"She's always like that." "No, it's OK." "I didn't mind going." " Really?" " Sure." "Dad, do you really trust me?" "Of course." "How can you answer so easily?" "I'm sorry, but can I say something?" "Sure, go ahead." "My parents and my grandfather never trusted me at all." "But they... covered for me." "I don't really like the word "trust."" "Sorry, I know it's not my place." "No, it's fine." "That's not what I'm saying." "Why didn't you hit me, get mad at me?" "There was no point in hitting you." "Don't cry." "Why cry over that?" "Anyway, I'll be going." "Thanks for dinner." "I'll be going." "You're going?" "Stay the night here." "Sleep here." "It's late." "Breakfast isn't breakfast, without pickled vegetables." "You have to have pickles with every meal."

"This is fun." "That scroll came from here, my father told me." "OK, I'll do it." "OK, I'll be serious, too." "You really want to see it?" "With my shoes off." "Really?" "Yeah, like on a stage." "The thread stretched on and on." "Winding it endlessly," "Like a spider spinning its web," "I made my way through the woods," "To a shrine at the foot of the mountain." "The thread stopped at the branch of a cedar." "What chagrin filled my heart!" "This was the one had vowed my love." "Three turns of the spindle of thread remained." "I'd better go." "Good-bye." "You know, I treasure Hatsuko." "What a day!" "Now I know why I came running here." "You hugged me like this, but I couldn't hug you back." "Then I remembered." "I have been hugged like this before." "Really tight." "You've been hugged like this too." "When you have been, you can do it too." "The sky's so blue." "I want to see your face." "Can I?" "The Line 1 train will arrive shortly."

"Should I not have come?" "I'm arguing with my mother." "You can't come in now." "You should've let me know." "Why are you arguing?" "I spent some of her savings and she found out." "She hit the roof." "Do you have a cigarette?" "You know I don't smoke!" "Oh, that's right." "What am I going to do with you?" "I can't go in, can I?" "Don't be silly." "You came all this way." "Can you wait somewhere?" "Don't worry about it." "What are you talking about?" "I drove here, you know." "I know." " You drove all this way" " Yes." "Wasn't it scary?" " It was fun." " Really?"

"You've written everything I want to say." "What?" "To be frank, I really envy you, I do." "What's there to envy?" "I told you," "You're a good writer, everyone likes you." "Don't pretend you don't know." "Me?" "Pretend?" "Got everything going for you." "Do you still see Myungwoo?" "He's a bastard." "Yeah, he's a bastard." "You went out with him, though." "That was after I broke up with you." "Stop it." "I've never met such a bastard as him." "You know he copies me, don't you?" "I know all about it." "He copies everything you do." "That little shit." "That's why he went for you." "He knew I was into you." "He doesn't know we went out." "Remember what you did to me?" "I was with him because I didn't want to be alone." "I used him."

"It's all over for me." "Didn't do anything wrong but it's all over." "I've tried not to think about it but I can't help it." "Who's going to respect someone who went to motels with her teacher?" "What's the point of writing?" "No one knows my work but I'm infamous." "Why are you drinking so much?" "Do I have to have a reason?" "Were you born for a reason?" "Do you have sex for a reason?"

"She is but she's OK." "Why do you all drink so much?" "You got an award, right?" "Congratulations." "It's nothing." "We'll sober up before you get here." "We're dying to see you." "They said that?" "Of course." "I'm in the middle of something but I'll call you." "Please come." "I really want to see you." "OK, I'll call you." "OK." "What?" "You want to kiss me?" "Go on then." "Really?" "Have you had lots of sex now that you're famous?" "I've never picked anyone up." "I'm a good boy, really." "Really?" "No sex?" "Well, I have." "Only a couple of times." "I hate lying bastards." "If I call you later can you come?" "What time?" "I don't know." "Why?" "Is that a problem?" "You sound really drunk." "It's all over for me thanks to you." "I have no hope." "Why can't I get drunk?" "Careful now!" "You always get stupid when you're drunk." "Be careful my ass!" "Get off the phone!" "I'm sleeping with all the men in the world before I die." "It feels good to hang up on him for once." "I was crazy." "I'm not sleeping with him again." "Sorry." "I want to stay with him." "Sorry." "Will you be OK alone?" "Yeah." "You driving?" "We're not going far." "Don't worry." "Get in." "I'll drive." "OK." "Bye." "Hi." "They've gone." "What are they doing?" "They're going to sleep together." "They were together before." "My God!"

"We left the motel at twelve." "He didn't say he wants to start over but the sex was so good." "We went to eat something before heading back to Seoul." "Let's sit there." "OK." "What's he doing with her?" "That's so wrong." "I hate the two of them." "Is he that desperate?" "She was his student!" "I've finished." "Let's go." "You can't eat with that going on, huh?" "We can'tjust go without saying hi." "If we just leave, he'll say we got it all wrong." "Got what wrong?" "He'll say we misread the situation." "He's upset now, hoping we'd come and say hi." "I don't care." "It's up to you." "I feel sorry for her." "Stupid girl." "They're leaving, the shits." "Let's go." "I've done nothing to be ashamed of." "This feels awkward." "It does, right?" "I've done nothing wrong." "She knows about us." "He keeps ignoring me, the bastard." "You know how petty he can get." "How dare he not greet me?" "The bastard." "Look, he's even getting coffee." "Shall we wait for them?" "I'm going." "Wait for me." "You bastards!" "Come here, you two!" "Who?" "Us?" "Come here, you fuckers!" "Hello, Sir?" "You don't greet your teacher?" "Think I'm some shitty nobody?" "I was going to but she was too embarrassed." "So you ignore me?" "You arrogant little shit." "Please don't get angry." "She was so embarrassed." "What stopped you?" "Sorry, Sir." "I didn't want to make you feel uneasy." "Uneasy?" "Why should I feel uneasy?" "You slept together as men and women do." "But we just drank and had a rest." "That's it." "I heard you left her alone." "She called, we had drinks." "I knew you'd misread this." "I understand her embarrassment, caught like this by me." "Don't be angry." "Calm down." "How could you leave her alone?" "She wanted to drink some more." "Did you feel very bad?" "No, I just drank with the professor." "What a stupid mess!" "Sorry for shouting." "I was so angry when you ignored us." "That's not how it should be." "We've always got along well." "Such a good relationship." "This is such a minor thing." "That's enough." "What?"
