BOYHOOD

YEAR 1989 ONYANG, SOUTH CHUNGCHEONG PROVINCE

Pierce!

Pierce!

Pierce!

About face!

Block, kick, and hit!

- Block, kick, and hit! - Block, kick, and hit!

- "John got a job as a journalist." - "John got a job as a journalist."

Next up is "ch."

I warned y'all this one's a head-scratcher.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

- "Chicken." - "Chicken."

"Cheap, bench, March."

"Chicken."

- "Cheap, bench, March." - "Cheap, bench, March."

Now, the "k" sound.

"Chameleon, school, Christmas."

- "Chameleon, school, Christmas." - "Chameleon, school, Christmas."

The three of y’all who aren’t paying attention come out to the front.

No one?

All right.

Is this how it's gon' be?

Jung Yong-gi, Lee Seong-jin and Hyeon Gwang-seo.

Yeah, you three.

Come out to the front.

Read it.

Mak?

Read this.

Chamiliyoo?

- Get up. - Hang on, sir.

We don't got all day!

Your turn.

Just hit me, sir.

You're a real man, aren't ya?

Hey, get up.

- We don't got all day! - Yes, sir.

Hey!

Get up.

You want more?

You'll snap my legs, sir.

We don't got all day. Get up!

I'm sorry.

Attention. Bow.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

You bastards who laughed at us earlier, follow me outside.

I saw y'all.

If you don't,

you're dead meat.

You sons of bitches.

What was so funny?

Was it me getting whooped? Or was it my pronunciation?

Spit it out.

You've got it wrong.

We didn't mean--

- I only laughed because he did. - What?

I laugh at anything, ya know?

You fuckers.

- I'm sorry! - I'm sorry!

Hey, Bum-tae.

Get over here.

I didn't laugh.

Chamiliyoo?

That ain't even a word! Get up.

Hey!

He was trying like hell not to laugh out loud.

Laughing's a problem.

But what's worse

is thinking it was funny at all.

Violence ain't right!

What a load of bull.

It's not our fault you can't pronounce the words.

- What's wrong with you? - You crazy?

A boy's gotta have a dream.

My dream ain't that big.

It's to not get beat up every day.

I just wanna live a normal life like everybody else.

Get up.

I said, get up.

Get up.

Get up!

We're in trouble.

Why are y'all sleeping like you're dead?

I almost held a funeral in here.

Where'd you get your ass kicked again?

Pack your stuff.

We don't got time.

Just take whatever you can't live without.

Damn your dance videotapes.

Hurry up and pack if you wanna live!

My boy, we gotta run away.

Why do we gotta run away again?

Come on, let's go.

We gotta go.

TAXI

Hell, that was close.

There isn't enough room.

So long, suckers!

I'm getting the hell out of here!

If you think about it, this could be for the better.

Let's go to Buyeo

and start ourselves a whole new life.

Are you gon' get us on the lam again because of your dancing?

How many times do I gotta tell you, you darn woman?

It's called performance art.

Performance art, my ass.

What kind of art got you with your hands on some woman's hips?

It's crap, not art.

"Crap"?

What's wrong?

I've been whooped

so many times here in Onyang

that I know how each of them picks fights,

and I finally figured out their movement patterns.

But if we move,

I'm gon' have to figure it out all over again.

Goodness, my poor boy.

This absolute bum.

This can't be real.

Goodness.

BUYEO, SOUTH CHUNGCHEONG PROVINCE

They're here.

Come this way.

Stop!

Hey, Hak-su.

Welcome.

- Goodness. - Y'all came a long way.

You didn't have to all come out to greet us.

- How much is it? - Just give me what you got.

- Put it here. - Okay.

All right.

- Goodness. - That looks good.

Eat up.

Byeong-tae, eat up.

Go on.

Your daughter here used to be a headstrong little thing.

Now she's all grown up into a lady.

A lady?

You don't remember?

They were our neighbors back at Onyang.

I remember she used to beat up our Byeong-tae every day

from the crack of dawn.

I didn't need an alarm with all your hollerin'.

You can't imagine how awful we felt about our boy.

My heart's a mess because of it.

Open me up and take a look.

Here.

If y'all are gonna drink more,

I'm going to bed.

- Good night. - Okay.

Byeong-tae.

I'm glad you're here.

Y'all came a long way.

Make yourselves at home.

I'm gonna do just that.

I mean I took all the blame for you

when you messed around with Sun-deok's mom.

Come on now. Watch what you say in front of your wife.

She knows already.

You just had to blabber about it, didn't you?

- You were wrong, Sang-gyo. - What?

You got a nice wife and daughter.

Why did you...

cheat and run away?

Oh come on, don't take it too seriously.

But I almost split up with Hak-su.

We almost did.

I promise I won't tell another soul.

You don't have to worry about it.

I don't need nothing in exchange.

It's just that there's rent we gotta pay every month.

Aside from that, I got nothing to worry about.

Just pay me when you can.

That's nothing for you to worry about.

Holy hell.

Are they for me?

No, they're not.

Jeez, that startled me.

You off-duty now, Officer Kim?

You hungry?

I'm all right.

I have to change and head out.

I see.

- Enjoy. - Okay.

What's a cop doing living around here?

He's just a beat cop. You don't have to worry.

EPISODE 1. CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON THE LEGEND BEGINS

It's hot as hell.

Dad, breakfast is ready.

Jeez.

Hey!

Mom.

Do I...

have to go to school?

It's not like I'm smart or anything.

All I do at school is get whooped,

so I don't see the point.

Never mind.

You know,

my only goal in life is to raise you good.
