So? What do we wear on Thursday? Are you still not telling me where we're going? Wear whatever you want.
It's Blake Tavern.
Gerald! Seriously? Oh, yeah.
There's no dress code.

What's the big deal? Oh, my God.
It's a surprise! [CHUCKLES SHEEPISHLY.]
So, the Blake.
Cool.
It was just where we were starting the night.
Or ending.
- It's your birthday, your call.

Really fun.
Great save, Gerald.
Hey, didn't mean to eavesdrop, but my family has a membership at the Stonewood Supper Club.
Chelsea, you're bragging again.
[CHUCKLES.]
No! They should go there.
They can be my guests.

When are you thinking? Thursday.
Unless that Thursday's great.
I'll make a res.
[GIGGLES.]
So you'll be joining us? Thanks.
But me and this guy have plans.
What are we doing? [GIGGLES.]
You're funny.
Hey, seriously, what are we doing? Do you know? Hey, guys! Chungalo! [CHUCKLES.]
Trying that one out.
Didn't look good.
Kimch, ready for a life-changing experience? You found my dad? - Uh, you're traveling to India? - [JUNG.]
Even better.
Discount passes to go skydiving this weekend.
- Boom! - [SHANNON.]
Get out! I would die to skydive this weekend.
Sure, there are risks.
Twenty people die every year.
Some from impact, others shredded in the propeller, but, so worth it.
So fun.
Look, normally, I'd be all over jumping out of a moving airplane, but I got a frisbee game.
Ultimate frisbee.
Come on, man! You just made that up.
Yeah.
I would have said I had a family thing.
Okay, so do you wanna go? No, I actually do have a family thing.
[SIGHS.]
Come on, Kimch! It'll be great.
Jumping out of a plane, nothing around you but sky! And planet Earth is just rushing towards you and there's this tiny part of you that doesn't want to pull the cord.
We're definitely gonna pull the cord.
Obvi.
And it sounds like fun, but I can't let the Ultimate team down.
[SIGHS.]
All right, man.
You're missing out.
And right when you land, you scream from your gut like a warrior who's just slaughtered her enemies.
It's ah-maah-zing.
- [SLURPING.]
- [DOORBELL JINGLES.]
- Hey, Mr.
Kim.
- Gerard? Janet said I could come by and grab some snacks? For apartment? Well, actually it's for boardgame night.
Settlers of Catan with Seafarer expansion.
- [APPA SLURPING LOUDLY.]
- Why you do like that? So embarrassing.
I know, but I just don't see these guys very often.
Oh, hi, Gerald.
No, I talking to him.
I hate when he using dirty pig spoon.
Oh, not dirty pig spoon.
Clean army spoon.
It's actually kind of dirty.
Yeah.
Been through a lot.
Two year Korean army.
You were in the army? Yeah.
Trained to fight.
And to clean up garbage at side of road.
- [APPA SIGHS.]
- Cool.
Not cool.
Very hot.
And dangerous.
Always fighting to survive, hmm? One time, whole platoon is just so hungry.
Ration finish.
No meat.
No fruit.
Only gum and mint toothpick.
We'd all left to die.
[UMMA.]
Yeah, yeah.
You find pig, catch pig, everybody live.
Okay, see you! So, like I say, giant wild boar You weren't saying that.
Running this way and that way and it's very dangerous, hmm? So, we slowly surround big, wild boar and then [IMITATING GUNFIRE.]
Was that Russians? Or Chinese? Running and chasing and people still shooting, but, you know, we just so hungry! And then I see hole in the ground for army bathroom.
So I jump onto pig and drive all around and into hole.
Into the latrine? And then at the last second, I jump off! - That's amazing! - Not finished yet! Pig still in hole.
So I get a rope, like a cowboy, and I catch a big wild boar, and then Don't say you ate it.
With this spoon.
[SLURPS LOUDLY.]
That's incredible.
Also, kind of disgusting.
That's hard Korea army life.
Actually, this is kind of perfect.
Do you mind if I take a picture? Why? It's not every day you hear a war story first-hand.
Not so much a war story, more like a army story.
Well, I have a photo essay due, and I just met a genuine war hero.
Gerald, you know that the Korea War is finish in 1953, right? Thanks to people like you, Mr.
Kim.
[SIGHS.]
Okay.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS.]
[LAUGHTER.]
I know! Mr.
Sherman's a great teacher, but then he's like, "Janet, I know you hate me.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
I just want to let you know I'm having a showing.
I want you to come, so my mother thinks I'm popular.
And open to diversity.
" Oh, my God.
That is so him! That's hilarious.
You guys want another bottle? I think I'm good.

- Yeah.
Sure.
- Do you think I offended her? - What? No.
- It was funny.
- I mean, she was a bit - Right? - [SEMIRA.]
It was nothing.
And if she can't take a joke, F it.
There's just a power imbalance, you know? - Oh, 'cause she's black? - No! Because I'm a customer, and she's a server.
I think you're overthinking it.
And she was practically begging you to make that joke.
F it.
Someone was asking about tea? Her.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Um, where's the other server? She had to go.
Oh, my God.

Okay, remember when the trashcan in the store caught on fire? Yeah.

[APPA.]
Wow! Look! So big.
So exciting, huh? Not every day your husband have a big exhibit.

No.
I call Janet.
Oh.
- But it's fine, right? - Easy mistake.
And it's not because they were both black.
They looked a lot alike.
And how many times have I been mistaken for a different Asian girl? How many? Well, it's not how many times, it's that you get mistaken because of your skin color.
Didn't you just say that wasn't the reason? Oh, my God.
I'm a racist.
Yeah, maybe a little bit.
I can't believe I made a white-guy mistake.
Asian girl, white guy, not so different anymore.
Your privilege is on the rise.
And, how bad is it to say you want to check out a woman's box? I should go back and apologize.
And then sign up for some sensitivity training.
Yeah.
"MeToo", Janet.
Why, what'd you do? [MAN.]
Sir.
Thank you for your service.
You welcome.
Why he say like that? Because it say you is "Korean War Hero.
" What you tell Gerald? Nothing.
I just tell him pig story.
All these people think you is Korean war hero.
And 90 years old.
Hey, you guys made it.
Gerald, why you write all this? I don't know, just telling your story.
How old you think he is? Oh, Mrs.
Kim, don't worry, the camera adds years.
You look great.
No, but this is just pig story.
So modest.
And, hey, check this out.
[APPA.]
Second place? Oh, congratulation! For you.
Hey, thanks.
My mom used to drink these all the time.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm looking for one of your servers, Alicia.
There are actually two servers named Alicia.
Well, um, she's about this high, has cool braids in her hair.
- Dark skin? - You said it, not me.
I don't know if she's come in yet.
Janet? Oh, hey! Chelsea.
- This is Janet, my other roommate.
- Hi.
This is my friend, Sarah.
What brings you here? Just had such a good time the other night, wanted to thank our server.
Wow.
We've never done that.
You're gonna make us look bad.
Hi.
Chelsea Chettiar.
Well, we're just going to grab lunch.
- Great to see you.
- Mmm-hmm.
I'm sorry, Ms.
Chettiar, but there's a flag on your file here It seems that your membership has been recently suspended.
[CHELSEA.]
Um [DOORBELL JINGLES.]
Hi.
Hi, Mr.
Kim.
Recognize these guys? No.
Fellow Korean War vets.
The donation sparked some interest.
What donation? The prize money.
From the exhibit.
I thought it only fitting to donate to the association on your behalf.
Yeah, thanks.
Thought I'd get a picture of all the brothers in arms.
[UNZIPS BAG.]
Yeah.
[CHELSEA.]
When was this? Just a few days ago.
I'm looking into it right now.
[CHELSEA SIGHS.]
I can explain.
When I was here the other night, I made a stupid joke about checking out the server's box of teas.
But I just said "box", as in her And, I don't know why I said that.
Or why the word "box" means, you know Why is it even a term for that? And, anyway, the server was offended, obviously, and when I came back to apologize, I mistook her for another, um, server, making an unintentional other kind of mistake, which is also unacceptable and that's why your membership's been suspended.
I'm sorry.
Um.
Okay.
And here's Alicia.
[ALICIA.]
Hi.
Hi.
This is for you.
It's a tip for Thursday night.
Birthday party with my friends.
- Tea box.
- Yeah, I felt sick.
Me, too.
I felt sick thinking about what I said.
No, I had some kind of flu bug.
But what did you say? She wanted to check out your box.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, because of the tea? That's hilarious.
Wow! This is very generous.
Thank you.
Well, sure.
[HOST.]
Thanks.
It seems your family's payment went to the wrong account, so the suspension has now been lifted.
We're so sorry about the mix-up.
No problem.
That's great to hear.
Janet, you sure you don't wanna join? [CAMERA CLICKING.]
Okay, now, everyone, hold up your spoons.
- [APPA CLEARS THROAT.]
- [CAMERA CLICKING.]
Yours is a lot shinier than mine.
You look very well-preserved.
Thank you.
I still got some shrapnel in my thigh from a firefight at Kapyong.
Mr.
Kim, tell them your pig story.
I don't think so.
[VETERAN 1.]
Too painful? We all carry those stories that still haunt us, keep us awake at night.
Okay.
Uh Maybe little misunderstanding, huh? I was in Korean army.
Not in Korean war.
You're a deserter.
No.
I was born after Korean war is finish.
I have spoon, but Gerald, he just such a confused boy and make such a silly mistake thinking I'm in war.
[STAMMERS.]
But I thought You think wrong.
So you're not a real veteran? No.
But the cheque is real, right? I mean, that one isn't, but the regular-sized one is good to go.
All right, let's take this picture.
- Not you.
- Okay.
Ah, look at you, walking around.
Well, I had really good care.
Just want to bring you something.
Oh.
Thanks, Ajuma.
[SPEAKING KOREAN.]
Oh, Ajuma, this is my dad's auntie.
Gomo, this is Mrs.
Kim who I was telling you about.
[BOTH SPEAKING KOREAN.]
Okay.
Bye, Gomo.
Okay.
[UMMA SPEAKING KOREAN.]
So, she is helping you now? Yeah, well, what you said the other day about family really got to me.
I realized I hadn't seen anyone on my dad's side since I was a kid.
So, as far as this whole emergency contact thing goes, you're off the hook.
Yeah, okay.
But, still, can you trust her? Like you say, you don't see her since you was a kid.
Yeah, well, that was like more on me.
And so slow to get to hospital on bicycle.
Yeah.
Maybe I need two emergency contacts.
Good idea.
And put me down first.
Sure.
You want some? - She make? - Yeah! No.
So? Yeah, it was pretty cool.
And that moment you jump out, you think you're not gonna do it, but then you just go for it.
Oh, my God, that moment, so crazy.
Well, I got hit in the head with a disk.
That was also crazy.
And did you go solo or tandem? Solo.
And European or smoke-jumper style? Uh Either way.
It's life-changing.
But you already know that.
- I'm gonna go jump on some calls.
- [JUNG CHUCKLES.]
Without a parachute.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
[SIGHS.]
I never did it.
I mean, I went but I never jumped.
It was a lot higher than I thought.
So, I just flew back down with the pilot.
So what did the pilot say? Nothing.
Super-quiet ride.
He must have been disappointed.
She.
Ouch.

Anyway, you were great, and at the end of the night, you offered more wine.
- I asked about tea - Sorry, when was this? - Thursday.
- I didn't work Thursday.
Remember? The whole tea-box thing.
Totally dumb, and I get that it was maybe a little bit harrassy No, I have a night class Thursday.
You might be mixing me up with Oh, my God.
Alicia, someone wants to talk to you.
Who? Why I am your emergency contact? You're like the closest thing to family I have here.
- What about your own mummy? - She's in Calgary.
[UMMA SIGHS.]
Can I have another pillow? For my foot? Whoo! You missed an awesome time, Kim! You gotta "dive to feel alive," man.
- Jung? - Umma? What diving awesome time? Uh In a pool.
I learned to dive in a swimming pool and felt alive.
- Oh.
- So that's good.
What happened to you? Ugh.
Kimchee get hit in head by toy frisbee disc.
Just "disc.
" And the girl who threw it was a beast.
Okay, have to go.
You look after.
And the next time, make Jung emergency contact, huh? My mum's your emergency contact? Yeah.
Can you believe? Sorry, Kimchee.
Already I am so busy being emergency contact for Appa and Janet and Jung.
[SARCASTICALLY.]

Totally.
Why you say like that? I'm just saying it the way that anyone would.
Jung, who is your emergency contact? Uh Janet.
[GASPS.]
Janet? Tiny-arm Janet? Your arms are pretty small, too, Ajuma.
What is Janet going to do? Flag down ambulance with her tiny arms? Hey, listen, you're a great Umma.
It's just, in certain emergency situations [UMMA SIGHS.]
Okay, remember when the trashcan in the store caught on fire? Yeah.
I didn't do that! Yeah.
But then you panicked, threw the trashcan in the dumpster, then the dumpster caught on fire.
What I'm supposed to do with trashcan on fire? Throw on street? Then maybe whole street catch on fire.
Okay, calm down You calm down.
I save store from fire.
I save Kimchee from frisbee disk.
- Not really.
- I helping everyone! And it's all great.
Good luck next time you go diving at the pool.
Hope you don't drown.
[BOTH EXHALE.]
Good thing you didn't tell her about the skydiving.
You go skydiving? I swear I heard the door close.
[APPA.]
Wow! Look! So big.
So exciting, huh? Not every day your husband have a big exhibit.
Gerald have big exhibit.
Without me there is no story.
No story, no downtown big exhibit.
Oh! I look terrible.
[SCOFFS.]
That's not you.
There, that's you.
Wow! Look how strong I look, huh? Oh! "Army survivor.
" Yeah.
"Escape danger.
" [CHUCKLES.]
Yobo, if something happen to you, who you put down for contact? What? If you get hurt, I am your emergency contact, right? Yeah.
Totally.
Why you say like that? Uh I just say like everyone else say.
Oh, thank you.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Yobo, am I your emergency contact? Uh No.
Janet is.
Why is Janet everybody emergency contact? Oh, she not.
I her emergency contact.
So I'm nobody emergency contact? You tell me, you have Kimchee.
Next time big fat pig chase you down hole, don't call me.
No.
I call Janet.
Oh.
- But it's fine, right? - Easy mistake.
And it's not because they were both black.
They looked a lot alike.
And how many times have I been mistaken for a different Asian girl? How many? Well, it's not how many times, it's that you get mistaken because of your skin color.
Didn't you just say that wasn't the reason? Oh, my God.
I'm a racist.
Yeah, maybe a little bit.
I can't believe I made a white-guy mistake.
Asian girl, white guy, not so different anymore.
Your privilege is on the rise.
And, how bad is it to say you want to check out a woman's box? I should go back and apologize.
And then sign up for some sensitivity training.
Yeah.
"MeToo", Janet.
Why, what'd you do? [MAN.]
Sir.
Thank you for your service.
You welcome.
Why he say like that? Because it say you is "Korean War Hero.
" What you tell Gerald? Nothing.
I just tell him pig story.
All these people think you is Korean war hero.
And 90 years old.
Hey, you guys made it.
Gerald, why you write all this? I don't know, just telling your story.
How old you think he is? Oh, Mrs.
Kim, don't worry, the camera adds years.
You look great.
No, but this is just pig story.
So modest.
And, hey, check this out.
[APPA.]
Second place? Oh, congratulation! For you.
Hey, thanks.
My mom used to drink these all the time.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm looking for one of your servers, Alicia.
There are actually two servers named Alicia.
Well, um, she's about this high, has cool braids in her hair.
- Dark skin? - You said it, not me.
I don't know if she's come in yet.
Janet? Oh, hey! Chelsea.
- This is Janet, my other roommate.
- Hi.
This is my friend, Sarah.
What brings you here? Just had such a good time the other night, wanted to thank our server.
Wow.
We've never done that.
You're gonna make us look bad.
Hi.
Chelsea Chettiar.
Well, we're just going to grab lunch.
- Great to see you.
- Mmm-hmm.
I'm sorry, Ms.
Chettiar, but there's a flag on your file here It seems that your membership has been recently suspended.
[CHELSEA.]
Um [DOORBELL JINGLES.]
Hi.
Hi, Mr.
Kim.
Recognize these guys? No.
Fellow Korean War vets.
The donation sparked some interest.
What donation? The prize money.
From the exhibit.
I thought it only fitting to donate to the association on your behalf.
Yeah, thanks.
Thought I'd get a picture of all the brothers in arms.
[UNZIPS BAG.]
Yeah.
[CHELSEA.]
When was this? Just a few days ago.
I'm looking into it right now.
[CHELSEA SIGHS.]
I can explain.
When I was here the other night, I made a stupid joke about checking out the server's box of teas.
But I just said "box", as in her And, I don't know why I said that.
Or why the word "box" means, you know Why is it even a term for that? And, anyway, the server was offended, obviously, and when I came back to apologize, I mistook her for another, um, server, making an unintentional other kind of mistake, which is also unacceptable and that's why your membership's been suspended.
I'm sorry.
Um.
Okay.
And here's Alicia.
[ALICIA.]
Hi.
Hi.
This is for you.
It's a tip for Thursday night.
Birthday party with my friends.
- Tea box.
- Yeah, I felt sick.
Me, too.
I felt sick thinking about what I said.
No, I had some kind of flu bug.
But what did you say? She wanted to check out your box.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, because of the tea? That's hilarious.
Wow! This is very generous.
Thank you.
Well, sure.
[HOST.]
Thanks.
It seems your family's payment went to the wrong account, so the suspension has now been lifted.
We're so sorry about the mix-up.
No problem.
That's great to hear.
Janet, you sure you don't wanna join? [CAMERA CLICKING.]
Okay, now, everyone, hold up your spoons.
- [APPA CLEARS THROAT.]
- [CAMERA CLICKING.]
Yours is a lot shinier than mine.
You look very well-preserved.
Thank you.
I still got some shrapnel in my thigh from a firefight at Kapyong.
Mr.
Kim, tell them your pig story.
I don't think so.
[VETERAN 1.]
Too painful? We all carry those stories that still haunt us, keep us awake at night.
Okay.
Uh Maybe little misunderstanding, huh? I was in Korean army.
Not in Korean war.
You're a deserter.
No.
I was born after Korean war is finish.
I have spoon, but Gerald, he just such a confused boy and make such a silly mistake thinking I'm in war.
[STAMMERS.]
But I thought You think wrong.
So you're not a real veteran? No.
But the cheque is real, right? I mean, that one isn't, but the regular-sized one is good to go.
All right, let's take this picture.
- Not you.
- Okay.
Ah, look at you, walking around.
Well, I had really good care.
Just want to bring you something.
Oh.
Thanks, Ajuma.
[SPEAKING KOREAN.]
Oh, Ajuma, this is my dad's auntie.
Gomo, this is Mrs.
Kim who I was telling you about.
[BOTH SPEAKING KOREAN.]
Okay.
Bye, Gomo.
Okay.
[UMMA SPEAKING KOREAN.]
So, she is helping you now? Yeah, well, what you said the other day about family really got to me.
I realized I hadn't seen anyone on my dad's side since I was a kid.
So, as far as this whole emergency contact thing goes, you're off the hook.
Yeah, okay.
But, still, can you trust her? Like you say, you don't see her since you was a kid.
Yeah, well, that was like more on me.
And so slow to get to hospital on bicycle.
Yeah.
Maybe I need two emergency contacts.
Good idea.
And put me down first.
Sure.
You want some? - She make? - Yeah! No.
So? Yeah, it was pretty cool.
And that moment you jump out, you think you're not gonna do it, but then you just go for it.
Oh, my God, that moment, so crazy.
Well, I got hit in the head with a disk.
That was also crazy.
And did you go solo or tandem? Solo.
And European or smoke-jumper style? Uh Either way.
It's life-changing.
But you already know that.
- I'm gonna go jump on some calls.
- [JUNG CHUCKLES.]
Without a parachute.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
[SIGHS.]
I never did it.
I mean, I went but I never jumped.
It was a lot higher than I thought.
So, I just flew back down with the pilot.
So what did the pilot say? Nothing.
Super-quiet ride.
He must have been disappointed.
She.
Ouch.
