JULY 1992 PUSAN

I can't believe

I once jumped with excitement when you were born.

You don't deserve to be called a human!

You're not a human, jerk!

You're not a human being either, jerk!

What? Did you just call me a jerk?

What's wrong with calling someone a jerk when he calls my kid a jerk?

Goodness. Come here.

Go ahead! Go ahead and hit me!

I would just get punched and stay in a hospital.

Then I'm going to tell everyone in this town.

You'll find your face on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper saying

that the Pusan Seagulls' coach hit his wife. That'll teach you a lesson.

THREE DAYS AGO SEOUL STATION

Go this way and take off at Dongjak Station

and ask the cab driver to take you

where Heukseok-dong Myeongsudae Hyundai Apartment is.

But, what if I miss a chance to see him this time again?

Hee-jun shows up sometimes though.

Tony never shows his face to us.

If I can't see Tony this time, I won't go back home.

It took me three hours to do my hair.

Doing my hair for three hours every morning is killing me.

Tony likes this hairstyle.

One girl did her hair like Hee-jun.

-Hee-jun's hair is old-fashioned. -Right.

-I did it for her. -Do it for me too.

-You should get your hair cut. -You should.

Look, there's Pocari!

POCARI IS THE NICKNAME FOR TONY AN'S PERSONAL CAR IN 1992.

-Tony! -Goodness!

-I hit the jackpot today. -Tony!

I got to see him driving today. But what's going on today?

-He's home early. -Tony. It's me, Hee-jung.

Tony. Ji-sun is here too.

Did you have a good trip to America?

Yes, I did, but you know what?

I'm not going to leave my place for a while. You should all go home.

-No way. -Tony.

-No. -Goodness.

What's going on? Did he say something?

What? He didn't say anything.

I'm sure he said something.

IN FRONT OF TONY'S HOUSE

IN THE ALLEY OF TONY'S HOUSE

AT A CONVENIENT STORE NEAR TONY'S HOUSE

I can't just give up and go home now.

TONY'S FRONT DOOR

Where are you going?

Come here. My goodness.

Hold on. I came all the way from Pusan.

I came all the way from America.

Isn't this too much? You can't do this.

Si-won Sung.

You scared him.

You made him uncomfortable.

How dare you think of coming here?

Goodness. He must be so tired.

He must be exhausted.

I must have been a huge nuisance to him.

I'm a crazy bitch. You crazy bitch.

How am I going to see him now?

Hey, Pusan!

Yes?

This is your last chance, okay? Don't come here anymore.

Here.

Do you have enough money for transportation?

Tony.

I love you.

Love?

Don't cry.

Why the hell are you crying?.

Love your own dad

as much as you love that monkey bastard!

But you still can't do that to her hair.

Look. She still has to go to school.

How can someone who knows that she has to go to school,

do such a thing to her hair?

I'm the one who's raising her to become a human being.

Where do you think you were going?

You're not a human.

Does she look like a human?

It's an ostrich. I see an ostrich head!

Well, I could've shaved her head but i left some for her.

I could pull out all of her hair.

Goodness.

Ulala Session's having a concert...

SEOUL 2012 PUSAN KWANGAN HIGH SCHOOL 38TH REUNION

There are only A seats left.

Should I reserve these seats?

If you had told me earlier,

I could reserve the tickets as fast as I could.

Who knew if we could do that with our phones?

What a technology.

When we were young, we had to wait in line all night long.

I know. I stayed up many nights in front of Jaeil Bank in Nampo-dong.

Right. Being someone's fan is an easy job to do these days.

It's Yoon-jae Yoon's favorite song.

EPISODE 3

You've received one music gift.

JULY 1997 PUSAN

To hear the music, press one. To delete...

Number 1004?

Who's this?

Si-won Sung. Hurry up.

Hey, honey.

Are we out of the kimchi that my mom sent from Gokseong?

I've asked her to send some more. Eat this for today.

Come on.

You know that I need that kimchi for my appetite.

Let's take it easy for today.

Can't you be patient?

Is that really that difficult to give a call to my mom and ask how she's doing?

If you called her more often, she would've sent us

her lovely kimchi before we even asked for it.

Giving a call to your mother in law who lives by herself won't break your finger.

Am I wrong?

She sends kimchi for us if we want some.

She sends us anything we want. Peaches, watermelons,

She even sends some Spring brackens and harvested rice.

She sends barley too.

-Last year, she sent us some beef... -Enough. I said it's enough.

If I had such a good mother-in-law, I would carry her

on my back and take care of her.

I send her monthly allowance.

What? Why are you talking about money?

Seriously, there's no one as nice as my mom in the world.

I've never seen her mention anything about how terrible you are with house chores.

She made this kimchi for us.

Every time I see her kimchi, it makes me tear up.

Put that spoon down then!

Why?

Move to your mom's house.

You can live with her and eat her food.

Why don't you go and ask her to give you some breast milk too?

Oh yeah, I've already asked for that too!

What do you mean your mom ? Watch your mouth.

What's wrong with that? Did I say something wrong?

Of course it's your mom . Is she my mom then?

What? Come back and sit here!

You're being very rude right now. Show some respect!

Mom!

Mom, is there anything...

-Nice. -Mom!

Give me some soup at least.

Mom!

-Did you cause trouble again? -No, I didn't.

Who else could make them fight?

Don't get on my nerves this early in the morning.

I would do the same thing if I were him. How can you go to Seoul alone?

He saved your ass. If I were him, I would shave your head.

What was she thinking?

I know. I'm aware of what I've done.

I feel bad because my parents fought earlier this morning. You're not helping.

You're shit.

-Yoon-jae. -Hello.

You look like Audrey Hepburn.

Why do you look so depressed? Did something happen?

My parents argue every day lately.

They had another big argument this morning too.

He made my hair look like shit.

-He made me feel like shit today too. -Really?

I'm thinking about going to court on July 17th.

To court? Why?

I've reached the point where I believe

that people from Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla-do

should be banned by law from marrying one another.

It really gives their kids a hard time.

It must be hard for you.

There must be a reason for their conflict. Don't you think so?

He makes me feel worse.

You didn't eat breakfast, did you? Let's go to the cafeteria. I'm buying.

What a nice guy.

He's not.

Did you poop? Let me clean up for you, sweetie.

Your Tamagotchi is fancy. It doesn't poop much.

It doesn't poop much,

but it won't sleep at night. It died three times already.

I had to start all over again this morning.

How old are you?

This is about humanism that a cold-hearted man like you would never understand.

Do you hear me?

Hey, look at me.

-Are things still bad with Yu-jung? -Yes.

Yu-jung seems like she really wants to make up with you.

-Why? Did she say something? -No, she didn't.

Forget it. What pisses me off

is not because she became a fan of Sechs Kies.

She didn't tell me about it, That's what really pisses me off.

She could've kept messing with me if I didn't find it out.

I just don't want to deal with a bitch like her.

I shaved my hair for my friend's sake.

Excuse me.

Are you shooting a commercial here?

Goodness.

This is a lot of writing. It's too much.

They can just talk instead. Why does he write everything here?

Who's on eraser duty this week?

Sung-jae!
