Happiness

You changed the combination?

You're a bitch.

I'm going abroad.

For a year or two. I'll call you when I get back.

Don't bother.

You can date. I know you hate being alone.

Look who's talking.

But don't get married. It'll complicate things.

Look.

We're through

I gotta go to work.

Sweetie! Where are you going?

Remember me?

Dance with us.

Come on.

Sweetie...

Come on.

It's a lot this time.

Going somewhere?

Abroad.

So, when are you giving me your number?

Your number?

Including the medicine, it's $298.

How about an e-mail then?

$298, please.

- How much? - $298.

How are you, boss?

I'm not your boss anymore.

Give me a smoke.

I'll pay you what I owe. Don't worry.

I said I'd pay you.

Thanks for taking it over.

Money ruins friendship. This is it, okay?

What's this?

For you.

Thanks.

Wire the rest into my account.

Can you make it there?

I don't know.

I have no other places to go.

And I can't quit drinking.

It's worse than I thought.

Don't tell Su-yeon I'm going to the sanatorium.

It's embarrassing.

Dong-jun?

Am I bankrupt?

Totally!

Pump it up until you feel the pressure.

- You like it? - Yes.

It's boiling.

Staying for the night?

No way.

Be careful, it's hot.

Mom...

I'm going abroad.

For a few years.

You hadn't come to see me for a year and half.

You can't fool me.

Just come by now and then.

That's all I want.

How much do I owe you?

I'm not the owner.

Grandma.

- Have You been waiting long? - No.

Two light bulbs, soap... Here's $5.70.

It's right.

- Thanks. - Bye.

Grandma?

- Yes? _ - Call me a cab, wlll you?

Many people come here dying and leave all cured.

Work out in the morning and take care of vegetables

And watch what you eat.

No smoking, drinking, and instant food.

Smile for me.

It's the greatest medicine.

You don't smile much, do you?

Give me five, will you?

Put your hands up.

Put them up.

Let's go!

You're not smiling.

Eun-hee, come in.

He's new.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask her.

Put it down here and give him a high-five.

Put it down.

Put your hands up.

Both hands.

Trying hard is important.

But what's more important is enjoying what you do.

What's my point? Enjoy every minute of your life!

Ohne Sorgen, Polka Schnell by J. Strauss.

I smell cigarettes.

Give me one.

- Huh? - a cigarette.

I have lung cancer.

Cirrhosis here.

Quit smoking, okay? It'll kill you.

Go eat if you haven't eaten.

Skipping meals isn't good.

Wait.

Have a seat.

Excuse me'?

He hasn't eaten yet. Make it salt-free.

Sorry about earlier.

You should quit drinking and smoking.

Damn!

What the...

- It's done? - It's done.

Come on, it's okay.

- How are you? - Hi.

Sit here.

Life is tough.

But the air is good out here.

Didn't I tell you to make it mild?

It's too salty.

Whatever you enjoy eating, it's good for you.

That's bullshit.

Here You go.

Screw it. I'll eat this and die.

Too much isn't good for you.

- Drink some. - You don't drink?

Anything not salty is okay.

It's okay.

Go ahead.

- Good night, guys. - Leaving already?

He sure can drink. _ No wonder he has cirrhosis.

Everybody is looking good this morning.

Say hello to one another.

- I love you. - I love you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Be determined. - Be determined.

- I'm healthy. - I'm healthy.

Breathe in.

Out.

Breathe in.

Out.

Breathe in.

Out.

One.

Two.

One, two...

Faster.

Stomp your feet faster. And put your chest out.

Like this.

Try it.

Move your feet faster.

You need help?

It's okay.

Give it here.

This isn't heavy.

How long have you been here?

Take a guess.

8 years.

Since primary school?

I'm older than I look.

Don't treat me like a child.

Why do you eat with one of your knees bent?

Because it hurts.

- Your knee? - No.

My lungs.

It's about 40% functional, which isn't too bad.

But if I run, I might drop dead.

Me too.

If I drink...

Good.

Mouth open wide.

Laugh your lungs out.

Disease will leave you.

Heart disease, leave me!

Irritable colon syndrome, go away!

Renal failure, leave!

Cirrhosis, leave him!

_ poudefl _ Cirrhosis, leave hum!

Lung cancer, leave me!

Let's welcpme our new friend with a song.

Pair up, please.

Okay.

One, two, three, four.

B It's so nice to meet you. It's so nice to meet you.

Fi Let's meet again.

B It's so nice to meet you. It's so nice to meet you.

Fi Let's meet again.

B It's so nice to meet you. It's so nice to meet you.

Fi Let's meet again.

Thanks, Eun-hee.

Here you go.

Thanks.

What's your blood type?

O positive.

I was O positive, too.

What are you talking about?

I thought it was O.

After I got sick, I learned that it's A positive.

I was very cheerful

But I've gotten timid since I found out.

Well...see you.

Mr. Kim?

You don't know what you're talking about!

You're a quack, aren 't you'?

No wonder! A quack at a shitty hospital!

I did what I was told to and took all the medicine.

He doesn't know anything!

He tells me...

Wait.

I did everything!

Wait.

Why didn't you eat?

You smoked, didn't you'? Where are they?

-I didn't. - Don't lie. I can smell it.

I smoke for 45 years.

Get out of here.

I can't share a room with you. Get out!

Out! Get the hell out!

What's wrong with you'?!

Damn it!

Why did I ever smoke?

What are you doing?

You've had no visitors.

I know.

I'm an orphan.

I'm sorry.

My parents died when I was little, too.

We're in the same boat.

Eun-hee, I was just joking.

Eun-hee?

I'm sorry.

Don't joke about things like that.

Apologize to me.

Okay, I apologize.

Wanna give me a piggyback?

What?

No, forget it.

I'll piggyback you.

I mean it.

It's okay.

Take my word for it.

No way.

This is plantain, right? Good for your liver.

No, it's just weed. Plantain has bigger leaves.

See? What'd I say'?

It's snack time!

Thanks.

Give me a cigarette.

Come on.

I mean it.

I'll trade you with my radio.

This is nice.

You shouldn't smoke.

What about you?

I'd smoked for over 4O years.

And I regretted it so much.

Now I'm smoking not to regret.

You know what I mean?

I'm not sure.

I'm dying. I hope you make it. PS. The radio is for you.

Help! Help!

- What is it'? - He killed himself.

Hurry! Quick!

Go inside now.

Go inside. Aren't you cold?

I'm hungry.

When are we eating?

Are you up?

May I?

I used to drink a lot.

It tastes the same.

You know what?

You look perfectly normal.

You don't look scared.

Not hurt.

And not sick.

Cause nobody cares, I guess.

I get really scared even when I catch a cold.

I'll show it from now on.

And I expect you to care.

Plantain.

Thistle... So hard to remember.

- And? - Dandelion, wild parsley, sedum.

These herbs are good for you.

Try to memorize them.

Plantain...

Check this out.

What's that?

_ [VluQVVQr-[Q _ .

- Peel everything? - Yes.

This part, too.

There won't be much left to eat.

Why are you doing that? It's disgusting.

I washed my hands.

It will taste better if Eun-hee peels them.

My disease isn't contagious.

No, it's not.

How do you know? Have you touched him?

- What? - Cut it out.

Oh, I forgot. I have to go to the bank.

Finish this for me, will you?

Okay.

Why are you leaving?

You don't know?

Cause I'm disgusting!

Cirrhosis...what a lady's man!

It's good.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Eun-hee...

Yeah?

Why didn't you eat earlier?

Tell me.

Come on.

There was a roach in it.

Why didn't you tell me?

You looked so happy eating it.

When a couple watches a movie at a dark theater...

They hold hands, right?

I guess that's only in movies?

Are you asking me to hold your hand?

At a deserted place like this...

...a couple usually kisses.

Hold on.

Young-su, what I have isn't contagious.

Oh God!

Damn.

You scared me.

Here.

Thanks.

You get scared easily.

I've seen a ghost in this room.

I have a knack for this kinda thing.

Good night.

Eun-hee?

I'm scared.

Eun-hee?

Are you gone?

Eun-hee?

Still scared?

Should I make you not?

How?

Wow, it's working.

It tickles.

Young-su?

I'm out of breath.

I might die.

Young-su?

Someone's here.

What are we gonna do?

Hide behind me.

Okay.

Hey, Cirrhosis. Did you see Eun-hee?

Yeah, last night.

She's here, isn't she?

Eun-hee?

Fi My heart is pounding, and I don't know why.

Fi Maybe I'm in love.

Aren't you hungry?

You bet.

Young-su...

I used to date this guy.

You're my first girl.

Eun-hee?

I told you not to get involved with anybody here.

You have neither parents nor siblings.

You're a patient.

Another patient can't give you help that you need.

You like him that much'?

Yes.

Did you cross the line?

What will you do?

Leave it to me.

Fi My heart is pounding, and I don't know why.

Fi Whenever I see her.

Fi Whenever I see her.

Fi My heart is so full of hope.

Fi It might explode.

Fi Maybe...

fi Maybe I'm in love.

Fi My heart is pounding, and I don't know why.

- Fi Whenever I see her... - Young-su?

Let's move in together.

Do you want to'?

We don't have to get married.

I'm sick and might die soon.

But I'll help you get better.

If it doesn't work out...

We'll break up then.

Eun-hee?

Look here and smile.

One, two, three.

Be happy, Eun-hee.

Be well.

Good luck, Eun-hee.

Cirrhosis, be good to her.

I Will.

You should cut down on noodles.

Raise some leek. That's good for you.

Bye, Eun-hee.

- Take care! - Bye.

B ...lost in deep thought.

Fi Through the window flows in

B the sound of children playing.

Fi Only if the sun continues to shine,

fi I'll live under the sky and wind.

Fi Through the sound of rain and thunder,

- fi I'll dance and live freely. - Hurry!

Why do I wanna kiss you when I'm kissing you'?

Eun-hee...

You like me that much?

Yes. What about you?

I guess so-called eternal love does exist.

It does, Young-su.

Daily Plans

Young-su?

Wake up.

Come on.

Drink this.

Thanks.

Come here. Lie down with me.

- What are You doing? - Come on.

- Get up now. - Come here. Come on.

Put your chest out.

Why can't you do it right?

For the groceries and bus.

Use this bag this time. Don't buy a plastic bag

It's not expensive.

It still adds up.

If we save up for a year, it'll amount to 5 dollars.

Eun-hee?

I'd spend 2 grand a night for drinking.

All right.

Just get what's on the list.

Give me 1O more.

No way. Go.

I'm fine.

Good.

Dong-jun... You're late this month.

You know what. Money.

Yeah?

Sure, I can wait.

Okay, thanks.

How embarrassing.

Please sample our new product. It's only for a limited time.

It's liquor made from west coast medicinal herbs.

This cleanses your system.

Thank you, welcome! Would you like to try it out?

Welcome.

Eun-hee?

Oh, you're home.

Good thing you didn't get wet.

You dug up herbs in the rain?

Who told you to?

For whom? For me'?

Are you nuts?

You know what happens if you catch a cold!

What's wrong with you?

We can buy them.

Are you stupid or just too frugal?

Young-su, watch your language.

Young-su...

What?

Young-su...

Eun-hee? What's wrong?

I think I'm dying. Help me.

Eun-hee, wake up.

Eun-hee, wake up. Eun-hee?

Oh God...

Hang in there. Stay with me.

Young-su?

Eun-hee...

They say you're fine.

I'm happy with you by my side.

Were you worried?

About me dying?

No, about ME dying.

Seeing you in pain almost killed me.

I used to get scared of dying when I got sick.

Now that I have you...

I'm not scared anymore.

Be by my side when I die.

Don't say such a thing.

Promise me.

Fine, you be by my side when I die, too.

- Okay. - Promise me.

It's official.

- Eun-hee... - Yeah?

I don't think I can make it without you.

Eun-hee, are you done'?

Let's head back.

Young-su, you got a lot better.

You've taken good care of yourself.

The level of albumin is almost normal.

Stay on the medication and do not drink.

Eun-hee, the CT scan shows you didn't get worse.

Don't skip the medicine.

Okay.

Thank you.

- Mr. Kim Young-chul. - Yes.

Come in.

- Eun-hee! - Hi!

- God, it's been a while. - How are you?

Cirrhosis, you look good. She must treat you well.

So happy to see you.

No baby yet'?

What's up, guys?

I came back after the winter.

- God... - I'm all better now.

Really? That's great.

She's new with us.

They're the couple that I told you about.

- Hi. - How are you?

I'm so happy for you.

Better yet, we're gonna leave together.

Young-su?

Give me a piggyback.

Please.

Sure.

Come on.

I'm happy for you.

Hey there!

Looking good, man.

HAN Young-su!

You finally grew up.

What's this?

Come here, Su-yeon.

I can't believe this.

The air's really good.

Is land expensive out here'?

This would be a great place to retire.

You need help?

It's okay.

Have a seat.

You're quite pretty.

He likes only pretty girls.

You're pretty, too.

You're one lucky man.

Married?

Not yet.

Happy?

Yes.

About what?

About everything.

That's crap.

It feels weird to see you with another woman.

You don't belong here.

Visit us in Seoul.

Life is no fun without you.

I chipped in some.

Thanks.

Bye.

It's your old cell phone.

I feel better if you have it.

Should I stay for the night?

Bye.

Take care.

Good job today.

Thanks.

Go ahead.

I had a hard time quitting drinking and smoking.

Good for your health, but no fun.

- Warm? - Yes.

I'm thinking about taking a trip to Seoul.

Wanna come with me'?

Can I?

No, I'm okay.

Young-su, this is for your mother.

Thanks.

- I'll Call you. - Okay.

Have fun.

Don't skip your meds.

See you later.

- Did You check the stock? - I sure did.

Can I help you?

- Here to see Dong-jun. - In there.

Thanks.

Settle their accounts by this week.

Hey!

- When'd You get here? - Just now.

- Wgelcome. - HI, boss.

Not your boss anymore.

- How are you? - Good.

And make sure to clear their checks.

And last night...

$170 K is too much for a premium.

See if you can bring that down to 100 K.

Okay.

When are you moving back to Seoul?

I'm opening a new bar. Why don't you run it?

- Me? - Yes.

Listen.

I read in the paper that...

...we need $ 470 K to survive after retirement.

Prepare for the future.

You can't hide out forever.

Good night.

See you tomorrow.

How are you'?

Hungry? Let's go eat.

What the hell is that?

I moved._ I'll cook you dinner.

Let's drink this.

Be careful. Give it here.

- Why? - Come on, you're drunk.

Pflleave.

Stay over, will you?

You've changed.

Look who's talking.

What'd you go down there for?

You're all better now. Why are you still there?

You're unbelievable.

She likes me a lot.

I like you, too.

She's not like you.

I missed you.

Didn't you miss me'?

_ Answer me. Didn't you mlss me'?

You told me to wait.

Listen to me.

Mom, mushrooms are good for diabetes.

How do I know? I'm studying that subject!

Yes.

All right. Take care of yourself.

I'll call you when I go back to Korea.

Okay.

You're running up the bill.

Okay.

Young-su...

I'm scared.

I miss you so much.

And I'm so upset.

So answer the phone, please.

To send a message...

Won't you answer it?

Do me a favor.

Answer my phone and tell her I'm dead.

What's so funny?

You are.

What will you do?

Get ready for work. You're gonna be late.

You lost track of days? It's Sunday.

Just get drunk and tell her. You're used to that.

Young-su...

How are you'?

What?

You're ugly now.

Sure, I'll think about it.

Okay, bye.

- Who was it? - Nobody.

You knovy how much you need to survive after retirement?

They say it's $470 K.

Why need that much?

Life that we lead doesn't cost much.

Think about it.

What about the future?

You gotta prepare for it.

Why worry about the future?

Live well for today.

And for tomorrow.

That's all that counts.

What does?

Life isn't as simple as you think.

Things might change later for the worse.

There's no LATER for me.

You shouldn't say that.

Eun-hee.

Aren't you sick of eating slowly?

I am sick of it.

Let's go out and have fun.

Why suddenly?

No reason.

It's time to get rid of stress. Here we go.

Lose yourselves to the rhythm.

All right. Let me shake him off the seat.

Check him out. He's almost dancing now.

What's he doing? He's out of himself.

Can you believe that? How can a person be like that?

- Now, ten times! - God, it's killing me!

All right, a bit faster now.

The wheel is going crazy, and he is too!

One more time!

We 're gonna make your asses burn!

You know...

...I can't dump you.

Tell me that you wanna break up.

I can't.

Why can't you?

Why are you doing this?

There's someone else.

When I was in Seoul...

I was with her.

You know what?

Being with her...

I was a lot happier than with you.

Bastard...

You call yourself human?

Do you?

How could you say that?

After all that I've done for you?

How could you?!

Asshole!

I'm sorry.

Eun-hee... I'm so sorry.

Eun-hee...

Please...

Just stay here with me as you have.

No, I can't.

I'll make you happier than she ever can.

Don't do this. Please...

Don't do this. Stop it. Please...

Stop it.

Get out of here.
