The Elephant on the Bike

YANG Jin-woo

KlM Jung-hwa

OH Kwang-rok

I told you I 'd take care of that. Get some rest.

You're right. I shouldn 't push myself.

Excuse me!

Could you take a picture of us?

I can 't find anyone to take a picture.

The zoo could close down with no one around like this.

It did.

Sorry?

We'll close up.

A theme park is opening up in the town.

But it's different here. And it's peaceful.

Maybe 'cause it's old.

It sure is. It's the country's first zoo.

How shall I take the picture?

Everybody, let's take a picture!

Come, we' re gonna take a pic with the elephant.

Come here. This way.

Sorry, my camera is too small. Press it without the gloves.

Okay, one, two, three.

What's with the long faces? Smile.

Right, smile everyone. Say cheese!

Here you go.

Closed

Stop calling me while I 'm working.

I told you he has a good appetite.

Don 't prepare anything special.

It's just a casual dinner.

What about dad? Already?

Excuse me.

There's a problem.

Sorry, no more tickets to Seoul.

Someone's sitting in my seat.

Mom, I 'll call you later.

Let me check it for you.

I 'm sorry. I sold two of the same tickets.

Are you kidding me?

I want to speak to your manager. Call your manager now!

You always listen to this sort of gloomy music.

Where are we going?

To my place.

Why all of a sudden?

My dad 's in town.

How long will you avoid him?

Hey...

Why is everyone being a party pooper?

Mom, I was right, wasn 't I? Look, he likes any type of food.

Dad.

Yes, right. Help yourself to plenty.

Thank you for the meal.

Dong-kyu!

Dad, what's wrong with you?

Let's go for a drink.

Are you sleeping again?

That was close!

Can 't they get it in like this? Damn it.

Hey, is something wrong?

By any chance,

are you rooting for Togo?

Hey, stop drinking.

He's not answering?

No.

When he comes, tell him to call me.

Sure.

See you later.

Bye, Yoo-ri.

Don 't forget the class reunion.

Everyone in Seoul is coming down,

so let's meet them, okay?

I told you hundred times I would.

Hey, I 'm taking off.

If your mom sees me, she'll blame me for getting you drunk.

Hurry up and go inside.

You always get me into trouble,

you know?

Hello!

Hello, Yoo-ri.

Dong-kyu!

Know what the saying is for salvia flowers?

' My heart is burning for you. '

The coffee here tastes really good.

When did you say the zoo is closing?

In the fall.

Wasn 't there any good news from the company you'd applied?

Why don 't you apply for another company then?

There's not much time left.

Okay. I 'll try.

Don 't say just okay, really look for one.

I told you I am.

Why are you getting upset with me?

I 'm the one who should be upset.

Why didn 't you answer my calls?

Why didn 't you tell me beforehand?

If I did, you wouldn 't have met my dad.

Have you ever thought about how I 'd feel?

How about me?

You always put things off, while my parents push me to marry.

I 'm up to my neck.

I can 't take it anymore.

Can 't take what?

Don 't you really know what it is?

Know what my dad said after you left?

That hand...

I 'm sorry.

Dong-kyu, let's meet my dad again.

And apologize to him.

Are you that unsure about me?

Where are you going? We have to finish talking first!

'Would you tell me which way I ought to go from here? '

Then the cat says,

'That depends on where you want to go. '

Alice says again,

' It doesn 't matter wherever I go. '

The cat tells her the truth, laughing.

'Then it doesn 't matter which way you go. '

What book is that?

'Alice in Wonderland. '

Where did you get it?

I picked it up beside the fence.

That kid on picnic must've dropped it.

It's really a fun book.

The kid must be missing it a lot.

Give it to me. I 'll return it on my way out.

Going to see your dad?

Yes.

Hello?

Hello?

You play the piano very well.

Ah, so it was at the zoo.

The kid who left it cried so much.

Thank you very much. You saved my life.

Hold this for a sec.

You won 't believe this,

but I dreamed of becoming an elephant keeper at the zoo.

What's wrong with this?

Can you help me?

You know, the elephant is the biggest animal on land.

It can beat a tiger and a lion.

And can do anything with its nose.

Why are you staring at me?

Long ago, someone I know said the very same thing.

Really?

That's strange.

Can you turn on the switch?

Okay.

Gosh, this will hurt the kids' eyes.

I think the problem is not

the fluorescent bulb, but electricity itself.

Call an electrician. He can change it right away.

Can you change it for me?

Sorry?

It was a joke.

Oh, right.

Dad, I 'm here.

How are you?

I 'm fine.

Dong-kyu!

Yes?

Do you know what this is?

I have no idea.

This is a wrench.

If the bike breaks here...

I 'm talking to you. Pay attention.

Take a look here.

I'll explain again.

I don't want to listen.

You still have to listen.

Why do I have to?

You'll know later when you grow up. Listen carefully.

What are you doing?

Dong-kyu brought a Family Conditions Report from school.

Just write anything. What are you worried about?

Calculate this first.

This is more important.

He has to take it to school tomorrow.

Then, you do it Dong-kyu. You' re good at counting, right?

Dad, you can 't even do that? I don 't feel like doing it.

Get up, boy.

Now!

Figure it out.

30 times 1,200.

dad!

Dad, I wish you wear a tie and suit to work like other dads?

I like riding a bicycle.

Wait, since it's a full month, 31 times 1,200.

What are you peeking at?

Yoon-ah, aren 't you hungry?

Want me to make you something to eat?

I 'm okay, mom.

Dong-kyu, are you sleeping?

Dong-kyu,

if you keep hating to go to school, Mom will be worried.

Right?

Now you ' re in fourth grade. Do you want a present?
