[Joo Won shows up outside Ra Im's apartment]

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Miss Ra Im, did I intrude upon plans with him?

Gil Ra Im:
Absolutely not. Despite efforts, this guy can't get it in his head that I'd prefer to live without some obsessed puppy's nose digging in my back. It's like he requires rejection to live, or else he's just thick as a post.

Kim Joo Won:
Th... thick?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Nice shot!

Lim Ah Young:
Is there someone outside?

Gil Ra Im:
Just a barking dog that I had to tell to get lost.

Lim Ah Young:
Rather remarkable dog to make its bark call you a sour lemon peel, wouldn't you say?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
You followed me in?

Kim Joo Won:
Would you rather step back outside?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Look at you. You look prone to pound something.

Kim Joo Won:
Since you would think that, have you done something to deserve a pounding?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
I haven't done anything yet, but if you don't get out of my face, I could change that if you like.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
You know, our mothers are quite different from other rich wives. You ever ponder that? Even though they otherwise freely share their inheritance, they would never share it with us while they live. Why? So that you and I will continue listening to them.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
In your calculating view, marriage is just a once-in-a-lifetime opportune business merger. No? Man up. You should pursue someone with your similar outlook, and stop thrashing around in Gi Ra Im's life.

Yeun-Sul:
Other than when countries fall apart or when parents pass away, any woman without time to do her hair can't call herself woman. There's only one lifeline a woman can hold onto through life's trials - beauty.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
My singing may have gotten shaky, but my morals chime across seven octaves, in perfect pitch! Understand?

Kim Sung-Oh:
Did you enjoy the performance?

Kim Joo Won:
I lost my focus. Reserve more tickets, but this time clear out an entire row.

Kim Sung-Oh:
An entire row?

Kim Joo Won:
Some pompous woman plopped her bag right on my seat at the start. While educating her I thought, "Why go through this when I can just buy the whole row?" I regret not thinking of it before.

Kim Sung-Oh:
Oh... Such a regret no other person would ever begin to entertain.

Kim Joo Won:
That's why I'm special.

Park Bong-Ho:
He chirps so eloquently.

Bong-Ho's Yes Man:
Empty barrels do rattle the loudest.

Kim Joo Won:
Ah, there's something that's caught my attention. Are people apt to give up something in order to get something else they really want?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
Well, yes, but what they often desire can be that which is beyond their reach.

Kim Joo Won:
Rubbish. You're telling me that that woman's beyond the length of MY reach?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
Woman?

Kim Joo Won:
Does that woman have to constantly embrace the contrary, the senseless and the childish?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
It's not your experience, but for a person who's had nothing, it would be very hard to act contrary, senseless and childish? If she was like most women you've known, she would accept you coolly. You see, you have met a woman who is beyond your reach.

Kim Joo Won:
Ah, the plagiarism scandal has straightened out?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Of course. I've always been a good soul. Though God tests me every now and then, he doesn't leave me twisting too long.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
The person that you can't get out of your head - Gil Ra Im. If you harbor any deep feelings for her that are sincere, you should stop jumping around like a street jackanapes and come back to your true self. You've behaved like the star attraction in "Department Store Lovers" or something.

Kim Joo Won:
I've already resolved the problem. I'm going to break up with her.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Is that the truth?

Kim Joo Won:
It is, but later. I'll definitely break up with her, but not now.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Why not now?

Kim Joo Won:
I carefully studied the problem on all sides for several long days, and I've concluded that I like the girl and should keep seeing her, despite my pride.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
What?

Kim Joo Won:
Right now I find her puzzling and amazing, but if I keep seeing her, she'll, at some point, become just another woman to me, a woman without any appeal nine times out of ten, neither cool nor hot to me anymore. Three months, you think? I should see that woman for three more months. It's not like anything's going to happen to my inheritance in that time .

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Ah, what a huge jerk! I'll make sure Ra Im knows about this.

Kim Joo Won:
She knows already. She can't become anything but the little mermaid. Having known her personality, I don't think that she's going to be mushy.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
You got it wrong. If anyone'd be mushy, I'd be you.

Kim Joo Won:
Me?

Kim Joo Won:
You're guilty.

Gil Ra Im:
Of what?

Kim Joo Won:
Me. I'm constipated.

Gil Ra Im:
Now what? What is it?

Kim Joo Won:
Our department store stocks fell.

Gil Ra Im:
Word that the president is a lunatic must have finally gotten out.

Kim Joo Won:
What crime did my clothes ever commit against you?

Kim Joo Won:
[at the film set] Why do you keep doing this kind of work, not getting properly fed and just getting insertion scenes?

Gil Ra Im:
Just eat your meal.

Kim Joo Won:
It doesn't make sense. If it doesn't make you rich or famous, why would you even continue this kind of dangerous work when you might get injured and risk your life? Is it because of stunt-actor pride? No one recognizes you, and only the main actors will ever be remembered. Is pride that important to you? Am I wrong in this?

Gil Ra Im:
What you say is true; however...

Gil Ra Im:
[indicating individual stuntmen sitting around them]... he will remember me. This guy here, he will remember me. This man, too, he will remember me. I also think of all of them.

Kim Joo Won:
Okay. So what if a few people remember you? Does it change anything?

Gil Ra Im:
A few people? Then how many people would remember you? If they break a leg or an arm instead of you, would any say, "Thank goodness it wasn't you?" How many people'd do that for you? That's why I told you not to come here. I've no idea why you continue to belittle our work, but we chose this work. We feel passion for this work, which is why we do it. Who are you to look down on what we do?

Kim Joo Won:
If you take the tongs, you have a duty to distribute the meat fairly.

Gil Ra Im:
But you WANT to be treated differently. Segregation, discrimination and unfairness is the battle cry of your kind.

Kim Joo Won:
[watching Oska drive off with Ra Im] How could you just let her go?

Lim Jong Su:
You were just standing there and could have done something.

Kim Joo Won:
You're the one with all the martial arts skills to put into play. You didn't think I'd call you a lawyer?

Lim Jong Su:
Have we become allies at some point?

Kim Joo Won:
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Is that strange? You should have known that. It IS from an Arabian country.

Moon Boon-Hong:
[violently rejecting Ra Im's gift] Take this junk back! It would have been better had you come empty-handed. How dare you think I would ever accept anything so demeaning. Why ever would I debase myself to do so? Hauling cheap fruit off the streets and into this exemplary house... Have you no shame?

Gil Ra Im:
Listen carefully. I hate being with you, every waking second of it. I'm warning you, don't you ever touch my life again. Got it?

Gil Ra Im:
See? Getting played doesn't feel so hot. I always feel that, every time I have to deal with you. When are you going to tire of all this fooling around? I clearly told you to return that money to her.

Kim Joo Won:
Now let's just settle...

Gil Ra Im:
Can't you shut up? Think what I say is trivial because I say it calmly? The things you say and do make me want to beat you half to death, but I'm angrier with myself, because for a moment, despite my better judgement, I allowed myself to get remotely interested in you, so shut up. You think a girl who works to survive incapable of courtesy? When I visit someone's house, my father taught me never to arrive empty-handed. How can you ridicule me for that? Your household is so far above everything else that you can disdain those values?

Kim Joo Won:
You were upset, so I'll apologize. I'm sorry.

Gil Ra Im:
Don't apologize. You're not really sorry at all.

Gil Ra Im:
In this world, there are some things you'd be happier not to know. In my particular case... you'd be one of them.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Did you... let her leave by herself?

Kim Joo Won:
Think she's the type not to head off alone?

Kim Joo Won:
Guy, I really thought I had confidence.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
What confidence?

Kim Joo Won:
Confidence in not... falling for her. Because she's a woman with nothing, I had confidence not to feel anything for her, nothing at all, but, uh... it failed. Why'd my plan fell apart?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Ah, you're crazy! There are other things worth planning. Are people's feelings set inside some vending machine, poised to dispense soft drinks right when you want them? Chill. Catch you later.

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
You the dame who reported?

Yeun-Sul:
[brightly] I'm the author of that news report, but calling me dame's extreme.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
You... were the evilest thorn... to ever stab me.

Moon Yeon-Hong:
I know that no news is good news, but sometimes I'd really like to hear from you.

Kim Joo Won:
Santa Claus doesn't give presents to crybabies. His guidelines are very strict indeed.

Kim Joo Won:
Based on your ferocious gaze, you must be real.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
The atmosphere feels contentious. What'd you do to start this? Whatever she levels at you, you stand there and take it, and accept it! You okay, Miss Ra Im?

Gil Ra Im:
I'm sorry for leaving like I did yesterday.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
No, it's not your fault. You should be quite bullet-ridden by now. I know from experience, the nastiness of our family mothers, it can be quite something. Were you caught off-guard?

Kim Joo Won:
Why are you bringing up things passed?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
It may be passed for YOU - to you, today can be just today - but to Ra Im, today and tomorrow will forever return to that moment yesterday, standing in that living room.

Gil Ra Im:
You're going to bore a hole in my face.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
That's why I look with intent. Where on your face might you think the hole would finally peek out?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
I doubt you'd ever hold a grudge. You always resolve your issues up front, right?

Moon Boon-Hong:
This is what's wrong with nice people these days. Their cultivation precludes them from grasping the things that are theirs.

Kim Joo Won:
I'll be YOUR Little Mermaid. I'll be at your side like a second shadow, and then I'll disappear like a bubble. That's my plan, to hang by you like this, till I'm no longer interested in you. Have you nothing to say on the matter? I've thought about this for a long time.

Gil Ra Im:
How could I possibly respond to something so ridiculous?

Kim Joo Won:
I openly admit my desperate need to cling to you at this time. Whacha think? Cool, right? Other men wouldn't acknowledge anything like this so easily.

Kim Joo Won:
Sure, we could fight the good fight - against my grandpa's siblings who stand ever ready against my chances at becoming the permanent CEO of the department store through inheritance, and against the investors who expect my marriage to be a merger and acquisition transaction, along with the many shareholders, and against my mother who will go out of her way to hurt you and drag your name through the mud . Unlike most people, my marriage is a complicated business with many stakeholders. In the end I'll have to make a decision: disappoint all those people with vested interests in order to take the woman I want, Gil Ra Im, or release you in order to take a girl who will represent a strategic business advantage?

Kim Sung-Oh:
[anguished] So did President Kim smell you in the bathroom or not?

Kim Joo Won:
Should I drop the blind dating?

Gil Ra Im:
What would you do otherwise? It's an important merger and acquisition survey for you. Forget about the girl who went out of her way to bring tangerines as gifts, and continue your marriage search.

Moon Boon-Hong:
Sister, you've gotten rid of the many girls Woo Young used to run around with. You're an aficionado in this area.

Moon Yeon-Hong:
Of course! I'd be the national competitor if it were ever adopted as an Olympic event - a clear gold medal favorite.

Moon Yeon-Hong:
To get rid of one girl you need to use another girl.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
As always, you only look to see how things affect you. About hurting others, you couldn't care less. That's how you've always lived, and it's the trait that defines you.

Kim Joo Won:
Why are you meeting with Gil Ra Im?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Out of all the people I know, she's the only one who can provide solace.

Yeun-Sul:
As always, Mr. Choi Woo Young only expresses his true feelings to third party bystanders.

Gil Ra Im:
All villains in life don't start as such. Some get hurt along the way. A women's love, once bruised and left to heal itself in isolation, sometimes returns as intense hatred. From what I see, it looks like there's a misunderstanding between you two.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Oh, I know. I agree. I hesitate to confirm it. I'm scared of what I'd find, scared that it might really be my fault. Finding that out would be... truly frightening.

Kim Joo Won:
Stunt people are so insufferably mobile. You could call me on my phone, but whenever there's a problem, you guys prefer to show up and yell at my face.

Lim Jong Su:
After starting the action school, it took us five years to build our gym and move in. My staff and I worked hard, we achieved our dream together, then with a flip of a finger you undermine our dignity. Understand?

Hwang Jung-hwan:
The words sure to soften Ra Im are, "Gil Ra Im, your very existence is a blessing unto all of us," or this, "Your actions bespeak a fragrance of lavender in them." Compares her to the essence of lavender - magic.

Hwang Jung-hwan:
Don't worry. I'll return after a quick beating.

Gil Ra Im:
Of the four seasons, I like hiking in winter best of all.

Lim Jong Su:
Why?

Gil Ra Im:
Your face feels the cold but your body feels the heat. Even if you're tired from the effort, you'll freeze if you stop walking. I like it when that makes me have to walk and walk until my heart's ready to burst, urging me onward, helping me reach my goal to the top.

Gil Ra Im:
There's no leg that won't break after ten kicks.

Oska's Stage Partner:
Your weird gyration breaks me up. What IS this move? Did you put botox in your pelvis?

Oska's Stage Partner:
[looking skyward] Oh, I must have thoroughly betrayed my country in a previous life.

Yeun-Sul's Friend:
You could always call on Seul whenever you had the need to see her, but when Seul needed you, she always found herself alone with no one to lean on, and no one to talk to. In order to be your lover, she had to always stay undercover - and at a time in her life when she was at her fairest.

Kim Joo Won:
If I show my face at the hospital, it'll appear on the economic news and stocks will subsequently plummet.

Kim Joo Won:
On the day you went out with Choi Woo Young, what did you two do?

Gil Ra Im:
We ate pig skin. Why?

Kim Joo Won:
Do the nation's pork growers have you under contract? Why do you keep taking celebrities out to eat fried pig skin? Did Choi Woo Young eat it?

Gil Ra Im:
Yeah. Unlike someone else I could name, he chewed it - like a real man.

[a montage of petty demands]

Gil Ra Im:
[as Joo Won enters her room] Don't you know how to knock?

Kim Joo Won:
Yeah, I don't. There aren't many doors that require my knock before I can enter. My feet need washed, and my back troubles me too much.

Gil Ra Im:
You're asking me... to wash your feet?

[later]

Kim Joo Won:
[entering] Thirsty. Need water.

Gil Ra Im:
The kitchen's right next to your room. You had to come down to my room to tell me this?

[Joo Won shrugs]

[later]

Kim Joo Won:
[entering] Television's on a boring channel and needs changing?

Gil Ra Im:
[exasperated] YAH!

[later]

Gil Ra Im:
[seeing Joo Won enter with pillow] And what NOW?

Kim Joo Won:
I wanna sleep here tonight.

Gil Ra Im:
What?

Kim Joo Won:
Why? I can't? People are normally expected to concoct a scandalous pretext in order to get close to each other.

Gil Ra Im:
Are you seriously out of your gourd? For real?

Kim Joo Won:
In everything else you embrace the brash and obvious, so why now are you completely clueless?

Kim Joo Won:
Tomorrow you will meet my lawyer, so brace yourself to hear about your most doomed and certain future, in stark detail.

Moon Boon-Hong:
What Joo Won is currently taking, it's not a sleeping aid - it's for depression? When did he begin taking this? How serious is it?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
I've already said this to you before: confidentiality between doctor and patient...

Moon Boon-Hong:
Shut up! Joo Won has never been an individual since the moment of his birth. Whatever happens to Joo Won affects the 30,000 people working for Loel Group. Don't you get that?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
His condition is not as serious as you think.

Moon Boon-Hong:
I'll be the judge of that!

Lee Ji-Hyun:
But I'm his doctor.

Moon Boon-Hong:
Is this America? When people discover you have your own psychiatrist, do you think they will look upon you as a normal person?

Kim Joo Won:
Having to wait outside your home for eight hours alone, that's nothing to me now. It was really cold last night. You didn't know. Look at me. Hm? I thought about it last night, about how I should apologize, but I don't know how to do it.

Gil Ra Im:
Don't know how? Really? Why? Because you can't apologize to a girl who has nothing at all to offer? How can you not know how to do something everyone else in the world knows how? What the merest child is capable of doing, how come you can't do it? Wherever I go I can always say "sorry," but you can't fathom what to apologize for? Your mother is truly something else. Not satisfied with ripping me apart in that luxurious home of yours, she has to visit my own home where I wake up and sleep, and vent her spleen at me. Now in my own living room, and for the rest of my life, I'll think about the incident that happened yesterday. I have to breathe, eat, joke around... and live with that, you know? So don't try impressing me with staying out here all night. You can... just leave my miserable reality alone. Just go away, and return to your fairy tale fantasy life, staying beautiful.

Gil Ra Im:
Sorry for all the noise, Director.

Lim Jong Su:
I don't know what's happened, but isn't hiding like this the worst way to resolve anything?

Yeun-Sul:
This party atmosphere has improved since last year.

Kim Joo Won:
How would you know it's improved since last year? I don't believe you received an invitation to last year's gathering.

Yeun-Sul:
I didn't. You're right, but since I came this year...

Kim Joo Won:
Ah...

Kim Joo Won:
[checking out her dress] Expensive label? Did Fairy Godmother provide it for you? You come here looking most beautiful, but as midnight approaches... you'll disappear?

Gil Ra Im:
It depends. It depends entirely upon you.

Gil Ra Im:
I wanted to come in. I could not so I waited outside, but then, my fairy godmother appeared and bid me tell you "I have come to see you." I swore upon my late father, as I stood before your irate mother, that I would not see you ever again. I thus turned my body away, but my heart wouldn't follow. Being with you will... knowingly be very difficult, but then... I think the pain of being with you will not be as sharp as not seeing you at all. I have come to see you.

[Ra Im awaits an answer from Joo Won but others keep interrupting]

Guy at Party:
Who's this? I haven't seen her before. Will you introduce us?

Kim Joo Won:
There's no reason you two'd ever cross paths in this lifetime. Go and play.

Guy at Party:
Why not? You never know in such a small world. Right?

Kim Joo Won:
You can't hope to meet someone like her. I swear, she is truly otherworldly. Of note, this woman can drive like a racing pro; if she comes across an injustice anywhere, she will jump into the fray and throw the first punch, without pause; she's without money, and her body is covered in bruises and cuts; and - if you can believe it - she hates men like us. That's her. I've never in my life seen such a rare woman like her before.

Gil Ra Im:
Everybody is watching us.

Kim Joo Won:
Undoubtedly. Their company president and a poor stuntwoman just locked lips. Anyone in sight of us holding shares of stock in our department store should go sell it immediately: The department store's president has fallen for a woman without connections, and is about to extinguish the acquisition-and-merger-through-marriage option.

Kim Joo Won:
Hey! Director Hwang! Why aren't you getting your office yet? You should claim your acquired right.

Hwang Jung-hwan:
My starting date isn't till January first.

Kim Joo Won:
All right, Mister-Not-Starting-Till-New-Years-Director-Hwang, does my Ra Im have anything else to do today ?

Gil Ra Im:
[covering his mouth] That's enough.

Kim Joo Won:
I'm about to take her out right now. Can you give me your permission?

Hwang Jung-hwan:
You have to... get that kind of permission from Director Lim.

Kim Joo Won:
No. I only believe in supporting the new authority around here.

[Joo Won has decorated Ra Im's apartment for Christmas]

Gil Ra Im:
Thank you. It's really very pretty, but it... looks cheap.

Kim Joo Won:
Yeesh! That tree is not some run-of-the-mill Christmas tree you'd think it to be!

Gil Ra Im:
Of course not. It's a special cultivar organically grown, with each needle manicured by the Forestry Department of Norway. Am I far off?

Kim Joo Won:
[realizing she's deliberately toyed with him] Whoa.

Gil Ra Im:
True charisma is the fear based on respect.

Hwang Jung-hwan:
[noticing a difference in Ra Im] Why's she like that? Did she get dumped by Mister-Makes-a-Lot-of-Money?

Lim Jong Su:
Let's find him and beat him up.

Hwang Jung-hwan:
What?

Sang Min:
As it's Christmas today, I have a lot I'd like to say. I'm using "Gil Ra Im" as an acronym to say it poetically.

Students:
Ohh...

Hwang Jung-hwan:
If you fail to make it funny or touching, I will expel you.

Lim Jong Su:
Who are you? You are not Gil Ra Im.

Gil Ra Im:
Actually, I'm... I'm not Kim Joo Won. I'm Gil Ra Im.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Stop! W-w-w-wait right there! What's this really about?

Gil Ra Im:
I know what I am telling you doesn't make sense, and I know it's something that can not be explained away scientifically, but, sincerely, I'm... telling you the truth.

Gil Ra Im:
[to prove he's Gil Ra Im to Lim Jong-Su] When you get phone calls in the middle of the night, the first words out of your mouth are always, "Which hospital are you at? Is he dead?"

Gil Ra Im:
Oska oppa thinks of me as a weird woman now.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
How in the world is this possible? Can you believe their story?

Lim Jong Su:
What else are we to do? If we can't accept it, then we must agree they've both gone insane. Frankly, that's far less acceptable.

Min Ah Young:
[gladly accepting Sung-Ho's gift of comfort boots] I really shouldn't wear these things.

Kim Sung-Oh:
Why?

Min Ah Young:
Don't you know? Boots make me look reeeally cute and adorable. Every eye can't help but turn to me and I feel very burdened by all the attention.

Kim Sung-Oh:
Oh... What to do? Though currently burdened by cuteness, take heart. People grow out of it fast.

[She shoots him a look]

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
[explaining his determination to take responsibility for past actions and apologize] Though right now she's Joo Won, Ra Im as Ra Im had said to me I'm much older than a bratty ten-year-old. I'm probably functioning... up to seventeen now, wouldn't you say?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
[checking through a detailed document of his past transgressions] Ah, let's see. The worst offenses are those with five stars and there are only two of them. It's you, Choi Dong Kyu. Is that true? And you, Yoo Jong Hun?

Yoo Jong-Hun:
We were both completely objective and unbiased.

Choi Dong-Kyu:
Five stars is a standard by which you can measure the remainder of this list fairly.

Kim Joo Won:
This is not something you can simply ask from me and receive. I understand what's in your heart, but how can I comply when I can't even get into an elevator?

Gil Ra Im:
You can't get in... an elevator?

Kim Joo Won:
Have you ever heard the term - claustrophobia?

Gil Ra Im:
"Being nervous in confined spaces," that?

Kim Joo Won:
It would be good if it were just about nerves, but for me it goes beyond nerves and into debilitating fear. Because of it, I can never ride in an elevator. I'd be certain to hyperventilate; my blood vessels would assuredly constrict. In a worst case scenario, I would fall victim to a heart attack. This... is a secret. You can tell no one.

Gil Ra Im:
What if, by some miracle, you really win the audition?

Kim Joo Won:
Are you a glutton for miracles? There's already been one miracle. A woman with no money, with no decent family background or good looks, becomes something very precious to a man who has everything. Isn't that miracle enough for you?

Kim Joo Won:
I recollect - from when I went "KYACK!" at you just a little while ago - that day on the mountain, did you really not scream for help?

Gil Ra Im:
Mountain? Where? JaeChun?

Kim Joo Won:
No, on Jeju Island. I really thought I heard you scream. Not only me, but Oska thought he heard you as well.

Gil Ra Im:
Really? You sure it was my voice? Not some animal?

Kim Joo Won:
I don't think so. I distinctly heard a woman's voice call out, and I thought it had to have been you.

Gil Ra Im:
It really was not me.

Kim Joo Won:
But thinking about THAT, didn't you find that restaurant peculiar as well? Our phones wouldn't work right, and that lady proprietor was strange, too. As I remember it... she only gave ME the chicken legs.

Gil Ra Im:
You polished those off in a hurry. Now that you mention it, it seems like that's where our troubles began. You remember those bottled drinks, and the one I told you to give to Oska?

Kim Joo Won:
Huh?

Gil Ra Im:
That night, did you give Oska that bottle?

Kim Joo Won:
I g-gave it. Why?

Gil Ra Im:
Did Oska drink it down?

Kim Joo Won:
Sure.

Gil Ra Im:
Sure?

Kim Joo Won:
Uh, yeah.

Gil Ra Im:
Really? Then I guess not. I thought our being like this might've been due to those flowered drinks. If that was the case, then it should have happened to Oska instead - it wouldn't have happen to the two of us - because... I drank the other bottle that night.

Kim Joo Won:
What?

Gil Ra Im:
Why?

Kim Joo Won:
Truthfully speaking, I actually... drank that bottle.

Gil Ra Im:
What? Just a moment ago you said you gave it to Oska!

Park Bong-Ho:
[martyrly] Sometimes the abandoned chair is too much for me to ignore.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Are you still trying to land Joo Won?

Yeun-Sul:
Wouldn't it be unnatural if I didn't? He's such an irresistibly fine catch.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
What is so irresistibly fine about him? Think you've seen the real him?

Yeun-Sul:
All the more reason for me to go and find out.

Lim Jong Su:
Where is that bastard right now?

Kim Joo Won:
He's right here.

Lim Jong Su:
What?

Kim Joo Won:
We returned this morning. It is true that we switch whenever it rains.

Lim Jong Su:
Then... you are saying that you're Kim Joo Won?

Kim Joo Won:
[smirking] You're happy to see me?

Lim Jong Su:
Yes. I AM happy. If you feel this is unfair, you can sue the Action School.

Kim Joo Won:
What?

[Jong-Su slaps Joo Won hard across the face]

Kim Joo Won:
[having been slapped] Be grateful I'm wise enough to see that you're an inferior neighbor, otherwise you would be meeting my lawyer.

Lim Jong Su:
Just shut it, before I beat you half to death.

Kim Joo Won:
I have a favor to ask you.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
[not knowing who's in Joo Won's body] And who are you? Ra Im? No, with such a rude manner, you must be Joo Won.

Kim Joo Won:
Ah, if only I could give a press release so I wouldn't have to keep explaining this. Yes, it's me. It rained earlier.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Do I look like the weather man? It's too insane. It's too insane. Set up a code word.

[Joo Won asks Oska to track down some information]

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
If I find out for you, what's in it for me?

Kim Joo Won:
What is it that you want?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Gil Ra Im.

Kim Joo Won:
You die.

Kim Joo Won:
I will thank you for this later.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
If that were at all sincere, you would have said it now.

Kim Joo Won:
Kim Sung-Oh!

Kim Sung-Oh:
[running over] Yes! Yes?

Kim Joo Won:
We're finished here, so let's go see who halted that elevator and terminate their lives.

Kim Joo Won:
I'll go straight to the heart of it. The situation with the stopped elevator... was it an accident?

Security Technician:
[very nervously] Yes.

Kim Joo Won:
Really? If I check through the security tapes, what would they reveal to me?

[No one responds]

Kim Joo Won:
I will ask again. The elevator stopping... was it an accident?

Park Bong-Ho:
It is better to be unemployed than to be a murderer.

Hwang Jung-hwan:
Let's order up some chicken... and leave her completely out of it?

Lim Jong Su:
[smiling] Are you trying to mess with me?

Hwang Jung-hwan:
[in mock seriousness] What's wrong? Didn't you get the memo? I'm the leader now.

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
I told you I only like guys.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
So who's stopping you? Go ahead! I'll keep on liking women!

Gil Ra Im:
Why do you let Joo Won win every argument all the time?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Oh! How do you know I let him win? Everyone else can plainly see I'm always just a poor victim here.

Gil Ra Im:
'Cause every time, your face betrays your inner happiness.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Ah, the more I hang around Ra Im, the more I'm shown her formidable excellence.

[In Korean forms of address, everyone is like family, and "oppa" signifies an older brother - not necessarily a blood relative - who looks out for a younger sister. Joo Won's jealousy is tweaked when Ra Im calls Oska her "oppa," designating him as an older male peer who looks out for her]

Kim Joo Won:
Starting today, your oppa is me.

Gil Ra Im:
What?

Kim Joo Won:
From now on, if you call anyone else oppa, I shall consider it cheating.

Hwang Jung-hwan:
[watching Ra Im enjoy Joo Won's discomfort in a flying harness] I wouldn't say they've broken up.

Lim Jong Su:
I should have struck him harder when I had the chance.

Hwang Jung-hwan:
You... You attacked him?

[Ra Im and Boon-Hong both come to know that Ra Im's father lost his life years ago in saving Joo Won's]

Moon Boon-Hong:
[dropping to her knees] I'll compensate you with money. I'll compensate you with a tremendous amount of money. No matter how much, I'll gladly give it, just, please, don't use this to entrap my son. Please just... let my poor Joo Won go now. Like this, I beg of you. I'll do everything you want, whatever that might be - more, bigger and greater - it's yours... just, not my Joo Won. He is not your soulmate. Please... Please, I beg of you.

[Ra Im is too overcome to speak]

Moon Boon-Hong:
[looking up] Answer me. Can't you see I've begged you?

Moon Boon-Hong:
[getting up angrily] I said that I would compensate you. I said that I would compensate you for your father's noble sacrifice! You see how I've come here like this - and you should have been ashamed at seeing me forced to grovel - yet you only cry and sob through it all. Will you only come to your senses once you really have nothing left and are thrown out in the street? Don't let your father's death be in vain. Break up with Joo Won, now, without hurting him. When you've finished it, come pick up your cash.

Hwang Jung-hwan:
[seeing how Joo Won went to extreme lengths to get Ra Im her second audition] Miss Ra Im, has Kim Joo Won any interests in men? Ah, for those benefits I could date him, too.

Gil Ra Im:
[as she and Yeun-Sul stand before a Picasso painting] For Kim Joo Won, and also for you, every feature of your extraordinary lives has been put entirely on display like this, but for me, in order for my life to have meaning, I have to keep myself invisible. Stuntwomen all live this way. Because of this disparity, our distance is great. Even next to me, Joo Won seems not really there.

Moon Boon-Hong:
[to Ra Im] The only flaw in my otherwise perfect and precious Joo Won is you!

Moon Boon-Hong:
If a child goes wrong, the parent has every right to go even more astray to correct him. That entitles me to do anything, even if it means having to break Joo Won.

Gil Ra Im:
You said it yourself, you would be my little mermaid. I ask now, please disappear. Vanish like bubbles.

Gil Ik Seon:
[voice-over] When the smoke is thick and the air is thin, when lives in the balance hang within, let me be ready when the call comes in. And if, Lord, according to your will, I must lose my only life, please bless, with your protecting hand, my children and my wife.

Kim Joo Won:
Then, let's take a picture... together.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Why would I want to take a picture with you? And you forget - I have portrait rights.

Kim Joo Won:
We haven't taken any pictures together since I was twenty-one. You're gonna regret it later on.

[last lines]

Kim Joo Won:
Don't you ever fall for any other guy. Just live alone thinking of me... for always. Don't think to get too close with Choi Woo Young either. That would be incest. They might say this was the most selfish decision I could have ever made, but it is the choice of a community leader, so please respect it. You're charming as always, Gil Ra Im. Even in future, you stay cool. I'm going to miss you... quite a lot. I love you. I love you.

[drives into the storm]

Moon Boon-Hong:
[unaware Ra Im is in her son's body] You are my Joo Won now. You were like someone else before.

Moon Boon-Hong:
[thinking she's talking to Joo Won, not Ra Im] Understand, there hasn't been a single moment when you didn't make your mother the most honored among women. I've been so proud. I was the happiest mother on the face of the Earth - up until you started slumming with that unworthy girl. I heard it was from association with her that you wound up in this sorry state. Your mother... can only overlook her son's foolishness so long. I want to be happy once again.

[Ra Im - inhabiting Joo Won's body - wants to go to Joo Won's side, but Oska would rather she didn't]

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
The vast love you two have for each other totally blows my lesser world away, but have consideration for the family about to lose a son and a cousin. I'm sorry. Ra Im, I shouldn't get upset with you, but consider, if Joo Won doesn't wake up, his mother... She will go out of her mind for sure if she hears you've run off so soon.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
[standing over Ra Im's body] You stupid jerk! How could you do this to us? How could...? How could you do such an inconsiderate thing? Is this woman of yours your only precious thing? You don't need your family, or anything else? One pair of shoes... You think just throw me them and leave? You said you switch when it rains, you know? Eventually the skies... will pour forth again... sometime. What is there for me to do then? Should I honor your choice, become a jailor, incarcerate Ra Im every time it rains? Is that what you expect of me? But what shall I do? I can't adhere to that game plan. Even with you despising me for it later, I can't protect her over you. Even if you cry, throw a tantrum - go crazy! - I choose to see you seething - a living brother once more.

Gil Ra-Im:
[after besting Boon-Hong's security team] They should wake up shortly. I avoided all the vital spots.

Kim Joo Won:
[Joo Woo's final letter to Ra Im] Keep my face shaved ever nicely, and dress me in the expensive cool clothing that I like wearing. I think we may consider this... as us being together.

Gil Ra Im:
[standing over Joo Won] I guess, between the two of us, one must take the mermaid's fate, so I'll become the foam. I'll welcome being foam.

Yeun-Sul:
[watching Oska on his fourth can of beer] Joo Won... he's all right? I heard he woke up.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Not yet.

Yeun-Sul:
But someone at the hospital said...

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
That's not my cousin. Not yet.

Yeun-Sul:
Could you explain that one to me?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
That guy was giddy, laughing his damn fool head off over and over, quite unlike himself. He was doubled up so hard, over a story not all that funny, like a lunatic. But it was... his farewell encore.

Yeun-Sul:
Can you tell me clearly so I can understand?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
On the whole, it felt good letting him win all the time, thinking I was the older brother and I was the adult, but then, how much older one is and how much more the adult... to die for someone else?

Yeun-Sul:
What exactly is the matter?

[Oska returns to his beer]

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Is he going to be okay? Is his amnesia permanent?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
We can't really call it amnesia. It's more like a response seen with mental shock. He's suddenly re-awakened inside the memories lost as a 21-year-old; in return, he's disassociated from all memories subsequent to his accident.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Then what'll become of him now? Will he not be able to function in society?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
You needn't worry about him on that point. Thankfully, he's accepted his present situation rather gracefully. Even more remarkable, he regards the whole circumstance with abject fascination.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Fascination? How so?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
Well, he always wanted to become an adult in a hurry; when he woke up he was one, just like in a movie.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
That's a relief.

Lee Ji-Hyun:
I told him he is currently president of the family department store. He said he was so happy that he was made head of the department store, rather than you.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
WHAT? That crud!

[Lee Ji-Hyun & Oska visit Joo Won]

Kim Joo Won:
She says I have a problem with my memory. She says I'm... thirty-four years old.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Yes, you are thirty-four years old. And I'm thirty-six years old.

Kim Joo Won:
You look that way without doubt, but no matter how I look at it, I just don't look thirty-four. How ever did I do it ?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
[to Lee Ji-Hyun] He was always an arrogant jerk, but he was most obnoxious at age twenty-one. We should favor society. Can't we lock him away somewhere?

Min Ah Young:
Do you want the rice in the soup?

Gil Ra Im:
Sure. Getting ill's okay with me right now.

Min Ah Young:
Don't you dare joke around 'bout things like that! Since you went into a coma, every time I set the table for dinner, tears just roll down my face.

Gil Ra Im:
Is that 'cause there's no one there to do the dishes?

Min Ah Young:
Stop being such a piece of snot!

Gil Ra Im:
How were you able to use the bathroom all alone? When you leaned out the door and called "Does it smell?" there was probably no one there to answer.

Min Ah Young:
Don't you dare consider getting hurt again! Next time I'll set fire to all your Oska posters!

Kim Joo Won:
[after Kim Sung-Oh leaves] They say I hand-picked him. Must have been out of a sense of pity.

Kim Joo Won:
Why go into stunt work ?

Gil Ra Im:
Oh, that's easy. There is a scent of lavender in my action.

Kim Joo Won:
Huh?

Gil Ra Im:
Trust your fortunate eyes. You're seeing the woman whom Kim Joo Won could definitely love.

Kim Joo Won:
What's this? Why did my leg move automatically like this? Is it possible... you kicked me before?

Gil Ra Im:
I told you that when you came to the hospital. Apparently, your body remembers more than you - Kim-becile.

Gil Ra Im:
I think I'll love you as a twenty-one-year-old, too.

Kim Joo Won:
Um... you will?

Moon Boon-Hong:
Are you a wall? Are you a cow? Are you a foreigner? Do you relish getting cursed? You willfully ignore your elders - you're evil, I say! Just evil!

Kim Joo Won:
[trying to fathom why they never consummated their relationship] Be honest. Wasn't it because your personal charms are rather sorely deficient?

Gil Ra Im:
Do you want to die? It's too bad when you survived, good sense couldn't?

Kim Joo Won:
Is this how you regularly treat me?

Gil Ra Im:
Only when you deserved it, which is really quite often.

Lim Jong Su:
I heard about you losing your memory.

Kim Joo Won:
So we two must have been close for you to know that much about me? That or... she'd been sleeping around on me?

Lim Jong Su:
You wanna get hit again?

Kim Joo Won:
Again? You mean to say you've hit me before? Ha. Your nerves must be made of steel.

Gil Ra Im:
[learning her part in Dark Blood has been given way] I wanted to do so well. I'm sorry.

Kim Joo Won:
I got it. I don't know what this is about, but if you're sorry you can compensate me for it later. You know, I'm pretty smart when it comes to calculations.

Yeun-Sul:
Just because you're clearly younger than me, you think you're more appealing?

[Without his adult memory, Joo Woo openly finds Yeun-Sul very attractive]

Yeun-Sul:
[as Joo Won exits] Too bad. We should have met when we were BOTH twenty-one.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
What? HEY!

[Joo Won enters wearing his old blue designer track suit]

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
You're back to wearing THAT thing? Some personal preferences... are truly frightening.

Kim Joo Won:
Hey, you. What's your opinion of this? Any thoughts?

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
You're not the only person in this world, you know. Why strive to be a public eyesore?

Kim Joo Won:
What? Who is THIS guy?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
He's the producer of my new seventh album, that's who.

Kim Joo Won:
What have the standards of Korean music come to? You're making a SEVENTH album?

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
It's your cousin who's single-handedly made crap out of the world of K-pop.

Kim Joo Won:
I don't need you to play the same tune as me. You say you're his producer.

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
As producer it's my job to make him rely on accurate evaluations.

Kim Joo Won:
Then if this outfit distresses you, it means you're looking at the world through distressed eyes. This means you can't form valid opinions with such sorry eyeballs as yours.

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
You want to argue fashion with a man whose style sense got him work as a professional model?

Kim Joo Won:
Do I look like someone with time to discuss trivialities with you? I own a department store.

Yeun-Sul:
If you're bored, go sing something.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Call the band!

Moon Boon-Hong:
[phoning] It's Mom. About that fireman you inquired after, do you still wish details about him?

Kim Joo Won:
Yes. What did you find out?

Moon Boon-Hong:
No, I knew of him before, but I was afraid of it upsetting you. You see... he passed away.

Kim Joo Won:
Why? Was it... because of me?

Moon Boon-Hong:
Hear me through, please. He was a widower firefighter... Gil Ik Sun, by name. He passed away leaving behind a daughter. You already know her: Gil Ra Im. She's probably before you right now, observing you.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
[seeing the seriousness that's come over him] What's wrong? Who's on the phone?

Kim Joo Won:
[ignoring Oska] Please continue.

Moon Boon-Hong:
You'll know all this again when you recover your memories, but... that scheming girl used her father's death as an excuse to get close to you. To make you cling dearly to her, she used her dead father to ensnare your sympathies and lock you in tight with guilt. Oh, son, I pray even now your sense of family duty will someday be enough to see through her scheme, Kim Joo Won.

Kim Joo Won:
[finding Kim Sung-Oh rather odd] Divine intervention got you hired.

Kim Joo Won:
[reading] "Then the Little Mermaid turned away to disappear as bubbles, to be gone forever; but at that moment, the prince realized the truth and said to the princess, 'Is this the best you can do? Are you sure? You don't think we can do better?' and broke off their arranged engagement. He then tried to assist the Little Mermaid, but she, knowing enough of bubbles to invent the air bubble washing machine, had became filthy rich. The prince, meanwhile, went broke due to his unrestrained investment habits, so he became the Little Mermaid's lowly secretary Kim, by and by, and happily lived a long, boring, un-extraordinary life." What is this? What crazy fool bothered to write down this silly thing? Huh? But this is my handwriting.

Moon Boon-Hong:
Upon hearing that you got all your memories back, your mom was so happy.

Kim Joo Won:
Really? ARE you happy? You're not running scared?

Moon Boon-Hong:
[hiding her sudden alarm] No... because I trust in my son.

Kim Joo Won:
I also trusted in my mother, but we both know she's been very atrocious lately. While you've been scrupulously unjust towards that girl and towards me, most of all you've been unjust towards yourself. How could you tell me such a boldfaced, injurious lie?

Moon Boon-Hong:
So what should that lie matter? She wouldn't stop taking away my son - she left me with no choice?

Kim Joo Won:
You're wrong. Although your reasons weren't always in the right, in all previously misguided actions, you more or less always maintained your dignity, and I could respect you for that; but, mother, in this last situation, you threw away that dignity, along with your son.

Moon Boon-Hong:
Kim Joo Won...

Kim Joo Won:
So from now on, I don't plan on living as a mother's son.

Moon Boon-Hong:
KIM JOO WON!

Kim Joo Won:
I'm really sorry, mother, but I've lived as your son for thirty-four years; now, for the rest of my life, I will live only as that woman's husband.

Kim Joo Won:
Do you just wear your head around to look tall?

[repeated lines]

Kim Joo Won:
[reciting in hopes of dispelling Ra Im from his thoughts] Kim Soo Han Moo Turtle and Crane, 3000 times 60, Dong Bang Sak, Chichikapo, Sarisarisenta, Woriwori, Seprika, Mudsela Cloud, Hurricane and Wall.

Screener:
A punk who doesn't line up is a bad punk.

[at the Action School auditions]

Hwang Jung-Hwan:
What's your specialty?

Kim Joo Won:
I'm good at earning money.

Hwang Jung-Hwan:
That's good, great, but instead of something we can't confirm, show us something here, now.

Kim Joo Won:
[holds out his wallet] I have lots of money. For your information, my hobby is spending money.

Hwang Jung-Hwan:
[admiring his cheek as his fellows applaud] Pass!

Lim Jong Su:
He's not strange at all. He's a man, and you're a pretty great woman.

Yeun-Sul:
[after Yoo Won rejects her a second time] Yes, my modern woman version may not always work, but there never was a man who didn't fall for my Harlequin version.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
You should neither refuse a woman coming your way nor hold back the one leaving you. You should be thankful for the one coming to you and even more thankful for the one leaving.

Kim Joo Won:
[on phone to Mother after latest blind date setup] When did I say I was not going to meet a woman? Just not a woman who babbles about destiny but one who will be a good mother and wife. Looks? Why are you wasting your breath? Of course she should be pretty... with a chic short haircut, dark-skinned, and she doesn't smile that...

Kim Joo Won:
[realizing he's describing Ra Im]... much. Someone who gets angry easily, with eyes that are a bit sad. Someone who can't run for Miss Korea because of a knife scar. AM I crazy?

Kim Joo Won:
[in a director's meeting] Just because I haven't been yelling recently, do you think that I've become sentimental?

[Action director Jong Soo has demoted Ra Im]

Hwang Jung-Hwan:
Look on the bright side. You should take this opportunity to rest, otherwise you'd never rest. Ah, but that kid didn't show up today, the "I'm good at earning money" kid. I liked him, and he had good reflexes.

Gil Ra Im:
How do you know whether he has good reflexes?

Hwang Jung-Hwan:
Didn't you see the way he spoke? He's a quick one.

[Ra Im scoffs]

Hwang Jung-Hwan:
[worried by a sudden thought] Did you, by chance, take him out yesterday and beat him up?

Gil Ra Im:
[to the new stunt class] You all know that the work that we do does not make us a lot of money or make us famous. Even though our more veteran stuntmen can give you the know-how, they can't give you money or honor. Some people might call us extras, others might call us stunt people, but, whatever they say, we are Action Actors. That one and only pride is the only thing we have, but because of that pride, we can become disabled or even die. If you aren't entirely sure that this is the life for you, you can quit right away. You may think I'm threatening you, but that is a sincere statement.

Gil Ra Im:
Do you kick the ball with your mouth?

Moon Boon-Hong:
What parent wouldn't do everything in its power to see its child truly happy in life? But you're not after happiness right now. Not at all. Carnal desires have you, which'll only lead you down into a temporary, shallow and cheap passing fancy. Everyone faces these moments, at least once in their lifetime. It's what I was pulled into with your father. But in the end, one person gets tired and leaves the other. That's not for the likes of us. Why do you not know this?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
Miracles... they're a myth. It's just... there are some occurrences that haven't been explained by medical science yet.

Lim Jong Su:
As to Gil Ra Im, I'd hoped to be her father, her older brother and her only man, but now... it's your job to do. Be Gil Ra Im's father, her brother, her man. Please be those.

Kim Joo Won:
If I refuse? I only want to be Gil Ra Im's man. I know I will be pretty good at that, but her father and older brother can be your jobs. Don't make her an orphan. Please. I ask you.

Kim Joo Won:
I've decided to become your husband today.

Gil Ra Im:
[a little stunned] With whose permission?

Kim Joo Won:
With no one's say-so but my very own. Gil Ra Im, you've ten minutes left, after that you're all mine. Do you have any last requests?

Gil Ra Im:
You jerk. Marrying me, without so much as saying something like "I love you."

Kim Joo Won:
Now, why should I do that? It's not like I'm marrying you because you're just some girl I love.

Gil Ra Im:
For what, then? If this is another example of a wealthy man's charity...

Kim Joo Won:
How truly dense you can be at times. This isn't at all because I love you. It's because you're the ONLY one I love. If it can't be you, then I have no other options to turn to - you amazing woman.

Kim Joo Won:
No flowers, no candles, no wine, not even a ring for your finger. Despite this, would you still be my wife?

Kim Joo Won:
[asked what he thinks of Snow White] The simple tale of an upper class woman, taking care of seven small men who are all alienated neighbors. After getting kissed by an upper class man, she bails on the alienated men in a heartbeat.

Gil Ra Im:
Wrong. Then what about Sleeping Beauty?

Kim Joo Won:
The story of an elite layabout whose habit creates such an issue with the community that they do her work in finding an upper class boyfriend. The lesson provided there: Stick with one thing long enough and your dreams will surely come true.

Gil Ra Im:
Wow.

Kim Joo Won:
Now that I think about it, since they were princesses and quite pretty, the princes fell for them right away - how did you snag me with such a face as yours?

Kim Joo Won:
When a man flirts with a girl, what words will he not say?

Moon Chang-Soo:
[angry with Joo-Won marrying untraditionally, and indicating his current wife Park Bong-Hee] Listen, I had to agree to three arranged marriages before I could finally have her! Why should you be exempt?

Moon Chang-Soo:
[to Park Bong-Hee] Young adults these days only care about themselves. They're so selfish.

Park Bong-Ho:
[showing his updated resume with profile photo in the corner] How's this? The smile I induced by laughing. Does it make me look like someone you'd hire?

Team Manager Choi:
I think it looks like... a farmer from the outback trying to find a wife.

[Hwang Jung-hwan brings three buddies into Joo Won's office]

Kim Joo Won:
What IS this about?

Hwang Jung-hwan:
Oy! We hear our filthy rich Joo-Won got married without the trouble of having a wedding. Shall we sit down over there?

Kim Joo Won:
Running over here to get up in my face every time you hear something, does this have to be your school's tradition?

Hwang Jung-hwan:
[leering] All right. So you are saying you already stamped the documents, right? You've already caught the fish, right? Hey, guys...

[the three buddies produce bats and a length of wood from behind them]

Kim Joo Won:
[recognizing this as the Korean tradition of whacking a groom's bare feet while his feet are tied together] Wow. You guys look serious? Oh. Care to sit?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Using my music as an excuse to get a girl's phone number, you would be the first.

Kim Joo Won:
[on married life] To my great surprise, I discovered myself to be... quite adept at being childish.

Son 1:
Buy me a new metal top.

Son 2:
[repeating] A new metal top.

Daughter:
[echoing] A new metal top.

Gil Ra Im:
You heard me say no. How many you already have? If you really want another, use your own cash.

Son 1:
I don't have the money right now, Mom, so you will have to give me a lone.

Kim Joo Won:
This peanut's already talking to us about loans. We know you can't show us any credit or guarantor. How can we lend you any money?

Son 1:
[crying] I'm gonna tell my Grandmommy on you both!

Kim Joo Won:
Go ahead. Once upon a time I used to trust in your grandmother and your great-grandfather, but I ended up stabbed in the back.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
To the woman who, for fifteen years, stayed at the top of my life's billboard chart, my number one hit song, Yeun Sul.

Park Jae-Rin:
[seeing Joo Won drag off Ra Im] His taste is so weird. Why does he like someone who is so tacky, like her?

Hwang Jung-hwan:
You must be angry because, actually, you're the tacky one.

Kim Joo Won:
[before eating from Joo Won's private banquet] If you don't plan on praying, can I put the candles out.

[She snuffs out all three candles with her spoon]

Kim Joo Won:
[astounded] During meals, it's natural to light candles.

Gil Ra Im:
For me, what's natural would be three beers and a fruit plate.

Kim Joo Won:
[to Ra Im] To be honest, you are surprised because you thought I was jobless, but I'm much better than what you thought. All of a sudden, I'm looking different, right? I'm better-looking and taller than before. Ah! That track suit must have been expensive. I'm feeling very sorry before him.

Gil Ra Im:
You told me when I was angry I looked pretty, so I won't do that from now on.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
I've been curious from the start. What does it feel like to be more beautiful than a rose?

Kim Joo Won:
[about Gil Ra Im] She doesn't seem to have a good education and always uses swear words. Sometimes she's violent. Have you ever dated a woman like that?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
You're driving me crazy. Of course! Park Jae-rin used to be like her! So what?

Kim Joo Won:
That's impressive. At least Gil Ra Im is cool. Then, let's say you got beat up by a girl - but have you ever liked it?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
What?

Kim Joo Won:
Like you feel you could take more, even. You even kind of expect it. You know, that kind of strange feeling?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
[sighs in exasperation] That's why people who have higher education are even more perverted.

Lim Jong Su:
That suit looks better on you than the tracksuit.

Kim Joo Won:
That doesn't mean that I don't look good in a tracksuit.

Kim Joo Won:
How many times am I going to be scolded for buying people just one meal?

Yeun-Sul:
I don't know if I should tell you this, but, as always, I'm the one who decides whether I see someone again or not.

Kim Joo Won:
Have you ever seen someone like me like a woman like you? Do you think that makes any sense realistically? I think you're mistaken. If I piled up the pics of the women with good education, family background and looks who want to marry me, it would be as tall as a building; but, with your family, education, skills and age, you don't have one thing that's good. By any chance you have anything, raise your hand.

[Ra Im does nothing]

Kim Joo Won:
See? You don't have one.

Kim Joo Won:
You're a completely weird woman - but that's exactly the problem, that is. You're so weird that I find you... puzzling and amazing.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
I'm sorry. I guess, since I have six packs and am muscular, I overuse my strength.

Gil Ra Im:
Should I hit you like I always do or should I leave here with a hurt expression that will remain in your heart for a long time? But even if I did any of that, I won't get anything in return, so I'll just settle for the vacuum cleaner. It's not like it'll break down if a woman with a lousy education and a lower class family uses it, is it?

Kim Joo Won:
I tolerate difference in race, skin color, religion, sexuality, but I can't stand looking shabby. What's with that face? Shabbiness is your hobby and filthiness is your philosophy.

Lim Jong Su:
Why are you so down?

Gil Ra Im:
I'm not.

Lim Jong Su:
You've become a good liar these days.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Why do you work for me?

Yoo Jong-Hun:
Do I look like I work for you?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Do you want to die?

Kim Sung-Oh:
You are saying horrible things to the creatures who look sad because their necks are long.

Moon Yeon-Hong:
Isn't it possible to get plastic surgery for your personality?

Kim Joo Won:
At our department store, C.E.O. means the abbreviation for "Sh*t is Our Boss." I've heard that. If some employee says that to my face, I might promote him - then I would look cool, right? It's the kind of thinking Westerners do. My type is rare in Korea.

Park Bong-Ho:
You might hate me, but what's wrong with my sister? Compared to that stunt woman you hang out with at the department store, my sister is far more educated and proper.

Park Bong-Ho:
Once I step on someone, I thoroughly do it.

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
Do you not see me working right now? Get lost.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
[laughs derisively] Just use your common sense and think who's busier, now: I am a Korean wave star!

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
Look here, Mr. "Korean Wave Star," this coming seventh album - isn't it important to you? You're on the brink of going stale. Why are you here wasting your time?

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
I don't want to sign any contract, and if I did it wouldn't be with you. I told you your music sucked.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Hey! Which part in particular? Sound, melody, session or my voice during live performance?

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
You've copied the sound from American pop, just made some tweaks; the melody is too commercial - and the sessions? It's all computers. Can you even call it sessions? Also, when you sing live, it's fake, right? You pretend to sing live with the recording from the studio, no?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
I don't think so!

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
Bullshit.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Hey! Did you sign up for my anti-fan club?

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
You want to scout me; however, you're not the person who can train someone. You're the one who wants to shine on your own. I don't want to be a sidekick.

Lim Ah Young:
A woman's life depends on the brand of her bags.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
[calling from the police station] As you know, I'm the kind of person who... the kind of person who sleeps with women, but I'm not the kind of person who insults women, right?

Kim Joo Won:
Of course I know. I also know it shouldn't go into the press - and you don't like jails, either. Most of all, I know you've turned my department store's event into a huge mess; however, you also know I won't let you out without any conditions.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Are you really going to be like this?

Kim Joo Won:
Shall I stop being like this? Then, have you thought about what you can do for me?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Have you ever asked me for my opinion? Just tell me what you want!

Kim Joo Won:
Later. As usual, look forward to it.

Gil Ra Im:
Jerk.

Kim Joo Won:
THAT'S the woman I know.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
What kind of relationship do you two really have?

Kim Joo Won:
In all the world there are about 230 countries, and I happen to speak five of their languages. Be that as it may, I've yet to come across the word to describe our relationship, exactly.

[Both Ra Im and Oska are both annoyed with Joo Won]

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Let's make a toast without him.

Gil Ra Im:
Sounds good.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Here's to the nights of Jeju before us, and to your eyes, which are more mysterious and beautiful than the night. Cheers!

[Joo Won chokes on his food]

Gil Ra Im:
[laying it on thick for Joo Won's discomfort] Could the reason for the beauty in my eyes be due to the dazzling star who journeyed down from heaven to sit in front of me?

[Joo Won chokes on his water]

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Ah, oh my! You've outted me. If I'm too bright for your eyes, please let me know. I shall turn around for you.

Gil Ra Im:
Oh! No! I would rather have my eyes blinded.

[Joo Won drops his fork]

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
[pointing up Oska's self-deluded arrogance in offering himself as a mentor] The performer who blithely takes away another performer's venue as a joke could teach WHAT, to WHOM?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Also, I never messed with your stage performance, nor have I messed with the performances of any other artist on the stage. I have never once looked down on ANY performer... because everybody else is better than me. You said for me to be honest - and that took as much effort to say as coming out here.

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
I... like men.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
What?

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
I'm gay.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Huh? You're talking crazy. What, are you that desperate to get rid of me? Is this some trendy idea to push me away?

Gil Ra Im:
What kind of a person spends $100,000 at department stores every year? What's the huge difference between me and them?

Kim Joo Won:
Even if I tell you, you wouldn't understand.

Gil Ra Im:
Are you planning to explain it in English? Try just saying it. I'll be one to understand.

Kim Joo Won:
How much do you have in your bank account?

Gil Ra Im:
Not much, why?

Kim Joo Won:
That's it. That's the difference.

Gil Ra Im:
What?

Kim Joo Won:
You know how much you have in the bank. Unlike you, they have no idea how much they have in their accounts. Their bank balances increase every second, nationally as well as oversees. That's the easiest thing to understand so far. Now, do you know what comes from economic inequality? Social hierarchy. In spending $100,000 a year, they want only two things: unfairness and discrimination. If they can't rule, they at least want a segregated world for themselves. That is their presumed entitlement and their collective perspective.

Gil Ra Im:
Are you also like that?

Kim Joo Won:
There's no reason for me not to be.

Lim Jong Su:
Where are you staying?

Gil Ra Im:
You don't have to worry about that. There's a sauna within twenty minutes of here.

[Note:
"jjimjilbang" is a Korean dry sauna, a very cheap place to stay overnight - somewhat similar in appeal to American YMCA's or European hostels]

Kim Joo Won:
What? Sauna?

Lim Jong Su:
Have you always been such a thoughtless hooligan or, now that you've had a few experiences, do you feel you can ignore what I say?

Kim Joo Won:
Tell me, there is an old man inside you, isn't there?

Gil Ra Im:
I have a few.

Kim Joo Won:
By the bye, let me hug you once.

Gil Ra Im:
What?

Kim Joo Won:
Like you said, there are only two types of girls for me: the type you marry, and the type with whom you play around and then leave - but you're somewhere between these two types, so let me hug you once.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
What's your problem? Why are you acting so crazy? Did you have a nightmare? Did the stocks go down?

Gil Ra Im:
Where did I go? Me... I was here for sure yesterday! Where am I right now?

Kim Joo Won:
No matter how I think about it, I don't think this is a problem we can figure out medically or scientifically.

Man:
To you, young one, I feel a bit bad. This is the only way that I can save my daughter. It's a terrible and horrible way, but I hope you will understand.

[Joo Won and Ra Im try a kiss to "break the spell" - a good long one - but it doesn't work]

Kim Joo Won:
T-tell me honesty. You wanted to kiss me, which is why you tried this, right?

Gil Ra Im:
Are you crazy? You didn't want to go to the hospital, you didn't want to go to a temple... We had to try at least SOMETHING! Do you want to continue living like this?

Kim Joo Won:
What if we did? I'd want to die, but what would be so bad about it for you?

Gil Ra Im:
Do you really think that way?

Kim Joo Won:
Yes.

Gil Ra Im:
Me, too. If I have to go through life this way, might as well go through it as a rich guy - but you're gonna live the life of a "poor and lowly neighbor."

Kim Joo Won:
To be honest, I felt like saying "I'm good-looking," but I suppressed the urge. That's how well-mannered I am. How could I look so peaceful and handsome by just sitting? - however, I didn't say anything. That is how sharp I am.

Kim Joo Won:
Where do you think you're touching?

Gil Ra Im:
It's my body, so I can touch it!

Choi Dong-Kyu:
I think, in truth, you want to see Yeun Sul. You don't think I know you? That I don't know Yeun Sul? Why do you both pretend like nothing happened? You should either start over or just stay cool, finish the production and end it altogether. Moping around gutlessly demeans a man.

Kim Joo Won:
Put these on. Don't roll up the sleeves, they'll sag; don't put anything in the pockets, ruins the lines; don't just sit anywhere. If you stain my clothes, I will let you know what bloody revenge is.

Moon Boon-Hong:
I've heard that you visit Joo Won's house often. Is it true? What is the reason?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
Joo Won's been having some insomnia, likely from stress.

Moon Boon-Hong:
So why call you? Did he want you to sleep with him?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
I came by his house only as a trained psychiatrist. I went for no other reason.

Moon Boon-Hong:
Does he take medicine, sleeping pills or something?

Lee Ji-Hyun:
According to medical law, I can't reveal private details. I'm sorry.

Moon Boon-Hong:
This is the part of you that I've always hated.

Moon Yeon-Hong:
[to Boon-hong] He said he prescribed something to Father for fertility.

Moon Yeon-Hong:
[to the Doctor] Fortune tellers told us Dad'll never have a son. Look at us. We're both just daughters.

Moon Boon-Hong:
Don't you know Father by now? He'll keep trying till the bitter end.

Moon Yeon-Hong:
Then, Doctor, do you have anything I can drink to ruin glowing porcelain skin? Something chocolate or banana milk colored? Something to turn one all sickly yellow and dark, even make one gain weight? Anything that can make you look older and ugly enough to - chchchc - make flowers wither away?

Doctor:
Your step-mother's beauty won't go away that easily. Leave. I'm busy.

Kim Joo Won:
I understand what you're trying to say. Let's go talk over there while I grab a cigarette.

Lim Jong Su:
You... smoke... too?

Kim Joo Won:
Ah. That's right. I don't smoke. Fine, coffee then. Let's go.

Kim Joo Won:
Director... Director, you just got caught red-handed.

Lim Jong Su:
What do you mean?

Kim Joo Won:
Caught liking me, but it seems like you still haven't admitted it.

Yeun-Sul:
Haven't you ever felt like dying because of a girl?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
I haven't.

Yeun-Sul:
You haven't?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
I said I haven't.

Yeun-Sul:
Then I'll inform you: Not being able to sleep or eat is just basic. Waking is pure torture, because you can't understand how the love of your life became a stranger. You can't even tell anyone else because you don't want them thinking your lover's a bad person, so you cry by yourself. You're through, you're done, but only the memories of good times and love return. The more you try to erase them, the longer the days get, and you feel like you're breaking up with them 365 days a year; but, what hurts most of all is thinking that they're not even thinking about you. You feel alone in this. That person has already forgotten about you and is now happy. You really wish you were dead but don't have the courage to follow through because you're afraid you won't... ever get to see him again. That's how it is... when you break up.

Yeun-Sul:
As you heard before, I had enough practice in love and romance, and now I'm done. So, Kim Joo Won, you should finish up too and come... to me.

Yeun-Sul:
[finding Joo Won and Ra Im struggling with each other] I must have critically misjudged you, Kim Joo Won. I know you're from a different class than me, and that we often don't see eye to eye, but I never suspected you were the type to trade family, reputation and wealth for sex.

Kim Joo Won:
Being sick on a plane I'm used to, but never while flying economy class.

Gil Ra Im:
[told to quit the Action School] How is it that YOUR job is important and mine isn't even considered work?

Kim Joo Won:
[scoffs] There's no comparison.

Moon Boon-Hong:
[thinking Ra Im's been sleeping with Joo Won] This is why you should never pity the poor, especially those apt to sleep their way up the social ladder.

Kim Joo Won:
You seem prone to forget that you're no longer a stuntwoman. Bear in mind, you're the president of a department store now.

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
I wondered how you could be so popular even though you're not a good singer. You're a public sleeze.

Han Tae sun 'Ssun':
With your apparent talents, would you consider doing music a big favor? Just stick to acting.

Kim Joo Won:
Are you saying you used my hands to make that jerk food?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Hasn't Joo Won mentioned The Little Mermaid yet? That idiot thinks The Little Mermaid is the last word in definitive female behavior.

Lee Joon-Hyeok:
For men, pretense and sincerity are the same thing. Do you think Choi Woo Young is any different? Want me to prove that he's no different?

Gil Ra Im:
If you don't wish to find yourself in a shroud handsewn by the most decrepit and near-blind master tailor I can find, just shut up and drive.

Kim Joo Won:
What are you gonna do about my dirtied lips? You desecrated their value and ruined their untarnished history.

Gil Ra Im:
[an inner thought, observing the behavior of rich people] Wherever they go, they forever point out what they own.

Yeun-Sul:
[to "Joo Won" in front of Oska and "Ra Im", deliberately using a phrase to dig at Oska] The sunset here is so beautiful. It's like an uninhabited island where no one lives.

Gil Ra Im:
It's a shame. I should have been cheezier.

Yeun-Sul:
I trust more in what people say behind my back than what they say to my face.

Kim Joo Won:
Why are you here alone?

Yeun-Sul:
Why should that puzzle you? You've been popping up everywhere I go since Jeju Island. Are you after Choi Woo Young or Kim Joo Won? Can you at all elucidate?

Kim Joo Won:
I solemnly vow that I'm entirely for Kim Joo Won.

Yeun-Sul:
Great! Then can you get the hell away from Choi Woo Young?

Kim Joo Won:
Now now, why use such an ugly word? Wouldn't it have been better to say, "Would you keep your distance from Choi Woo Young?" It seems you have no more class than Gil Ra Im.

Yeun-Sul:
What did you say?

Kim Joo Won:
You heard me. Your riposte isn't that clever. I'm hungry, so let's eat. You invited guests but haven't been attending them well, not surprisingly.

Gil Ra Im:
Oh. Your cheeks are red. Are the winds too cold?

[Places his hands on her cheeks]

Gil Ra Im:
[flirtatiously] Do you feel... warm now?

[Taken aback, Yeun-Sul merely nods]

Kim Joo Won:
What are you doing? Get your hands off!

[Noting Ra Im's discomfort, Yeun-Sul smiles and places her hands on Joo Woo cheeks, much to "his" surprise]

Yeun-Sul:
I don't want to be... warm all by myself.

Kim Joo Won:
Both of you, take your hands off!

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Let's go scrub ourselves until we're newborns!

Yoo Jong-Hun:
This is the guy Woo Young wanted as an apprentice, but he totally blew us off. Shall I tie him up?

Park Bong-Ho:
There is only one thing that would make a man a woman's slave. She's either gotten pregnant, or has been pregnant... or is about to get pregnant.

[Joo Won and Ra Im are happy at having finally switched back to their own bodies]

Kim Joo Won:
However, how'll you fix this?

[holds up his handcuffed wrists]

Gil Ra Im:
Ah. Right. You know, to have switched back at this precise moment, there really must be a god at work here.

Kim Joo Won:
What do you mean?

Gil Ra Im:
"Good over evil." "Live in the house you build." "Be careful what you say." You've heard these things before, right? "I'll never let you out. Reflect on what you've done" - Who uttered THOSE words?

Kim Joo Won:
Well...

Park Bong-Ho:
It seems a sexual harassment issue cropped up between a customer and one of our employees, surely the fault of the female employee because...

Park Bong-Hee:
What kind of nonsense are you making up?

Moon Chang-Soo:
Huh?

Park Bong-Hee:
In a question of sexual harassment, when the victim feels unwanted sexual advances, regardless of the situation, it's always considered sexual harassment. Why do you consider it an overreaction? Additionally, could any man just stand by and watch? If I thought about it for a hundred years, I'd find President Kim made the right call.

Park Bong-Ho:
Sis, that's not the only...

Park Bong-Hee:
Be still! And if you've nothing necessary to speak of, then go home.

Kim Joo Won:
Why are you still standing here? Shouldn't you have gotten the car by now?

Kim Sung-Oh:
We don't have one, sir. We rode in together in the police cab, if you remember.

Kim Joo Won:
What? Then what have we been waiting in the rain all this time for, Santa Claus? If we don't have a car, then you should have been summoning another! People are staring at us!

Kim Sung-Oh:
People wouldn't be staring if you didn't yell.

Kim Joo Won:
Look at you. Have I been a bit soft on you of late? Now that I'm obviously a bit put out, you think it a good time to back talk me? You are so dead.

Kim Joo Won:
You have a weird habit of expressing thanks in unfortunate terms.

Kim Joo Won:
[during an intimate moment] About your offer to pay the settlement costs, I think it's a great idea. I really like that. Shows a responsible attitude. Come by my office tomorrow. We can decide whether monthly installments or a single lump sum is best. Bye-bye.

Yeun-Sul:
Who was that woman before, that uncultured twip I saw earlier with Kim Joo Won?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
I said not to speak of her that way! She's my guest. Don't you know what that means? She's the woman that I'm seeing.

Yeun-Sul:
Liar. That woman is not your type.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Couldn't be worse than you.

Kim Joo Won:
I've been quite out of myself these last few days. You can't imagine how profoundly so I was.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Are you drunk?

Kim Joo Won:
It may be hard to believe, but the person you saw - that wasn't me.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Are you on drugs?

Kim Joo Won:
It wasn't me. I may have seemed unduly concerned for your welfare, but for your sake it'd be best to toss those memories completely aside.

Kim Joo Won:
[noting the new attitude in his staff] Why are they like that?

Kim Sung-Oh:
You became a hero when you punched that guy in the face yesterday.

Kim Joo Won:
People love violence way too much.

Kim Joo Won:
About this... Christmas event idea, is it possible for me to ask whose idea it was?

Park Bong-Ho:
Our whole department took part in the idea.

Kim Joo Won:
"On Christmas Eve, with snow's arrival, our store shall warm loving couples with plenty of free giveaways." It's the same idea trotted out every year, which sounds just as good as ever but shows a marked lack of imagination behind it. You don't find this concept overused and stale?

Park Bong-Ho:
It'll be somewhat difficult for us to change now. You yourself already green-lighted the idea.

Kim Joo Won:
That's why I asked, with an apologetic look on my face, "Is it possible for me to ask..." Couldn't you pick up on my conscientious regret?

Hwang Jung-hwan:
[with Ra Im training hard at the Action Center] Why are you confusing us like this? Did you get dumped by "I earn a lot of money?" Your financial support must be gone. Is that why you've come back to work here again? You said you wouldn't do this anymore. You said it was for dummies who could only use their bodies; so, did you just become dumb again?

Gil Ra Im:
You just let me say those things to you? You should have killed me.

Hwang Jung-hwan:
Are you saying I can kill you now?

Gil Ra Im:
No, it's too late NOW!

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Twenty-five years ago I was ten years old, fifteen years ago I was twenty, five years ago I was thirty, and then five more years passed, but I still feel as if I'm a ten-year-old. Why am I still such a kid?

Gil Ra Im:
You are no kid. Real kids... always feel they're much older than they are.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
Miss Ra Im, you're really cool... even cooler than I first thought... truly.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
[about Kim Joo Won] He is my cousin according to the family registry, but in fact he is more. If I buy a sports car, he has to buy a sports car dealer. If I buy a yacht, he would buy all the land around that dock. To summarize, in comparison to me - to whom you'll soon be saying, "Hey, you total jerk!" - he is a hundred times more evil than I am.

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
I want to be remembered as a sweet man up to the last moment.

Kim Joo Won:
The way you walk shows your personality type, and your perspective on art shows your level of refinement. Whether you belong in an art museum or a club, whether your taste in perfume reveals wildness or subtlety, I can tell right away. Would you like a drink?

Kim Joo Won:
[sizing up and dismissing Yeun-Sul] If you're the "hot-blooded" type that chooses the idiot over the prince charming, then I'll pass. Shall I tell the family I was dumped? Then let's make that our story.

Yeun-Sul:
He's the first man who hasn't fallen for my modern woman act.

Yeun-Sul:
[looking at others in the VIP lounge] How blatantly typical, acting like rich daughters-in-law. They should wear designer clothes, not bury themselves in it.

Gil Ra Im:
[after rescuing her store-worker friend's name tag from "the garbage"] You're going to throw this away, right?

[takes Yeun-Sul's purse, throws the name tag into it, slams the purse back into Yeun-Sul's chest]

Yeun-Sul:
Are you crazy? What do you think you're doing?

Gil Ra Im:
Because I think that's the garbage can.

Gil Ra Im:
[kidding about her comparison to leading actress Park Jae-Rin] The lighting team says I'm about 125-times prettier. Why did my mother make me so pretty? I only use free lotion samples, but my skin's so clean and tight. Anything looks good on me. I thought it would get better if I got older, but now I even have that maturity to add to beauty. Drives me nuts. The more I think about it, my mother was pretty.

Park Bong-Ho:
This is a project proposal for the autumn annual sale.

Kim Joo Won:
I didn't even sit down yet.

Park Bong-Ho:
The personnel are impatient, so please understand.

Kim Joo Won:
If it's that urgent, why didn't you authorize it already? You still can't copy my signature?

Kim Joo Won:
Is this the best strategy? Are you certain?

Bong-Ho's Aid:
We're not entirely certain. Which part don't you like, specifically?

Kim Joo Won:
How could I know that? I've only seen the title. If it's not the best and you're not certain, then you should redo it.

Choi Dong-Kyu:
[trying to explain why no professional director wants to work with him] Don't you feel anything?

Choi 'Oska' Woo Young:
[rubbing his pectorals] I do. My chest's sagging a bit.

Kim Joo Won:
[looking through Bong Ho's revised proposal] Is this the best option? Are you sure?

Park Bong-Ho:
Yes, sir.

Kim Joo Won:
Really? The contents are the same as Spring's. You just changed the cover.

Park Bong-Ho:
The same thing goes on every year. There's only so much we could do by offering lotteries.

Kim Joo Won:
What are you going to do if there's more than what you call so much? Do YOU want to try out some lottery event just to get a small car for a prize? You wouldn't, would you? You drive a much better car with what I pay you. Then, can't you come up with something more provocative and sensational? Do you think we will get richer if we exploit people who scrape up their piggy banks to enter the lottery and win a small car? If it were up to me, instead of a car, fridge or a vacuum, I would get what top star Song wore to the airport; offer the coat, purse or watch she wore as the prize. Why? Vain women's wallets are easier to open than petty housewives' purses. There's more money to spend there, too. It'll keep your wallet fat as well. What do you think?

Park Bong-Ho:
You haven't said anything wrong, as usual.

Kim Joo Won:
What's your problem? Why did you kick me?

Gil Ra Im:
Why do you think I kicked you?

Kim Joo Won:
I asked because I was really curious. Why do you have to use violence? I'm not the type of person who looks down on people who aren't smart.

Gil Ra Im:
Good for you. Be thankful I hurt my arm today. I would have killed you otherwise.

Kim Joo Won:
If you are okay, then why are you shaking? Is it because this is the first time seeing such a handsome man like me? I don't want you to misunderstand. I am not doing this because I care about you. This is what high class people do. Kind of a charity act. I was raised this way; so, even if you are nervous to death around me, bear it out, otherwise I'll throw you away.

[lifts and carries Ra Im into the hospital]

Kim Joo Won:
[watching Ra Im exit] She moves from arm to arm.

Kim Joo Won:
Where did you learn your manners? I haven't finished talking. Why aren't you taking a cab?

Gil Ra Im:
What's that got to do with you? Do you work for the cabbie union?

Kim Joo Won:
Why do you keep making up stories about my life? You made me into some country bumpkin, Oska's errand boy... Now are you giving me a job at the cabbie union?

Gil Ra Im:
If not, then what?

Kim Joo Won:
I already asked you. Why aren't you taking a taxi?
