring
my own ingredients.

You can be my helper.

Oh, I can't really cook.

That's why
you are helper.

No, I meant
because of my eye.

Okay, uh,
just watch and learn.

I can't really watch
either.

Yeah, yeah, you have excuse
for everything.

Everyone loves
the kiosk.

- Works like a charm.
- That's so great.

We're testing these
at a few handy's

and you guys are clearly
leading the way.

And Shannon
wasn't even here.

Just kidding.
It was really a team effort.

The team
seems very relaxed.

Yeah,
they're a chill bunch.

And who would you say

Is the most chill
specifically?

I don't know. Omar?
Nothing phases stacie either.

And is that Omar
o-m-a-r?

What are you writing?

Oh. Don't worry.

In the end, the decision
is up to you and Shannon.

The streamlining
we talked about.

You mean how the kiosk
will streamline

the experience
for customers.

Absolutely.

And once the machines
are up and running,

We won't need
as many staff around.

Oh. Oh!

Again, great job.

You did this.

Thanks!

Hey, appa.

Oh, Janet.

I wanna talk to you
about that prank, with tamson?

Oh-ho.
So funny, huh?

You definitely
prank champion.

Okay, sure.

But I was thinking
about it, and...

You already planning
next prank?

No.

This isn't really
about pranking.

I think we should be able
to talk about stuff, you know.

I'm not a kid anymore.

Obviously, I'll always be
your and umma's little girl.

I get that.

What you trying
to say, Janet?

Well...

I'm just saying, as adults...

Yeah.

You and I should be able to
have an honest conversation.

- Okay.
- About anything.

Like, relationships and...

Yeah?

Fluid sexual orientation.

oh my god!

Whew-hoo-hoo!

Oh, Janet,
what you eating?

You did this?

Oh, don't blame chair
for you bang...

Did you even hear
a word I said?

No, because all I hear
is this.

And the new heavyweight
prank champion of the world!

Appa!

Yeah, okay.

glad we're both adults!

Great call
on the droids, kimch.

Love those little guys.

- See ya tomorrow.
- Hopefully.

What do you mean?

The matrix? Terminator?
Age of ultron?

Are you okay?

Never trust machines.

The kiosks are too good!

Now Ruth wants me
to fire someone.

Huh.

First they replace us,
then they control us.

Exactly.
What do we do?

Get rid of the problem.

Terence. He's definitely
the weak link.

No, the kiosk.

No one's gonna keep 'em around
if they keep... Malfunctioning.

Ma' boy, genius!

I learned a lot about it
in El Segundo.

For starters,
I was pronouncing it "it".

I'm gonna ignore that and
stick with the genius thing.

Should be
a pretty easy hack.

I just have to...

I think I accidentally
rented a car.

How'd you do that?

I don't know but
it was fast.

- These kiosks are amazing.
- Dude!

I know, I'm sorry,
I just need to...

You rented another car!

I changed the language
to Spanish.

Jung!

It's not my fault.
I don't speak Spanish.

Just stop!
This is my problem.

I know what I gotta do.

Way ahead of you, bro.

No, man, no!

Smells yummy.

It is yummy.

here, try.

Wow.

That is delicious.

And that sauce really does
have a kick to it.

And I'm not
just saying that

Because of what happened
the other day,

Which, again,
I'm very sorry about.

I'm glad you like
my samgyetang.

Mm.
Ah!

What's wrong?

I think I get
a chili flake in my eye.

Oh my gosh,
rinse it out!

Where's the sink?

To the left.

Oh, that's right.

Oh.
Ah!

Yah.

Umma?
What's going on?

She got chili flakes
in her eye

Because she remade the stew

Which you never made
in the first place, liar.

But we're all good now.

Aye!
Speak for yourself!

Jung,
take me to sink.

Sure, let me just
drop my stuff off...

Jung!

- Okay, yeah, yeah. We're going.
- Aye, oh!

All right.
Let's talk kiosks.

I've got some updates
for you.

Actually,
I've made a decision.

You're quitting?

Unfortunately, yes.

Don't you wanna know why?

Sure.

It wasn't
an easy decision.

I truly appreciate
your faith in me.

I really love this job.

So, you don't
want to quit.

- No!
- Okay, good.

I don't wanna quit,
but I got no choice.

A captain goes down
with the ship.

Or if the captain
isn't there,

The person
acting like the captain

Goes down with the ship.

Is this in the letter?
'cause I'll read it later.

I'm the one who said yes
to the kiosk.

Oh, about that,

We're pressing pause
on the kiosk.

We are?

Yeah, they had
some liabilities.

Turns out kids were using their
parent's driver's license

to rent a car.
Teenagers, mostly.

One eleven-year-old
with a moustache.

Ooh, damn!

- Yeah, but we are not giving up.
- We aren't?

Well, right now
we're totally giving up.

But Mark my words,
the kiosk will be back.

Okay.

And you can go ahead
and shred the letter.

It's kinda weird
that you took it!

Is the coast clear?

Oh. Hey.

Your dad's not gonna pop up from
behind the counter, is he?

Again, really sorry for
what happened the other day.

It's okay.

I take it you haven't
come out to your parents yet?

Not sure "coming out"
is the right term for me.

I mean, I'm still
figuring stuff out,

Like everyone is.

But I really like you.

Thought maybe we could
start a bit slower?

Weren't we just
havin' some fun?

Oh.

Yeah! Absolutely.

That's what I meant.

Start having fun
a bit slower.

hey, um...

What are you doing
later today?

Today's not so good.

I'll text you.

Okay, great.

Hey, while I'm here,
do you mind if I grab a...

No, of course not.

On the house, even.

Graydon's extra mild,
small.

Oh, you remembered!

Thanks.
No problem.

- You need a light?
- No.

Okay.

Thanks again.

See ya!

Appa!

Do it!

Hyah!

Ahh!

Ha-ha-ha!

I love you
like a brother!

Noo!

Guhh!

Hyah!

So...

There's an explanation.

- Okay.
- See, the robots think

they're smarter,

But they have one weakness-
love.

- If we can find a way...
- Or we could just delete it.

Ha! Great to have you back.
