Looks like you won't have to do the dishes

since our Rando licked it clean.

That's funny.

Let's go inside kids.

Hey! Doesn't anyone work here?

Yes!

You called?

Do you actually work? Did you order or not?

I ordered awhile ago.

So then why isn't it here yet? Huh?

Uh, you're driving me nuts.

Hold your horses, I'll try to rush them.

What the... Prick!

Hey kid! That hurts!

Uh, are you trying to scrub all of my hair off?

Why hello! Welcome boss!

- You're busy. - No, we're not.

- Shall I come back next time? - Please sit.

- Hello. - Hi.

I'll get ready.

Hold on.

Sure.

Sir, we'll head back to the office.

Okay.

- Phew. - Just a shave?

Of course, just a shave. Do you do other stuff as well?

Oh, boss.

Okay okay.

Do anything you want to do, Miss Yu.

Your hands are the best invigorators.

Boss! Please help me open a shop at a good location.

What are you talking about?

You know the mall located at the intersection.

That's something you should talk to the building owner about.

I heard you've already gotten an exclusive contract with them.

Where did you hear such rubbish?

I'm being serious, sir.

I won't make you regret it.

Let's talk about it later.

Please think about it, sir.

Miss Yu.

Hey! Hey!

Get away!

Looks good.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Come over here.

That little...

Oh man!

Is-is Jin-ok going to pay your bills?

Hey. How dare you call out my future wife's name like that.

I've never seen you with that lighter.

A cool guy like me has to have a lighter like this, at the very least.

Did you snitch it from a customer?

Who really owns it? Finders keepers.

Hey, it's that old man again. Not a dull moment in this neighborhood.

Geese! I can't figure you out.

What did I do to make you this upset?

What's gotten you so upset?

Hey! You need to tell me what's wrong. Say something!

Darn it! Stubborn girl! Bullshit...

Hey! Myeong-hui, seriously what's wrong?

Myeong-hui? I'm not your friend.

Don't go around saying my name!

Look here!

Look here? You're so rude!

Fine! I don't know why you're so upset, but I've got to say what I've got to say.

- Fight away, but… - What was that in front of my friends?

Do you have to humiliate me like that?

Friends my butt, they're just a bunch of losers.

- What the… - I'm also a busy person...

You're really going to be like this?

Ex-excuse me! I'm also a busy person too.

Go away, man! What do you want, man?

You've ruined the food.

Fine! If you keep playing hard to get I'll change my mind as well!

Yeah, right! You think I give a damn?

Fine!

- Let's see who is going to regret it. - Pay for the food, please.

Wow, you're so sad,

acting like you're a real man.

Is it that big of a deal to you, that we slept together that one time?

What a retard!

Are you done?

Pay for the food, please!

What do you want, jerk?

Was I t-talking to you? Why are you cursing?

Are you trying to add fuel to the fire? Prick!

Wow, why did you hit me?

What did you say?

Don't worry about scum like him.

Uh, so disgusting...

Do you have change for 100,000 won?

Which one is it?

Huh?

Which restaurant do you work at?

Th-the place across the market called Donghwaru.

Okay. I'll send the money over later.

What just happened...

1,300 won and 1,500 won and 700 won.

All together it's 8,500 won!

It's not like the owner is loaded from selling his property...

It's going to come out of your salary. Okay!

Kid.

You're not done yet?

I'm almost done.

Do it in my room.

Hur...

Kid,

I'm letting you off, just this one time,

so don't ever get into an accident, again!

It-it's a bizarre world.

Hey farm boy don't use that smelly soy sauce for this!

Uh! Rude city idiot!

This soy sauce is the best way to get the taste right.

Oh right, I've got another farm boy friend with me.

Hey! Do you remember eating roasted frog's thighs when we were kids?

- It-it's good. - Yeah.

- It's just like chicken. - Right, you are.

These jerks are making me lose my appetite, again.

Hey! What was that? Right, fried grasshoppers.

Th-that's good as well.

My goodness.

Oh, you farm boys are really something.

Chun-sik, you don't seem like

a full Seoulite, yourself.

In a city of 8,000,000 people,

not even 80,000 are really from Seoul.

I was born and raised here, but

back then this wasn't part of Seoul.

Where were you born, Chun-sik?

I don't know.

I'm an orphan that doesn't know who my family is.

How would I know something like that?

But I grew up in Seoul...

He comes out in Mr. Choi's book.

He's very interested in love related structures.

Oh wow, you are a real Seoulite.

That feels good!

Hey!

Yeah?

You guys want to see that stuff tonight?

See that stuff?

Oh come on! Don't act all innocent! The stuff you saw last time.

You really don't remember?

Is-is there a-another customer like that at the motel?

Come on man! When did I ever lie to you?

Wh-when did they check in?

Look at this guy, why does something like that matter to you?

There's no use

if it ends like it did, last time.

So what you're saying is, if he falls asleep

the curtains close and the show ends?

Fine, if you don't want to come that's fine.

Gi-gil-nam! Wait for me!

Hey! You two

think that it's important for a girl to have a big mouth, right?

That's all bull.

You have to look at the girls lips.

Full lips on a girl,

that's what's important.

Hey!

Hey barbershop man.

You know, Miss Yu at the barber shop,

she would be useful in that area.

But I think that slut

has the hots for me.

Watch what you say man! Talking about stuff you don't even know.

What? Look at this crazy jerk!

Don't you glare at me like that.

Hey farm boy! Have you been in the city

too long to think straight now?

Hey! Did you see that Deok-bae?

This guy doesn't know when he's out of line.

Are you done talking?

Yeah, I'm done! What are you going to do about it?

You want a taste of this farm boy's punch?

Why are you guys acting like this? This could end up a real fight.

Didn't you say it as a joke?

It didn't sound like a joke to me!

Why did you have to make a joke like that, man?

Look here, jerk! Is Miss Yu your girlfriend or something?

Wake up and smell the flowers, man!

Jerk! If you think she is in your league

you're in for a big mess!

She's bound to become a slut!

This jerk!

Prick!

- Are you two messing around or fighting? - This rude little prick!

Farm boy loser!

Seriously, stop it!

Get out of the way, man!

Stupid jerk!

What?

I didn't like you from the start.

A kid, younger than me always calling me

farm boy farm boy,

and pushing my buttons.

You're younger than me, so who cares?

Wh-why you giving him a hard time about it?

Isn't that true?

You jerks!

Give me back my land!

Who dare builds homes without permission!

This is my land I used to

farm on. This is my land!

You jerks!

My land! Give it back!

Sir,

Sir, why are you acting like this again?

What if they take you back to the asylum?

What are you

going to do if they pin you as

a crazy person and send you back to the insane asylum?

I'm not going!

I'm not crazy!

Yes, I know you're not.

Stop! What if someone sees us?

Who cares?

Who's going to stop

a young man and woman from talking

in broad daylight?

Isn't that so?

You're so shameless.

Yeah, I would have nothing left if you took that away from me.

Anyways. I didn't ask you to come here to fight.

Actually,

didn't I tell you last time?

My plans to build a hotel.

Oh my goodness!

You called me out this early to talk about that?

Huh? It's not something to take lightly.

I even came up with an amazing name.

I've heard that over a hundred times.

You told me that last time. Hotel Jindal Rae right?

That's not the name anymore.

The name, Jindal Rae is...

I've thought about it

and it may be catchy to our ears, but

foreigners won't even know what it means.

So I have an idea.

I thought about it all night long.

Welcome!

I've decided on Hotel Welcome!

It's easy to remember and easy to say!

It's friendly and catchy. And what else?

Hotel Welcome!

Blacks are welcomed!

Whites are welcomed!

Yeah! Nakamura is okay, as well!

Mr. Wang can come as well. That's it

To sum it up,

no racial discrimination and

we don't care about skin color! This is it!

What do you think?

It's a great idea, right?

You're taking good care of the money you're keeping for me?

That will

become our startup money, little by little.

When we build our hotel,

you want to run our own hair saloon?

We only have five hundred thousand won right now!

That is the beginning!

We're already passed the half way point.

Since beginning is half of the whole...

For me...

I have to deal with sending my baby brother to school, right now.

If I can't...

I'm going to send him to school even if I have to sell my body.

Listening to you,

It feels like you think about things too lightly,

talking about selling your body like that.

I'm just saying.

I guess you're busy as well,

learning professional skills

and trying to take care of your brother.

Once I get my license I'm going to run an illegal saloon.

It's more profitable to do it like that

then to open a real store.

I didn't think you were like that,

but you're real savvy.

I'm just average.

Oh yeah?

Shall we commemorate being two average people with a kiss?

Ah, you smell like kimchi! Brush your teeth!

Hey you little twit!

How many times a day are you going to brush your teeth?

Save water, you little jerk!

Do you know how much our water bill was last month?

Eat more.

You're at the age where you still need to eat a lot.

How much longer are you going to be at the barbershop for?

Do you want to wash hair forever?

What else can I do?

How many times have I told you?

People get chances and those chances don't come often.

I didn't get a chance yet.

Oh you silly boy.

First, decide on a goal and see what happens.

It can be something small.

God helps those that help themselves.

You must first learn a technical skill.

Do you know what kind of world we live in?

It's going to get even harder as time passes.

There are too many people.

You know there are other countries that have it real good.

West Germany for example, encourage more births...

How many kids was it?

If you have a kid, the President will personally be the kid's godfather.

It's not just West Germany,

if you have a kid in France

the hospital bill is free

and they give you milk money and a stroller for free.

And if you have a third kid they

give you a lot of money as a reward.

They even loan you money to move into a bigger house.

Tax, transportation, help with payments. The benefits are crazy.

You know so much Miss Yu. How do you know all that stuff?

I read it in the newspaper.

Oh no!

Chun-sik! What are you doing up there?

Hey, come down!

Miss Yu!

Miss Yu!

I love you!

What?

Miss Yu!

Hey! Don't act like a kid and hurry down!

Now!

Miss Yu!

Why don't you get married?

Hey, do you live here?

Excuse me.

Excuse me. May I ask you something?

Where is Seonggok-dong 151?

You don't know?

I-I-I've heard it somewhere before.

- Uh, why is it so complicated. - Looks like another farm girl has come to the city.

Excuse me! Your fly is open!

Who is it?

Chinese delivery.

Be careful. Don't spill it.

Put it here, please!

Hello.

Why are you so surprised?

Hey, bring us two cups of coffee.

What are you doing?

Come sit here.

Me?

Yes.

Where are you sitting?

Come here and sit next to me.

I'm sorry about

last time.

No, it's okay.

How many spoons of sugar?

Huh?

Is it your first time having coffee?

Huh?

It's my first time in a place like this.

Try it.

Drink it.

Ah that's hot, hot!

I'm going to go now.

Hold on!

It's money for the food I ruined last time.

Here!

No no, it-it's okay. I didn't even bring your scarf.

Hurry up and take it. My arm hurts.

And have the scarf, it's a gift from me.

A little bit higher.

- Oh that's good. - Here?

Higher.

Your hands are amazing.

Those hands are really something.

You're kind of weird these days.

Why?

Are you by any chance seeing someone these days?

You must have met someone. You look prettier everyday.

I wish that were true.

Do you mean

that you don't have a boyfriend yet?

Who would want to have someone like me as a girlfriend?

Really? You want me to introduce you to someone?

Oh god that's cold!

I'm sorry!

Jerk, I get sick easily.

Be careful, kid!

I'm sorry, sir!

Oh my, Deok-bae!

What are you doing here?

You should write your address properly.

Do you know how hard it was to find you?

Come over here.

Why did you come to Seoul?

Why? Everyone else comes to Seoul, why can't I?

That's not it...

Don't worry. I didn't come here without a plan,

expecting you to take care of me.

My friend who works at a Yeongdeungpo factory

already got a me a job.

I have to go their tomorrow morning.

But still, you should have called...

Come on, don't you know me?

Hey! We meet again!

You came looking for Chun-sik?

Yes, he's my brother.

You two know each other?

She's my sister.

So you're saying this dirty farm boy here

was picking on a fellow farm boy?

Good riddance!

You get so excited when these boys come,

you give them so much extra food.

Chun-sik!

Here! Give this to your sister!

Here! Take it.

You've already paid for the motel and Deok-bae's paid for the food.

I know you two don't have money.

Hey man, it's not like I spent my own money to let her stay at the motel.

I just smooth-talked my way with the motel owner.

Yeah, me-me too.

I told Mr. Jo that she was my sister and he didn't charge me.

It's the first time in Seoul

that I've been treated like a real human.

You guys are the first ones.

There aren't any more young people in the countryside now.

Only old people and little kids.

Farming the land isn't a real job.

What young person wants to work so hard

when not even the elders work on the farms.

Anyways

mom must be so lonely

now that you've come here.

Chun-sik,

promise not to get mad

if I tell you something?

What? What are you going to say?

Actually,

mom's not single.

What are you talking about?

Mom's only forty years old.

She's already lived ten years alone. How can we ask her to continue to live alone?

It's not like she has a rice field to attend to,

or any family members.

She can't count on her only son in Seoul, either.

I forced her to change her fortune.

You mean, she remarried?

I'm a girl as well.

Once I get married I can't take care of her.

Who will want to marry her when she becomes a shriveled up old lady?

I forced her to remarry before she got too old.

Don't be too upset with her.

Who's the guy?

You know my friend Jeom-rye that lives in the next town over?

Jeom-rye's father?

Why? Not good enough?

It might be for the better.

Of course it is.

Jeom-rye's father is so kind.

I wasn't even a good son to her.

I hope she lives a happy life in her new marriage.

Oh um...

You said you were going to sleep at the hospital tonight. What happened?

I'm going crazy, I can't sleep.

Let's hurry up and go inside.

How is the old man?

I don't know. I don't know.

It's not an easily cured illness.

No...

You nasty people! I saw you!

I saw what you two were doing!

I saw it all, you nasty people!

I saw it all!

I saw it all! I know all about it!

I saw what you two are up to!

Come out here! I'll kill you two!

I'm going to kill you both!

Hey, man! It has nothing to do with us.

No!

No, I saw it! That's why I'm all alone now.

I said be quiet man!

They're crazy!

My mom did the same thing!

She did that! She did that! And then left me and ran away!

You must be mistaken...

I saw it very clearly. I'm not mistaken.

You don't know. Stuff like that...

So, just think that you're mistaken.

Doesn't that make you angry?

Retard!

Oh yes, yes, yes yes. That's right. Yes. Yes.

Yes, I understand.

Who are you talking about? How can I say no to you. Yes, yes.

Miss Yu, phone!

Me?

Yeah, is there another Miss Yu other than you?

Odd. Who would call me.

Hello?

Go to him.

Yes, I understand.

Use this opportunity to eat well.

Wh-what brings you here?

Why?

Did I come somewhere I'm not supposed to?

- Get out of there! - Yes, sir.

- Get out! - Yes!

Don't just stand there, come get this, Deok-bae.

You're working hard.

Why don't you have a drink as well, Miss Yu?

So early in the day?

One glass is okay.

Here, drink it.

There you go! All of it!

You're a good drinker.

Oh yeah, do you know how to dance?

No, I never learned.

Oh no, a modern girl should know how to dance.

Do you want to learn?

I do, but...

Okay, you'll start tonight!

Shouldn't you pour me a drink, as well?

You're hands are amazing.

They're like magic hands.

Sit over there!

How much?

Thank you, goodbye!

Wh-what do you want?

An order of black-bean noodles.

You really shouldn't be working.

This is so bad for your health.

You should think of your body.

Don't worry.

I know my body best.

What are you doing Mr. Jo? You delivering?

I've been sitting at home too much. I'm trying to lose weight.

When are you going to change the name on Donghwaru?

Shush!

Do the books correctly.

There are a lot of mistakes.

Dear!

Oh no!

Oh no! Rush him to the hospital!

Hyeong-tae, go hail a cab!

He called me that...

Sun-tae called me a retard.

I don't care if I'm a retard I just want to live a long life.

I want to live a long life.

Oh no. My my.

You must have been starving.

Don't worry about money and eat up!

Hurry and give it to him.

Deok-bae.

The owner is such a wuss!

Th-the owner died.

You've got to hold things back.

Pre-pretend like you didn't see stuff.

Pre-pretend like you didn't hear stuff.

Pre-pretend like you're a mute even if you want to speak.

I know how to not st-stutter.

But after a few rough years in Seoul

I've learned

you can't say or do as you please.

Are you sure you have a place to go to?

Don't worry. I'm different from you.

Believe it or not

I used to be a decoy at Seoul Station.

I'm sorry I couldn't give you more.

Call me once you're settled down.

Go!

Thanks!

Deok-bae!

I'm going to st-stutter from now as well.

Okay.

Hello!

Looks heavy!

- It must be your day off. - No, I work the night shift today.

I wanted to

thank both of you for your help last time.

It's not much, just a pair of socks.

Thank you very much.

I'm embarrassed.

Oh yeah, what was the other guy's name?

Right!

Give one to Gil-nam, please.

We must have a special connection.

I've met you on the road twice already.

Don't you think so?

Yeah?

And? You don't like me, right?

I'm sure of it.

To you I'm too much of a tomboy.

You must not like me

since I'm such an unruly girl.

It's not like that...

Hello?

Is that your girlfriend? That girl?

No, no.

Then what is she?

F-friend's sister.

You're on a date with your friend's sister.

Excuse me!

What is it to you if I am or am not his girlfriend?

I don't know what kind of relationship you two are in, but

how rude of you to cut in like that in the middle of our conversation.

A girl sitting in a car like that.

Do you, by chance, have time on Sunday?

Huh?

Are you free on Sunday?

I can show you something fun.

Why, you don't want to?

No.

Then come to my place by 10:00 on Sunday.

I'll be waiting.

Bye bye miss.

Wow.

You're really good, Deok-bae.

When did you get such a pretty Seoul girl?

Oh boy, oh boy.

Look here!

Don't be so happy about it!

Looks like she's going to play you.

It always rains on Sunday.

So you're dating a female driver?

No, don't talk about stuff you don't know.

Don't you dare fool me.

I heard all about it from Chun-sun.

She's not a driver, she owns the car.

What's going on?

Hey! Why are you all decked out? What's going on?

Hey, there.

Working hard on a Sunday?

Did you get fired from Donghwaru?

Poor kid, is that the best you can come up with?

What's going on?

Would you even be able to understand if I explained it to you?

I'd rather not explain.

Ah, why don't you just kiss my butt!

What do you want?

Huh?

Did you order Chinese?

No. He said you asked him to come...

I did?

Right...

Oh, I totally forgot.

Is it Sunday today?

I completely forgot.

Oh no.

I totally forgot about it

and was planning to sleep all day.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

How much is it?

Shirt and pants come out to 9,500 won.

9,500 won?

I'll buy this.

Oh, Deok-bae.

Wasn't that girl I saw last time, jealous of me?

N-no.

Didn't you two get closer because of me?

N-no.

We re-really aren't anything.

Then

have you never dated anyone before?

No.

You've never kissed anyone either?

Have you?

No.

Then,

you want me to teach you?

What are you waiting for?

Come on.

Are you serious?

Of course, come on.

Wi-will it

really be okay?

Come on, now!

That's so funny.

I knew it.

Deok-bae!

Guess where I am!

You must think I'm your toy.

What are you doing? Hurry up and look for me!

I said look for me!

Deok-bae!

Deok-bae!

Deok-bae, are you upset?

I think we should go.

Let's dance!

Come on!

I can't dance.

Dance however you want.

Come on, like this.

What happened?

Do you really want me to teach you how to kiss?

I can't!

Get out!

Now!

If you make what happened today an issue,

I'm not going to see you again.

I knew it.

Chun-sun was right.

Miss Yu.

You've got skills. Dancing I mean.

Miss Yu.

Don't you want to go out with me?

Someone as

lucky as you may have the luxury to easily date someone,

but I don't have such a luxury.

In my house,

I'm the only one that earns money.

I have a hard time trying put enough food on the table.

Such money problems

can be solved, no?

Tell me how I can help.

Huh?

Is he your father?

No.

This old man doesn't have a home or a family.

He doesn't look like he's from around here.

In the olden days, we all used to live here.

Olden days?

It's not even that long ago.

Just a few years back this was all farm land.

Those were the days.

Lots of farms and kindness.

This old man lost all of that land unfairly.

Miss Yu.

Shall I massage you today?

Even until yesterday

I wanted to come to a place like this with someone I loved.

Even if it is a lie,

can you tell me that you love me?

It's not a lie,

I really love you, Miss Yu.

I love you...

I've never told you this before,

but my father was a plasterer.

We're poor, but he is someone very kind and special to me.

I've heard plasterers make a decent living these days,

but father is ill and unable to work.

Even while he's sick, in bed, he constantly worries about me.

He worries that I might go out to a bar

or do something bad to support him and my siblings.

Do you know Roots?

Roots? Cabbage roots?

I'm talking about Kunta Kinte.

My grandfather used to make hats.

So if you trace my family roots, you get:

plasterer, hat maker, fix-it man, paperer, an exorcist.

We're a just a family of laborers.

Have you ever wondered

what all those rich people's roots look like?

I know how people look at me!

They talk about how a stupid country guy that used to sell cabbages

get's inside information on real estate and suddenly gets rich.

That's not all!

People curse at me and say

I've forgotten about poverty and became a loan-shark, abusing the poor.

Is the world better or worse because of what I do?

No it wont!

There are so many others that will do it, even if I don't.

Aren't I silly,

telling you all of my inner thoughts, like this.

I guess even a guy like me

get's lonely sometimes.

Excuse me, does Jo Chang-ho work here?

Jo-Jo Chang-ho?

You must be talking about Mr. Jo.

Yes, he's thirty five this year

and very fat.

How are you related to Mr. Jo?

He's his father.

Then you must have the wrong person.

Our Mr. Jo is a bachelor.

You have the wrong place.

That can't be.

In his last letter to me, it says Donghwaru.

Look.

What?

Oh no.

She's ruined my master plan.

I told her to wait at least a year.

Oh well, I'll have to deal with it.

It's all my luck.

What a mess.

Dear!

Father!

Hi.

I'm busy right now.

Argh!

You stupid man!

What? Bachelor?

You have two kids, and you call yourself a bachelor?

Jerk! Let's both die today, you jerk!

Jerk!

Get out! Get out now!

Get out of my sight! What a jerk!

Hold your horses!

Get out of here, jerk!

I said I'm leaving!

Where are you going?

You can't take a single penny from my house!

I've got to get my stuff too, no?

Did I just sit around here?

How brazen you are, you jerk!

You should be happy I'm not sending you to jail for fraud you, jerk!

Dear, honey.

Let's just go.

I have some money as well.

Of course you do.

You must have saved all that money you stole from me!

Look here.

I never received a penny from him!

It's all the money I earned from farming.

- Where do you think you're going, jerk! Where? - Let go!

- Where do you think you're going, jerk! - Let go!

Now that everything is out in the open, it's kind of bittersweet!

Looks like some guys live well even after doing wrong.

Good luck everyone!

Didn't you miss me? Let's go!

Oh my little baby

Don't come out.

Be well, Mr. Hwang and Deok-bae.

I'm sorry for having been so brazen.

If you meet Sun-tae, tell him it all worked out.

Here you go.

Say thank you.

That's so much money.

Go back.

Hey, Mr. Jo. Where are you going to go now?

I've learned some technical skills so I won't go hungry.

Make a lot of money!

Yeah, safe travels!

Oh hold on.

Goodbye!

The road the wanderer travels

is aimless.

You really made us wait.

Keep bringing them all the way in!

- That's right! - Bring it all the way over here!

Don't take all day! Man, you really made us wait.

Hurry up and put it on the table.

Give him a hand.

- Keep bringing the food in! - Put it down gently.

Do you have a grudge against us?

Yeah, that's got to be it!

Why would I hold a grudge against you?

Who knows if you have a grudge? No?

We're a bunch of young kids paying to have fun.

Show us a good time.

Be good. Be good.

Come here!

Call this number!

Yes?

Call a girl called Myeong-hui and tell her to hurry up and come!

W-who should I tell her is asking for her?

This here is Kim Jang-su.

Tell her, her husband is calling.

Husband!

Hurry!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Yes.

Yes.

What did you say?

Crazy bastard! What a jerk!

I don't know anyone like that!

Hello?

Who are you?

Oh yeah?

Okay. Tell the jerk to wait!

It's near closing time. Tell them to leave.

Hey, Deok-bae!

No, never mind.

Oh, Deok-bae!

As of tomorrow, you'll be watching the register instead of Mr. Jo.

Hey, it's time for us to close.

Hey! Tell the big guy to come!

You know that stupid tall guy!

Tell him to come now!

Hurry up and leave, now!

Hey! Prick! Close the door!

One! Two!

Three! Four! Five!

D-did you ask for me?

Yeah!

Hey, jerk!

Who did you call? How come she isn't here yet?

Are you trying to humiliate me?

She said she was going to come, what can I do about it?

Did you really call her? Jerk!

- Stop cursing. - Look at this guy.

Why are you calling me names?

Look at this jerk, talking back to us.

Talking back? Are you a lord or a god?

Wow, look at this jerk!

Think about it, what did I...

Stupid jerk!

Come over here, jerk!

Hey, a jerk like this needs to have some sense knocked into him!

- Yeah yeah. - You can't reason with him.

Stupid tall jerk!

Talking back to us.

- Are you done hitting me? - I'm fuming with rage.

What? What did you say?

I'm fuming with rage. Stupid jerk, come here!

I knew this would happen.

That girl Myeong-hui is always trouble.

They're in here! Here!

Which jerk is it?

- I'll show you! - Come here!

What are you doing?

Kick him! Kick him!

What? I can't hear you.

What? Seonggok-dong 48?

There was a car accident at 17:20?

I'll drop you off, get in.

Hey, get in.

Man, I feel crappy.

I'm sure I'll have kids like that when I make money too,

but if they are rude I'll whip some sense into them.

Money is important too, but your heart has to be straight.

Don't you think so, bud?

Hey, what are you doing?

You're more hurt than I thought.

Are you hurt anywhere else?

Let me see.

Come on, why is a man so shy?

Come over here.

I don't know what idiot hit you,

but he really must be a loser

to hit such a nice person like you.

Come on, let's see.

It looks bad.

Let's go to your room and put a hot pack on it.

Come on, let's go.

I'm fine.

Look!

This all happened because of that Seoul girl, right?

N-no.

Yeah right.

Do you think I'm missing eyes and ears?

What did I tell you?

I told you she would play you.

Don't imitate the fly before you have wings.

Why are you looking at me like that?

It's embarrassing.

You don't have to go to work today?

It's my day off today.

Hey, Deok-bae!

Man, you're good.

How's the view?

It's good.

Boxing.

Funny guy.

They've already broken this.

Okay, so when are you going to buy me dinner?

Whenever you are free, boss. Anytime is good.

I'm so busy I don't even have time to wipe my butt after I poo.

I bet, boss.

Hey!

Don't work Miss Yu so hard, okay?

She doesn't look so good these days.

Are you working her too much?

Oh, boss!

How could we.

I'm sure it's because you don't stop by often enough.

What are you talking about?

Hey prick! Glad I ran into you!

You're going to hell!

Give me back my land!

Let go! Let go!

You're going to hell!

You tricked my innocent son

and stole all my land!

Hey! You robbed me!

You really are totally crazy!

Look here old man!

The only sin I've committed is connecting your son to the person who bought your land.

Give me back my land, jerk! You're a thief!

I can't believe he's still alive.

- Hey, you thief! - Way to ruin my day!

- Give me back my land! - Let's go.

Hey! Jerk! Give me back my land! Give me back my land!

You thief! My land!

Congratulations.

One, two, three.

Congratulations.

Now, I didn't have much time to setup for today, but...

Come on in.

Everyone come in.

All the material costs have gone up..

Go see what it is, hurry!

What the...

- What's wrong? - Let's see.

Someone help me with him.

Oh no...

I can't believe it.

What's the problem?

What? Oh, no...

Oh, it's nothing at all.

Let's all go back in.

After investigating, the police have ruled it a suicide.

My boss, Mr. Kim is going to pay for part of the funeral.

We've hired someone, so leave it up to him.

No.

I'll take him to his final resting spot.

Oh hey!

What are you doing here?

Let's talk.

I'm busy right now. Let's talk later.

Are you on your way to meet Mr. Kim?

Why can't you answer me?

I'm right, right?

Yes.

So what?

Can't I meet him?

Don't hang out with him.

It's for you.

I want to thank you.

What are you to me?

My boyfriend?

My guardian?

Of course, I'm nothing to you.

But, for yourself, stop seeing Mr. Kim.

Something feels wrong and nasty.

What? Are you done?

Then are you doing something good?

Whether it's right or wrong

what's it to you? Mind your own business.

I'm not so stupid that I have to take advice from you!

Got it?

If you understood, go on your way.

Whore!

Stupid bastard!

Is Jin-ok there?

If she's there, may I speak to her?

Why do you need to know who I am? Let me just talk to her real quick.

Then, when is she coming back?

What?

Gone for good?

Hold on. I'm calling from Seomoon Motel, Seomoon Motel.

Yes, it's me.

A note?

God, you scared me!

I'm Gil-nam.

You don't have to tell me, I know.

Here you go, she left this.

It's always the innocent looking ones that stab you in the back.

If you had given me the money I would have paid you interest on it.

Kids these days are bold.

What happened?

You know that girl that worked here?

She ran away with that guy's money.

Really?

She was so well mannered.

Crazy slut.

That was hard earned money.

I'm not angry about that,

it's not about the money.

You guys don't know.

You don't know how I feel.

Fine, she can have the money.

You can always make more.

I can make that money by saying 'Welcome', 'Hello' five hundred times.

What really makes me hurt

is that she betrayed me.

Bitch.

I trusted her with that money. I didn't spend a cent of it!

Hey, let's drink till we die.

I think I saw Mr. Lee setup today. I haven't seen him for a few days,

but I saw him today.

Let's go.

It's been a long time.

Welcome.

Mr. Lee, why are you carrying a kid on your back?

Where is your wife?

Kid? It's my son.

What do you want?

Soju?

Your wife must be very sick.

- Don't talk about her. - Huh?

She's not of this world anymore.

Huh?

Why are you looking at me like that?

If you came here to drink, drink and have a good time!

Are you being serious?

Yeah, I even cremated her a couple of days ago.

I can't believe it!

Why didn't you tell us?

Its okay.

You guys are all busy as well.

But still...

How are you going to raise your son all by yourself?

I pity the one that died.

What problems do the living have?

We have feet and a mouth.

She was such a great lady...

At first, I was thinking of naming it Hotel Jindal Rae,

but then foreigners won't know what it means, right?

They'll ask me what Jindal Rae means, you know?

That's why,

I changed it to something easy to say and remember.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I'm going to call it Hotel Welcome, that's it!

Blacks are welcomed!

Whites are welcomed!

Nakamura is okay, as well!

Mr. Wang can come as well, you know.

To sum it up, no racial discrimination and we don't care about your skin color.

What do you think? Isn't it great?

I'm a smart guy!

I'm a good guy, right?

You just wait. There'll be a day when the world realizes it.

Hey!

We've paid our dues, right?

We'll get our payday.

Yeah.

I'll find you wives.

Don't say anything and let's go to my place.

What are you talking about?

Come on man, you don't know what I'm talking about?

Shall I call Yeong-ja or Soon-ja.

They maybe ugly...

but we'll play

You still don't know?

That takes too much money.

Didn't you lose all your money to Jin-ok?

Did you do something bad, again?

Come on guys...

Did you think that was the only money I had?

I'm so, so very sad. Sad!

I'm so, so very sad.

You've had too much to drink.

I...

I'm going to be leaving you guys...

I've been drafted!

You won't forget about me

just because we aren't from the same town, right?

I'm your friend, right?

We're friends, right?

You're sure of it, right?

We're real friends, right?

To our unchanging friendship. July '80.

Goodness, its such a headache even when the construction is done.

You guys really better make this work.

Yes, sir.

You guys always just say 'yes.'

Okay, I'm off.

Go in.

Goodbye.

Why? Is something wrong?

Huh?

Who is that?

Who are you?

You're one of the guys from the barbershop, no?

Why are you here, kid?

Oh look at this.

Hey!

What are you going to do?

What are you going to do?

Watch it, kid.

Huh?

Hey! Watch it kid, kid!

Hey, kid, what are you going to do?

Hey, kid!

Idiot.

Idiot.

What is my dad going to do now?

He's dying and I've never even had the chance to take him to the hospital.

Looks like you will have to work on Welcome Hotel after you get out of the service.

Yeah, I'm really going to work on it seriously then.

Later when you become a hotel owner,

are you going to say, 'who are you guys'

and look down on us?

Hey, man. At Hotel Welcome everyone is welcomed.

Blacks are welcomed!

Whites are welcomed!

Yeah! Nakamura is okay, as well!

Mr. Wang can come as well.

By the time I'm done with my military service

you better be the champion.

You can do it, right?

Yeah, I'm going to give it a go.

Good.

I hope by then our barbershop friend will be out of jail

and we can talk about the old days.

How long has it been since you've been back home?

I bet your mom's going to be really happy.

I have to say bye as soon as I see her.

I'm just unnecessarily upsetting my widowed mom.

Hurry up and get on before the train leaves.

I've become rich since coming to Seoul.

I now have a bag.

An-and you have something else,

you have Chun-sik and me, now.

Yeah, that's right.

Deok-bae!

This is your lunch.

Eat it on the train.

I'm sorry it's nothing grand.

If Chun-sik was here

I'm sure he would have done more.

It's fine. Thank you.

Thanks for the lunch.

Deok-bae!

I have one last thing to ask you two.

Hold hands till I can't see you two anymore.

And visit Chun-sik often, Deok-bae.

And make sure you find Jin-ok!

Hold on!

Even plain people like us can't end on a farewell shot like this, can we now?

We have something extra so

sit tight and watch it, please.

Deok-bae!

Good luck Sang-kyu!

Look at him!

Closer, closer!

Look at him! That's right!

Left, left.

Go Deok-bae!

Left hook! Left hook! That's right!

A big punch.

Let's go Jajangmyeon! Let's go Jajangmyeon!

Left... look at him!

Use your hands!

Jajangmyeon! Use your hands!

Good job Jajangmyeon! Jajangmyeon...

Big punch now, hold it.

That's right.

Good job, Jajangmyeon.

Get up, get up.

That's it, that's it.

Left hand. Hand! Punch! Punch!

Get out! Get out!

Jajangmyeon!

One two!

Good job! Get up Jajangmyeon!

One two punch, till the end!

It's been two years since I moved to Seoul.

And in one word, it's a not bad city.

I keep getting hit like this and sometimes I think I have it figured out.

If feels like I've been getting hit for the past two years

by someone I can't see.

Who is it, you ask?

I'm not sure.

But, I'm confident that I can win.
