So, are we getting a full day for the holiday? While you were getting the coffee, I think you got another text.
Yeah, it's just my sister.
Full disclosure, I kind of peeked.
Mm-hmm.
Full-full disclosure, I kind of read a bunch of her texts, and it sounds like there's an emergency.
It's just a drip.
There's always a drip.
It's fine.
She can take care of it.
- Are you sure? - Shannon, I appreciate your concern, but with all due respect it's a complicated history.
You mean when you were 16 and you stole money, and you fought with your father, and you've never been back to the store since? Oh, I think you mentioned it at one point.
And I may have talked to Kimchee about it.
Anyway.
I really think you should answer it.
(GIGGLING) He's funny.
Oh, Illyanka, you have such beautiful hair.
Thank you.
Yeah, I always wonder, does a hairdresser cut their own hair? No, Natalia does it for me.
You know, when my husband say he want haircut, the barber say, "Which one?" (LAUGHTER) Sorry, Mrs.
Kim doing so much talking.
She not go out in long time.
Well, if she go home with Illyanka, instead of me, you never be my wingman ever again.
(LAUGHING) So This is very nice fabric.
I bet you it's made in China.
Don't take bet.
Nowadays, the only thing not made in China is baby.
That's not true.
Baby is made in Va-China.
(LAUGHING) Va-China! It's funny.
I had no idea Koreans were so funny.
I had no idea vodka was so delicious.
- To vodka! - Vodka! Come, Mr.
Chin! It's a good time.
Tell you what, we let you buy us all dinner.
Great, now we owe China $6 billion and dinner.
(DOOR BELL JINGLES) Oh, so you did get my text messages.
Yeah, sorry.
I had work.
Are Appa and Umma are really on a date? Yup.
Place hasn't changed much.
It's like a time capsule.
Here.
Yeah.
Let's see.
(GRUNTS) What? What'd you do? The same thing you did but harder.
Hey Remember when you got stuck in the cooler? I remember when you locked me in it.
Is that how you remember it? That's how it happened.
Nah, we had that game, from the show.
The Gummi Bears? Right, and you really believed Oh, God, what was that yogurt drink Umma made us drink all the time? - Yogeoteu? - Yogeoteu! Hold up Is "yogeoteu" just the Korean pronunciation of yogurt? Oh.
It's like you're getting smarter.
You're the one who thought it gave you super powers.
I was four.
Still you believed it.
And you told me to stick you in the cooler and you'd escape.
So I did.
Then you forgot I was in there.
I didn't forget.
What? Appa saw me putting you in the cooler and he tore a strip off my ass.
I should go.
Hey Umma made some gori gomtang.
You want me to heat some up for you? Gori gomtang, huh? There's yakbap, too.
Sure.
Oh.
Don't steal anything.
Hilarious.
You is terrible wingman.
You not supposed to be helping the Russians shoot down Tom Cruise.
What you talking? I keep you out of flaming cockpit.
You bring your wife.
She hogging all the talking, but she got no skin in the game.
Defend me from your wife's insult.
Talk up my many qualities.
Okay, okay.
I will be better wingman.
- How could you be worse? - I said okay! (DOOR BELL JINGLES) Hands on the counter! Open the cash and give me the money.
Got it.
Hurry up! (BUTTONS BEEPING) Hey, I only got It's okay, it's just my sister.
I know you don't want to hurt anyone.
Only if I get what I want.
Can you open the till? The big button.
Hit tax first.
There's only like 50 here.
Appa made the deposit before dinner.
50 bucks? Hey.
I'll give you 50 bucks for the knife.
What? You came in here selling a knife.
I bought it.
I paid 60 for the knife.
I've got, um - 75 for the knife.

65, what do you say? That was the most stupid thing I've seen you do.
And I've seen you do a lot of stupid things.
- He could've killed you.
- He was just a kid.
With a knife.
In his hands, this is not a knife.
It's just a bit of flash meant to intimidate.
Drop the weapon! 211 in progress.
Requesting backup immediately.
You don't like his beard? - Oh.
- This is a miracle.
Most Korean men, they cannot grow beard.
But this land is fertile.
Well, we can't all be handsome.
That's why I am so jealous of Mr.
Chin.
Especially, his, uh Uh His hand.
Have you look at his hand? - His hand? - So smooth Like a grape.
What you talking? Ah, smooth hand.
But not smooth like girl, smooth like marble statue.
Strong marble statue hand.
- Why you say marble hands? - I just saying I have nice beard, Mr.
Chin has nice hand.
But you said hand like raisin.
No, I say hand like grape.
Maybe face like raisin? Why do you say that? My face is very smooth.
That's what I say about your hand.
That they're like grapes.
Oh! Because they're sweet? - No.
- Oh! Good for making wine.
- Oh! - (LAUGHING) You not understand.
Because you're not making sense.
Look.
We have same size hand.
- Aw - So cute.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Look, look, look.
Mine is little bit bigger.
Just big enough to hold baby bottle.
(LAUGHING) He didn't buy the guy's knife so he could rob me with it.
Guy was waving a knife at her.
I'm guessing lovers' quarrel.
BOTH: Ew! Janet? Yeah? Oh, my God.
It's me, Alex.
- Hey! Face on the floor.
- Sorry.
You know each other? Yeah.
Alex Jackson.
I was your brother's friend.
Hey, Alex.
Oh, my Are you kidding? What are you doing down here? It's not what it looks like.
He claims he talked a kid with a knife down, and then bought the knife from him.
You bought the knife from the guy? - That's what happened.
- He was just a kid.
Didn't have a clue what he was doing.
All right.
