Hey, you! Aren't you Yong-ho?

It's really been a long time.

- Pleased to meet you, Yong-ho. - Me, too

- What have you been doing? - It's really him!

- Welcome to hometown. - You still remember me.

- Of course we remember you. - It's really been a long time.

You remember this girl? Chong Oksun, who always fell asleep during class.

-How are you doing? -This is Kim Mihwa with the frog lips.

- It's Lee Mihwa. - Lee Mihwa. Dr.Pimple, Shin Jongja.

-Now, the wife of the chief of a bus company. -Hi!

Nice to meet you again. Let's have a seat and drink.

- Hey. - Sit down. Have a drink.

We really wanted to contact you, but we couldn't.

-It's all right. - I'm the one who should be sorry for not calling you.

This guy's the head of our friendship association now.

- Bong-woo club. - Right, Bong-woo club.

I am really sorry for not contacting you.

I said I am all right.

I've really tried to reach you, you've been always on my mind.

But no one knows your whereabouts. I'm sorry.

It's more difficult than I thought

to gather friends after 20 years past.

- Just if I knew where you... - I said I am OK, I mean it.

Don't worry about me, any more.

We need to break the ice, here.

May I sing a song?

Of course, you can. Go ahead.

Na na na na Na na na Na na na na

Na na na na Na na na Na na na na

What should I do, you left so suddenly,

What should I do, I can't live without you.

What should I do, you left me behind,

That won't do, really. Please don't go.

Did you have a secret that no one knew?

- You were the one so tender, - How could you do that to me...

- Now we bring the next singer here. - Mrs. Jung, Madam! Madam! Please!

Nil li li ya Nil li li Nil li li Mambo

Nil li li ya Nil li li Nil li li Mambo

My beautiful lover never comes,

without a gale and I hate that.

I wish I knew where my lover is,

to send him an umbrella.

Nil li li ya Nil li li Nil li li Mambo

Do you remember where that guy used to work?

He'd worked for Tae-hwa Elec., before joining the army.

It's passed 20 years since then.

Oh, my face turns red badly!

You've got autumn leaves in this spring day.

Looks wonderful.

Look at that! Shouldn't we try to get him down?

Leave him alone. He should stop in time.

- You're right. - It's dangerous. Let him down.

- Come down! - Come down, have a drink!

Come down, I say!

- Do something! - A train's coming! Hurry down!

- Hey! Hurry down! Danger! - Don't care about him any more.

It's a train! Hurry down,

- Kim young-ho! - He won't hear us.

- Come down, you bastard! - Hurry down, please.

Don't worry. Ten to one who went to Han river with suicidal intent didn't die.

Kim young-ho!

Kim young-ho, come down!

That man is too much!

- Hey! Hurry down, you bastard! - I gave up.

- You win. Do as you like, you crazy fool! - Let's dance.

Let's liven up!

Hey! Come down!

What is the matter? Come down and have a talk.

Kim young-ho.

Kim young-ho!

I am going back!

The Camera Three Days Ago, Spring 1999

It's a group formed when we worked in factory.

Aha, that's the association named Bong-woo club, Right?

Right, so we decide to reunite for the first time in about 20 years

- to go on a picnic. - Did you say a picnic?

Yes. That's why I am calling to you, to announce this event.

Then, you chose the right place to give notice to your members.

Thank you.

I hope all of your members listen to this program and join the picnic.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

OK. Start.

The members of Bong-woo club who lived in Garibongdong 20 years ago,

are to meet together this time,

to go on a picnic to the place Where we first had an excursion.

So, Bong-woo club members listening to this program, please ...

- Are you from Seoul? - Yes.

I'm here to sell you the goods.

- Money first please. - Let me see the goods first.

- Here it is. Money first. - Give it to me, you bastard!

Not expensive for a thousand won. It costs a fifteen hundred

at that rest area down below, but the scenery's better here.

You're right. The scenery is to die for, and this coffee is really delicious.

Oh no, something's wrong!

-What? I forgot to bring money with me except credit cards.

- What should I do? - Look again, carefully.

I forgot to draw some money from the bank. I am so sorry.

You won't believe me to pay back next time, will you?

Here, let me return this to you.

It's already become useless. Go ahead, have the rest.

Thank you. I promise you to pay for it next time.

Look and smile. Say Kim-chi.

- Excuse me. - One, two, three!

- Good afternoon, sir. - Hi.

Uh... Kim, What are you doing?

- Are you the owner of this car? - Yes.

You're not allowed to park here. Your driver's license, please.

- Show me your driver's license. - This isn't my car.

You said it was your car. This isn't a stolen car, is it?

- Take out your identification card! - What for?

Your identification card, right this moment!

Stop! Stop there!

- Who is it? - It's me.

Why are you here?

- Saemin? - He's asleep.

I asked why you came without any reason.

Poppy. I wanted to see Poppy.

Poppy...

That's enough, now. Poppy ! Go! Get back in!

Why? Why?

Kim Yong-ho. You're Kim Yong-ho, right?

Move there. I'll try it.

Why are you carrying so many keys like these?

Now, you can get in.

Come on in!

Have a seat. Apologies for such shabby hospitality.

It was a difficultjob tracking you down.

It's leaking in a new place. Last night, the rain fell on

my forehead, as I lay in bed.

You, sit down! Fucker! This isn't a game, sit!

Isn't the way I live pathetic? Wonder why I live this way?

Although I don't know who sent you,

I want to talk with you. It's a good mood, isn't it?

Want a drink? But there's no booze here.

With the last bit of my money, I bought this.

To kill just one guy with.

I don't want to die alone.

Just one bastard among all that ruined my life.

But who should I kill?

It's hard to pick just one.

The fucking stock broker who made me go clean broke?

The vampire like loan shark that charged the ridiculous interest?

How about the business partner who run away with my money?

Or should I take my ex-wife

and my kid to die with me?

There're so many fuckers

in my life that it's hard to pick just one.

You!

I don't know why you're here.

This isn't just your day.

Choose! Want to watch? Or leave now?

You know Yun Sunnim, don't you?

Who?

Yun-Sun-Nim. I was sent by her.

Who is Yun Sunnim?

Don't you remember?

You two...

liked each other before.

Oh! Yun Sunnim.

But why is she looking for me?

Who are you?

I'm her husband. She wants to...

see you.

You're joking, right? Why does she want to see me?

- Will you do me a favour? - What is it?

I bought some clothes this morning. I hope they fit you well, Mr. Kim.

You're saying I should wear this?

What's that?

Can't be going to see someone in the hospital empty handed.

Want one? It's a peppermint candy. Really delicious.

What's wrong?

I was told that she lost her conscious this morning.

She could even talk to me last night. Too late.

I want to see her face, though.

Honey, Yong-ho has come.

Sunim ... It's been a long time.

Do you remember this? Peppermint candy. When I was in the army,

You sent these to me. You put a candy in every letters.

I've saved them.

In fact...

I got in trouble owing to them.

As you sent back then...

Look!

They're still in the same shape.

I'm sorry, Sunnim.

Kim Yong-ho!

I forgot to give something to you.

She wanted me to give you this. She said it's not hers, but yours.

She also said she was just keeping it for you.

It's so old. Nobody uses a 20years old camera.

Think who wants to use a manual camera these days?

- How much can you give me? - I will pay for 30,000 won.

- How can you fix just 30,000 won? - You'd better look for another shop.

- How about 50,000 won? - 40,000 won. It's the maximum.

Okay, then.

Hey, Mr.!

Film in the camera. Take it back!

Miss Lee? You came early.

No phone calls yet?

Who?

and so...

Why do they want to be paid before giving us the goods?

If he calls, refuse it. No. I'd better take care of it. What?

Why are you saying like that? What? I can't talk to you that way?

My business dull nowadays. It makes me crazy. Let's have a drink.

I have to buy... No way, I should be the one to buy you drinks...

If you insist that way, then I won't see you.

She said she's going to get a driving lesson. I don't know where.

Make sure she doesn't notice you, When you're following her. Call me.

- Hey! Give me a cup of coffee. - Yes, sir.

Kim, what's making you feel good? Have they gone up again?

Tire has gone up by 300 won.

300won's not a small amount at all. You're making money at stocks

as well as at your business.

- You left me so cruelly... - Hey!

- Yes, sir? - Who do you think, I am?

You are the president.

Right. I'm the owner. Then, why did you brought coffee without a saucer?

Yes, I ate something.

This tastes pretty good.

Confession Spring 1987

Why are you looking at my eating?

Do you know how long it's been since you last eat at home?

Last night I dreamed a strange dream where you're missing there.

I woke up calling you because I can't find you to find my face wet with tears.

Don't do that, I say.

I think I'd better go to the hospital.

Some days left but I feel little strange.

I'll call you later. Please say something!

- Don't call! - Don't call!
