Cracked Eggs & Noodles

Hey, listen!

You know who I hate most in the world?

My dad. You know why?

All my dad ever did was to make me.

I raised myself.

You know how much I earn a month?

Barely $1,000.

Not enough to buy myself the bare necessities.

You don't know what you're getting yourself into.

Put that away!

What's wrong with you?

Where you going?

Hey!

I'm going to abort your child, Dae-kyu, you bastard!

The economy's so bad...

What if all the record companies go out of business?

Won't that be good for us?

Are you kidding?

Ever seen a dead tree bear fruit?

For us fakers to survive

the originals have to do well.

What the hell took you so long?

Hey! Where are you off to?

You're supposed to be working! Not me!

You should leave him alone today.

Why? Did his old man croak or something?

Croak?

- Do you have to say that? - Fine.

Did his father pass away? Happy now?

Geezus...

Hah, a little more and you might hit me.

Where you going?

At least give me my salary before bossing me around!

I mean, I know exactly how much he has in his account.

So why the hell isn't he giving me my salary?

What's wrong? What did Jin-Young say?

Nothing... she just cried.

Why would she cry?

It's her fault she got pregnant.

Well...

I just feel bad for her.

Why would you feel that?

It's you who's worse off.

Oops. Darn...

When will my life finally get on track?

Look, there's nothing to life. It's a gamble.

This is all it'll take.

Once I hit the jackpot, I'm done!

The lottery again?

I can only seem to get the first three numbers.

It's killing me.

You're out of your mind.

Who is it?

I thought I'd burst!

Who are you?

Who are you?

Do you have to go, too?

This place sucks.

Does she live here, too?

I think you've got the wrong address...

You know Chun Mi-yeon?

She's my mom.

You two used to be in a high school band, right?

My mom sang better than you...

but you wanted to be the singer so she slept with you to get lead.

I'll be living here from now on.

Hey! Gwi-Nyu! Gwi-Nyu!

Oh, right!

My name's Chun ln-Kwon.

Of all the rock stars, mom had to name me after a freak.

I hear you wanted to be like him.

Look, I'm not Lee Dae-Kyu!

So get out of here! There's no one here by that name!

Close the door and come here. I need to talk to you.

I've seen your picture. You're my dad.

Get out of here. Try next door.

You're up early.

Their new album is out?

Okay. Is the boss there yet?

Fine, I'll be right there.

Where do you go to school?

Are you messing with me?

What's the name of your school?

Give me your number, quickly. Your home phone number.

Your number! Quickly!

Your mom's cellphone number, then!

Can't you hear me? Hey!

Tell me your mom's number if you don't want to end up here.

Shit, I don't know.

Shit?

Shit? Why, you...

Did your mom teach you to say "shit"?

Did she tell you to say that in front of adults?

You little beast!

I feel sorry for your mom. And your dad, too.

How did they mess up a kid so bad?

Dork...

Nobody talks bad about my mom!

You wanna die?

I can take you in one blow!

Mr. Lee Dae-Kyu?

Kids his age can be a little mischievous. Sheesh.

That doesn't mean you can treat your own kid like this!

I've got better things to do!

Take him!

He had nothing all day, so get him something to eat.

No leeks?

Eggs?

No eggs?

Should I run out and get some?

That'll take too much time.

So you don't know?

Even now, when your dad gets drunk...

Remember that cow you sold?

He yells at me to go find it!

My nose still hurts from when your dad hit it with a poker.

You know that?

Do you know Ki-Joo's number?

Ki-Joo? How would I know that?

I'm working my butt off at a stupid farm over here.

I thought you two went to Seoul together.

After you left here for good he packed up and left home, too.

Wait for me, dad!

Dad! Wait!

Wait for me!

Dad! Don't go!

Wait for me!

Dad! Wait!

Dad! Don't go!

Wait for me!

Why's the wrapping on this so plain?

Move!

You just sit still and be quiet!

Move!

- You have a brother? - No.

- A sister? - No.

And you say this kid's your nephew?

Just tell people he's some kid from your neighborhood.

That's less weird.

You do this all by hand?

These are fakes, right?

I'm going to the restroom.

He's a bit...

He's driving me crazy.

2-9-1 -7? 1 -9-1 -7?

- One? - Okay, thanks.

- I miss you, man. - All right.

Let's have a drink sometime.

Hey, about your dad...

Last night, he was drunk. It was a bit dangerous.

Hey, the reception must be off!

Hello? Hey, I'll call you back later!

Who are you?

Let me go!

- Who's this kid? - Dae-Kyu's nephew.

Where the hell do you think you are?

What's this all about? What is this, a day care center?

Why'd you bring the kid here? What are you trying to pull?

Come on... his sister asked him, just for today.

Are you out of your mind?

Dae-Kyu! Hey!

This isn't some kindergarten, you know.

It isn't some snotty nursery.

What the hell's he doing here? Get him out!

Don't touch that! Go sit over there!

No, I want him out of here!

There's nowhere for him to go.

I won't bring him here anymore.

I'll take him with me later.

No. I want him out now!

Come on, he's just a kid...

Hey! Come out here.

As soon as I'm gone, you two screw this joint up!

And where are you going? Hey!

Damn it...

Dad! Dad!

Don't you sing anymore?

You're recording music tapes... Why not do yours?

Uncle...

Who was that guy back there? Is he your boss, dad?

Why didn't you do something when he hit you?

Oh...

If you did anything, you'd get fired, right?

Hello?

Is this Mr. Lee Dae-Kyu?

Yeah.

I'm Jin-Young's brother...

What are you doing, dad? Aren't you getting off?

It's our stop.

It took forever by subway, but the bus is way faster.

I was shocked, that's why.

So do you believe all this now?

I was really surprised. Think about it.

Imagine I claimed to be your dad, when you already have a father...

Wouldn't that be shocking?

And I have to go to work every day.

I can't look after you.

You stay with your mom, and I'll visit you every Sunday.

What should we do this Sunday?

Go to an amusement park?

It's a promise! Man to man!

A promise between men, okay?

Um...

Before that, I want to do just one more thing...

Take it! It's enough for the ride back!

Chun Mi-Yun... Mi-Yun...

What?

That bastard and I had a fight several days ago.

He's a friend only when we're drinking.

I need to get a phone number.

What am I a detective?

How will I get that? What's in it for me?

- Two hundred dollars. - Two hundred?

- Two hundred it is. - As soon as possible.

You messing with me, boy?

Stop kicking my door!

What you want to do is too hard, even for adults!

I saw it on TV before. Kids my age were doing it, too!

Are you nuts? It's a million degrees outside!

But I want to do it...

Why that? Of all things?

That's my business.

And this is my business!

I don't want to do that!

Give me another option. We'll do that.

Don't have one?

Then forget it!

Goodbye!

That's what life is like!

Well, that makes sense.

It must be everyone's fault!

But I know everything! Shut up!

Will it go away if we sing hard enough?

Will we be loved if we love first?

Will we succeed if we're rich enough?

Can we speed if our car's good enough? Shut up!

- Hey, kid! - Huh?

- Where do you live? - Apartment 301.

Hey, go back to your bed son.

Life goes on... Life goes on...

Shut up!

Police?

Yes...

This weird kid barged into my house.

He's making a ruckus, and all the neighbors are mad!

You're on your way?

Hey! Listen!

Hold on.

If you go to your mom's, I'll drop you there.

If not, it's prison for you, pal.

The police are on their way.

Won't you be in trouble if the police come?

Why?

Because I'm going to tell them what you do for a living.

You... you...!

Look! You're threatening me?

Call foryou. Get the phone, please.

Hello?

Oh, so what made you answer the phone this time?

What's it to you, huh? Who the hell are you?

I'm Jin-Young's brother, you bastard!

I think you've misunderstood some things.

I've already met her, and...

You're in for it when I go to Seoul.

Hanging up on me won't save you!

Try hanging up again!

I'll leave as soon as we do that.

No! I really don't want to!

I'll go home right away to my mom.

You spelled this wrong!

Sir?

Can I have a soda?

- How much is it? - Seventy-five cents.

Thank you.

Yeah, it'll be over by tomorrow night.

This might be the death of me.

All right. Tell the boss for me.

Write the date now Okay then.

Write your name down, too.

Let me see.

Okay!

I should go out to sea and remain a lonely bird...

So this is the southernmost tip of our country.

Feels weird, doesn't it?

This smell!

I like the sea because it never changes.

Whatever the reason, it feels good to be here!

What are you doing?

Is there something on the ground?

Hey, let's take a picture!

Come on. Let's take one picture.

Dork...

What's so dorky about taking pictures?

Hey!

Are you sure you want to do this?

Let's just have some sashimi and go home.

I'm just kidding!

Ok! Let's begin our cross-country hike!

Walking the length of the country!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

The earth is round anyway, so if we keep walking...

You can't give up already!

The game's just getting started!

Will that be enough?

Are you sure you don't need muscle enhancers?

You know, it also takes courage to admit defeat.

If you don't get up by the count of ten, it means you give up!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

Let's go!

Open the door...

I need to go pee...

Hurry up...

I look pretty good!

Hey, freak!

Hey, freak! Do the laundry, will you?

I'll be right back.

- Where's the yogurt? - Coming!

Sweety, Tell them you want me for an hour.

Just an hour. Come on.

- Where were you drinking? - I had some with my dinner.

Come on, just an hour...

What will we do for an hour?

Take us both to the karaoke.

- I know you love to sing. - Are you drunk?

Why should I go there with you?

- Come on, stop being so cheap. - Do you want to go sing?

Yeah...

A woman is not only a face, a real woman has a good heart...

A woman who never forgets a single meeting is a real woman...

Hello?

Where the hell are you?

I'm in Jeolla Province, sir.

- You hiding on me? - I moved here yesterday.

Look, I can track down your sorry hide anywhere.

- Let's see what you can do then. - Whatever, sir. Do as you wish, sir.

- Try to hide all you want. - Look for me all you want, sir.

- I'll get you and hack to pieces, you fucker! - Ok, please.

Let's sing another song!

Number 3852!

- The World Cup song! - World Cup?

Hey!

Hey!

Can't you hear me?

Let's take a break!

Give me some water at least. I feel like throwing...

Ugh...

I don't feel so good...

Even soldiers wouldn't march on a day like this.

Haven't you had enough?

What would you know about the adult world?

No one asked you to drink

If smoking, drinking, and girls are all it's about...

I could be an adult myself.

What about you?

You go every 30 minutes!

I'd wear a diaper if I were you.

You've got a baby pecker and you can't even pee that far.

You can't come close to my...

Hey! Watch it!

You've got nothing on me.

- Really? - Thank my ass.

I worked my butt off for this. I feel like your bitch.

Okay. Thanks!

No you're not. You better pay me in full.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

How'd you find out so soon?

- You've got great friends. - Whatever.

I'll give you the number, so try calling her.

Okay. Thanks.

What's wrong with your pee?

My shoe's rotting here!

Hello?

Um... is this Mi-Yun's cellphone?

Hello? Hello?

I can't hear you.

You've got the wrong number.

Who was that?

Huh? Oh... no one...

It wasn't her!

You got me the wrong number!

Hello? Hello?

Damn it!

Let's go!

Hey, urine boy! Let's go!

Leave it alone!

So you're talking again?

And I thought drinking my pee had turned you mute.

Whatever, kid.

As soon as I get her number,

that's it for you. That's it!

It'll be over right then!

You fishing for shellfish?

Shellfish?

I'm sorry!

You're sorry?

Hey! You punk!

You stop right there!

Hey!

I can't believe my luck...

I should get a DNA test to prove this is all a joke!

Why?

You miss your mommy?

Hurry up!

Just look at you!

Hey, urine boy.

Wash the clothes in the bathtub.

I can't. This hurts...

Stop faking and go do it. I've nothing to wear tomorrow.

After the sunrise... the sunset comes...

The moon comes up... and the sun returns...

Why do you sing those?

Can't you sing normal, cutesy children songs?

It's like you're freaking fifty.

One little tadpole...

two little tadpoles...

three little tadpoles...

four little tadpoles...

five little tadpoles...

six little tadpoles... seven little tadpoles...

- Why aren't you eating those? - They make me want to throw up.

Dad!

Don't you feel the same when you eat cucumbers?

What am I a kid?

It's so hot! Why would they give us rice rolls?

I told you not to call me "dad" in front of others!

Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad!

We have to go from here to here.

Today's our three day, right?

See, we came this far.

Does this make sense to you?

We've come a long way.

Fine, you win. You can stay with me.

We've done enough, so let's go back home.

You can stay with me till school starts.

After that, we can decide after I meet your mom.

Do you want to quit that bad?

Then forget it. I'll go myself.

Hi!

Hi!

Will that be on TV?

Just one question.

Why do you want to do this?

Are you advocating human rights?

Yearning for unification?

This will make my wish come true.

What wish?

He said if I walk the country, my wish will come true.

- Who said? - Han-Byul...

Who's that?

He's a fifth-grader at my school.

He made a wish, and promised God he'd walk the length of Korea.

And last summer, he did it.

He said it was damn...

I mean, really hard.

Terribly hard.

Han-Byul is very weak...

People told him to stop,

but he finished the trip.

You know what happened then?

What do you mean? What happened?

Soon after, his mom got better and came home from the hospital.

Look, urine boy.

You're not fooling anyone

with this phoney innocence crap.

However hard it might get, you'll get your wish in the end.

Look at you all sweet!

Who said that one? That Han-Byul guy?

Someone I know.

Look, I've been here 20 years longer than you have.

People who say that are just trying to escape their miserables...

Never mind.

So what's your wish?

If I tell you, it'll jinx it.

If it comes true, I'll let you know.

Come on! Let's walk a bit more, then go eat something.

Will you be paying for it?

We can go wherever you want. What do you want?

Fried chicken and a beer...

That'll be perfect.

It's that kid!

Yeah, it is.

Hey, come here!

Are you going to the DMZ, too?

Yeah.

So are we.

Is that so?

Have one.

So you're going to the demilitarized zone?

Thank you.

You're the producer, right?

You're smart! How'd you know?

I saw you on TV once.

He's my da...

He's my uncle.

Your nephew might find this hard...

You're a pretty great uncle.

Well... he wanted to do this, so...

Would you like one?

That's okay.

You're pretty brave.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

What's your dream?

To be a rock star!

Like this?

Would you like to try singing in front of those people?

Not for free.

We're going to shoot this, okay?

Is it rolling?

Now, try it in front of the camera.

Hey, let's go. What are you doing?

After the sunrise... the sunset comes...

- The moon comes up... - I'm so sorry.

and the sun returns...

What are you doing?

Flowers will bloom...

Let me go! I want to go sing!

We're on a street!

- What are you, a beggar? - So what if we're outside?

I want to do it.

Don't talk back to me.

You used to sing, too!

You left mom to go sing in Seoul!

I don't need this! I'm going back there!

Hey! Stop right there!

Who said that? Who told you?

Who told you all that?

I heard it in my mom's womb!

You want to die?

Fine! Do as you want!

Go sing all you want, go walk to DMZ all you want...

you can go up the stupid mountains for all I care!

Just my luck to get stuck with an idiot!

I heard it in the womb!

I heard it in my mom's womb!

Just give me three days.

Will that be enough? Just take three years off!

- Stop worrying about it. - I'll come back tomorrow then.

- I'll go to work tomorrow, sir. - No, you don't have to.

Forget it! I've already found someone else!

Hello? Sir! Hello?

Vacancy

Ja-Ok... Oh my sweet Ja-Ok...

Screw it...

I'm doing nothing wrong.

Sir, sir!

Yeah, what?

Can you turn it down?

How much did you pay for the tape?

three dollars?

Can I see it?

You got totally screwed over!

This crap for three dollars?

- I can't believe it. - Hey, look at the rain!

Can you make it to Seoul by tonight?

Who'd have thought l'd see you here?

Sir! Sir!

You were dozing off, weren't you?

No.

So why are you driving like this?

You crossed the yellow line!

Pull over!

Jesus!

Are you drunk?

Sir!

You were drinking!

I just had a drink at dinner...

You're driving drunk with a passenger in your car?

Sorry about that.

You're sorry?

Will you be sorry if we get into an accident?

What if I died?

Are you? Are you dead?

If you die, I'll die, too!

I'm sitting in the car, too!

Have we gotten into an accident? Have we?

What did you say?

Get out if you want to!

I don't want an untrusting passenger, either!

Will it go away if we sing hard enough?

Will we be loved if we love first?

Will we succeed if we're rich enough?

Can we speed if our car's good enough?

Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up and listen to me!

We must continue!

We can't become fools!

Life goes on!

I must be nuts. I'm going to die out here.

- Just this. - $2.60

Just the ramens.

- Just the ramens, please. - $2.60

Put these back, kid.

You don't want any, right?

Wow, this is really good!

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Who's calling?

Chun Mi-Yun?

You're Mi-Yun, right?

Look, who the hell is this kid?

Hello?

Hello? Hello.

Hey, there you are!

What are you wearing?

They want me to take the shift again.

Is it raining still?

I think so.

Feel like a drink?

Wow, great!

Hey, you!

Hey! Stop right there!

Oh, damn my head!

You all right?

Are you going to quit?

I already talked to him.

Are you out of your mind?

I was going to quit anyway.

Tell him to send my money to my account by tomorrow.

If he says he's not sending it...

I'm telling the cops.

Are you crazy?

If you do that, you and l will get hauled in too!

Don't start on me.

What start?

- look... - What?

Can you lend me $1 00?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad! Where are you?

Dad!

Dad!

I told you not to call me that.

Come on.

Cheers!

What a lucky coincidence!

I thought I'd never see you...

Dad! I'm all done here!

Dad? Who's that?

Uh... he's a cousin...

A sixth cousin or something... He keeps calling me dad.

Go give the dishes to that lady. Rinse it off first.

- Are you sure you're cousins? - You two look like each other.

I guess everything is your treat Let me treat you too

Is there a store around?

It's okay. This is enough.

Go in and rest.

I'm okay.

You gotta have fruit when you're having beer, right?

Who's that?

Who the heck are you?

Thief! Stop!

Stop right there!

Why is watermelon so expensive here?

What's with your clothes, uncle?

Oh, I think I tripped and fell because... it's dark out.

I mean, I fell before, and I tripped, so...

my back is so...

Did you steal it from the field?

No! I bought it...!

Give it here. I'll slice it for you.

Can we get some mugs?

Why did you steal it?

You made a fool out of your dad...

What should I do now? I got fired from work...

Look, I'm going back to Seoul and getting a DNA...

His dad's talking to him, but he's snoring on me...

hello...

Young man! Do you know how to drive?

So where should I go at the intersection?

Just go straight! Straight!

Just hold tight a bit longer.

It's too early!

It's too early for my grandson to be born!

We're having a baby!

Excuse me? Anyone there?

Where's the husband?

He's on his way.

So what can we do? The place is closed!

Anyone there?

Let's go downtown! Just keep going!

- How far is it? - Just straight from here!

Anyone there?

Would you look at him?

Would you look at him?

Uncle? Let's go...

- What time you getting off work? - Go over there.

The kid uses the restroom every 20 minutes.

So don't say that he's just got a flu...

Write down that he's really sick or something.

So he'll stay put on his own.

It's been a while since I've seen an uncle with his nephew.

Oh... yeah...

Your nephew's very sick.

I knew it.

Just get us the medicine.

He just needs to be more careful, right?

Like... stop tiring himself out...

Don't overexert himself...

Don't get too much sunlight...

Can you write that all down?

And maybe you can tell him to watch it from now.

And he told me not to tell you this, but...

Don't tell him I told you.

Told me what?

There should be a hospital near his old orphanage.

Maybe you can go there.

Or go visit a bigger hospital in Seoul.

An orphanage?

He said he used to stay there.

There's a slight problem.

It's too protruded here.

Although...

Try this.

Hey, look! Doesn't this look like someone?

Ryu Seung-Beom!

It's just like him!

No, no, no. It's just kidding.

You just killing me.

Where's the sauce? Can I have the sauce?

Sauce...

You're in charge of the schedule. What happened there?

You know, you should...

It's totally different, you know.

You're the producer, right?

- Uh... yeah. - Remember the trek to DMZ?

I was with this small kid Remember? The kid?

Oh... right. Yeah.

I'm so sorry to bother you.

If I'm not interrupting...

So nice to meet you.

Can't you guys do it right?

Have a drink.

Have a drink.

Actually, we were... um...

Hey, I just... just...

You've got a long trip ahead. You must be tired.

I just wanted to buy you guys a drink.

These guys can't drink.

I just wanted to treat you. So if you could just...

I can't drink.

Look...

You disrespectful prick!

What's wrong?

Producer?

What's great about that?

Does that mean you can just ignore my good intentions?

Okay... sit down.

Sit down, sir. You're drunk.

I'm not drunk! I mean, how can you...?

Where's our order?

This guy's crazy!

Take a seat!

Don't touch me!

Life is like that...

Don't you have a son?

- Don't you have a son? - What about my son?

Your son... your kid...

You stupid drunk!

- You're the same! - What the fucking crazy.

If you've got a kid, then you've got to be responsible!

You want me to leave?

You're talking down to me?

Come outside a minute.

You and me, outside!

What, you want to hit me? Go ahead!

- Hands off! - Don't do that.

Look... we're at the hospital now... There's something wrong...

They want the kid's guardian...

I have to reach you!

Please... call me when you hear this...

Detector Kang gave me the heads up.

After all the money I gave him...

he couldn't even let us know very far in advance.

I saved nothing.

And that boss of ours took off to China.

What about my salary?

Didn't you hear what I just said?

The jerk took off to China!

Look...

First, get the down payment from my studio.

And leave my stuff with the moving guys.

The number you gave me... I think it's the right one.

But she's not answering.

Can you use a GPS or something to track her down?

If you just get me the basic area, I'll look for her myself.

Damn it's hot!

Please?

Fine, fine! Fine! How much?

- How much? - $3

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Damn!

Hello?

Chun Mi-Yun?

You're Mi-Yun, right?

All right.

How's your work?

Are you eating well?

The weather's so finicky...

Business is just so...

I'm sorry. I'll hang up now.

Uh... by the way... If you have any extra cash about...

It's called neuroblastoma.

It's a relatively common kind of cancer in children.

Cancer? Like liver cancer, or lung cancer?

He's already in the last stages.

The kid even knows about his sickness.

When did you get here, uncle?

We can go home now.

The doctor said I just have to take it easy.

Last night, the old lady brought us our things.

So we can head out now.

Dad, what's wrong?

We have to sign the forms, so come out with our stuff.

Goodbye.

All right, take care, okay? Say bye.

You should say good bye to him?

Bye, crybaby!

Good bye to him.

Uncle!

We wasted too much time.

Uncle, Should we grab something to eat first?

You've got cancer!

I'll get treated as soon as this trip is over.

We promised, remember? Man to man.

After this is over, I'll do anything you ask.

Promise.

Hurry!

Get in!

Come on. Get inside.

Mister!

If you go straight, there's a place called Kyodong.

Take us to the city terminal.

I bet you never ate this in the orphanage.

Once you're hospitalized, you can't eat these.

Enjoy it while you can. Hurry.

Will you please eat now?

You need the strength if you want to walk more.

We're leaving right after we eat, right?

This isn't even that good.

My mom cooks better.

The mom who left you at the orphanage?

You left her a letter?

If I told you all this, you wouldn't have come.

You sought me out for revenge, right?

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear ln-Kwon. Happy birthday to you!

Blow them out!

Hurry up!

Okay, now... your third birthday!

Happy birthday dear ln-Kwon. appy birthday to you!

Blow!

Next... your fourth birthday!

Oh, why were you born!

Happy birthday dear ln-Kwon!

Oh, why were you born!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear ln-Kwon! Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

What the heck is this? I don't want to do it!

We still got four more till your ninth birthday!

When's your birthday?

I can't believe you're doing this without knowing your birthday!

I never wanted this!

Hey!

You said we'd leave soon after!

What's all this?

I'm just trying to be the dad you never had!

We wasted enough time at the hospital.

What the hell do you take me for?

You think I'm falling for that again?

I'm not stupid I'm not doing that again!

Then I'll do it myself!

Your wish...

It won't come true with this stupid trip!

You idiot!

Do you want to die? It's damn hot out!

Stop pissing me off and come here.

Chun ln-Kwon!

I'm going back to Seoul!

Hey! Where you going?

Isn't it this way?

We have to start from there.

What does it matter?

If we start over there and my wish doesn't come true...

will you be responsible?

Then since it's your wish, you can start there yourself.

- Give me the bag. - Why?

- I need something from it. - Just take it out.

- Just give it to me! - No!

Give me the bag!

My back feels cold!

After the sunrise... the sunset comes...

- Do you take credit cards? - No.

How much is it?

$5.20.

Can I just have it for $5?

You're maxed out.

Just try it one more time.

This is the eighth time, sir.

Look, I've got a kid...

I'll go to the ATM tomorrow, so please...

Let's go.

You stay outside.

What are you afraid of, huh?

Am I going to steal the room or something?

What's wrong with you?

I'm an outcast!

I'm going to the sea now!

Taking a net with me, get myself a few fishes!

I'm just a sorry cat!

I'm a light, dancing pretty...

illuminating the sorry city!

I'm just a sorry cat!

And I'm hoping for the day I see...

The day I see the deep blue sea!

Such a deep blue sea,

You're sinking down

A bottomless abyss...

I'm going to the sea now!

Taking a net with me, get myself a few fishes!

I'm just a sorry cat!

I'm a light, dancing pretty...

illuminating the sorry city!

Got any change?

Thank you.

I'm just a sorry cat!

And I'm hoping for the day I see...

The day I see the deep blue sea!

What kind?

Shin ramen!

How much?

$2.1 0.

$1.50.

Just give me these. Here's $2.1 0.

I'm trying to leave enough for the room!

Where'd you get that?

Did you take it out of the hat?

I told you not to steal!

Sheesh! We'll take all of this.

You've got quite a few tricks. Where'd you borrow all those?

From the girls next door.

Next door?

They didn't even open the door when I knocked.

They didn't?

You're okay, and I'm not, huh?

You made all the money, so I'll cook the ramens.

Bring that over here.

And turn on the burner.

Okay...

You know how to cook ramens?

Some people toss it in when the water's still cold.

Of course that's no good.

The noodles will get too fat!

Gotta stick it in when the water's boiling!

Some put in the flavoring first!

But that's weird!

While the noodles are cooking, we get the eggs and leeks!

They're not required of course!

But you'll be missing out!

Chop up the leeks!

Put the lid on and wait!

Crack the eggs, nice and clean!

Put the lid on and wait!

Chopped leeks, and cracked eggs

Are you singing or rapping?

Both...

You just made that up, right?

No.

I wrote it two years ago.

It was a huge hit.

Chopped leeks, and cracked eggs!

I'll do the leeks, dad will do the eggs!

Chopped leeks...

What?

Say the next verse.

Why should I do that?

Try it!

Please?

And a cracked egg!

Not egg! It's cracked eggs!

Try it again.

Chopped leeks...

and cracked eggs!

I can't believe this.

Chopped leeks!

and cracked eggs!

- Chopped leeks! - and cracked eggs!

- Chopped leeks! - That's all there is?

Chopped leeks and cracked eggs!

Fine.

I'll tell you the rest.

Chopped leeks, and cracked eggs!

Have too much and you'll get a bellyache!

Have way too much and you'll end up in the emergency room!

That's what my mom said!

- Hey. - What?

It's so good!

I know.

Eat it with kimchi.

Are you asleep?

No.

In-Kwon...

Did your mom tell you to go to the orphanage?

Why didn't you say no?

That's a place for kids with no parents.

You've got a mom! And you've got a da...om!

You should have said no.

You should have clung onto her pant leg or something.

Why did you say yes to going there?

How could she send you there anyway?

When did you go to the orphanage?

Last year.

So did she come back for you? Your mom?

She said she'd be back on my ninth birthday.

But...?

She never came.

When's your birthday?

It's past already.

How did you know where I was?

In-kwon?

Why do you always fake sleeping when I ask you these questions?

In-Kwon?

Are you in there?

Are you taking a dump?

Why am I so thirsty?

Hey, I just dreamt that I was this really rich millionaire.

You want to help me make some money?

After we get you treated...

we can go around the country...

If we just do what we did today, we'll rake in the money!

Let's get ourselves a car!

A Peugeot...

How does that sound?

No wait. A Porsche is better.

I guess a Peugeot will be better for the two of us...

And we can move, too!

To a rich neighborhood...

Get him some strong medicine.

I'm talking real bitter.

I'm not the sick one, so...

Can you make him live just a bit longer?

It's okay if he loses his arms or his brain even

Well... the boy's too far along down the road, so...

What if we forget about getting treatment?

That would actually be better for the boy...

So how long does he have left?

Two, three months at most.

Three months at most?

That's it? Even with your best medicine?

This isn't right...

If we do pursue treatment, he'll find it very hard.

Besides, all it does is slow the process...

You should make the decision.

The line is off at the moment, so...

I bought the $2.1 0 tickets!

How much did you put in?

Fifty bucks.

- That means you'll win $1 0,000! - Oh yeah!

Wow! Spread the wealth!

This isn't even my money...

Why isn't this bastard picking up?

I was calling...

Where's my money?

Where's my down payment?

Uh...

Fine. Don't worry. It's here.

Come here.

Where's my money? Where is it, bastard!

You know what that money is?

You know what it means to me?

Stop it, you jerk! It's here!

Where is it!? It's not here!

That was my money!

You know what that money means?!

Come on, fuck!

Look! Look you piece of garbage! Look at how much it is!

Your room? Damn, it's worth more than that!

What was I supposed to do?

The boss took off.

The creditors knew about your down payment...

I had no way to repay it.

I took out my own down payment. To get you your money back.

Yeah, real proud of you.

I mean...

do I look like a guy who'd steal my friend's money?

This is $500, right?

This is the money I borrowed.

Take it. Your kid's in the hospital.

Just give me $100.

See, there's always a way out.

Who knew I'd hit the jackpot?

If you hadn't, I would have killed you.

Oh, right!

- I got the address! - What address?

I traced the number.

That's not her name.

She could be using a fake one.

No, she couldn't.

When will she be back?

No idea.

This is the right place...

How long have you lived here?

Me? About a month.

And your friend has been here longer?

Quite a while.

What does she look like? How tall is she?

About... this much taller?

How much is that?

It's not her.

She's short. Like five feet two.

Stop right there!

Hey!

Open the door!

No!

You can't cut my hair!

In-Kwon...?

Okay, we won't cut your hair today.

Let's just give you your shot, okay?

- Where's my kid? - No!

In here.

Get out of here!

We need to cut his hair.

- But he ran off. - Go!

Move aside. Move.

Get away from me!

Come out!

In-Kwon!

Just go.

I'll take him to the barber and shave it off myself.

Just go...

Come out here right now!

Change.

Sit!

You and your mother are both so stubborn.

Mom said I'm nothing like her.

Are you sure you won't regret this?

You're not feeling sick?

No.

Whatever. You practically breathe pain-killers.

I shouldn't have told you that I know.

I should have left you to do whatever you want.

My face came out this big on TV!

You were way off in the corner.

That was only in the preview.

It's not like you got paid Did you get paid?

If my friends saw it, I would have been a star.

Would they have seen it?

Let's do it. I said I'll do it!

You stopped bathing, just to look poor and needy, didn't you?

Mom must have seen it...

You're really testing my patience...

Sorry for what?

I'm so sorry.

- Get out of here. - I'm so sorry.

I made a big mistake...

I'm so sorry.

But we didn't get any shots! How are we supposed to air it?

The editing's all over now.

- Take him away. - Sir...

The broadcasting is not what everybody can do, you know.

Please have mercy on my poor boy, Mr. Producer sir.

Please, sir...

After the sunrise... the sunset comes...

The moon comes up... and the sun returns...

Please let the sign show...

That we're looking for her Just tell them about it.

Thank you.

- Thank you so much! - Thank you!

Kid...

Don't do anymore duets with your dad. It's your loss.

Bye!

Goodbye!

Should we go, too?

Get in!

I'm okay...

Never mind then.

Fine! I'm getting in!

What a cheapskate...

Men must regard promises more dearly than their lives.

What?

Nothing, sir. You can go now, sir.

That's the way!

Now you're talking straight!

That's how you're supposed to talk to adults!

Okay, let's go!

Are you crapping on land?

Get the hell out!

I had to go really bad.

Dad!

Why do thingies get hard?

Because you have to pee.

What if you don't have to go?

That happens sometimes.

My thingy gets hard sometimes when I don't need to go.

Why are we here?

I think we took a wrong turn.

We should have taken route 26 instead of route 27.

Drat...

I'm fine.

I wanted to check out the sea anyway.

We saw it when started our trip.

I mean... Just one last time.

Isn't that so soft?

Why are you so late?

- Your ramen is ready! - Okay!

You said same thing the other day...

Yes, I did 'cause it was the best at that time but it's much more better now.

- Ramen is here. - Oh, thanks.

But then it's made in China, isn't it?

What the hell are you talking?

Stuff like that is made in China? No way!

Your skin is not like that by nature.

You're getting better because of me, you should know.

In-Kwon is really sick right now.

In-Kwon and I have a lot of things to tell you...

In-Kwon believes God will make his wish come true with this trip.

He believes he will one day meet his mother.

I want to see what you've taken.

We prayed that ln-Kwon will finish the trip in good health...

and that he will be reunited with his mother.

And then she smiled.

Even surgery couldn't make dimples that pretty.

She was really beautiful...

- That's it? - Yeah.

You liked my mom because... of a dimple?

Yep.

I know you! I saw you on TV!

Eat this and cheer up!

- Take care! - Thank you.

Dad! Let's run, too!

You want to?

Okay!

Dad! Dad...!

Are you okay, ln-Kwon?

Yeah, I'm okay. How about you, dad?

I'm okay. I'm so sorry.

No, I'm okay.

Well, we have to interview ln-Kwon too, so...

Why was this over there?

I mean, we're in a position where we have to interview him.

Why don't you join us?

Really?

Call me later.

No, no...

I think its best we scout all the roads from Samsong...

You agree?

That's the best way.

Let's get started then.

Let's go!

I just wanted to see how that tasted.

Eat your own!

I just wanted to see how that tasted.

That's way better.

It's getting chilly. Right?

Eat slowly.

Drink this with it.

I told you to eat it slowly! Why are you wasting food?

Are you okay?

Eat it slow.

Can't swallow?

What is this...

Blood?

- You're him! - What?

- Can I get your autograph? - What?

An autograph.

I can't live with this.

People just go to beauty salons nowadays.

How the heck am I supposed to make a living?

Hey! Step away!

Thank you for all your concern.

No problem.

He must be really tired.

Kid, you have to fight for us. Fight harder.

What's this?

It's your performance fees.

Actually, we were...

This is all part of our expenses.

Thank you so much.

Actually, we have you to thank.

When will we be on TV?

Um... maybe this week? Or next week?

Sir, I don't know if I should ask this, but...

I saw that your cellphone is the same kind as mine.

I'm out of batteries right now...

So I can't take any calls.

Would it be okay if we switched batteries?

Of course.

And I have one more favor to ask...

I'm feeling like an Olympic gold medallist here...

Ah... see what you're saying.

I walked a few hours alongside them...

It was really hard. The father guy is pretty awesome.

I'm going to rejoin them after dinner.

I'm going all the way!

- Let's go! - Don't lose hope!

Uh...

Should I do it again?

Okay, that's a wrap.

Hey!

You didn't bring all that stuff we got, right?

What?

Damn! I left it in the car!

You stay here and don't move, okay?

Where you going?

Getting those drinks and rice rolls we got...!

You! You...

Get your ass over here!

Piece of garbage!

You think you're some kind of hero? Do you?

- Who are you? - Who am l? Who am l?

Who am l?

I've done everything to get my hands on you!

Who...?

I'm Jin-Young's brother!

That's right!

Get up!

I am terribly sorry.

I bet you are.

You wouldn't be human if you weren't!

Bastard!

Lousy piece of garbage!

My Jin-Young...

My sister...!

She never even got to see her parents' faces, even once!

She's a poor girl...

And...

I've never laid a finger on her, even once!

But I had to do it!

I had to give her a beating!

She was so scared...

You know where I had to go with her? Do you?

What are you going to do?

What about my poor sister!

Dad?

Dad, where are you?

I'm here...

What are you doing there?

Stop! Stop! Don't come any closer!

Why?

I'm... taking a dump!

I've got diarrhea, so... My stomach's really hurting.

Really?

So you're doing that right there on the street?

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Why?

I don't want anyone to see!

Go be the lookout. See if anyone's coming.

All right then. Go number two!

That's my medicine.

Huh? Yeah...

Why are you eating that?

I didn't.

Actually, I mistook it for vitamins before, and I liked it.

Let me just have one.

Are you tired?

No.

You're lying. This is tiring you out.

Hey, I'm an all-powerful he-man. You know that?

Should we stop?

Stop what?

I want to stop this now.

Are you kidding me?

So why didn't you say so sooner? We're almost done!

Why do you always make decisions on your own?

Hell no I'm not quitting!

- Dad! - Huh? What?

Wait.

Why? You need to go?

This right here... Haha...

It's really great!

Feel better now?

You bet! Why didn't we think of this sooner?

- Dad! - Yeah?

I'm sorry.

About what?

Because this is all I can do for you.

Then push harder.

Okay!

Yeah! Woohoo!

Faster!

First gear!

Second gear!

Third gear!

That's fast enough!

Wait! Brake! Brake!

In-Kwon...

Hey... get up!

Hey, snap out of it!

Oh no...

In-Kwon!

Hey, snap out of it!

Dad... I'm fine.

Are you?

Get up then.

Get me my medicine.

Okay. I'll get that for you.

Why did you do that?

You've scraped yourself.

Just fight till the end.

Just a bit more. We're almost there.

Hey, let's get up.

Cars might think we're a couple of cats and run over us.

My name's Kim Jae-Hee. I used to live with Mi-Yun.

I couldn't reach you, so... this is my last resort.

I heard you came asking for me the other day.

I had been keeping Mi-Yun's phone.

I'm sorry I didn't answer your calls.

To be honest... Mi-Yun asked me a favor...

Actually...

She's...

She's no longer with us.

Last year, she was diagnosed with lung cancer.

She died this summer.

Before she died...

She was already outcast from her family.

She could barely breathe,

and her little boy was also sick.

So... she had to send him to a nursery school, and...

Not long after that...

She talked of the boy's father.

She mentioned he loved music.

She said she didn't want to burden you with the child.

I thought she was being foolish, so I dragged her to your house...

but she could never face you. She always turned back.

Right before she died...

She asked me to watch ove her boy.

She wanted him to forget about his mother, and grow up well.

She also... said she was sorry.

She was sorry.

Dad...

Dad, why are you crying?

She told me to let him see you if something happened to him.

That's why l...

I'm sorry.

Why?

Why did you do this?

Let's quit now.

I'm really tired...

Quit what?

Quit what?

So why did you come here?

Why did you have to come to me?

I'm sorry, dad...

I'm sorry...

Why?

Why are you sorry?

Why should you be?

Why?

Come here.

Come here...

Closer, Here.

I just talked to your mom.

She said she's leaving us to get married.

She wants me to keep you.

So... you have to live with me now.

That means I'll kill you if you ever get sick again!

I'm sorry, dad...

Why should you be...?

- Tired? - No.

I can walk...

Forget it.

I saw mom in my dream a while ago.

You did?

She never did that before, even though I tried hard.

Was she pretty?

Yeah. Real pretty.

I've got a lot to tell her.

About my friends...

About coming here with you...

You hated me, didn't you?

Yeah...

I hated you every day before I met you.

But I forgot all that now.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You lost your job and all your money because of me.

I was nothing but a burden.

I'm so sorry...

Did you miss your mom?

Yeah! A whole lot.

Did you miss me also?

I did.

A whole lot...

When you do see her...

Don't tell her about me meeting those other girls.

I'm not a kid!

Oh!

I have a confession to make.

What is it?

- I'm not really your son! - Then...?

My real name's Jon. Jon Bonjovi.

I just changed it because it sounded tacky.

And I'm not your real dad, either!

I'm not really Lee Dae-Kyu.

My name's Bob Dylan.

I can see the end now.

What should we do when we get there?

Have some fried chicken and a cold beer?

What?

That's what you want, isn't it?

Bingo!

You're quite smart.

Then what about after that?

Maybe... a sauna?

Sounds good.

I just thought of something else I can do for you.

What is it?

I'll scrub your back for you when we get to the sauna.

I bet it's all dirty because of me.

That's so sweet I could cry.

2 months ago

- ln-Kwon? - Huh?

I'm going to use the ladies' room, okay?

Okay...

Ma'am?

Yeah, what is it?

Can you get me my underwear?

Where is it?

- It's hung next to the window. - Okay.

Bye, ln-Kwon!

- Come visit again! - Bye!

This car's really nice!

Hey... it's mom!
