drink

I should go my treat it's the least I

can do

I've been in your situation before the

last thing you want to do is be alone

home hmm feel better you know you know I

know intellectually that everything's

gonna be okay

there's a side of me that's it's racing

and anxious and imagining all the awful

things

like telling my parents that I had

contracted HIV they'd be heartbroken for

sure they'd also think I'm a hole and no

there I'll go over when I'm ready bring

your friend - hi I'm Lisa Kevin I

actually should get going come by

always nobody can't

he would be good the anemone or thank

God gee yeah

[Applause]

so you know any Korean songs no my

parents are from Taiwan is everyone here

Korean yeah

support group really we're all part of

this massive Facebook group and the

Angelenos we meet here in k-town every

month that's that's really cool so

you're adopted

yeah and I'm actually going to Seoul in

that's that's that's great

yeah nerve-wracking I mean I feel like

my whole life is light up to this point

to Gino and the journey ahead come back

come back let's take a picture okay I

can go

[Music]

it's weird I'm not using hangouts only

agent I mean I went to Chinese Baptist

Church when I was a kid and all that but

as an adult I'm

didn't think I was gonna be Asian

that's what happens when you refuse to

send the face pic do you know your

thumbs up you pick this one just change

it to the next one oh you have to say

[Music]

my

[Music]

[Laughter]

some

looking fine the rain fell away going in

some time

[Music]

that was fun it was all the Asians you

say the most offensive things but I

don't know if you're joking okay I don't

avoid Asian company I just

actively seek it out okay so I grew up

in the neighborhood that was always at

schools the kids would call me ching

chong a Chinese boy karate kid

so if I wanted to have any friends I had

to be white

became my comfort zone do you connect

your heritage at all I do I speak

Mandarin

I visit Taiwan every few years with my

parents tell him that I've never had

that

then it started turning into this agent

pick

just wouldn't go away it started

affecting my entire life

it's like you know that movie Skyfall

Adele sang the theme song so yes there's

this part with

her friends made the greatest agents and

it's true because we're constantly

overachieving

looking to fill that hole I'll say

you're so goofy

you know you love it do I

so how did

well my first Asian boyfriend was

Japanese he told me to just go to

Koreatown and eat so that's what I did

first I learned the food then the

language cuz you got to know how to

order it

Koreans cuz we all hold up the same food

leaving Koreatown it's just centered

there's a magic in this place that's

like me in the SUV when I'm there it's

like I'm

T and agents who grew up there they're a

different race yes they're they're

self-confident well adjusted and they

neuroses and low self-esteem you have a

quip for everything only when I'm trying

to impress someone

how you feel like everything's gonna be

okay I think it's you

you know I've always fantasized that one

day when I go on these hookups it'll

won't last all night granted we got off

there pretty traumatic sorry but now I'm

having a great time and I think it's you

just something about you that makes me

feel safe

are you married

woman that's kind of hot not that

and going away for humans it's fine by

me

still be single when you come back Kevin

I think you're a great guy and this in

no way

to be in a relationship I never asked to

be in relationship is this because of

that pit you're trying to fill maybe I

just like to have sex no commitments no

attachments I've tried open

relationships

me I need my freedom

it's not you I understand that is this

why you wouldn't kiss me no I don't kiss

as a rule it's just it's too intimate

you know some might say that's sticking

yeah I can't explain that but for me

it's different yeah well your definition

of intimacy is ridiculous it is you've

had

she didn't even the Japanese guy that

put you in touch with your heritage

are you are you hanging with me out of

I just I wanted to get that out there

I wanted to manage your expectations

you've got a plane to catch

are you sure thanks for everything

I hope you find your parents I really do

I'll let you know

bye

hey Gino

some new boots again it's a dish that

was actually meant to right here in

Koreatown by mother of three in the

1990s the dish became so popular that

the Korean tourists actually took it

back

cemented some new boots you get in the

pantheon of Korean cuisine so it's the

perfect blend of east and west

like Kobe tacos and corn cheese and me

well I was gonna say but too bad you're

great I'm sure of it I don't know I've

been in LA for three years and nothing

which is disappointing because I heard

that the gates here actually date Asians

the other day my coworker said that

Daniel Dae Kim is attractive for an

Asian guy it's fucked up I know and then

I said that

being and then he backpedaled with you

know what I meant I let it go cuz we

were at work but now I'm thinking I

shouldn't have

anyway I'm preaching to the choir you're

acutely aware of

reason why I didn't send a face pic not

for privacy they see am Asian when they

meet me and by then they've already

driven 45 minutes to meet you so - well

there's

it's our contempt for driving crosstown

is that why you slept with me cuz might

as well it doesn't matter we're not on a

date then answer the question you've

been

make me feel better but in fact it's to

make yourself feel better

mmm-hmm you flirt and you tease with no

intention of this going any farther I'm

forming a friendship I thought what this

is do

sitting across the table from a man who

just fucked you but doesn't want to date

you okay I call bullshit you rejected me

as soon as you saw my Korean face but I

get it

American that isn't attracted to other

agents you bitch about other people not

being attracted to Asians but you're not

attracted to Asians yourself

the point is that would have never

happened if you sell my face pic right

I used to be like you

all my boyfriends and girlfriends were

white

Chris he changed my life there's this

metamorphosis that happens when you're

having sex looking into someone's eyes

that look like your own being with him I

knew

looked like me I could love myself

well now you know why I wanted to kiss

you

you'll soon know

I wish we met under different

circumstances like five years into the

future when I'm ready to settle so

else on the agenda in Seoul I want to

check out the gay scene for some reason

South Koreans don't believe that gays

exist they think it's an exclusively

American

because they've never met the North

Koreans Oh maybe you'll discover you

have an identical twin like in that

documentary twisters and then you have

this real-life alternate timeline

version of

don't think I could handle that just

introduce them to me I'll take that

okay

good luck finding your

[Music]

good

my god

no other jobs guy
