We Are All Trying Here (모두가 자신의 무가치함과 싸우고 있다)

WE ARE ALL TRYING HERE

Why did you want to make a film about the weather?

I don't know.

I have a feeling,

but I can't explain it.

I like that phrase.

"I can't explain it."

You're the first person I've met who said they like the phrase,

"I can't explain it."

For over-explainers who have to put everything into words,

hearing that something can't be explained is probably scary.

But I find myself

waking up when I hear someone admit

they can't explain something.

"Of course, you can't explain it."

"How do you translate abstract thoughts into concrete words?"

So that's what it was.

The gap between abstract thoughts

and concrete words.

Those two

will never meet, even if they circle the Earth 20 times.

Even so,

may I try to explain

why I wanted to make a movie about the weather?

I find myself wanting to explain it to someone

who knows the limits of language.

Okay.

It's just

a feeling.

When I watch snow falling heavily

or anything similar…

I feel myself

thinning out.

You see,

I'm the kind of person who's entirely absorbed in myself.

I want to cover the whole world with me.

I want everyone to know my story.

So I keep talking

and talking.

Then when it snows

or when rain comes down in sheets,

I thin out.

But it's not a bad thing.

A part of me wants to cover the whole world with me,

and a part of me wants to thin out.

I think both exist in me.

Inside me,

there's Yeong-sil, who wants to live an easygoing life,

and there's Byeon Eun-a, who wants to swing blades of revenge.

Is it like that?

That's right.

"Thinning out."

I like that phrase.

Has your nosebleed

thinned out?

It disappeared a while ago.

How's the weather today?

Does it make you thin out?

I'm thinning out severely.

The traffic is terrible,

so I'm completely stuck.

I'm getting a call.

I should answer it.

Right, I'll hang up now.

Be careful driving in the snow.

I will.

H-H-H-Hello?

This is 911.

- H-H-How far along a-a-are you? - We're on our way.

There was an accident on the way, so we're taking a detour.

You're okay, right?

I-I-I-I'm… I'm really cold right now.

- Can I turn on the engine? - No, sir.

Starting the car could cause a fire.

- Curl up as tight as you can. - Okay.

Please hang in there. We'll be there soon.

Look, I…

I'm not…

Making these noises on purpose.

My whole body is shaking on its own.

How are my knees dancing like this?

Are you sure…

I can't turn on the engine?

Okay, please hurry.

Hello?

Is anyone out there?

BY MA JAE-YEONG, YEONG-SIL

MA JAE-YEONG

I-I-I-I can't…

Take a call right now.

L-L-L-Let's talk later.

Damn it.

I added Byeon Eun-a's pseudonym in the screenplay,

so don't go around talking about it, and keep your mouth shut.

I'm warning you.

If you go around running your mouth, I won't just stand by.

This little punk…

- Yes? - I know, you bastard!

It's Yeong-sil!

You rude bastard!

What? "Keep your mouth shut"?

Why do I have to keep my mouth shut?

How am I supposed to do that?

Hey!

I've never kept my mouth shut in my life!

What? What did you say?

I'm not following.

"I'm so sorry!"

"Please forgive me for being a coward and only listing her pseudonym!"

You bastard!

That's what you should've said, asshole!

Why should I speak respectfully to you?

Think about how you treated me.

Do you know how much crap I took from you?

I'm thankful for one thing, though.

My blood boils whenever I think of you.

It made me think, "Damn it, I have to succeed

so I can crush those worthless scumbags and pathetic nobodies

and shut them up for good."

So I clenched my teeth and fought my way to the top.

The thing is,

I know what kind of person you are.

You want others to fail like you,

so the second someone starts rising,

you rip into them and drag them down.

But guess what?

Your words can't drag me down.

But you can go ahead and try.

Or how about this?

Don't hold back and just come up here.

I'll treat you with respect when you do, okay?

You don't even have the balls to make it up here.

I'm going to make it up there, you bastard!

Just wait, you son of a bitch!

Just you wait!

Sir!

Are you okay?

Kim, grab the gear!

EMERGENCY SERVICES

I'm hot.

Sir, please lie down.

Just lie down.

But I'm really hot.

- Hey, take his temperature. - I'm hot.

- Yes, sir. - I'm hot.

I almost died today.

It snowed like crazy in Yangpyeong,

and the car started skidding.

Holy shit.

It kept skidding in slow motion.

Who knew slow motion was so scary?

I was fighting for my life, upside down in a -20 ° snowfield,

when that asshole Ma Jae-yeong pissed me off.

I was determined to make it out alive.

Everyone's asleep.

Let's talk tomorrow.

Go ahead and sleep. You can read this in the morning.

I have to finish what I was saying.

I imagined an insanely hot summer day.

I was super focused.

I'm not lying when I say that it made me sweat.

I was sweating at -20°.

I couldn't believe it actually worked.

People can do things when they're pushed to the limit.

But you know what's even crazier?

I must've imagined too hard because I'm still sweating.

I can't shut off this heat inside me.

Hey, Dong-man!

Hwang Dong-man!

Let's move up!

That damn bastard is at it again!

You've got to be kidding me.

He sent 300 messages. You'd think a war broke out or something.

Why can't he just send it all in one long message?

Why does he send them line by line? It's a pain to delete them.

Seriously.

When can I finally stop hearing from him?

When can I finally stop hearing you talk crap about him while we eat?

Whether it's 300 or 900 messages,

just go, "Oh, he's at it again," and move on.

I told you time and time again

that anyone trashing an idiot for being an idiot is an idiot too!

Idiot best friends.

You two won't split up.

Ormy and Gasmy.

Even your nicknames come from the same cheap word.

Do you know how hard I worked to split you two up?

You two are soulmates.

You'll never split up.

Just keep living like that.

Keep talking crap about Hwang Dong-man,

keep proving you're just like him,

and keep living as his soulmate.

You're saying this works?

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning, Ms. Ko.

CEO KO HYE-JIN

Good morning, Mr. Choi.

I'm following up to see if the screenplay I asked you to forward to Mr. Noh

has been passed along.
