The first 200 lines.
This is a bus ticket to Seoul.
You want me to go back to Seoul alone?
Decide if you want to go back to Seoul alone or with me.
I'll be back in a while.
Think long and hard,
so you won't regret it later.
If you're going to accept me as I am,
stay here and wait for me.
If you don't have the heart to,
take the bus to Seoul alone.
And just in case,
let's say goodbye here.
Hurry.
You made me laugh.
Thanks.
Even if this is the end, I'm okay with it
because I was happy.
You!
I can't believe my ears.
What did you say? A high school dropout?
Everyone has a college degree these days,
so why couldn't he get one?
And he operates an excavator? And he's poor?
Are you out of your mind?
How awful? Where did you find him?
Did you get a lobotomy without telling me?
Father, don't get upset over this.
What's wrong with you?
You know how I broke their hearts.
You were a teacher, so how could you meet a high school dropout?
He dropped out in his junior year?
I dropped out of college and people hold that against me. It's humiliating.
He should at least have a college degree.
I know.
Even I have a college degree.
I have an English Lit degree.
And I have a law degree.
And I have a commerce degree.
Gwangbak, I'm very disappointed in you.
This is nuts.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I was in the Miss Korea pageant!
I can't believe how dumb you are.
The Korean War was nothing compared to this.
Egh, hyo, hyo, hyo.
We should beat some sense into you.
Dad, here.
Rude, ugly hag.
You yelled at me to study hard, and you're seeing a high school dropout?
Can I drop out of school?
We're wasting our time. Get out!
Out!
Go inside before I get mad.
No, no, no.
Why I ought to!
Are you okay? Honey, wake up! Honey!
How can you hit him?
Are you a thug?
Hey, I'm sorry I yelled at you.
The car from before, was that yours?
It was a nice car.
Give me your number.
Your phone number.
Aeji, it's dinner time. Aeji!
What's wrong?
Can't you hear me?
Mom!
I broke the stroller.
What?
What do we do now?
Your father is going to be furious.
What am I going to do?
He might kick me and Aeji out.
What do we do?
Uh, father, you're home!
Mom! Father's home.
You're home! You must be tired.
What's going on? What's wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
I think you deserve this kind of welcome.
Don't you think so, too?
Right. Father, let's go inside.
Gwangbak's spending the night out with friends.
She called me.
The house felt really empty today, and I couldn't wait for you to come home.
Empty?
Mother and Don are home.
What's wrong? Why are you acting like this?
What do you mean?
It's weird. Act like you normally do.
Mother!
Uh, father, about my getting a job...
I asked a few people.
What kind of job? I never worked before.
When are they getting back to you?
They said as soon as possible.
Mother!
Honey, honey, wait a second. Come here.
Why?
Tada! Pumpkin rice cake.
Your favorite, pumpkin rice cake.
You love pumpkin anything.
Pumpkin rice cake, pumpkin soup,
and your favorite daughter is Hobak (pumpkin).
It's really delicious, father. Try it.
Later.
It won't be as good when it's cold. Try it.
I haven't even washed my hands yet.
I'll feed it to you.
Isn't it delicious, father?
Oh, my! I think his hair is getting thicker.
Huh?
Oh! Right! You're getting younger.
You look 10 years younger.
Did mother have some, too?
Excuse me?
Of course she did.
Father, I drew a bath for you.
This early?
Our bathroom is cold, so it's better to do it early.
You worked hard all day, so you should soak yourself in hot water.
Why are you rushing me tonight?
Let me say hi to mother first.
The bath is getting cold. Say hi later.
Oh, man...
What is it?
I need clean underwear.
I'll bring it to you. Get into the bath.
We've bought some time.
What if grandmother doesn't come back?
Is that him?
Name?
It's Ko Minjung.
This is crazy.
I looked for them everywhere.
What are we going to do, then?
What else can we do, mom? Let's confess.
Let's confess and ask for forgiveness.
He's going to blow up.
Oh, what the heck! He can't kill us.
Oh, that was nice.
Hey, is there anything to drink?
What's wrong?
Tell me. What did you do?
Grandmother ran away with uncle.
What?
Grandmother!
Uncle!
- Grandmother! - Mother!
Grandmother!
Have you seen my mother?
No, I haven't.
Mom, I'm hungry.
I'm hungrier now that I've left home.
That's normal.
No home, no comfort.
Can't we get something and put it on Bong's tab?
Don't ruin your brother's reputation.
Everyone knows he's a vice principal.
Do you have any money?
Of course not.
Mom, why did you name me Don?
I have no idea.
Your father named you before he died.
He probably wanted you to become rich.
Hey, look in your pocket.
Do you think I can become rich someday?
I have some!
You do?
Oh, you little!
Try carrying some money next time.
But I don't have any to carry around.
How about you, mom?
I was furious so I didn't bring anything.
Hey, follow me.
Try to look as sad as possible.
You used to look much sadder than that!
Remember what you do best?
Yes! that's it!
Follow me.
Oh, how cold.
Excuse me, it's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you.
Not really.
I fled from North Korea during the Korean War.
Excuse me?
And I'm starving. Can you give me some food?
You came from North Korea?
Yes.
He's not my son but grandson, but he hasn't eaten for days.
Please give us some food.
She's my grandmother.
You can have these.
Thank you, thank you. God bless you.
Hey, slow down. You'll get sick.
This is the last bus to Seoul!
If you're going to Seoul, please hurry!
This is the last bus to Seoul!
Excuse me, is this the last bus?
Yes.
