With nicotine?

That's the one.

Okay.



Let me see...

Oh!

Also sold out.

All vape juice, all sold out.

Appa,

it might be a good idea
to order noodles

from a company that knows
how to spell noodles.

Noodle tastes the same as
a "nodle,"

but a nodle is cheaper.

Eonni!

Nayoung? Oh, my god!

What are you doing here?

Samchon!

Oh, nayoung ah.

Nayoung is going back to Korea.

Umma not tell you?

Actually, I just come from Anne
of green gable

and chateau frontenac.

Then, going to rocky mountain
then back to Korea!

Just me and my friend.

Road trip! Eeh!

That sounds amazing.

I was in Tanzania...

What friend?
Your boyfriend?

Samchon! Not boyfriend.

Girlfriend?

Not girlfriend!

My pet.

He is a spider
and his name is spider.

Isn't he so cute?

I love him so much.

Sure.

You want to pet him?
I'm good.

Samchon?

Oh!

Too scared to talk, appa?

I'm not scared!

Just, uh... surprise.

Spider look scared.

Okay, I take your luggage
upstair.

You keep talking with Janet
and spider down here.

Gamsa habnidang!

So good to have you home!

It's good to be home.

You know, the food in I.A.
Is good and all,

but this is way better.

You still have a job
at car rental?

Mm-hmm, yeah.

Trying to apply some of what
I learned at biz school.

Kimchee must be so happy
to have roommate back.

Actually, him and Gwen are
pretty cozy there right now.

Then, where you staying?

Maybe you move back home!

Nice try.

How are things with you, though?
Any relapses, or...

I'm fine, I'm fine.
Don't change subject.

What subject?

You're living
with Ms. Shannon.

Oh.

I didn't know we were talking
about that.

You gonna marry her?

I mean, who knows.

I like her a lot,

and I think you'd like her too
if you got to know her.

I think if you just gave her
a chance,

I don't know,
drop by for lunch or...

- Okay.
- Okay, what?

I come for lunch tomorrow.

I didn't
mean right away...

You know nayoung has a pet?

Oh, nayoung's here?

Yeah, downstair.

Oh, I'll go say hi.
She has a pet spider.

You know, I think I'm gonna
finish my lunch first.

You okay with a spider?

Yeah, I'm okay.
You don't look okay.

I'm okay.

Just have to take luggage
upstair and get room ready.

Might be gone long time.

I think he is
scared of spider.



I'm sorry, I
thought I said good news first?

Uh, that was the good news.
Corporate rentals.

But those numbers are 4%
lower than last quarter.

Hey, it's kimchee here!
You...

Sorry, kimchee,
but I can't picture you

and it's kinda
throwing me off.

What kimchee was about to say
is that

our customer satisfaction
numbers are really great,

and we have super-high
loyalty retention.

And those numbers are...?

Give us a second.

Can you go find...
On it!

Uh...

There you are!

Oh, get back here.

And no more biting!

What you doing?

Spider keeps escaping.

But, oh, I got him...

You wanna say hi?

No, put him back.

Oh, no!

It's just
a scrunchie, appa!

You should have seen
your face.

Admit it, you're scared
of spider.

I'm not scared!

Just surprised.

Then, go and pet him.

That's invasion of nayoung
privacy.

Whatever.

You whatever!

Ahhhh!

I not say "ahhh!"

I say "ah-ha!"

Because I know it's trick!

So good, in the fourth
took over the game...

Thank you.

Everything okay, Melissa?

It's not Melissa.

And nice of you to ask.

What?

Here's a question.

If someone's obviously in pain,
do you help?

Like a human being?

Or just hope they didn't see you
and sneak away?

Okay, I want to know why you
leaned on "human being"?

Are there aliens
in this scenario?

What happened?

He saw her crying in the garage
and totally ignored her.

I did run in for, like,
a few seconds to grab a file.

Were you there, too?

Yes, and you saw me!

Wow.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, it was just really urgent.

And your body language was
pretty closed off.

It's fine, I get it.

Even she says it's fine!

Ugh!

See?

Hey!
How was your day?

Well, it is about to get
a lot better.

Hey, guys.

Hey, kwami.

Don't stop
on my account.

Just grabbin'
my gym stuff.

Yeah, I already worked out
today, so...

I wasn't thinking
we were going together.

No, me neither.

Just sayin'.

You don't have to be jelly.

Are you kidding?
I love the kwams.

Please don't
call me the kwams!

So, how was your mom?

Oh, good, good.

Hangin' tough.
You know her.

Actually, speaking of how much
you know her, uh,

she was thinking of maybe coming
over for lunch tomorrow?

She wants to come here
for lunch? Tomorrow?

You know what, I can see
that you're uncomfortable.

I'll tell her we're busy.
No, no, no!

No, it just threw me off guard.

I thought she didn't like me,

but she wants
to get to know me better.

Have lunch, this is huge!

It is?

Are you kidding?

Of course I am!

This is the hugest,

and I'm so happy
it's happening

as long as you're 100% cool
with it,

and no one's pressuring you!

I think it'll be great.

Okay... great.

Does your mom have any food
allergies?

No, but you know,
just to protect...

I mean, prepare you... us,
for this amazing thing,

there's just some rules that
you should probably know about.

Rules?

Well, not really rules,
but guidelines,

like Korean things that my mom,
being Korean,

might expect or be really
used to, you know?

I don't know how to speak
Korean.

Oh, no, that's totally fine,
it's fine...

Although knowing a phrase
or two would definitely help.

I'm kidding... kind of.

So, "annyeonghaseyo" is hello,
and "gamsahabnida"...

You know what, let's write
some of this down, shall we?

Nayoung ah?

Nayoung?

Hello, spider.

I not scared.

I not scared...

I not scared...

I not scared...

I not scared.

Okay, I a little scared.

Just a little scared.

Morning.

No problem. You?

Sorry?

I mean, uh, how you sleep?

Oh, okay.

Oh, my god! Oh, my god!

I think I put on, but then
it come off! Now, he's out!

Uh, this could be about
a lot of things.

Spider is missing!

What?

His lid was off,
now I can't find him!

It's okay, nayoung,
we'll find him.

Appa, you okay?

Yeah, just have to go
to wholesale.

I don't think they're open yet.

Only one way to find out.

Hey, Terence,
you got a second?

Wizard of oz theme party?

No, but I might need a little
help with some role-playing.

As the tin man?

No. Forget the tin man.

But all I see
is the tin man.

You're into acting, right?

No, where did
you hear that?

Oh, I guess I heard wrong.

That was acting, my friend,
and yes, I am into it.

What do you have for me?

Ah, come in.

Everything normal!

This area
is perfectly safe.

And probably
back corner, too.

Yeah, I give to you
free drink

if you go check back corner
for anything... dangerous?

Not that thirsty.

Oh, my god,
oh, my god!

What's happened?
You see spider?

I was getting out of bed...
Yeah?

And I didn't look
where I was stepping...

Yeah?
And I accidentally stepped on...

Spider?
Yeah.

Show to me!

I would, but it all happened
so fast.

It was so gross.

I-I panicked
and flushed him down the toilet.

Okay.

Well, very sad day
but life go on.

Not for spider, but...

Don't worry, Janet,

spider was very scared
and you do mercy killing.

Also, how many times
you flush?

Maybe I go check.

Make sure you flush spider
all the way down!

Nayoung!

Flush spider?

No, no, no!

No, no, I didn't.
Spider isn't dead.

I just made that up so appa
would calm down and relax.

Spider still alive?

Yeah.

He's still here somewhere.

We just have to
keep the search,

you know,
on the down-low, okay?

Okay.

Not, literally,
but whatever.

And if my mom says no
to anything,

she's just being polite,
so offer it again.

And if she says
no a third time,

then just back
off immediately.

Good, and don't
take anything first.

Right. Offer it to your mom,
then you.

Always use two hands,
and then I get the leftovers.

You got this!

And don't laugh too loud,
or too long or too wide.

Maybe just cover your mouth
when you laugh.

I have a wide laugh?
Try not to snort.

Okay, I'm not sure if this...

Oh, show time!

Here.

My ballet flats?

Yeah, she'll be expecting
indoor slippers.

Hey, umma! Come in.

You know Shannon?

Hi, Mrs. Kim.
Ahn young ha sae yo.

Oh, hello.
This is for you.

Oh, thank you!

And these are for you,
indoor slippers.

Oh, they're very big.

They fit you?

Wow, you have
such big feet.

Thank you.

Shannon's just trying
to be nice.

Why you saying like that?
She is nice.

There's no need for sarcasm,
umma.

Oh, I think
she's being sincere.

I think we all got off
on the wrong foot here.

Wrong big foot.

Oh, uh, sorry.
I hope that wasn't too wide.

Big foot, mouth, and heart.

It's a good thing.

Okay! Let's do this!

Where are you?

Uh, in my office.

It's Ruth from corporate,
I'm looking for Shannon.

Oh, sorry. It's her day off.

This is kimchee,
acting manager.

Shannon was going to email us
the leasing numbers.

I've got Tim from fleet
management on the line.

Hey, kimchee!

Hey...

Oh!
Oh, no.

Oh, my god, no.

What a tragedy!

Any chance we could call you
guys back on Monday?

It's not the best time.

Tell me about it.

I'm supposed to be on a boat
right now.

Where's kimchee?
I need kimchee!

Can you give me a couple
seconds?

I really gotta deal
with something right here.

Okay, we just need numbers

on fleet depreciation
and non-vehicle amort.

Would you like some more
pasta salad?

Oh, no, thank you.

Would you like some more
pasta salad?

I said no.

Would you like some more
pasta salad?

I'm full,
but thanks for asking.

You have such good view
from up here.

Oh, thank you.

I mean it's not south-facing
or anything, but...

Your condo is very nice
and cozy.

Obviously,
it could be bigger,

and at a better location
with more amenities.

Jung.

It's what she was implying.

I wasn't
implying anything.

Nice? Cozy?

And, while we're at it,

how are we living together
with another roommate?

What roommate?

See?

This is why she didn't want
you to come.

You didn't want me to come?

No! I mean, yes!
I mean, I did, but then,

jung told me about
all these rules I had to follow

or else you'd be mad.

Why you make me sound
like a monster?

I don't think this is exactly
my fault.

You want me to come
to get to know her better.

Wait, you told me that lunch
was your mom's idea?

Okay, yes,
I did encourage her,

but it was her idea!

Now, she think I'm a monster

who don't deserve more
pasta salad!

- I offered it three times!
- No, only two times!

You don't even
like pasta salad!

Then, why'd you
let me make it?

I don't...

Who want dessert?

Kimchee?

Thank goodness, kimchee!

It's my sister!

Just give me a sec
to wrap up a call,

then I'm here for you, buddy.

Like I am for all my staff!

His sister's been
in an accident!

What?

I thought she lost her job
and was suffering from insomnia.

And then, just now she was
in a terrible train accident!

She hit a cow at a level
crossing.

I don't know
if she's going to make it.

My sister, not the cow.

Obviously helping you
is my number-one priority,

but I just need to finish
my number-two priority,

so I can give my number-one
priority top priority.

'Kay?
Hold that thought.

"Hold that thought"? Typical!

Hey, guys.

What's going on?

Apologies, just emailing you
the spreadsheets now.

Gonna put you on hold
for a quick sec.

Hey, Ruth, Tim!

I'm afraid something
more important came up.

My staff need me right now.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I hope there are
consequences!

'Cause y'all a bunch
of wieners!

Now, that's balls.

Did you just call us wieners?

Sorry, I can explain.

We don't care.

Just wanted
the email, thanks.

Okay, buddy.
Tell me all about it.

What's wrong?

You obviously care way more
about Terence

than the rest of us!

Melanie! Maya?!

Let her go.

Talk about dramatic.

Like, rein it in.
Sheesh.

Two-for-one special,
just for you.

Don't tell.

Thanks, Mr. Kim.

You're welcome.

You go. I hold off!

A tarantula!

That's right, Jasper.
I don't think it sees us.

Oh, it see
everything!

Okay.
See you!

Okay.

I not scared.

Janet lie to me
about killing you, huh?

Or maybe you
climb out of toilet.

Either way, we both know
it come down to this.

Okay.

Ha!

Kim sang il, spider hunter!

Oh, it's fine,
you can just leave that.

Oh, it's okay.

I can help.

Mrs. Kim, I know I'm not
your ideal match.

Too late,
I already married!

I mean, for jung.

I'm not Korean.

I laugh loudly, and widely
and probably other ways too.

But I like jung a lot,
and he loves you very much.

You are not problem.

Jung is...
Making problem.

Thank you, please go on.

Some old girlfriend of jung,
oh, so dumb!

I hate dumb, stupid girl.

You, you are smart.

So nice to hear you
say that.

But you know,
relationship is not easy.

Who knows what can happen.

Why I should care about you
if maybe you two break up?

I think I understand.

It's not personal.

So, I've had
some time to think

and you two are obviously
my favourite women

and I put way too much pressure
on this,

so, I'm sorry things
didn't work out.

My bad.

I wouldn't say things
didn't work out.

Really?
Yeah.

But who exactly is your
most favourite woman?

While you're thinking
about answer,

Ms. Shannon, can you give me
tour of apartment?

Sure.

Jung, you can finish.

Sure.

So, this is your room?

Yes.

Where is jung's room?

Oh, hello, Janet.

Everything okay?

Hope you not feel too sad
about killing spider.

No, not too sad.

Oh.

But look what I find,
not in toilet.

Okay, I was trying
to help you.

You were so scared of him
you could barely sleep.

If I so scared,
how I trap him all by myself?

Hmm? Yeah!

Spider, want to say hi
to Janet?

Appa, don't move.

Don't make any sudden...
Ahhh!

Which toilet?

Thank you, samchon,
for everything.

I'm so sorry you is scared
of spider.

Nayoung,
have to stop saying that,

otherwise people think you have
lying problem.

Bye, Janet.

Bye, nayoung.

And don't forget, I want
postcards from every city.

Okay.

And if you ever leave Toronto,
send postcard too.

Wae-sook-mo!

Oh, nayoung,
you should stay longer.

Thank you for everything,

and for
finding spider.

Oh, no problem.

Okay. Gamsahabnidang.
Ahn young hee gae sae yo.

Good thing you find spider
when you do, yobo.

Yeah, I know.

Where did you find
spider again?

Same place I find

Hmm.

Appa, did you know?

Ah! Another spider.

Ahhhh!

You knew about ketchup?
Appa!
