Did you have a good meal, sir? Did you have a good meal, sir?

Give me some blanket, sir.

Fuck,take it all then.

- Hey! Bring me some slippers... - Yes, sir!

Hey, newbie!

- PV2 (private) Lee Seung-young, sir. - So fuckin' laid back.

You a general or something? You know who I am?

- I'm not sure, sir. - Man,then your life here is over!

Where do you live?

- In Seoul, sir. - Shit, is all of Seoul your home,huh?

Nearby Konkuk University, sir.

- Konkuk... then near the red district? - Yes, sir...

- How old are you? - I was born in 1979, sir.

You're fuckin' old, man. I'm the same age.

What took you so long to enlist?

- I was in school, sir. - School? Where?

Yonsei University, sir.

Yonsei... Dude, you're fuckin' smart. Gotta girlfriend?

- No, sir. - Know any girls then?

At school, you must know a lot, right?

- They're just friends, sir. - Fuck it, friends don't have pussies?

Spit it out then. I'll help you out so tell me what's on your mind.

No, I'm fine, sir.

- How long since you've made corporal? - Three months, sir.

If it's been 3 months, shouldn't you be managing your guys by now?

Yes, sir.

- What's gonna happen in the future? - I'll do a good job, sir!

Get up.

How many blows do you want?

As many as you give, sir.

Down on the floor.

Get up.

- Dae-suk. - CPL (Corporal) Shim Dae-suk, sir.

Your time here is almost up now. You know?

Why do you think I do this? Have you thought about it?

It's because I trust you. Understand?

Yes, sir.

SGT (Sergeant) Yoo Tae-jung the new private's here, sir.

- Bring him to the field. - Yes, sir.

Do a better job, okay? I'll be watching you.

Yes, sir.

Did that hurt?

No, sir.

- Wash up and go. - Yes, sir.

- You must be happy, sir. - Why?

- Another assistant for you, sir. - Smartass. Get outta here.

Yes, sir. Salute!

Come on,how can you not know a single girl,huh?

No one pretty, sir, really.

Dammit, I decide if she's pretty or not. That's my job. Not yours.

Give me their numbers. I'll take it from there.

I really don't know any.

Fuck, you looking down on me cause you're a college man?

Damn, I knew I should've gone to college.

Um, sergeant, SGT Yoo Tae-jung's asked for the new private.

Man, can you see? Is it all dark? You blind?

- Sorry, sir. - We're talking here...

- But SGT Yoo Tae-jung... - Yeah, Yoo Tae-jung, so what?

- Sorry, sir. He asked to see him, sir. - Alright.

You know who Yoo Tae-jung is?

He's your boss. You're screwed now. Man,the dude's vicious. The devil.

You're fucked. You're a dead man. Got it? Go...

- Hey, take him already. - Yes, sir.

Kids these days so fuckin' laid back.

- Hey, bring some tissue. - Yes, sir.

- Sergeant,the new private, sir. - Yeah, okay.

- Hey, newbie! - PV2 Lee Seung-young, sir!

Watcha do before you got here?

I attended college, sir.

Man, check out his tone, will you? What, no salute for your superior?

Salute!

Yeah, whatever...

- Hey, Yong-il. - PV1 (Private 1st Class) Sohn Yong-il!

- Go back to the barracks. - Yes, sir.

Hey, Seung-young...

It's me, Tae-jung.

It's nothing much really.

At first, it's fuckin' hell. But after awhile, it's bearable.

Yes, sir.

What's with the sir? Relax.

Hey, I was meaning to call you but I had no way of getting in touch.

- Is your mother well? - Yes, she's well, sir.

Enough with the sir already. Why, is it weird?

Yeah, a little.

Um, I have a question.

Can I listen to music on my own in the barracks, like during break?

Sure,try it. You'll be marked till the day you leave.

Then reading and stuff when can I start doing that?

Seung-young.

Just do as you're told at first.

Eat when they tell you sleep, shit, when they say to.

That's all you need to be good at.

And don't ever tell anyone we went to junior high together.

Cause... it'll just be harder for you.

Okay.

And at first, don't talk too much.

Speak only when you're spoken to. "Yes, sir!" is all you need to say.

- Okay? - Yeah, okay.

Dude, you're so tense. This isn't like you.

- I'm not tense. - Yeah, you are.

Loosen up. It'll be okay. This bro's looking out for you.

- Hello? - Hello?

- Is this Tae-jung's phone? - Who's this?

- Um, is this Yoo Tae-jung's phone? - Who is this, please?

Tae-jung! It's me, Seung-young.

- Hey, Seung-young. - It is you. I wasn't sure.

Wow, it's been ages, man. Are you out on leave?

Yeah. Um... where are you right now?

Uh, I'm on my way somewhere...

What are you doing tonight? Are you busy?

Oh, you know. Why, what's up?

If you're free, you wanna get a drink?

Sure,that'd be nice.

I'd like to see you before I go back. I've got something to tell you,too.

Yeah, we should catch up. I'd like to see you, man.

- Okay, I'll go to you. Where are you? - Right now?

Yeah, well, I gotta go home right now.

I didn't go home last night so I told my folks I'm on my way in.

Can't you spare a little time?

Don't you have any plans tonight?

You're out on leave you should get laid or something.

Then should I go to your house? I won't keep you long.

Well,today's not...

Where are you right now?

(Danger: High Voltage)

Hey! Been waiting long?

Wow, you look like a real soldier now. How long has it been?

You'll make sergeant soon, right? Man,time sure flies.

You've changed a lot. A moustache and everything.

Hey, you're impossible to reach. What is it you do?

Oh, I work at a little Ad agency. Hey, did you eat yet?

Name it all, what you wanna eat. It's my treat. Let's go.

Now,the spit shine.

The right mix of water and oil that's what's important, okay?

First, spray some water on the boots.

Next, spread the oil and rub it all over like this.

Why do you think?

- I don't know. - Are you really a college student?

What's the relationship between water and oil?

- The two don't mix. - Exactly. That's why it shines.

Why?

Cause they don't mix.

What does them not mixing have to do with the shine?

Since they don't mix they work hard not to mix

and so there's heat which is why it shines.

In any case, spray the water and keep rubbing the polish like this

and you'll have the spit shine or whatever.

Is this really necessary? It just needs to be clean, right?

Would the battalion commander even know?

Let's say you're the battalion commander.

The other battalion commanders' boots are fuckin' spotless but yours aren't.

How would you feel?

Wouldn't you feel bad?

Why would I? It's thinking that way that's dumb.

I really don't get the army.

Like slippers in the barracks just go and get them yourself.

Why order someone else to?

In the organization that is the army, such trivial matters are important.

They fetched slippers at first,too. You think you won't be like that,too?

Why would I be?

I'm going to treat my juniors nicely. I won't be like that even as sergeant.

That's just an excuse.

So fuckin' laid back.

Man, at this rank, I'm supervising cleaning the can

while someone gets to sit in the office and drink coffee. Shit~

- Hey, get him a coffee. - Yes, sir.

The army's fucked up these days don't you think?

What's so fucked up now, sir?

This morning, a bastard with no rank talked back to SGT Jo Soo-bong.

The dude's so fuckin' nice he's soft.

- Who was it? - A fuckin' punk.

- Fuck's about all you say. - What?

- Nothing, sir. - Sergeant, your coffee, sir.

- Hey, Lee Seung-young! - PV2 Lee Seung-young, sir.

Do you think that's right?

Answer me! Is it right?

Well, SGT Jo Soo-bong was wrong, sir.

So you talk back to a senior?

A sergeant can try on a private's underwear if he wants.

What's the big deal?

Come to think of it you talking back to me now?

Hey, Lee Seung-young! Did you really do that?

Yoo Tae-jung! It's because you're soft on him that he acts up.

Bastard. You have no respect, do you?

Follow me.

Set him straight, will ya? Set him straight.

Why'd you talk back to him in there? All you had to do was apologize.

I didn't do anything wrong. Why apologize?

Then you think I go around saying "I'm sorry" cause I'm wrong?

It just makes army life easier.

And Ma Soo-dong he's kinda simple but he's okay.

Apologize and he lets it go. He doesn't hold grudges.

Well then, no one's a bad guy.

Hey, Seung-young.

If he gives you shit again just think 'there he goes again.'

Why talk back,huh? You just make your life miserable.

Alright. I won't do it again.

Yeah, let's go in.

Hey, is he still stealing privates' underwear?

- Hey, can't you just come already? - I don't want to. It's too far.

What do you mean? It's only 10 minutes by subway.

You said you were going home before. And that place is too noisy and busy.

That's every place in Seoul. It's only the regulars so it's quiet.

Just meet him on your own. What would I do there?

We get to see each other.

Don't you want to see me?

You're just going to drink anyway.

Nah,he's gonna go home early.

We drink a little with him and then we'll be alone.

You really won't drink a lot?

- Promise? - Okay. I promise. Hurry up and come.

Isn't this place weird? It's like the 80s.

- It's not bad. - Yeah?

- Hey, you love your uniform that much? - Why?

Why wear it out on leave? It's so hot.

It's too much trouble to change.

Just seeing a uniform these days makes me wanna puke.

Hey, someone's gonna come by. That's okay, right?

Who?

My girlfriend. She keeps saying she wants to come by.

- You have a girlfriend? - Yeah, it's been awhile.

But does she have to come? Can't we just drink, you and me?

Well, she already left a while ago. She should be here any minute.

Don't worry. It'll be the same whether she's here or not.

Besides, she's really nice.

Hey, how are the guys? Hur Ji-hoon,how's he?

Oh, you know.

That dope. He enlisted in Nov, right? So he's Private 1st Class now,huh?

I bet he's still an idiot though.

- Tae-jung. Let's drink up. - Yeah, it's good to see you, man.

The winter exercises it's at least 20 below zero.

Other platoons slept in tents but not our platoon.

We were the first and being role models, we dug holes.

Sleeping in the ground you learn a lot from nature.

Still, our company commander would give us loads of crap.

But we would, especially me

as their leader, would grin and bear it.

That's how I lead my guys.

The food! Just rice and a stinkin' piece of cabbage. When we ate...

Enough about the army. It's boring.

Ji-hae, you lack perseverance.

You need to do some sort of exercise. Like jump rope 200 times a day.

Build up your perseverance.

And Korean, you gotta wait till the end, especially army stories.

That's why the elders say, the Korean language, listen till the end.

I'm going to the bathroom so you two discuss. About the army.

Tell her exactly what my style is. I'm going to the bathroom.

Can I take a picture?

Please don't.

- Why? You're cool. - I said not to.

You don't like pictures?

That's a form of violence,too.

You seem really close to Tae-jung.

Isn't it usually a bit formal even after you're discharged?

How long have you two been going out?

Exactly 96 days today. In four days, it'll be 100 days.

How's my Tae-jung?

What do you mean?

A man's point-of-view is supposedly more accurate.

So how's Tae-jung? From a man's perspective?

What do you think, Ji-hae?

He's manly but unexpectedly gentle,too.

Do you think you know Tae-jung well?

I'm not sure...

Never mind.

The subway will be shutting down soon.

When are you planning to go home?

Excuse me?

I mean if you get home too late don't they worry at home?

I live alone.

What were you guys talking about?

Tae-jung, I'm going to the bathroom.

How long are you going to stay? You're not drinking more, are you?

Let's just stay a little longer.

Then you two stay and drink. I'm going home.

- Now what's up? Stay a little more. - I'm going home.

- Now what? - It's just...

I'm tired.

- Move. I'm going home. - What's really wrong? Huh?

Tell me,the reason you have to leave right now.

Why can't I go?

Do I have to come when you call and stay if you say so?

Ji-hae, you've no reason to act like this way to me.

Stay a bit longer and we'll leave together.

I want to go now.

- You two stay. - So tell me why?

You're just going to keep drinking with him anyway.

No, I'm not.

He's come a long way to see me. It's only been two hours.

So stay with him.

What are you guys doing here?

Ji-hae, go inside for a minute.

Go on.

What's up?

Hey, Seung-young. What are you going to do?

What do you mean?

Um... I'm sorry but I think we're gonna have to call it a night.

Let's go get some soju (rice whisky) somewhere else.

I really want to...

...but I think I need to be with her tonight.

Why?

Did she say something?

I have no idea.

So you're going back tomorrow,huh?

It kinda sucks but let's really get a drink on your next leave.

Tae-jung...

It's just that I really have something important to tell you.

Yeah, I know.

We should talk.

But let's do it next time, okay?

Sorry, Seung-young.

Turn right and go straight. You'll see the subway station.

There's where you need to go.

- See you next time. - Yeah, next time. See ya.

Bye.

SGT Yoo Tae-jung!

This time, block him! You don't and you die!

11 to 12, sir.

- I'll carry that, sir. - Nah, it's okay.

12 to 12, sir.

- Dammit, aren't you going too far? - I'm just blocking, blocking, sir.

Bastard, you're fuckin' entering the danger zone.

Give SGT Ma Soo-bong back the ball.

- Fuckin' block him, will you? Block! - Yes, sir.

You, stupid?

- Hey, Ji-hoon. - PV2 Hur Ji-hoon, sir!

Hey, be quiet. I told you to relax when you're with me.

Yes, sir.

Are you good at sports?

Sports, sir?

I like to watch but I'm not good at them, sir.

If I'm reborn, I want to be an athlete. Maybe soccer or baseball.

Really, sir?

That's a bit surprising, sir.

Why?

You're quite handsome

and you're always reading so I thought you didn't like sports, sir.

Nah, I do. It's just that I'm bad at them.

- You're so lucky. - Why?

Being so good at basketball.

What do you think of Hur Ji-hoon? I think he's alright.

Him?

He seems like a bit of a moron.

You've gotta be strict at first.

Be too lax at first and there's no tightening the screws later.

He's a nice guy.

Nice is not good, dude.

Then what is?

Obedience is the best.

- That's not good,that's being stupid. - You're so weird, man.

Communication Security CP, PV2 Hur Ji-hoon. How may I help you?

You can't help that way. Talk that slow and you're no help.

- Understand? - Yes, sir.

Communication Security CP, SGT Yoo Tae-jung.

- Fast, precise, clear, got it? - Yes, sir.

Nah, I don't think you do.

Hands up.

Hands,hands.

Lift them up.

How many blows?

- One blow, sir. - You think that's enough?

- Do you? Is it enough? - Yes, sir. It's enough, sir.

Okay.

Phone's ringing again. Ji-hoon, phone's ringing.

Communications Security CP, PV2 Hur Ji-hoon. How may I help you?

- I'm the Operations Division officer. - Salute!

The battalion commander's not answering. Where'd he go?

He's not at his seat, sir.

Ji-hoon,he's asking where he went.

- He's at his official residence, sir. - What's the number?

The number to the official residence?

- 9373, sir. - 9373, sir.

It's 9374, 9374.

Didn't I tell you to memorize the numbers? Why didn't you? Huh?

- I did but I forgot for a second, sir. - Bullshit. What'd you do yesterday?

- I memorize numbers all day, sir. - And still, you don't know any of them

- What's the number for the PX? - 6371 , sir.

9371 . Got it?

What the hell did you memorize? Your friends' numbers?

No, sir.

You're a funny one, aren't you? Why are you such an idiot?

Sorry, sir.

You're not gonna make it here. How's an idiot like you to survive?

I have you, sir.

And I feel like throwing up every time I see you.

Ji-hoon, I'm gonna give you one hour. Memorize all these numbers in an hour.

- Okay? - Yes, sir.

I'll re-test you in an hour. You fail and I kill you tonight.

Yes, sir.

- Got it? - Yes, sir.

Man, what are we gonna do with this fuckin' alien,huh?

Report.

Report.

Squad, attention!

- Salute! - Salute.

- Make sure you clean them well. - Yes, sir.

What a stink! Open the window before lights out. Get some air in here.

Open the window.

Like I've warned you, individual hygiene inspections today. Hands out.

- Commence. - Commencing, sir!

- PV1 Class Sohn Yong-il, sir! - Good.

PV1 Lee Seung-young, sir!

Get up and pull down your pants.

Yes, sir.

Pull them down.

What the hell is this?

PV1 Sohn Yong-il, sir!

- Yoo Tae-jung. - SGT Yoo Tae-jung, sir.

- Are non-issued underwear allowed? - I'm sorry, sir.

Where'd you get these?

I was on leave the day before yesterday, sir.

Man, you're driving me nuts.

What a fuckin' mess!

- Hey! - PV1 Sohn Yong-il, sir!

- Sohn Yong-il. - PV1 Sohn Yong-il, sir!

After roll, come to the Main Office in full gear. Got it?

Yes, sir!

- Yoo Tae-jung! - SGT Yoo Tae-jung, sir.

Knowing I was gonna inspect underwear, shouldn't you have checked first?

I'm sorry, sir.

Do a better job managing your men.

Barracks inspection tomorrow so be prepared.

Those on duty, finish your shifts. Roll call finished. Everyone stay put.

- Salute. - Salute!

- Pull up your pants, asshole. - Yes, sir.

Sit.

- Eat up. - I'm okay, sir.

It's okay, eat.

It's okay. You said you wanted ramen, right?

Thank you, sir.

Do you think it's ready, sir?

Yeah, it's done.

- Is it good? - Yes, sir, it is.

Is there anything else you want to do?

I'm fine, sir.

It's alright. You can tell me. I'll make it happen for you.

Could I use the phone, sir?

- The phone? - Yes, sir.

To who?

It's been awhile since I called my girlfriend, sir.

- You have a girlfriend? - Yes, sir.

Okay. Let's do it tomorrow.

Thank you, sir.

- Would you like some, sir? - Nah, I'm good. You eat up.

Hey, didn't I tell you, didn't I?

If they acted up that you're dead, asshole?

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm so fuckin' disappointed in you. Is this the army?

- Should we all be friends? - No, sir.

It's fucked up, right? You saw how Yong-il and Ji-hoon acted today?

I've been telling them, sir.

- They just won't listen, sir. - So? Are you just giving up?

That's not it, sir.

If they don't listen, round them up. Do I have to tell you how,too?

No, sir.

Shim Dae-suk.

CPL Shim Dae-suk, sir.

You've gotten pretty talkative.

- Shape up. It's your last chance. - Yes, sir.

- Can't they be daring about it? - This isn't what we want, right, sir?

Of course not! They should just POW! Shit, I just wasted my eyes on that.

Hey!

Hey!

- Hur Ji-hoon! - PV2 Hur Ji-hoon, sir!

- Come here! - Yes, sir.

Hey, relax. Sit comfortably. Sit.

You were watching TV, weren't you?

No, sir.

You were. I saw you.

I just turned my head and I happened to see the TV, sir.

So you did watch. Seeing is watching. You did watch!

Man,this dude's trouble. Look at him lie.

I'm sorry, sir.

- Hey! - PV2 Hur Ji-hoon, sir!

Who's better looking between us?

- Hey, be truthful now. Truthful. - Truthfully, who's better looking?

- I still got a lot of time left here. - I might just live here.

Lots of time.

- Who's better looking, sir? - You gonna make me repeat myself?

- Who's better looking? - Objectively, be objective.

- Who's better looking? - You both are very different, sir.

Of course, we are. Are we the same, dammit?

Whose individuality's better, huh?

Man,he's fuckin' making me talk. I'm hungry, hurry up and answer.

I think SGT Ma Soo-dong is a tiny bit more handsome, sir.

- Why you bastard~ - Hey, shut up and sit, you fool.

- Oh, aren't you cute? - PV2 Huh Ji-hoon, sir.

Let's watch TV. Let's watch. Come under here.

Come here! Our little sensible one. There, let's watch.

Hey, he's hard,he's hard.

- He's huge. Let me touch it once,huh? - Please don't, sir.

Hey, just once. It's okay, let me see.

- Hey, your senior wants to see it. - Please don't, sir.

Fuck, what's with all the layers?

- SGT Ma Soo-dong, sir. - Ma Soo-dong, what? Don't call me.

Come on, let me see it once!

SGT Ma Soo-dong...

- That's enough, sir. - What?

He says he doesn't want to, sir.

Man, aren't you a fuckin' rude prick?

Can't a senior have a little fun? Huh?

- Your joke's a little extreme, sir. - Fuckin' bastard!

Big college man,talking back, I see?

You got yourself a little helper and now you've lost your mind.

Hey, attention! Attention, dammit! Stand up straight, you dick.

You're really fuckin' rude.

What's going on, sir?

Yoo Tae-jung.

Your men have no fuckin' respect. Why can't you teach them right?

- Now what's happened, sir? - Why don't you tell him?

Go on! Where did all that flippin' macho go?

Why? Won't talk to me, I'm so dumb?

- Fuckin' rude ass bastard. - Why do you hit him now, sir?

Let go. I said, let go!

You, follow me.

- Please stop, sir. - Follow me.

Hey! You wanna die now,too?

Please stop, sir.

What if I don't? Huh? What if I don't?

Please stop, sir.

What if I don't, you bastard?

- Stop it, dammit. - Watch your words. I'm your senior.

Alright, sir. Please stop, sir.

Fuck. Come on, let's go.

Fuck? Why you asshole!

What's going on here?

Seung-young... You've gotta be more careful.

There's a lot of talk about you these days.

It's okay when you're with me. It's okay with me but...

That's fine. I don't care about that.

It's their standards. It's not like I'm wrong.

I'm not saying you're wrong.

Keep this up and it'll only get harder for you.

- What about after I'm discharged? - I'll be okay.

I'm going to change everything once I make sergeant anyway.

That's easy to say.

But it's not as easy as that.

Of course, it won't be easy.

Let's just drop it.

Isn't she pretty, sir?

- Wow, she is. - I think so, sir.

You've been going out about 3 years?

Exactly 3 years and 2 months, sir.

How did you seduce her?

I didn't seduce her, she seduced me, sir.

Really?

I may be like this in here, sir, but on the outside...

Yeah?

I'm a bit of a catch, sir.

If you're ever in Pusan give me a call, sir.

I'll show you a good time, sir. A full course.

Okay. Sure.

- Have you been to Hae-woon-dae, sir? - No.

- Salute! - Salute!

- What are you guys doing here? - Just taking a little break, sir.

- Hey! - PV2 Hur Ji-hoon, sir!

- Go with him to work detail. - Uh, sir.

Ji-hoon has some work left with me, sir.

What?

Some things to finish up with me, sir.

And what's that?

The Senior Staff Sgt. gave us some work to do, sir.

First do this and finish that later.

- What are you waiting for? Take him. - Yes, sir.

Hey, let's go. Hurry up.

- Lee Seung-young. - PV1 Lee Seung-young, sir.

Don't you think you're going overboard these days?

What do you mean, sir?

Are you pulling crap cause Tae-jung's your friend?

Think about it. He's gonna be discharged soon.

What are you gonna do then?

Did I do something wrong, sir?

Of course you did. You fuckin' hell did.

Fuckin' rank-less yet you talk back to your seniors.

Acting all big cause you have a junior

Don't kid yourself. You only have two juniors. You're still a newbie.

Be careful. There are a lot of people waiting for your ass.

It's cause of Tae-jung they let you be not cause they're afraid of you.

Got it?

Let's talk here, sir.

Sorry about the other day.

- I mean, you've earned your rank. - No, sir. I was wrong first.

But that Seung-young he's out of control, isn't he?

I'll give him notice, sir.

Aren't you being too easy on him? Being a buddy of yours?

No, I'm really not, sir.

I thought you put personal stuff aside but I guess I was wrong.

All your juniors are talking, man. That you're soft on the bastard.

If you don't set him straight you don't have a chance with Ji-hoon.

You think he won't act up later?

Don't worry, sir. I'll take care of both of them.

Yeah, you do that. I'm just worried,that's all.

To think that you worry about me. Thank you, sir.

Anyway, sorry about before. After all you and I are in the same boat.

You've done great till now, dude. You're a little strange these days.

Well, set it right. I'll see you later.

- Aren't you cute? - PV2 Hur Ji-hoon, sir.

Hey, don't you miss your girlfriend?

- Yes, a little, sir. - Tell her to visit. With a friend.

They just need to use my name.

- Really, sir? - Yeah, dummy.

- Let's call her later, okay? - Yes, sir.

- We'll call her together, right? - Yes, sir.

- Promise? - Yes, sir.

Even the TV's boring,huh?

Yes, sir.

Is there nothing fun to do?

- Hey, let's see. - Please give it, sir.

- Look it here. Let go! - Please, sir.

Fuckin' let go! I just wanna look...

Hey, Tae-jung! The dope's written you a letter.

I'll read it to you, okay? Listen up.

Dear Tae-jung. Thanks for being so good to me.

Huh? He doesn't even call you sir.

I know you worry about me a lot.

If I've caused you any trouble I'm sorry. But I know what I'm doing.

Exclamation point.

If we don't understand each other, it's cause we're different.

Still, I like you you know that, right?

Dickhead,how do you like him,huh? As a boyfriend?

Man,he's trouble...

- Give it back, sir. - Let go, asshole. Let me see.

- Give it back, sir. - Fuckin' back off, dammit!

- Fucking give it back! - Hey!

- You crazy? - Fuckin'...

Sergeant, I'm sorry, sir. I'll take care of this.

Hey, get me some slippers.

- Get me some slippers now! - Yes, sir!

Yoo Tae-jung...

I've seen it all now.

You said you'd fuckin' take care of him, didn't you?

- I'm sorry, sir. - Dammit.

- Do it right, got it? - Yes, sir.

Fuckin' dickwad.

- Shim Dae-suk. - CPL Shim Dae-suk, sir!

- Is this the army? - Yes, sir!

- Are you a soldier? - Yes, sir!

Bullshit, asshole.

Do you know why we're here right now?

Because I didn't manage my men correctly, sir.

I've been here almost two years.

No matter how much the army's changed

this is the first time I've experienced such fuckin' behavior.

If you go to a top college, does that mean you can't adjust to army life?

What, no respect for your seniors? Illogical, is it?

We're here right now because of one prick.

No matter how dumb he may seem a senior is a senior.

Got it?

- Hey, Lee Seung-young. - PV1 Lee Seung-young, sir.

You fuckin' ass!

You dare to think of acting up against SGT Ma Soo-dong?

He and I've paid enough dues here.

Are you imitating me?

Have you been here that long?

We're here today because of you, dickhead!

- Then just take it out on me, sir. - Fuckin' bastard!

- Hey, Shim Dae-suk! - CPL Shim Dae-suk, sir!

- Did you hear what the prick said? - I'm sorry, sir!

Sure, let's finish this today. You, down on your head.

- Hur Ji-hoon! - PV2 Hur Ji-hoon, sir!

Fuckin' asshole.

Who told you to giggle with your seniors in the barracks like that?

I'm sorry, sir.

Make a sound in the barracks in the future and you're dead man.

Down on your head.

Don't even think of being nice to these two.

I catch you doing that and I'll bury all of you. Got it?

Yes, sir!

Leave.

Leave, you assholes!

Both of you, up.

Both of you, get up.

Hur Ji-hoon, go to the CP room now.

I didn't hear you, sir.

Get to the CP room.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

I had no choice because of the other guys.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm really sorry.

Tae-jung, can we talk for a second? It's kinda urgent...

- Do I smell of booze? - Nah, you smell good.

One sec... One sec...

- I love you. - Me,too.

- Hello? - Hello?

Tae-jung...

- It's me, Seung-young. - Uh, yeah.

I was wondering if I could talk to you for a second.

Sure, go ahead.

No... not on the phone.

Face... to face. If that's okay.

Now?

Now's not a good time.

- Where are you? - Me?

Right in front.

In front? Front of where?

Just... in front. Nearby where you are. Not far.

Seung-young, can't we talk next time? I'm kinda in a difficult position.

Tae-jung...

I feel a little strange right now. Can't you just come out for a little?

Well...

- Please... - It's not a...

Tae-jung.

Right, so what is it? What? Talk quickly. I've gotta get back.

- Sorry to call you so abruptly. - I don't have time. What is it?

I was wondering if you were upset with me for anything.

- No, nothing like that. - If there is,tell me.

- Cause I need to know why, too. - There's nothing. So there is no why!

It's just that, if we part like this

I get the feeling we're never gonna see each other again.

If you keep acting like this

I'm just gonna think you're avoiding me.

I'm going home. You guys talk.

Ji-hae, wait inside a minute. I'll be in real soon.

I'm really sorry. We really do have something important to talk about.

So go and have your important talk.

Hey, Lee Ji-hae! Stop right there.

One,two,hey!

Lee Ji-hae! Stop where you are!

Hey!

- Tae-jung, I'm sorry. - What? Dammit, what?

- Let's go get some soju somewhere. - Soju? Fuckin' soju?

I have enough headaches without you. I'm fuckin' annoyed and damn hot!

Hey, I know what you're getting at. But are you a girl or something?

Why follow after me, pissing me off and being all pathetic?

Go! Get out of here. Fuckin' go!

Hey, don't talk to him like that.

Dude, just keep walking. Go.

- You guys are friends. - Dammit! Just keep walking, shit!

- Shit? Did you say shit? - That's right, shit!

- Why you arrogant ass! - Dammit, what is up with today?

You go,too!

- Hey, do you know who I am? Huh? - No. No, I don't.

K- 1 , do you know that? Huh?

You think this is a joke,huh? Arrogant brat!

Tae-jung... I'm sorry.

How is it that you haven't changed one bit,huh?

Meet anyone from the unit recently?

- Why would I meet with them? Why? - Oh, nothing.

What are you going to do?

- Gonna take a cab? - Huh?

Are you gonna take a cab home?

It's kind of hard for me to go home.

Why?

A cab's gonna cost a lot. I don't have any money right now.

How much does it cost?

About 20,000 won ($20) from here.

How much do you have?

I don't have a cent. The subway's closed,too.

- What about the bus? - There's none from here.

(Motel)

- Hey, Hur Ji-hoon! - PV1 Hur Ji-hoon, sir!

- Who'd you hear this from? - I didn't hear you, sir.

Who'd you learn this from, moron?

My senior, CPL Lee Seung-young taught me, sir.

- Your senior, what? - Ah, CPL Lee Seung-young did, sir.

Hey, you see this? See this? Do you?

Speak up! What a fuckin' idiot! Is this is a joke,huh?

- Hey, Lee Seung-young! - CPL Lee Seung-young, sir!

Haul ass.

Did you teach him right?

- Yes, I taught him correctly, sir. - Fuckin' prick, shut up!

Who said for you to talk,huh? I'll fuckin' smash your teeth in.

- I'm sorry, sir. - Sorry, my ass.

You should take care not to have anything to be sorry for, dickhead.

Teach your assistant right.

Is this how Tae-jung taught you?

Not to fuckin' care if your junior does it right or wrong?

That's why you get no respect even with rank, moron.

Shit, look at the bastard frown.

Hey, is it fucked up?

Why don't you act up again,huh? I'll go to military jail for you.

- Hey! - PV1 Hur Ji-hoon, sir!

Go to the corner and hold your pecker while you reflect, bastard.

Yes, sir.

- Shape up. - Yes, sir.

Shim Dae-suk, bastard, asshole.

Hey, smoke at ease. Relax.

- Jin-gu. - PV2 Jung Jin-gu, sir.

- You smoke? - If you say so, sir.

That's my Jin-gu.

- Hey, Jin-gu. - PV2 Jung Jin-gu, sir.

You've got it made now. Just do as I say.

PV2 Jung Jin-gu, sir.

- Ji-hoon. - PV1 Hur Ji-hoon, sir.

Hey, lower your voice, dickhead.

What's today's code?

PV1 Hur Ji-hoon,today's code is...

Hey, are you trying to screw me?

Who said to say it so loud?

Sorry, sir.

A bit quieter. Again.

PV1 Hur Ji-hoon,today's code, sir...

Hey!

Who said to whisper?

Are we going out or something?

No, sir.

Again.

PV1 Hur Ji-hoon,today's code, sir. The octopus and scabbard fish at...

At what, idiot?

PV1 Hur Ji-hoon,today's code, sir. The octopus and scabbard fish on...

- Ji-hoon. - PV1 Hur Ji-hoon, sir.

- Ji-hoon. - PV1 Hur Ji-hoon, sir.

Something bothering you these days?

No, sir.

Is army life too hard?

No, sir.

Then is army life doable?

Yes, sir.

It's doable?

Seung-young,this balls-for-brains asshole says army life's doable.

The army's gotten damn easy, huh? Fuck!

He's so dumb he only knows 2 things. So fuckin' laid back and he's trouble

I sound just like him, right, sir?

I said not to bring that bastard up didn't I? Not him, alright?

Why do you hit me again, sir? The mood these days sucks.

Look it here, you talking back now?

I think it's finally time that you acknowledge my rank, sir.

How many juniors do you have under you now,huh?

Please acknowledge me now, sir. It's hard for me,too, sir.

Alright, alright. Hey, Sohn Yong-il.

CPL Sohn Yong-il.

- Get me a coke. - Why do you do that, sir?

Get Hyun-woo to do it, Hyun-woo, sir.

- You get it, bastard. - Hyun-woo...

SGT Shim Dae-suk, sir?

What?

Are you a boot size 280, sir?

Yeah, so what?

I have an extra pair of boots, sir. They're too big for me.

- Those? You giving them to me? - Yes, sir. If they fit,take them, sir.

- Really? - Hey, they're pretty cool.

- I can really have these? - Yes, sir.

The battalion commander's got a new batch so there's one left over, sir.

Man, no wonder, the quality's really ace.

- I've never seen those before. - They look new,too.

- Are you really giving me these? - Yes, sir.

- Thanks. I'll wear them well. - Wow, they're really special A grade.

- You're lucky, sir. - Damn straight.

When you're discharged leave them with me, sir.

- Quiet, asshole. - Now why be like that, sir?

- It's not like you're taking them. - I'm gonna wear them out.

- Um, CPL Sohn Yong-il... - Yeah?

- You wear an issue 5, right, sir? - Who? Me?

These are new pants that came in,too, sir.

Are you giving them to me?

Try them and keep them if they fit, sir.

Hey, issue 5 fits me perfectly.

Thanks a lot.

The material's different for the officers.

Seung-young,thanks really. What an unexpected coup.

- It's nothing, sir. - Damn,the colors are awesome!

- There. There. There. Perfect. - Here you go, sir.

I'll take that one.

The coffee and milk mixed together tastes like caf? au lait, sir.

Didn't you know? I used to drink it like that all the time.

It's Starbuck's style. Starbuck's.

- It's not bad, sir. - Right?

- CPL Sohn Yong-il, sir. - Yeah?

Are you still working out, sir?

- Why? Can you tell? - You seem more muscular, sir.

Your upper body seems especially thicker, sir.

Gotta get fit before I'm discharged.

You should work out,too. You're like bone-skinny.

You won't appeal to girls with a body like that outside.

I should start exercising, sir.

Hey, who's Ji-hoon calling all the time?

What do you mean, sir?

I passed by here before and saw him on the phone.

It's different from when SGT Yoo Tae-jung was here.

Who's there to cover your asses in the barracks?

Get Ji-hoon to shape up, will you?

- I'll be going then. - Good-bye, sir. Salute!

Hello, sir.

- Hey. - PV1 Hur Ji-hoon, sir.

Don't I let you make phone calls?

I didn't hear you, sir.

Don't I let you use the phone?

You do, sir.

I told you to tell me when you want to use the phone.

Who'd you call? Your girlfriend again?

Why keep calling someone who wants to break up?

Make a call on your own again and you'll answer to me.

And didn't I tell you not to drink tea in the office when I'm not here?

Why don't you listen?

Of course...

Sweetie, understanding stuff like this makes a sweet wife, right?

Of course...

Yeah, I'm almost home now. I'm gonna go and sleep.

My sweetie needs to sleep,too. Right? Sure.

Yeah.

Sweetie, my sweet, you know what's in your man's heart, right?

What are you up to?

I'm just finishing a cigarette and going on duty, sir.

- Are you on duty, too, sir? - Nah, just finished.

Cigarette, sir?

- I've got my own. - Have one of mine, sir.

What? Dunhill? Sure, Dunhill's nice.

Don't the army smokes make you spit, sir?

Yeah.

- Hey, Lee Seung-young. - CPL Lee Seung-young, sir.

You finally seem like you're working hard here.

- It's nothing, sir. - Nah, you are.

Keep up the good work. Your seniors like that, man.

It seems like you get the army a little now.

But are you gonna leave Ji-hoon alone like that?

I'm still talking with him, sir. I don't know myself, sir.

He acts like that cause he thinks you're soft. Show some discipline.

That's not it, sir. He's a bit slow...

But he's a nice guy, sir.

Stupid. That's just a big act. Don't you know that's his game?

Do you see anyone underneath me acting up?

Since you're always so nice he thinks you're soft.

Be scary. He'll start crawling soon enough.

That can't really be an act, sir. It must be frustrating for him,too.

Man, all this time here and you still don't get it?

Keep doing it your way. He'll never listen.

- Hey. - PV1 Hur Ji-hoon, sir.

Are you a comedian now?

What do you mean, sir?

Just walk normally.

When did you ever walk in formation with me before?

No, sir.

Before, you'd walk like a sergeant about to be discharged.

I'm really going to try hard from now on, sir.

Then you haven't work hard till now?

- That's not true, sir. - Crap.

- Hello? - Hello?

- Soo-yeon, it's me, Ji-hoon. - Oh.

Can you talk right now?

I was in the middle of something.

It'll just take a minute. Are you busy?

It's okay. Go on.

Um, can you come...

...and visit this weekend?

Why?

Oh, just. I really want to see you.

- I don't think I can. - I see.

Then come by when you have time.

When's a good time?

Ji-hoon, don't be like this. You promised you wouldn't.

I really want to see you. You sure you can't?

Let's give it some time and we'll see.

I'm a little busy right now so I'm going to hang up now.

- Uh, okay. Take care. - Okay. Bye.

Salute!

What are you doing? Put out your cigarette.

Put it out.

Hey.

Put it out!

And what's with your uniform?

Hey. Are you crazy?

Hey. Put out your cigarette now.

Put out your cigarette already!

Are you out of your mind?

Fuck...

What? Fuck?

Hey! Are you crazy? Fuck? Who are you saying fuck to?

Sergeant, sir. I'll take care of this, sir.

He's your junior so you take care of it. Okay?

Hur Ji-hoon! You've gotten a lot braver.

- Fuck? - I'll be right behind you, sir.

Hur Ji-hoon.

You think I'm soft cause I'm nice to you?

Do I seem soft to you?

Speak up. Am I soft?

Am I fuckin' soft, you bastard?

You, go to the barracks and plop your head down.

Cause I'm gonna kill you today! Got it? Fuckin' asshole.

What's taking him so long? This is the place, right?

Yeah,this is the place.

- Tae-jung~ - Yeah?

- Why do you work so hard? - What do you mean?

You know you could just do it half-ass...

You're supposed to work hard. That way, it gets easier.

Tae-jung~

- Can I have some coffee? - Ji-hoon,have some of mine.

- You really don't mind, Seung-young? - No, of course not.

Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.

Hey, no need to be thankful.

CPL Lee Seung-young you're a real good senior, sir.

Lee Seung-young, you're doing well. I knew you would.

Ji-hoon,have one of these.

Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.

CPL Lee Seung-young,thank you, sir.

Moron, what are you so thankful for, huh?

Hey!

What's wrong?

Why are you crying?

Tae-jung...

It's so strange. I think I'm going crazy, really.

Why?

Tae-jung, it's so hard.

It's so hard...

...that I wanna die.

What are you talking about?

I'm a real bastard.

A fuckin' prick.

Fuck, crazy bastard...

- Tae-jung... - Yeah?

I'm sorry.

For what?

Just everything.

You're talking nonsense.

It really didn't affect me.

Not at all.

Really.

Dammit, what did I do wrong?

Hey, why are you crying?

Tae-jung...

Tell me it's okay.

What?

Tell me it's okay.

That you understand everything. Huh?

Can't sleep?

Hurry up and sleep. You go back tomorrow, right?

- Tae-jung... - Yeah.

- How did you survive the army? - Don't know. Can't remember.

After you did that to me was it hard for you?

And you were really sorry, right?

Back then?

Yeah, it was hard then.

But after some time passes you can't remember a thing.

Give it some time you'll forget everything.

The army's like that.

Back then, I was in the position where I had to do something and...

You get what I'm saying, right?

You should know since it's the army...

That's such an irresponsible thing to say.

I hate that kind of logic the most.

"This is the army. Forget it."

You've been in the army long enough to know now, right?

- It can't be helped,the army... - Still...

- Tae-jung... - Yeah?

Ji-hoon, remember him?

Ji-hoon?

Yeah, Ji-hoon, why?

I think he's an idiot. The moron...

Hey, be good to him. Don't be too hard on him.

Was it hard for you because of me?

I'm glad you know.

I'm sorry, really.

It's okay. It's okay.

I never hated you. I understand everything.

Of course. I know. Seung-young, let's go to sleep.

I can be proud of one thing.

That I've never acted like any of the other seniors.

Yeah. You're right.

Man~ You fuckin' talk a lot.

Tae-jung. You think you were right don't you? Right?

That's why you were like that to me.

But because of stuff like that people get hurt...

- Do you know that? - Dammit...

You really know how to annoy a person, don't you?

Hey, do you think you did so well in the army?

Do you know why people talk about you behind your back?

Why?

Man, I should just drop it.

Tell me. Why do they?

Hey... Let's drop it. Okay?

- Tell me. Why? Tell me what they... - Fuck! You're so fuckin' annoying...

- Tae-jung, I was wrong... - Let go.

I have something to tell you.

- Ji-hoon, you know, Ji-hoon...? - What?

I let it pass before but...

But... you really make it tough for people.

Hanging out with you is really hard for me. It's fuckin' repulsive.

Please don't say that.

I don't know how to act right now.

I'm really weird right now.

I can't be alone right now. Really.

Hey...

Stop fuckin' around and hurry back to the army.

- I can't. - Then what?

What the hell do you want to hear from me?

Shit, I knew I shouldn't meet you.

How do you talk with a fuckin' asshole?

Hey...

Back then, when everyone badmouthed you...

...still, I didn't.

Why the hell do you treat me like this?

Smarten up, you dick. Be a fuckin' man.

It's 15,700 won.

I'll take this out.

10,800 won.

I'm sorry, I'll take this out,too.

9,800 won.

- I'll just take two chopsticks. - Sure.

Hey, Seung-young.

Hey, Seung-young...

Hey...

Hey!

Oh, fuck...

Hey...

(Peace and Order Together, A Safe Society ForAll)

- Who is it? - It's me. Open the door.

- Who is it? - Me, Tae-jung.

- Want me to do that for you? - Forget it. It's dirty.

- I'll do it for you. - It's okay.

That's not how to do it. I said I'd do it for you.

Stop it, will you?

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Then,how much does she get paid?

For that? I don't remember.

I think she said 80,000 won or 70,000 won per job.

Hey... You think you can ask her to introduce me?

Alright. I'll ask her.

I hope it's 80,000 won.

- The food here is good, right? - Yeah. It's okay.

You know...

It's kind of awkward for me to ask her for something like that.

Why?

- Cause I did her a little wrong. - What? That thing,that time?

It wasn't just me who was wrong.

Hey... Go and apologize first.

It wasn't such a big thing.

It's okay.

You and she were just the same.

Hey, that's right.

Did your friend go back alright?

Who?

Your friend yesterday.

Your army junior?

Oh, yeah...

- Ji-hae, I need to go to the bathroom. - Okay.

He went back fine.

He went back fine.

Seung-young... You've gotta be more careful.

There's a lot of talk about you these days.

It's okay when you're with me. It's okay with me but...

That's fine. I don't care about that.

It's their standards. It's not like I'm wrong.

I'm not saying you're wrong.

Keep it up and it'll only get harder for you.

- What about after I'm discharged? - I'll be okay.

I'm going to change everything once I make sergeant anyway.

That's easy to say.

But it's not as easy as that.

Of course, it won't be easy.

Let's just drop it.

Sergeant, sir.

The battalion commander says to round up everyone for an exercise.

What's with your nose?

I was wiping it, sir.

How is it that you can make a big show of just blowing your nose?

Sorry, sir.

Go put some medicine on it. We'll be in soon.

Yes, sir.

Man, I'm so sick of all this.

I can't wait to get out of here.

What are you going to do after you're discharged?

Me?

Well...

I'm not sure.

Still,there must be something you want to do.

Whatever I do it's gotta be better than this.

What do you want to do?

Well...

I'm not sure, either.

Hey, the way I see it, you need to grow up first, man.

Let's go in.
