The first 200 lines.
(since Action 10.13 signaled the war against organized crime.)
(Chapter 1, War Against Crime, The Era of the Hillbillies)
(They leave their romantic hometown of Busan...)
(and move to Seoul, dreaming of success.)
(Yu Jae Seok, a successful man from Busan)
My word. What an amazing view.
(A great vantage point of the center of Jongno)
Excuse me.
Can you take my order?
Oh, thank you. Great.
(A rusty dialect from moving to Seoul young)
Gosh, there are so many...
Goodness.
Honey jujube, honey ginger, honey citron.
I want every one of them.
Can I have a traditional ssanghwa tea?
It's gotten pretty warm.
- Yes. - The weather.
Did you have breakfast?
I did.
It's cold in Seoul.
That lot again...
Boss.
- Hello. - We're late.
The traffic was horrendous.
I'm sorry, Boss.
(Heo, Tongyeong's number 1, Joo, Bones from Changwon)
I'm sorry, Boss.
- You made it. - Yes.
- "You made it." - "You made it."
Yes, we made it.
- Take a seat. - We're here.
Thanks.
- By the way. - Yes?
The reason we're meeting today...
There's a special cause...
Boss. You're a Seoul native.
I am not.
- I'm... - Also...
I'm the real deal.
- We're... - You're from outer space.
The thing is, today...
- Our usual hangout is Busan. - Yes.
Don't you know about the age of the barbarous?
- Right now, we're... - Can we say you're from here?
I am not. I'm from Busan, okay?
- Jae Seok. You insist... - Oh, my gosh.
- I can't stand this. - Busan? So what?
You sound so weird!
We're from Busan!
- I don't even want to respond. - You're from Busan?
- I don't even want to answer. - We're from Busan!
It was game over the moment he tried to speak the dialect.
"You made it."
- We're from Busan. - Us guys from Busan...
- Why are you from Busan? - Well...
I sang "Busan Vacance."
Are you from Mapo or Busan?
- I live in Mapo-gu. - Why don't you go live there?
So you live in Mapo-gu.
But I hail from Busan!
Do I have to punch someone today?
- Hang on. Calm down. - You won't reach anyone.
Place your orders first.
I'll have honey jujube tea.
Honey jujube.
I'll have honey jujube tea as well.
You should have ssanghwa tea if you're here.
- Pardon? - Ssanghwa tea?
- Yes. - Give us ssanghwa tea, then.
- Where are you from, Auntie? - Sounds like Gyeongsang Province.
- From Daegu. - Daegu?
- Daegu... - That's a rough place.
I can tell right away.
We'll have ssanghwa tea.
- Three ssanghwa teas. - Yes.
Okay. So, today,
- Kyeong Hwan... - Yes.
invited a hometown friend.
Why isn't he here yet?
- He'll be here soon. - Why is he here?
- He doesn't know the way. - So...
He might take a detour.
My gosh, Seoul's massive.
- Seoul's really massive. - See?
- I feel almost dizzy. - You're here.
- Come and sit. - We're so high up, I feel dizzy.
I've never been on the 15th floor.
- Come and join us. - Aren't you Sang Gook?
It's a pleasure to meet you.
How are you?
- Hello. - This is my friend.
- Hello. - It's good to see you.
- You really... - Yes.
I heard a lot about you. You're Yang Sang Gook?
Yes, I'm Yang Sang Gook.
He's my friend from Gimhae.
From Gimhae?
You're not from Busan either, then.
I'm not.
I was born and bred in Gimhae.
- Today... - You didn't live in Busan?
Come on. Ilsan locals say they live in Seoul,
and Gimpo locals say the same too.
I know about some fakers saying they hail from Gyeongsang Province.
I'm the real deal, the original.
- That's it. This guy here. - Yes.
- He uses the Busan dialect. - Boss.
We must clear something up first.
Listen up.
Who here has any ties to Busan?
I worked part-time at a naengmyeon place there.
- For real? - In Busan, for real.
- Where in Busan? - In Nampo-dong.
- Where in Nampo-dong? - For how long?
For two years or so.
- At a naengmyeon place in Busan. - Really?
- For real? - I was...
I twisted the noodles before putting them in the bowls.
- And you? - I was actually...
I finished high school in Changwon.
- I see. - Yes.
I went to college in Busan.
- We must give him that. - That's true.
- College. - That's a fact.
- I'm the Haeundae ambassador. - Hey.
And I sang "Busan Vacance."
- Hey. - And the Busan baseball team!
The song "Busan Vacance" proves you're a fake.
How so?
If you live in Busan, why would you holiday in Busan?
You're from Gimhae!
- People from Seoul visit Busan! - You visited Busan too!
Should I put a spike in you?
What are you? Who do you think you are?
What are you?
What is he even saying?
- Gosh. "Spike." - Do you think you're special?
- Hang on. - My gosh...
- To me, you can't... - Hey.
Will you let me live in peace?
Not to me!
- Hey. - What did you say?
It's good to see you, Sang Gook.
- Yes, hello. - Hello.
Kyeong Hwan.
- Can I hold your hand a bit longer? - He's trembling.
- Gosh. - He's a junior comedian.
Why are your hands so damp?
I thought you'd dunked them in the Han River.
I had no idea I sweat this much.
I learned that today, and I'm 44 years old.
- Gosh. - I'm that nervous.
I'm that nervous.
Sang Gook.
- Goodness. - Order him something.
- What do you want? - Well...
Howdy!
- "Howdy." - Excuse me?
- He's the real deal. - The menu is right here.
Where is the menu?
- He's like my dad. - What?
I'm different from him.
(Even those from his area can't handle him.)
- We're from the inland. - Busan people...
Thank you. Oh, gosh...
Is this yulmu tea?
- Ma'am. - What?
There's ginseng in the ssanghwa tea?
Yes, a young root. It's good for you.
It tastes good.
Auntie, can I have a rich, sweet coffee?
Three sugars and five creamers.
- Thanks. - You'll get diabetes.
- Yes. Or a serious sugar spike. - Diabetes.
I couldn't believe what I'd said either.
Can you finish the coffee?
I surprised myself.
- Why did you say that? - Just...
It's hard to make up for 44 years of comic relief in one go.
Goodness...
I haven't had this kind of coffee in a while.
- That was fast. - Anyway, Kyeong Hwan's friend,
- Sang Gook, is joining us today. - My gosh.
- Right. - Where do you live now, Sang Gook?
Yeoksam...
You live in Gangnam.
- You little... - Hey.
- Go out... - Get out of here.
- Just leave. - Hey.
Are you kidding me right now?
- I'm sorry. - Are you trying to con us?
- Sang Gook. - You said your friend...
from your hometown was visiting Seoul.
So I asked him where he lived.
- I'm sorry, but... - Which floor do you live on?
- Pardon? - What's your floor number?
The 18th floor.
That's pretty high up.
- You said you hadn't been... - Get out.
