When Life Gives You Tangerines (폭싹 속았수다)

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES

Are they spies? They're not, are they?

Because I heard one of them is from Busan, right?

Look, Mr. Kim,

these kids don't get to decide what they are.

Namsan decides.

You ate everything.

Were you hungry?

Look down, you. You think this is funny?

We keep feeding them. That's why kids keep running away.

These hooligans will have to return to Namsan and come back to their senses.

Couple of life sentences. That would be patriotic.

Look at that.

They're in love.

Are you out of your mind, punk?

You're in the big city now, Jeju boy.

Roll your sleeve down again.

So you think you can block a hit from a big-city police officer, do ya?

-You little brat! -Are you even in charge here?

Are you who decides what happens to us? Or do you answer to someone else?

Oh, how sweet. Double trouble.

Why you little...

You hear this chick talk back to me? How dare you?

Is that against the law? Am I going to jail now?

Will I be serving a life sentence?

You're one of those girls, right?

A girl who smokes and wears miniskirts!

Am I going to Namsan for wearing skirts?

That lady reported us as runaways, right?

There's certainly nothing more she could have accused us of.

More than what?

Did you steal something too? What did you steal?

This boy and I are not sitting here in this police station because we're thieves.

We're... We are just sitting here

because we are just minors,

and we're in need of Busan police protection.

All we need is to sit quietly and wait for our guardians to pick us up.

-You expect special treatment? -I expect you not to hit him.

This girl... is a politician.

Oh my. The Romeo and Juliet of Jeju Island.

So why aren't you calling your mothers, then, huh?

There's no need for that.

The boy's mom has been camping out front all day long.

What?

Tall and handsome.

And the naughty look.

There she is now.

Ma?

Mom.

The suitcase?

-Where is it? -Huh?

-Where is my gold, huh? Huh? - Huh?

Damn it.

My gold. Good Lord.

Where's my gold frog, huh? Where's my golden frog?

Well? It's real gold, isn't it?

It is.

That husband of mine.

I swear, he does this for every anniversary.

He just can't wait to buy me something nice.

Is that right?

Look, it's just,

our cabinet is practically filled with jewelry.

I wanna get rid of what's out of fashion.

But they're still worth a lot.

Are they?

You gave me a good price the last time.

That was summer, and you said it was your anniversary then.

So? Is your anniversary in the summer or not?

At the time, you said your husband got you a gold bracelet.

No, it's...

it's in the spring.

Mm, I see.

Besides,

does it matter?

I hope you enjoyed your stay.

- How much do I owe you? - 300 won.

Give it to me.

- No, give it to me. - Give it to me.

Give it to me.

-Don't mind her. I'll take that. -Ah! Don't you dare give it to her.

-That money is mine. -Hey!

I'm the owner here! What would he pay you for? It's my motel.

It's her motel and my money. I had a suitcase, and this woman stole it.

So I'm collecting the money until her debt is paid.

She's lying. Give it here.

You know what? I'll come back later.

Wait, wait, wait, wait! Hold on.

Where are you going? Wait!

Damn it.

-What's your plan now? -

You gonna spend the night?

You know why we don't have thieves on Jeju Island?

Because Jeju hospitality is top-notch?

We wear them down.

We don't give in until they're broken.

We keep the pressure on until the victim has driven the robber completely insane.

That's why we don't.

Wow. Damn Jeju witch.

You're the crazy one.

Do you hear me? You're the crazy one.

Just leave me alone! Damn you!

I'm taking back what I'm owed, and that's all there is.

So I'll be here all day and night

until I've recovered the full cost of my golden toad.

What?

Did you say your "toad"?

The cost of my golden toad, yeah.

Really? Ah!

So the gold frog is a gold toad now? Not when I saw it!

You really stepped in it now.

She's got you there, Mom. Better give her the frog back.

I'll take your word for it. Toads are bigger anyway.

Oh, I see. You think you can rob me, eh?

I'll bet you have a criminal history, don't you?

- -Maybe we should call the cops.

-Just wait, you... -What the...

-You want me to call the cops? -Hey, ladies!

-Do you? -Call them!

-Knock it off! -What the hell do you want?

Did you think we wouldn't check the jewelry store? Sheesh.

You do realize this makes ten offenses?

Come on, think of your child for once.

Let's go.

Don't take anyone from Jeju while I'm gone.

Take her away.

-Get your hands off me. -Take her away.

Good Lord. She's committed ten offenses?

Oh, get your hands off me!

Ain't she a handful?

Ay, ay, ay.

Hey, you brats! You're gonna pay for that fan.

You hear me? You're gonna pay.

Did you have a circus in there or what?

How'd you even break it in the first place?

You're a couple of filthy animals!

-Hey, stop pushing me! -

Ta-da!

Bought the tofu already?

Uh, no.

I didn't buy the tofu.

A girl bought it for us.

Your, uh,

birthday rings weren't in the bag. Did you not take them when you left?

Everything we took was in the bag.

I can't believe this.

You're just like your dad.

Both of you, just like dogs.

Ae-sun, let's take you home.

My girl, you've really done it this time.

YESTERDAY WAS YOUR SPRING

You will never hear the end of this one.

FACULTY OFFICE

She should've just left on her own.

Did she have to drag down the boy with her?

- -

That boy is one of the top four runners in all of Jeju.

Well, she's the poet of class eight?

Poet, my foot.

Did she run away with her boyfriend for poetry?

POEMS OF YU CHI-HWAN HANDKERCHIEF OF ETERNAL NOSTALGIA

EXPULSION NOTICE OH AE-SUN

DUE TO AN UNAUTHORIZED RUNAWAY AND DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR

You've completely ruined your life with this.

Everyone on this island knows everything about everybody.

I can't even show my face at the factory.

Now you've gone and dragged this family's name through the mud.

Like your son painted it gold.

You can't compare him with her.

No, when a man is financially unsuccessful,

he may lose a house, but that's different.

Why do you insist on bringing him up?

Did he run a business, or did he gamble it away?

And now what? Huh?

What are you gonna do now?

You won't work at a factory. You can't get married.

Will you live here as a spinster?

What about him?

What did that awful boy say?

Look there.

See the grandmother who raised you since you were a baby?

Look what you've done to her! Is it just you that matters?

What would the ancestors think?

I'm the one marrying her.

Not the ancestors.
