Kim's Convenience (2016–…): Season 5, Episode 7 - Chance Encounter - full transcript

Appa, why do you charge more
for ruffled chips?

Because these
are better.

How? Same taste,
same flavour.

The only difference is these
are ruffled and a dollar more.

Ruffled chip
is working harder.

More impressive!

People like chip
that make effort.

It's the taste
that matters.

Okay. Say a handsome,
lonely man

Come in
looking for chip.

He see a clean chip
that think it's too cool.



Don't have to try.

Then, what's this?

- Ruffled chip?
- Ooh.

Wow, so fancy!

Some people prefer
plain chips.

They're making
an effort too.

They're just not
desperate for attention.

We are not saying
desperate.

Just saying
it would be nice

if a plain chip
can find someone

Who want to buy and
take away from store.

Otherwise just stay on a shelf

And get stale and old
and expire.

If plain chips
want to go anywhere,



They don't need
someone to buy them.

They can take care
of themselves.

With what money,
huh?

I think she get
the message.

Hmm.

What message?

*KIM'S CONVENIENCE*
Season 05 Episode 07

Episode Title: "Chance Encounter"
Aired on: March 02, 2021

Oh.

Whoa.

- What you doing?
- Oh my god!

Umma,
you scared me!

Why you making a mess?

I found an
envelope of money!

Oh! How much?

$210.

Why are you whispering?

You gonna steal?

No, I was just counting it.

Good. Then, uh,
we call police.

- Or...
- We tell your appa.

- Or...
- Why don't you just

finish sentence?

- 48-hour rule.
- Hmm?

You know,
like in a crime show.

You get 48 hours
before the trail goes cold.

Then you call off
the search.

I still think
we should call police.

Think of the poor little
old lady

Who might be looking
for her envelope.

And when she comes back...
It's gone.

Okay.

I put money in cash box
for little old lady.

Then in 48 hours
you and I can split it.

Or donate it.

Or call the police,
whichever.

Don't tell appa!

Okay, what are we
feelin' tonight?

Action/adventure,
docuseries,

Cartoon drama?

Maybe not that one.

Oh, snap!

Episode four of Swords
of the Realm is out!

Oh, we can watch that!

I saw the main sword guy
make shortbread on Rachael Ray.

It's kinda confusing
if you're not caught up.

Uh, trust me,
I'm a quick study.

I started Fast and
the Furious at movie five

And I totally got it.

Ooh, very well.

To the borderlands
of takarsus we go.

Quick question,
who's the dragon princess?

Oh, she's
a new character.

I'm sure
they'll explain it.

Is the woman with the peg-leg
talking about the king?

Is he the old guy
in the tower?

- Uh, no, that Manacles.
- Oh.

How do you spell that?

I don't know.
Probably how it sounds.

The elf whisperer totally looks
like our server from earl's.

Aw, we should go
horseback riding sometime.

Yeah!

They killed Manacles?

It's not Manacles.

Oh, right.
That was earl's server.

Must be uncomfortable
to lie on all those spikes.

Okay.
So,

baking soda,
diet coke, and hot dog.

No meat this week.

Hotdog is not
real meat.

Okay, fine.

Tasteless vegetable
dressed as hot dog, one.

Yobo?

Did you...
Lose some money?

No.

Okay. So long
as you're sure.

Okay, but I have
a can't-lose hand!

- Pocket ace!
- What?!

I go all in
to intimidate.

That's the right play.

But then
Mr. Mehta call

And he get a flush
on river card!

Who get a flush
on river card?!

So you lose money
at the poker game?

Yeah.

But that's only money
you lose?

Okay.

But Mr. Chin,
he's in a sand trap,

And I have
a can't-lose putt!

Why you lose
so much money

And you don't tell
to me? Hmm?

Your money
is my money.

You owe Mr. Chin $50.

Sorry.

"We".
We owe Mr. Chin.

My only cousin is death!

What?

Dude! You didn't watch
episode four last night?

Oh... technically yes.

When Princess Madora gives
birth to the snake child!

See, I missed that part
because we were too busy

Weighing the pros
and cons of epidurals.

- Okay?
- Or was it the snake pit

that Shannon saw on a trip to
Manitoba when she was ten?

- It's all a blur.
- I see

what happenin'.
Sally soundtrack.

Gwen was the same way when we
started watching

- Nebulon 5 together.
- So what'd you do?

She loved the series
The Brokerage

So I sat down and
watched it with her

And I asked
a lot of questions

Because I was
"so confused"!

That show is
very confusing.

Not really.

But she realized
how irritating it was

And stopped asking questions
during Swords of the Realm.

That's brilliant!

You're like
a real-world Manacles!

Speaking of which,
I'm getting take-out.

Dost thou require
mutton and mead?

You wish to feast

When the horsemen of griff
are at our very doorstep!

Yeah, you gotta watch
episode four.

Seriously,
you want anything?

Nah, I'm good.

Thank you.

Oh! Hi.

Hey, ajushee.
What's up?

Oh, just uh, lunch time.
Yeah. What you doing?

Oh, uh,
pork bone soup.

Yeah, nothing
like a gamjatang.

Yeah.

Yeah. I just start.
You can join?

You sure?
I don't wanna...

Sit.
What you talking?

Okay.

Oh. Sorry.

I was gonna
take it out,

But then
I met my friend.

Yeah.

Don't tell Mrs. Kim
you see me here, huh?

We watch a documentary
about meat,

And I promise no eating
meat for whole week.

And this was?

Yesterday.

Yeah.
So, how is, uh...

- Gwen.
- Mm.

She's great.

I mean, sure, there's an
adjustment period,

Living together.

Ah, me and Mrs. Kim
still adjusting.

Yeah.

What your rush, huh?

You is young.

I rush in before I ready.
Now look at me.

Jal meoggo.

Are you sure
you don't lose any money?

Oh, I think
I'd remember.

You is old,
so maybe not.

Anyone come
for the money?

No, and I ask
everybody,

But no one
have any idea.

Wait. You're just
telling people

You found an envelope
full of money?

- Yeah.
- You can't do that!

But we did!

But they'll lie
and say it's theirs.

But they didn't.
Umma, how can you be so naive?

People are gonna
take advantage of you!

Janet, I know
when people are lying.

They giggle, cross arm,
and don't make eye contact.

Excuse me.

- Oh. Hi.
- Hi, hi.

Couldn't help overhear something
about an envelope and money.

Yeah.

I thought I left it
on the subway,

But I just remembered I was
in here a few days ago.

Really?

I don't remember
that.

I don't think either one of you
were working that day.

Oh. Okay.

And do you remember where
in the store you left it?

I don't.

Like I said,
it was about a week ago.

You said
a few days ago.

Did I?

You did.

Sorry.

How much money
was in the envelope?

Oh. Good question.

Around 200?

Umma!

No, it was, uh, 260?

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

What?

I believe you,
it's just...

Someone came in earlier
and said it was their money.

We fell for it.

So sneaky.

That is unfortunate.
People these days.

Sorry.

It's okay.
It's not your fault.

Thanks.

- Oh, I can't believe it!
- I know, right?

Yeah, both of you
is lying

But nobody giggle
or cross arm!

Hey!
How was lunch?

- Yeah! Good. You?
- Good.

Terence and I
split a pizza.

And then we ate it.

And I wrote a ton of questions
about Shannon's show.

But you haven't
seen it yet.

Right.
Guess these won't work.

So, here's
something funny.

I was getting take-out,
your dad was at the restaurant.

We kinda
had lunch together.

Oh. That's weird.

Totally!
And so boring!

I was like,
"get me outta here!"

Yikes! Just bad.

He's not that bad.

Well, no. Not that bad,
but still kinda bad,

But bad in a good way,
but also bad in a bad way.

Like John Wick.

Anyway, just thought
you should know.

Why? It's not like you guys
are friends or anything.

No!

Exactly.

A new episode of Swords
of the Realm just dropped.

What do you think?

Or we could do
one of your shows,

Switch it up
a little bit?

Well, I am loving this one
from Ireland right now,

Kilkenny Girls,
but I don't really know

If it's your thing.

I think we should do it.

Alrighty then!

Why you creeping Kimchee?

Not creeping.

Just looking and liking
and laughing!

- That's creeping.
- You creeping!

So, when you two
going on date?

Pfft!

If you like him, you should ask
him to hang out.

Guys don't ask other guy
to hang out.

Girl do that, but for guy,
have to be, uh,

Chance encounter.

So, what you think?

I think Kimchee gonna see
Parasite movie tomorrow.

No, yobo. This!

Like, and laugh.

I just think if you were
gonna ride a broom,

You'd sit on
the widest part.

But it's not a real thing!

No, but why not
make it realistic?

Whoa!

What?

Oh!

No, are you serious?

Don't freak out.
I'll split it with you.

Either one of us
could've found it.

No, a customer
came in earlier.

I thought
she was scamming us

But I must have
dropped that.

Nice try.

It's not for me.

I swear,
it's for the customer.

Honestly!

Okay. But I regret offering
to split it with you.

Whatever.

Have you ever seen
one of these before?

Only in my dreams.

Sorry, I have a question.
Who's that again?

Jenna.

And...
And who's that guy?

Callum.

And how did Callum
and Jenna get together?

I am so glad you asked.

It is the most
amazing backstory.

- Oh.
- So, Callum steps on

a farrier's nail
and gets lockjaw

And couldn't speak for months,
and Jenna teaches poetry

at the local prison,
so, Margaret's mother...

Well, no. Not her mother,
because in episode three

We learned the babies
were switched on the train.

You have to see
that scene.

- No, it's fine.
- Oh, wait.

This is the pub where
Callum first sees Jenna,

And this is the pub
in real life.

You will never guess
who was murdered in there.

Like on the show?

No. In real life.

The goat farmer Callum's
father was based on.

Oh my god.
You have to see him dance!

Hey, Jung, can you
help me with, um... everything?

Oh, sorry.
It's just that I got stuck

watching Kilkenny Girls
for three hours last night.

Tell me about it.

I had to watch
the Morgan Triplets

while their mom
went to "the store".

No, the show that
Shannon talked through. Again.

And I don't even like it
and it's still annoying.

Ah. Is that true?

Hey!

I only talked so much to
answer your many questions.

I was just trying
to make a point.

What point?

Terence, do you mind?

No, go ahead.

I was maybe
trying to suggest

That too many questions
can be frustrating

When you're trying
to watch a show.

And you did that
by pretending to care

about a show that I like

while I was genuinely
interested in yours?

No!

I mean, I tried
but it didn't work.

Look, all I'm saying is

We don't have to do
everything together.

You know,
or watch the same shows.

No, we don't.

I guess I just thought
for a moment

that you really liked
Kilkenny Girls

and that we found a show that we
could watch together

like other couples
but I guess I was wrong.

Call me a Jenna for trying.

Let me guess.
You wanna take your break now.

Hey!

Ajushee, what
are you doing here?

Oh! Kimchee!

What, you here too?

Yeah. Wow!
What are the odds?

Definitely
chance encounter.

Cool jacket and hat!

Oh,
just old stuff, huh?

Yeah. What you doing now?
Maybe go for a drink?

Ah, I'd love to,
but I'm here with, uh...

Jung?

- Gwen.
- Oh! Good.

I mean, it's good if
Jung is here too.

Screw it. I just used
the men's room.

Uh, Gwen, this is
Jung's dad, Mr. Kim.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Oh, hey!

Kimchee wouldn't stop
talking about your lunch.

Mr. Kim this,
Mr. Kim that.

Nah!

You two should
hang out more!

Ah, yeah.

Maybe if a chance encounter
happen again.

- What about now?
- Maybe, but, uh...

we're meeting friends
for dinner.

They're my friends.
Go, have fun!

You sure?

It's nice meeting you,
Mr. Kim.

Thank you, Gwen.
Nice meeting you too!

Okay, thanks.

Well, ajushee, looks like
it's just the two of us.

Okay! Let's do this
ajushee style, huh?

Hey!

Uh, Shannon around?

At the gym.

Said she needed
to "row one out"?

Oh, that's not good.

She's been raving
about this show.

Not sure I get it.

See, that guy, Brian,

Is not supposed to show
his face around Callum's pub.

Why not?

He cheated
on Callum's sister.

Which one's
Callum's sister?

All of them?

Oh.

I'm surprised
to see you again.

Yeah, you know, it was a lot of
money but it's fine.

You were just trying
to do the right thing.

I thought we could
just move on, you know?

How kind of you.

Plus,
I love cookies.

You know what I love?

Honesty.

Okay?

Uh, you know I'm trying to be
the bigger person here, right?

Oh, you trying to be
bigger person.

You lucky I don't
ban you from store.

Ban me? For what?

I might be naive,

But better a little bit
naive than big liar.

You gave my money away.
Why am I a liar?

Oh, "I come
a few days ago."

"Oh wait, no!
I come a week ago."

Okay, a few days can
be three or four days

And a week is like five... why am
I even explaining myself?

And then you say
you lose 210.

- "Oh, wait, no, 220!"
- it was 260!

See? Your story
keep changing.

My daughter
raised that money

for a heart and stroke
skip-a-thon.

Skip-a-thon. Huh.
I never heard of.

I'm starting to wonder

if you really did
give the money away.

Oh, no.

But Gwen was
sitting on my left.

Oh, so you eating
stranger popcorn?

And they never
even noticed!

There's a good place
just up here.

Oh, the one
with Ms. Pac-man!

- Yeah!
- Oh, no.

He look like Jung.

Maybe, uh, we do this
other time.

Don't want to overdo.

No, it's not that.
It's just, you know...

- He say something?
- No!

It's just... a sensitive area,
you know?

Yeah. Jung has lots
of sensitive area.

Heh.

I gotta show you this
funny cheese wheel video.

- I'll send it tomorrow.
- Hm.

Gwen is a nice girl.

Yeah. She is.

Goodnight, Kimchee.

Goodnight, ajushee.

Fine. I don't wanna
be here anyway.

- Pfft!
- Stop!

I mean, wait. Please.

I'm so sorry.

Umma, Gerald
found a $50 bill.

I was gonna tell you.
It must have fallen out

When I dropped
the envelope.

My envelope?

Making the total $260.
Ding-ding! Ding.

Oh!

Okay, well, 50 is better
than nothing.

It's all
in the envelope.

So, wait, you have
the envelope?

Mm-hm.

It's gone!

We don't have envelope!

Am I in danger?

No.

Where is it?

Ladies.

I gonna get you
your money.

So, you do have it.

We're really sorry
about all of this.

$260, very sorry.

Thank you for
admitting your mistake.

The skip-a-thon organizers
will definitely appreciate it.

Can we get
a tax receipt?

You didn't actually
donate anything.

Oh. That's right.

But you could.

Ah, that's okay.
Maybe other time.

I mean, yes,
of course. Yes.

Good idea.

I'm fine,
you guys

- don't need to retend...
- No, sorry, just...

He never got to say it.

I was so wrong.

We both overreacted.

No, about the show.
It's amazing!

That's nice, but...

When Clara reads
the back of the letter?

Forget about it.

When Finnegan declares
his love for Seamus

right after
Kayleigh dies...

What, Kayleigh dies?
I'm only on episode eight!

Oh. Is that the one
where the midwife drowns?

What?! No,
stop saying things!

- Don't worry, she faked it!
- Stop it!

It says if we liked
Kilkenny Girls

We might enjoy
Dublin Dog Detectives?

Fire it up.

But cash box money
for everyone to share.

That's why Janet's sharing
your bomber jacket now.

Hmph.

So, how was your date
with Kimchee?

You get lucky?

You know,
Kimchee's just like me.

So fun.
We getting along easy.

So, should I be worried?

Hmm.

And uh, me and you,
we is different.

But we getting along too.

Why so hard
for me and Jung?

We don't always get along.

But uh,
with time and effort,

We learn
how to communicate.

Maybe you and Jung
need time to learn.

Hmm.

Agh.

Hm!

Hey.
That's my hat.

Looks better on me.

Oh.

Yeah, you know what
look better on you?

What?

Oh! Careful of hat!

Ah, yobo!

- Oh, hi.
- Oh.

Hey, appa.

Um, pick up for Jung Kim?

You know, Kimchee's been raving
about the gamjatang here

ever since the two
of you had lunch.

Oh. Oh!
I get for you.

Oh no, it's okay.

Oh no, Jung,
it's my treat.

- I'm working. I can get this.
- I get it.

Thanks.

Well, I should probably
head'er.

Unless...

Uh...

Takeout is for taking out.
So please, take out.

Yeah, yeah, I got a lot
to do anyway.

Yeah, me too.
