High Kick! Episode 45

Minho!

Hello. Is my mom in?

What happened? Are you hurt?

He fell while riding his bike.

Minho!

Oh, no! What's wrong? Minho?

Nothing, nothing.

He's using his brain now. He puts his money in the bank.

Count me out for now. I don't have any money.

I can't believe all I have is $30.

Hello?

Yunho, come down to the hospital.

Why? I'm busy.

- Hurry. - Why?

Hurry up, we're late.

Where are you going?

Mom wants me to come downstairs.

- Why? - I don't know.

Here, this is for Dr. Kim, this is for Munsik,

and this is for Jeongmi.

We can't go to three weddings. It's Saturday.

That's why I'm sending the two of you. You can split them up.

Let's go.

Why are you walking around with this attached to your rear?

Father, why were you standing there?

You idiot. Who are you trying to kill?

Oh, the smell.

Didn't I tell you I would block up that hole with cement if you ever did that again?

I'm sorry. It just came out.

That idiot. What is he trying to do, train me to withstand deadly gases?

Disgusting.

Are the kids gone?

Oh, my. What's that smell? Was it Junha?

Who else would leave a rotten stink like that?

It's a little strange.

What is?

It didn't smell like this before. There's something wrong with it.

So you're saying his farts smelled clean and fresh before?

No, but it was never this bad before.

What? You want me to carry him?

He can't walk on his own right now. If he does, he could aggravate it.

But why do I have to carry him? What did I do wrong?

Then who's going to carry him? Me?

Forget it. How am I supposed to carry him up to the fourth floor?

I don't like it either. I'll just use crutches.

No, it's not a level walkway. You can't go up stairs like that.

Carry your older brother, would you? Can't you do that for him?

Man, if I carry him up four floors, I'll seriously die.

You can pay me.

Pay you?

A transportation fee.

You pay when you take taxis and buses. You have to pay when you take my back.

You must be joking.

Hey, don't hit me. I'm not going to do it.

Fine, do what you want. I'm calling your dad.

Dad went to a wedding.

Fine. How much do you want?

What? Only $10. $20 would be better, though.

In your dreams.

How about this? If you carry Minho every time he needs you,

I'll give you a nickel for every yard.

A nickel for every yard?

How much do I get for going to the fourth floor?

Each flight of stairs is about 20 yards, so 60 yards times a nickel...

It's about $3.

What? That's nothing!

That's more than the basic rate for a cab.

I'm being very generous.

Are you going to do it or not?

It's too little!

Mom, he'll spend whatever you give him that day.

I can just use my crutches.

I have to go now. Hurry up and decide.

Minho says he doesn't really need you.

Get on, big brother.

Good.

You don't have to.

$3.

Minho, if he gets you properly to your bed, write him a receipt.

I'll give you the money later.

What? You don't believe your own son?

Get upstairs.

Man.

You weigh a ton.

Hey, I'm about to fall off. Give me some support.

Shut your mouth, big brother.

If you're not nice, I'm going to drop you and leave you right here.

Suit yourself. It's your loss.

I just won't write you a receipt.

You jerk.

Do whatever you want.

You're lucky I need money right now. Hey, big brother, do you have any money?

Nope.

Jerk.

Hey, watch it.

Give me a receipt.

You must really need money. You're actually following through.

Do you have to go anywhere else?

Maybe? Do you want me to call you?

Yeah.

Try to make it somewhere far.

Okay, last one, right?

I'm so sleepy.

I must have eaten too much. I feel like my stomach's going to burst.

Oh, man, the smell! Dude, you're so rude!

Hey, it's cold. Close the window.

Man, I should have known not to get into a car with you.

Honey? Yeah.

We're on our way to Munsik's wedding.

What? Oh, really?

Do you want me to pick you up?

Okay.

Hey, we need to pick up Haemi. She's going to the wedding, too.

Where is she now?

Her friend's theater.

Oh, right. Shinji's in the play there.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I tagged along with Junha. How are things?

I'm the worst out of everyone here. I'm in trouble.

How's that guy?

Youngmin? It's his day off. It's just the actors today.

Good luck, then.

- Are you leaving already? - Why?

I'm almost done with practice. Do you want to get some tea?

Since you're here anyway.

Tea? Well, since Haemi's going to the wedding... Sure.

I'll be done in 10 minutes.

Who is it?

- Delivery. - Just a minute.

Hey, taxi! Taxi!

What did he say? Taxi?

Hey, Lee Yunho taxi!

That little twerp.

- Honey, this came for Junha. - What is it?

I think it's the results of his physical.

One Love Hospital?

- It must be the results. - Yes.

Why did it take so long?

There's no way that fat boy's health is in good condition.

Hey, taxi. Take me to the rooftop room.

Stop calling me 'taxi.'

Are you going to take me or not? You don't have to.

It's about 50 yards to the roof, isn't it?

No way. It's barely 30 yards.

It's got to be at least 50 yards!

Do you want me to measure it on the way?

Let's see here now.

There's nothing big.

He's overweight, of course. High cholesterol.

Hey, he has achlorhydria.

Achlorhydria? What's that? Is that something bad?

He's not secreting gastric acids properly.

I thought his digestive system was strong. Just great.

What? What happens if he's not secreting gastric acids properly?

There has to be gastric acids in order to digest properly.

The kid eats like a pig, but the food isn't digested, so it strains his system.

Wait a minute. Is that why his farts smell so disgustingly putrid?

Is that related to the smell of his farts?

If the food isn't getting digested, it's just sitting in his intestines.

That's why it smells rotten.

See, see? No wonder!

I knew it.

His farts didn't always smell like that! What do we do?

What can we do? He has to stop eating so much and get rid of the constipation.

I just knew it.

His farts didn't smell like that before. I knew it was strange.

Oh, dear. What do we do?

Am I heavy?

You want to try? Just give me my receipt.

Hey, I need to go back down, you know. Just wait a minute.

I'll write you a receipt when we get back.

Man, how long are you going to be?

I'll be quick.

I'm not getting paid enough. This isn't fair.

I should have asked for more.

Enjoy.

It's the weekend, and you're working so hard.

I have a lot to do to catch up.

But aren't you the lead? Aren't you the She-Beast?

There are 10 She-Beasts. I'm number seven.

Man, one She-Beast is enough. Why are there 10?

That's got to be some show.

The name may be She-Beast, but just look at this face.

I guess things are working out well, now that I'm not in the picture.

What do you mean by that?

You always said I put obstacles in your life.

Oh, well...

I admit it now.

I guess I did mess things up for you.

What's that now? You're actually admitting to it?

I'm finally maturing.

Minyong, Minyong, Minyong!

Minyong, I made it! I made it!

What?

I made the second cut for the second annual university singing competition. Isn't it great?

I just have to make the next cut and I'm in!

Then I come out on TV and I get to be a real singer!

My orders came out.

What?

My orders came out.

I could have pushed it off some more, but my father is driving me crazy.

You're going to the army? When?

December 10th.

December 10th?

But that's the day of the third round of auditions.

So? I have to go the army. Are you saying that audition is more important?

That's great. Saying bye to me means nothing to you?

That's not it.

You better get your priorities straight.

So you're not going to see me off?

That's not it...

Hey, don't cry! Hush!

I'm not going to die. It'll be over before you know it.

Okay.

I was really torn then.

That means you liked me enough to pick me over that competition, doesn't it?

What? Does that mean I have a lot of problems?

I told you to take care of yourself. I told you to exercise.

You need to lose at least 20 pounds. And eat less.

Oh, man.

It's all my fault. All my fault.

What? Why is it your fault?

I should have known when his farts started smelling funny.

I was so busy with Jun that I just let it go.

Mother, his smelly farts aren't a disease.

His poor health is causing the smelly farts.

That's what I'm talking about. I'm not a doctor or anything.

All I can read are his farts.

When that changed, I should have known.

I didn't do anything though. It's all my fault.

How can you think that has anything to do with you?

It does. I have no right to be a mother.

Mom! Mom!

Pay me. Pay me for the receipts!

Receipt?

Lee Yunho, January 12th. First to fourth floor.

Total distance: 60 yards. He carried me the agreed upon distance,

so please pay him accordingly.

Let's see. First to fourth floor once.

Roundtrip from the fourth floor to the roof. Three times from your room to the bathroom.

Minho signed them all. It's all good!

$3, $3, $1.50.

That's $7.50.

But Mom, this is harder than you think. It was really tough. Just give me $10.

You know how much I dislike fuzzy math like that, don't you?

Oh, come on.

Whether it was for money or not, you did a good job.

Keep helping out your brother. Bring me the receipts and I'll pay you.

But Mom, this is really too cheap.

Can't you raise it a little? Mom?

I didn't know vegetable juice was so good. I should have made him take it long ago.

I was just too lazy to read.

Father, Father. What did you do with yesterday's paper?

I threw it out. Why?

I was going to cut out articles from it. Why did you throw it out?

You idiot, not again!

What's wrong with you? You're disgusting!

Hey, what are you doing?

He doesn't do it because he wants to. He's not well, that's why!

Mom.

How can a doctor do that to a patient?

What are you attacking me for?

What is it, Mom?

Junha.

Mom? What is it?

What happened to the smell?

How did it get disgustingly bad?

It wasn't like that before.

Mom?

I'm going to fix your sickness. I promise I'll fix you.

Mom will make it better.

Mom, I'm okay. It's not a big deal.

It's not unusual for it to smell bad.

No, Junha, you're wrong.

Mom.

What is this?

What are those two fatties doing?

What kind of movie are they filming now?

Stop making a big deal! Knock it off!

- Junha! - Mom!

Are you going home?

Yeah. What about you?

Me, too.

Let's catch the bus together.

Why were you so late?

Minyong, Minyong, Minyong! I made it! I made it!

What?

The Mutata Show! My professor recommended me.

I get to go on tour with them!

Isn't it great?

On tour?

Yeah! I leave in February and for one year we tour America and Europe. For free.

You're kidding, right? Father reserved the reception hall today.

What?

The date's set. March 5th.

For the wedding? I thought we were going to take our time.

That is taking our time. It's four months away.

It's a really great opportunity, though.

I'll never get another chance like this.

What? Woman.

So you're not going to marry me because of some show? Is that what you're saying?

No, but we can wait a bit, can't we?

A bit? You said the tour is for one year. That's not a bit.

Seriously? My mom's been looking at apartments and you want to wait one year?

You don't want to marry me, do you?

That's the only way I see it.

That's not it...

Shinji, we're at the airport. We're going to London soon.

Have fun.

I wish you were coming.

I won't be able to make it to your wedding. I'm sorry.

It's okay. Good luck.

What do you think of this place?

It's got a nice view. I really like it.

It's perfect for a newlywed couple.

Yes, it's nice.

Hey! Be careful.

It's still not enough. I need at least $100.

Don't you have anywhere else to go?

- Nope. - What about the bathroom?

- I don't have to go. - Man.

If you have to go somewhere, don't use your crutches. Tell me. Wake me up.

Drink this.

What is it?

Vegetable juice. It's really good for your digestive system.

- Vegetable juice? - Yes.

It's bitter. It's so bitter.

I'm going to be feeding this to you every chance I get. Got it?

It's so bitter, though.

January 12th.

I gave him his first glass of vegetable juice at 8:00 P.M.

Hold on a minute. What should I write?

Is Mother mad because I haven't been able to watch Jun these days?

Not really.

When we open, I'm going to have even less time. I hope it's okay.

I miss Jun.

Minyong, Minyong, Minyong! I made it! I made it!

What?

The musical, Sabrina. I made the cut! I made it! I made it!

Really? That's my wife!

I'm so happy! I'm really, really happy!

Minyong, I'm so excited!

So does it start right away?

No, practice starts next month, and we open in May.

What?

So this means you're pregnant?

Now what?

You jerk! I told you it wasn't safe!

You said you'd take care of it! Now what do I do?

That's weird. I wonder how that happened?

I don't care. I'm going to do the musical.

Who's going to use a pregnant girl?

You said the show's running for six months. You're going to get fired.

I'm going to the ob-gyn. Don't even think about stopping me.

Father, Father. Shinji's pregnant, but she keeps saying she won't have it.

Don't tell him! Don't tell him!

Right? It's ridiculous, isn't it? Would you like to talk to her?

Don't tell him! I said not to tell him!

But you know, they weren't really obstacles.

What?

Back then, I thought if I just had the chance, I would succeed for sure.

Now that I'm doing it, I realize it's a lot tougher than I thought.

It wouldn't have worked out anyway.

What's going on here?

I guess I matured some, too.

And I can't imagine not having Jun. He's so darling.

Hey! Taxi! Taxi, get up.

Don't you want to make some money? I need to go out.

It's too hard. I can't move.

If you're going to the bathroom, use your crutches.

I'm not going to the bathroom. It's really far.

I need to stop by the stationery store and then go to the rooftop.

It's over 200 yards for a trip to the stationery store.

That's not bad.

If it's too hard for you...

Get on.

Man, it's cold.

Can you go without shaking so much? I can't read.

What are you doing?

I can't take it anymore.

Do you know how hard this is? A nickel for every yard? I can't do it!

Come on, I'm in a rush.

Hello?

Mom! I can't do it anymore! Pay me more for carrying Minho!

Pay you more? Why I ought to...

You try it once! Do you know how hard this is?

Who said you have to carry him? You're the one who wanted money for it.

Give me more!

We're outside. If you don't give me more, I'm leaving him out here.

What? You little...

Lee Yunho, you better watch it.

Give me more! Give me more! I can't work for this cheap!

How much?

A dime for every yard.

No way. Six cents.

Man, I carry him just a couple times and my legs start shaking!

Mom, you try it! And look at the time!

It's almost midnight and he woke me up to use me like a dog!

Taxis charge more at this time, too. Give me a raise.

I won't go higher than six cents.

Mom!

Why you little...

Your brother is injured, and you won't help him for free?

You should be doing it for free!

Fine, forget it! I'm not doing it anymore!

Hey, taxi, where are you going?

Hey! You can't leave me here!

I don't even have my crutches! I don't have shoes!

Hey! Hey, Lee Yunho!

What is this?

I'm home.

You're late.

Yeah.

Listen...

Minyong and Junha came to the theater to pick up the pain-in-the-neck.

I had tea with Minyong since he was there and we just took the bus home together.

Man. I don't know why I'm telling you all this.

I just thought I should.

Thanks.

For what?

For telling me.

Man, I'm tired.

Do you want some ginseng tea?

What? He's waiting in front of the hospital. It's up to you.

Seven cents.

A dime.

I won't go above seven cents.

- Nine cents. - Seven.

Eight cents.

Eight cents. Okay? Mom? Mom, I really need the money.

Okay.

Eight cents? Okay?

That jerk.

Man.

Big brother!

Did you call a cab? I'm here!

What are you doing, you jerk? Let go, I don't need you!

I'm late because I was negotiating. I'm sorry.

Let go. You jerk!

You abandoned me for a few measly cents!

I don't need you! I can do it myself!

It's so hard to survive these days. Come on, I had to negotiate.

I said I don't need you! Knock it off!

My, my, aren't you disgruntled?

Come on, let's go. Let's go.

You have such a nice tushie.

A few days later

Where's the ear picker?

Honey?

Man.

What's this?

Farting Progress Chart

Farting Progress Chart? Na Munhee?

Reducing meat intake and increasing vegetable intake is supposed to be the best,

so I've been making him lots of vegetable juice.

I've also tried putting kelp in fermented soy bean stew, both good for constipation.

Mom, it's so hot.

10 more minutes. Just a little longer. You can do it.

He's taking hot baths 30 minutes morning and night to get rid of toxins, but...

Why you...

Day Two

The smell is still disgustingly putrid and takes forever to disperse.

He also lets out serial farts, three or four times.

He chain farts often, and it sounds like a bubbling brew.

Day Three

I hear green plums are very affective at settling the stomach.

I've started giving him essense of green plum before every meal.

We're still getting rid of toxins through the half baths.

Give me some more rice.

I've reduced his portions, too.

Day Five

His farts are less putrid smelling,

and the sound is a bit cleaner.

You're disgusting.

The crazy things that old bat will do. Goodness.

One week later

I wonder if my system finally cleared out.

What are you doing, Mom?

Are you making noodles?

Do you want chicken noodles? Or seafood noodles?

Seafood, seafood!

I knew it. Drink your vegetable juice.

Day Seven

The sound is nice and clear now.

It no longer smells putrid, and doesn't linger too long.

It disperses rather nicely.

I can tell the difference.

Junha's digestive system is back to normal.

[ Next Episode ]

What are you doing?

Is that a toy?

That boring old bat.

Innocent young master Sunjae. He doesn't know anything.

You two are going to play the leads. You're Romeo, and you're Juliet.

It's been two hours and you still haven't memorized the lines?

This is going to go down in Pungpa High's history as the worst play ever.

Romeo and Juliet, the Idiots.

Don't despair! We can get through this.

How?
