Manny

[Two men await their pick-ups at the airport when one reads the other's sign]

Guy at Airport:
What does "Manny" mean?

Chauffeur:
It's a nanny who looks after children.

Guy at Airport:
A childcare worker? This seems to be a man's name.

Chauffeur:
In America, a man can do the same work, too.

Seo Janice:
I am South Korea's Janice Dickenson.

Seo Do-young:
What do you think of male nannies?

Goo Hyun-jung:
Male nannies? Wouldn't that be uncomfortable?

Seo Do-young:
Uncomfortable?

Goo Hyun-jung:
Yes, think about it. Living with a husband is hard enough. Living together with a strange man, even taking a shower would present problems. What if you walk in on him naked?

Seo Do-young:
Because of people like you, Koreans would be looked down upon.

Shin Gi-roo:
Is this a joke? I even took a bath - with no hot water.

Shin Gi-roo:
How outrageous! How could he sleep like that when there is a beautiful lover beside him?

Shin Gi-roo:
[asking the Internet for help] "My boyfriend refuses to sleep with me. What should I do?"

[Response 1:
"Give him some viagra."]

[Response 2:
"Your boyfriend is definitely gay."]

[Response 3:
"Because he slept with me yesterday."]

Kim Yi-han:
Jung-min, don't be afraid. Throw the ball as hard as you can. Throw away all those cowardly feelings forever, understand?

Kim Yi-han:
[to viewers] When children talk back, they want to express their views to the parents. They may feel angry or threatened. Communicate with them patiently. When children are talking back, it could also be their manifestation of love towards their mother. Don't get too excited and consider why your child is acting up. For children, the most important thing for them is to feel their mother's love. If you have any questions, please leave a message to Manny.

Lee Jun-ki:
It is said that one must give in to the person whom he or she loves.

Seo Janice:
Who said so? Based on what? There must be a certain etiquette when it comes to love. If she can not appreciate it, she should at least say thanks. What's so great about her acting like that?

Park Sang-cheol:
Frankly speaking, if they do not choose me, their eyes are not eyes. They are "sweets" eyes.

Seo Janice:
I just found out that you are very eloquent. Drink up.

Seo Janice:
Seo Do-young, I will eat breakfast by myself in my room. Do you understand?

Seo Janice:
I will not allow Kim Yi-han to ruin my life like that. He will disappear soon, then I will live my life to the fullest again.

[At the beauty salon, Janice overhears two other customers talking about her]

Woman:
Wow, are you going to be Oh Sung Group's main model? But I heard they wanted Janice to be their model.

Han Eun-ju:
She rejected the offer because of a man.

Woman:
Really?

Han Eun-ju:
What's even more ridiculous is that she was dumped by that man. She may look ferocious, but in fact she is nothing. Isn't that embarrassing? Furthermore, that woman is really old. A lot of the employees had to quit because of her.

Oh Eun-bi:
I am not a child. I want to wear a bra. Buy it for me!

Seo Janice:
Han Eun-ju, it can't be you. I'm Janice. Who do you think you are? Is this sagging a bit?

Goo Hyun-jung:
Firstly, before he is fully mesmerized by you, be sexy, tempt him; then, in that decisive moment, push him away. Then, those 'driving' rights will automatically fall into your hands.

Seo Do-young:
Because of you I have become a strange woman.

Goo Hyun-jung:
Surprise!

Seo Janice:
You also come to this cosmetology center? They should straighten their management. They seem to accept anyone because of the economic recession.

Han Eun-ju:
Yes, this is my first time to come here, too. I don't want to go home. I didn't know this place just lets anyone in.

Seo Janice:
You!... Because of your recent popularity, your arrogance has skyrocketed to the heavens. Pay attention to your words and behavior. An arrogant impudent person, where did...

Han Eun-ju:
Sunbaenim, shouldn't you pay attention to your behavior as well? The way you're behaving, anyone can see that you are an 'expired' model being jealous of her junior's rising popularity.

Seo Janice:
What?

Han Eun-ju:
I don't mind if a crooked duck can still fly. Open audition! How embarrassing it's going to be if you are eliminated. You still don't realize that.

Seo Janice:
You're cocky now, but if you lose face, what would you do? Hm? Let's wait and see who will laugh at the end.

Goo Hyun-jung:
Since you DID kiss, now there is only one thing left.

Seo Do-young:
Are you crazy?

Goo Hyun-jung:
You already have two kids. Don't pretend you don't know.

Goo Hyun-jung:
Men are hard to understand. Why would they leave someone like me alone?

Seo Janice:
By the way, starting today don't prepare separate dinners for me.

Seo Do-young:
What?

Seo Janice:
I know this wouldn't help my appetite, but I can't let him ruin my clothes with food smell.

Seo Do-young:
[on her romance with Yi-han] My sister... Wouldn't it be better to tell her? What if she finds out before we tell her?

[Yi-han recalls Janice's reaction when he declined her invitation to hook up]

Seo Janice:
[in flashback] You were going to reject me from the beginning. Why are you making me look so pathetic?

Kim Yi-han:
Not yet. When we all feel comfortable later, let's tell her.

Seo Do-young:
But still...

Kim Yi-han:
Look at me. Isn't it the same for you?

[Do-young nods]

Kim Yi-han:
For your sister and your kids, there will be obstacles. In order to endure the obstacles, we two should grow trust in each other. I'm trusting you. How about you?

[Do-young nods]

Shin Gi-roo:
[reporting] "Name: Jo In-kwang, born in Seoul. He debuted in 2008. After the jeans advertisement in which he was featured became big, he became famous. With his unique charisma and image of a bad man, he was featured in twenty-eight advertisements in 2010 alone. He was the main model in eleven fashion shows. He's been getting love calls from movie and drama companies." Up to this point, this was all done on the Internet. "He was born in 1986. His blood type is B. He likes provocative and sexy women. He prefers body size 36-25-36. His favorite place for dating is near the river, and it takes him three days on average to kiss women. He's reckless. The part of a woman's body he like is..."

Seo Janice:
Hey! Are we matchmakers?

Shin Gi-roo:
Look at his charisma. Isn't he so hot?

Seo Janice:
Charisma? Charisma my butt!

[Shin Gi-roo introduces the new top model to the men's locker room]

Lee Jun-ki:
Isn't he Jo In-kwang? He's joining?

Shin Gi-roo:
You, Lee Jun-ki, you thought you're the best? You're nothing compared to him.

Jo In-kwang:
Inferior models always make a big deal out of courtesy.

Seo Do-young:
How can you tell me to meet my ex-husband? On the day of my birthday...

Kim Yi-han:
No matter whom you like, I'm your kids' manny, and I can't ignore the fact that your kids have the chance to live with their dad again.

Seo Do-young:
I don't want to go.

Seo Janice:
[catching Yi-han and Do-young in an embrace] I'm asking you. What do you two think you are doing?

Seo Do-young:
Sister... it...

Kim Yi-han:
We're... in a relationship.

Seo Janice:
What?

Kim Yi-han:
I feel truly sorry for you, but the truth of the matter is...

Seo Janice:
Shut up. Seo Do-young, what's wrong with you? Are you two really... together?

Seo Do-young:
I'm sorry.

Seo Janice:
How could you... how could you do this to me? How could...?

Seo Janice:
Imagine you have someone that you like; but, if your friend says she likes him also, what would you do?

Shin Gi-roo:
Yes? What a b*tch! Oh... are you... the bad girl?

Seo Janice:
Answer me.

Shin Gi-roo:
I've never been through unrequited love, but unless you're in an official relationship, you probably shouldn't care. Boss?

Seo Janice:
You can leave.

Shin Gi-roo:
Cross-stich works the best for men.

Seo Janice:
You listened to me well until you were ten. Never mind. How many times did I tell you I didn't like your husband? Ever since you ignored me and got married, I've given up on you.

Seo Do-young:
Sis...

Seo Janice:
Do as you want. I don't care anymore.

Shin Gi-roo:
Now that I think about it, I was a bit tough on you.

Park Sang-cheol:
At least you know that much.

Oh Eun-bi:
[messaging on the Internet] Dad! Mr. Manny and Mom are dating!

[no response]

Oh Eun-bi:
Dad, are you there?

[Dad's response:
"Yes."]

Oh Eun-bi:
What do you mean "yes?" You're not going to do anything about it?

[Dad's response:
"Don't worry. No matter whom your mom likes, you're still my daughter."]

Oh Eun-bi:
This is not the time for you to say things like that!

Seo Janice:
[seeing people around dressed formally for a costume party] These people have no manners. Is it that difficult for them to abide by dress code?

Goo Hyun-jung:
Eun-bi may be younger, but her temper is as bad, if not worse, than Janice's.

[Eun-bi stomps off after her mother's and her manny's refusal to discuss their dating]

Seo Do-young:
What's gotten into Eun-bi?

Kim Yi-han:
Eun-bi's just a child. You shouldn't get too excited. Have some water and relax.

Kim Yi-han:
Divorce is a sensitive issue for kids. It may be more difficult for them than it is for kids. Not to mention, Eun-bi's a girl. Girls are more sensitive about divorce and remarriage.

Seo Do-young:
[sitting around while her kids are missing] This won't do. I'm going to look for them.

Kim Yi-han:
[forcing her back down] Relax. What do you want to do?

Seo Janice:
Why is my family so dysfunctional? There's not even that many of us.

Seo Janice:
That girl... even if you told her the world was going to end tomorrow, she'd be chasing after men.

Kim Yi-han:
Reading too much can harm children's eyesight and health.

Kim Yi-han:
From now on, listen to me regarding children's issues. If you are not satisfied, tell me now. I didn't bring my luggage so I can leave immediately.

Kim Yi-han:
When you have depression, there is a need to release psychological pressure. He needs more stimulation.

Kim Yi-han:
[at the boxing gym] Do you want to try with me?

Oh Jung-min:
I don't want to.

Kim Yi-han:
You are a coward, then.

Goo Hyun-jung:
There is a big problem. All the mothers are gathered here. There is a rumor saying that you got divorced because you had an affair and are living with a young man.

Seo Do-young:
What?

Goo Hyun-jung:
Do you know who started this rumor? Jung-suk's mother. I told you before, didn't I? Beware of that woman.

Seo Janice:
You may not know it, but I'm Janice, Republic of Korea's top senior model. I'm known by everyone except babies and loners.

Girl at Gym:
He's quite handsome but he's not normal.

Lawyer Yang:
It looks like it will be difficult to convince them.

Seo Janice:
Convince him? That's not my style. I am going to sue him for defamation.

Lawyer Yang:
We can't. I talked with the other models. Their accounts are to your disadvantage.

Seo Janice:
Lee Jun-ki, do you think you are worth two hundred million won? With an annual salary of less than two million won, you're claiming damages for two hundred million won? Two hundred million won - what a joke!

Sam Brand:
You live downtown with your Korean mom, don't you? Is your Daddy still in Korea?

Child Kim Yi-han:
He just left. He doesn't want to stay with us anymore.

Sam Brand:
You know, I have a good idea. Since I don't have a son and you don't have a father, why don't you and I become like father and son? Sharing hot dogs is like sharing friendship. Would you be my friend?

Kim Yi-han:
You should take this opportunity to stop yelling at others and treat people with respect.

Kim Yi-han:
If the mother can't dream, how can her children learn to dream?

Seo Janice:
[swilling at a bar, thinking resentfully of Do-young] Your older sister didn't come home and you are not even calling.

Oh Jung-min:
Dad is cold.

Seo Janice:
Are you... are you declaring war with your older sister?

Seo Janice:
You. Joo-won. I let you play a rain forest snake. Who told you to imitate a worm?

President Meng Joo-won:
You have just now taken away a very precious item. Be sure to keep it safe.

Seo Do-young:
What?

President Meng Joo-won:
Just now, you took away... my heart.

Kim Yi-han:
I will definitely not have a relationship with my employer. That is my iron clad law.

Kim Yi-han:
She's already a patient suffering the side effects of taking the wrong medicine.

Teacher:
Morning lessons are nearly over and she comes to school looking like this.

[Eun-bi sits haughtily with styled hair, sparkle eye make-up and lipstick]

Teacher:
An elementary school kid putting on make-up - do you think it's appropriate?

Oh Eun-bi:
Sorry. Why isn't it acceptable? I'm going to be a celebrity. Don't all celebrities put on make-up?

Seo Do-young:
Eun-bi, aren't you going to tone down?

Teacher:
Not only the make-up, her whole appearance is skanky.

Oh Eun-bi:
This is the 2NE1 style. I am going to be a fashionista!

Seo Do-young:
Oh, Eun-bi, you're too much!

Goo Hyun-jung:
The two things you can't hold in is a sneeze and love.

Oh Eun-bi:
I want to look for Dad! I don't want to live with Mom!

Seo Do-young:
Eun-bi...

Oh Eun-bi:
From the very beginning, I said that I didn't want to live with you. When you got divorced, I said I wanted to live with Dad. Why did you bring me here? Why won't you let me do what I like? Mom, are you my step-mohter?

Seo Janice:
I'm being captivated by my enemy. Does that even make sense?

Seo Janice:
Shin Gi-roo, your skirt's really short today. Are you meeting a guy?

Shin Gi-roo:
Representative, you're really observant. Actually, there's a guy that I really like.

Seo Janice:
Short skirt, sexy legs and big breasts - are these the only weapons you have?

Shin Gi-roo:
This is only the basic set. I have my own "play hard to get" act.

Seo Janice:
"Play hard to get" act?

Shin Gi-roo:
Firstly, you go on a field trip, and you must have a barbecue together. Ah! Research has shown that a man and a woman having a barbecue together will encourage intimacy.

Seo Janice:
Such research exists?

Shin Gi-roo:
And when you get close, then you go to Karaoke and make your move.

Seo Janice:
How?

Shin Gi-roo:
Men prefer the innocent type of women compared to the sexy type. Act cute a little and then entice him!

Shin Gi-roo:
Your parents are just visiting, so why are you so flustered?

Lee Jun-ki:
My parents... they think I'm a famous model, with a nice car, and favorably treated by the president. They think that I am very busy. They think that I'm too busy to leave Seoul.

Shin Gi-roo:
Jun-ki, I didn't know that you were such a liar.

Lee Jun-ki:
Because I'm the only child, the expectations on me really high, but if they see the situation I'm in...

Shin Gi-roo:
They'll stop you from being a model and ask you to go home, right?

Lee Jun-ki:
Noona, what should I do?

Shin Gi-roo:
Who knows. What should I do? I'm not in a position to help.

Lee Jun-ki:
All you have to do is eat the meat. Just leave the rest to me, okay?

Seo Janice:
This... this guy just gave me a piece of meat.

Kim Yi-han:
You're the sort that would frighten a ghost. Why are you freaking out?

Seo Janice:
Where are you going, leaving Janice alone?

Kim Yi-han:
Oh, geez, using your name like that. Can you stop doing that? Why have you suddenly become like that? People who are suddenly not themselves... Who are you?

Kim Yi-han:
Oh, I thought you were possessed by a ghost. Then again, with that temper of yours, even a ghost won't dare come close.

Seo Janice:
I do have a conscience. I'll watch over you till you sleep, so don't worry.

Kim Yi-han:
Why don't you pull in an all-nighter and write a review?

Shin Gi-roo:
Now's the time to show your gratitude.

Kim Yi-han:
[riding in the back of Janice's car] Other than having to be alone with you, there's nothing uncomfortable here.

Oh Shi-hyuk:
Jung-min seems to really like that ahjussi.

Oh Jung-min:
Yes, as much as I like you, Dad.

Oh Shi-hyuk:
Really?

Oh Jung-min:
Manny ahjussi is like Superman. Sometimes he becomes a baseball player, sometimes he's a teacher. He plays a lot with me and sister. He's also particularly closer to Mom.

Shin Gi-roo:
With so many men to play with in this world, how can I date just one? The more the merrier. That is the reality.

Kim Yi-han:
A pitcher can't pitch if he doesn't trust his catcher. A catcher can't catch if he doesn't trust his pitcher.

Seo Do-young:
What do you mean?

Kim Yi-han:
I'm saying that your relationship is like that. The pitcher and the catcher need to trust one another.

Seo Do-young:
But we're strangers now.

Kim Yi-han:
You can be strangers without the kids, but with the kids you are all one team. Your team must be the best for your children, so don't act like that.

Mission Statement Gal:
The mission is to design dinner outfits out of materials for sports apparel. In other words, design something that our nation's athletes may wear for a party. You have to at least incorporate one of the sports items that we've prepared into the design. You may also be able to utilize the use of other accompanying materials. We will now reveal the prepared items.

[Items revealed are a catcher's mitt, a boxing glove, a basketball, a bowling pin, a goalie mask, an ice skate, a checkered flag, a swim fin, and such]

Oh Shi-hyuk:
Why are we here?

Kim Yi-han:
First, punch me once.

Oh Shi-hyuk:
What? Why do you want me to hit you?

Kim Yi-han:
Right now, you're feeling horrible, injured, and your pride's bruised. Just let it out. SO you should vent. So you can just punch me.

Oh Shi-hyuk:
Then I'll just punch you once... slightly. Then, here I go.

[Dad punches Manny but only enough to turn his head]

Kim Yi-han:
Don't joke around. Just punch me once properly.

[Fighting his reluctance, Dad punches harder, hurting his fist]

Oh Shi-hyuk:
Are you all right?

Kim Yi-han:
[recovering] Now it's my turn.

[Manny belts Dad, knocking him to the ground]

Kim Yi-han:
If you're just going to give up so easily, you shouldn't get angry at anyone else!

Kim Yi-han:
Ah, now I know what the frog felt like in the lab.

Shin Gi-roo:
The PR department of Oh Sung Group called this morning. They would like to discuss with Representative the new products that will be launched.

Seo Janice:
Oh Sung Group? Ah, they are launching a new brand of gold accessaries for women in their thirties. They're looking for a popular model? That's right, "the only model in South Korea with a golden image." Besides me - Janice - who else would be there?

Shin Gi-roo:
Most of Oh Sung Group's models are generally top stars.

Seo Janice:
You! Are you saying Janice isn't a top star?

Shin Gi-roo:
Ah! It's not that, representative. Oh Sung Group always has their models do high profile work for them. If so, Representative will become famous.

Seo Janice:
Definitely.

Seo Janice:
[having interjected herself into Yi-han's run] You... can't you run more slowly?

Kim Yi-han:
Why should I have to run at YOUR pace?

Seo Janice:
You know. I'm the famous Janice. If I'm running alone, my fans might see me.

Kim Yi-han:
Fan? What fans?

Attorney Hong:
This is the Oh Sung Group contract. The contract term is one year, and the contract price is ten billion Won. During the period of the contract, you are not only to participate in television advertisements but also take part in promotional events and the like.

Shin Gi-roo:
Ten million Won!

Seo Janice:
Ten million Won. However, what is this? "Love and marriage are absolutely prohibited?"

Attorney Hong:
You also know that, this time, the brand represents the golden image of a woman; so, during the contract period, it's not only marriage but, also, small scandals that are not allowed.

Seo Janice:
What if there is any violation?

Attorney Hong:
If there is a breach of contract, you must reimburse us at three times the contract value.

Kim Yi-han:
Did you just see the strength of this Ajusshi? But you're better than me, so if you say what you have said previously one more time, you know the consequences, right?

Oh Eun-bi:
I hate you!

Kim Yi-han:
I guess my words won't work on you. If you try saying those words once again - say it once - and I will have you drink one glass of carrot juice.

Oh Eun-bi:
[muffled through his hand gag] Eww... carrot juice?

Kim Yi-han:
I know you don't like carrot juice. so don't say it, understand?

Kim Yi-han:
If you keep acting like this, I will lie to your mom that you wet your pants.

Kim Yi-han:
In the future, if someone tries to bully you and you feel wronged, I will allow you to say it.

Seo Do-young:
[shocked] What?

Oh Eun-bi:
[delighted] Really?

Kim Yi-han:
But you can't say those words. Instead, you can say "stress."

Oh Eun-bi:
"Stress?"

Kim Yi-han:
Anyway, to curse someone is just like spitting. One can get rid of the tension and pressure in the heart; so, rather than using the harsh words earlier, this new word can be used instead. It's good for Eun-bi, and the people who hear it will also not be too angry.

Seo Do-young:
Who are you?

Kim Yi-han:
Huh?

Seo Do-young:
Sometimes you are good, and sometimes you are bad. Sometimes you make people happy, sometimes you make people feel offended. Sometimes you are like a good person and making me feel tired.

Kim Yi-han:
Cry all you want; however, sniveling is not allowed. These are my favorite clothes.

Kim Yi-han:
Anyway, don't strain yourself and do it slowly.

Seo Janice:
Perhaps you still have an obsession towards Mr. Kim Yi-han?

Carrie Jung:
No way! Although he is a charming man, the idea of getting back together has never crossed my mind.

Seo Janice:
Why is that?

Carrie Jung:
In fact, this person, Kim Yi-han, CAN be considered as the best manny, but as a lover he gets a zero.

Seo Janice:
What?

Carrie Jung:
He is best at being a manny, meaning to say, he only knows about the kids. Sensing that you may not be as good as the kids, as a woman, it feels really miserable. Don't you understand?
