"I never knew that." "Ah, what's the point..." "I did tell you once." "Oh my!" "You need to look after yourself when you get old." "Eat the porridge I made you, then don't forget your pills." "Why don't you stay home today?" "Our kids are coming." "What's that?" "Are they here?" "Grandma!" "Oh, it's my munchkins!" " Our munchkins are here!" " Going somewhere?" " Dad!" " We're here." " Mom, what's wrong?" " Are you sick?" "It's nothing, just a cold." "Dad, can't you look after her better?" "You should take her to a doctor!" "These damned pills won't help." "I can't believe you!" "Where are you going this time?" "A guy Kim knows invited us to Thailand." " Thailand?" " Yeah." "So sorry, I wish you could join us!" "Yeah, me too." "Seo-yeon, listen to your grandparents and don't cause trouble." "Mom, thanks for watching them." "This is for the memorial." "Sure, don't worry and have fun there." " Let's go!" " Gosh," "I feel so guilty going off by ourselves." "Then don't go." "See you on the day of the memorial." "Okay, have fun on your family outing." " Bye, Mom!" " Bye bye!" "Goodbye, Dad." "Family outing my ass." "Aren't we family?" "Oh my!" "What?" "Get out, you bastards!" "Beat it!" "Grandpa, please, let's talk this over." "Who are you calling grandpa?" "Am I your grandpa?" "That's not what I meant, grandpa." "We just suggest you sign while the price we're offering is good." "Sign?" "Take this for a sign!" "I won't sell this store until they shovel dirt on me!" "You really won't listen to reason." "It's no use anyway, grandpa." "Now that the law's changed, if 80% of the merchants agree, it'll be expropriated whether you sign or not." "Scram, you bastards!" "You dirty crooks!" "You didn't have to throw it." "Alright, grandpa, we'll go." "See you tomorrow." "Old man just won't listen." "Hey, you there!" "You can't park here!" "Move your car!" "Just 5 minutes." "Think you own this market?" "Look, we can't do business without unloading goods." " What?" " Why are you so selfish?" "You hold out selling your shop, hurting all of us, now you won't let us unload?" "You want us to starve?" "Move it, quick!" "What are you staring at?" "!" "Grandpa!" "Don't be angry, grandpa." "I'm scared when you're angry." "Alright." "Grandpa, I was reading just now, what does memory mean?" "Memory." "This sort of thing's memory." "Thinking about the old days." "Things you can't forget."

"Oh no, the Chinese must be right behind us." "The Chinese have entered Hungnam!" "Hurry now." "Don't get distracted!" "Maksoon, come down!" "Let's go, hurry." "The Chinese have broken through and are entering into Hungnam!" "Evacuate the 7th Division units now!" "I say again!" "The Chinese have broken through and are entering into Hungnam!" "Pull back all 7th Division units now!" "Duk-soo, hold your sister's hand tight!" "Hooligan X-ray, Hooligan X-ray!" "This is Charlie Company." "Charlie Company on board, sir!" "Load the weapons!"

"Please save our people, sir!" "Captain, how many refugees can we fit on this ship?" "Sir?" "The ship's fully loaded with tanks and mortars, sir." "We've got munitions on board sir!" "There's no room for the Koreans!" "This is an order from the General!" "Unload all arms and drop them into the sea." "Let's have all refugees on board." "What if we can't board?"

" You can't even walk straight!" " Aunt Kkotbun..." "Even so..." "How could you just leave my brother behind?" "Don't you worry he might be killed?" "There's not much space, but stay here for now."

"I want to build ships." "Really big ones." "How can you make big ships in Korea?" "First you raise a lot of money, and buy land." "A lot of countries need big ships." "So you show them a photo of the land, and say, we'll build the ship you need on this land." "So buy a ship from us." "Will that really work?" "Mr. Chung!" "There are trials, but there is no failure." "Hyundai" "Crazy fool." "You said it." "He might as well start a Korean car company." "With the world so messed up, you see some strange people."

"Come out, you little punks!" "I have been against the armistice... what does armistice mean?" "Sounds like it means not waging war." "So we can go back to our hometown?" "I don't think so." "Why not?" "If the armistice ends the war, why can't we go back?" "It's true we're not waging war, but that doesn't mean the war's over." "It needs to end first." " The war is too..."

"In the middle of this chaos I send you to school, and you go around getting into fights?" "I wasn't fighting." "I just tripped while running." "Now you lie to your mother?" "Mom." "What?" "You hate me, don't you?" "Why?" "Then why didn't you mention Maksoon even once?" "Duk-soo, let's imagine." "Suppose our house is on fire." "You're in the house, and we're all outside." "Then what should I do?" "Of course, you'd come in to save me." "No." "If I die trying to save you, who will feed your siblings?" "It tears my heart to think of Maksoon, but now I have to look after you and your siblings." "Because..." "I'm a mother." "That's what mothers have to do." "But because of me, Dad..." "No, it's not your fault." "Don't you worry over such things, just study hard." "Because you're the head of the family until Dad comes back." "You understand?" "Those damned thugs." "Look at your face!" "You saw me restraining myself yesterday?" "If I catch those punks again, I'll beat them..." "Shut your trap." "Okay." "So, since the war's over, you'll go back to your hometown?" "I guess so." "Too bad." "We just became friends." "What do you mean, friends?" "I'll probably never see you again." "That's what you think." "I don't think that." "What's this?" "Look at her wrist!" "Go easy on her." "And you just need to let go." "You don't have many years left, stop being so stubborn." "Sell the store and enjoy your earnings." "Stop talking nonsense." "Look at me." "I sold my store and put up this big building." "It's called a multiplex." "What would a beggar like you know?" "I'm gonna rip your mouth...damn you!" "Cursing in front of the kid." "Old geezer." "All done..." "Those migrants are drinking coffee!" "Can you believe it?" "That's why their country stays so poor." "Hey, you!" "Don't insult us!" "Insult you?" "We didn't insult you." "You did!" "Nobody gave me this coffee!" "I bought it myself!" "What's the problem?" "Hey, he talks with an accent!" "Of course!" "I'm a Busan person, so I speak Busan dialect." "You're no Busan person, you black bastard!" "If you live in Busan, you're a Busan person!" "If you live in Korea, you're a Korean!" "Now you're jabbering nonsense, you bastard!" "Talk trash in your own country!" "Let go of him, you punks!" "What's it to you if he drinks coffee or barley water?" "Hey, grandpa!" "What's a low-grade migrant like him doing in a cafe?" "A dirt poor beggar working in another country!" "What?" "If you work in another country, you can't drink coffee?" "Don't worry, Seo-yeon." "Your grandfather's just gone a bit senile." "Soon he'll be painting on the wall." "With his poop." "You bastards!" "Penniless bastard!" "Trying to sneak into class again!" "I'm warning you!"

"My aging mother's out there selling things on the street, and Seung-gyu has to be so damned good at his studies, the jerk." "If you study well, you're a jerk?" "Crazy bastard just got into Seoul National University." "Seoul National?" "Wow!" "Wow... what a jerk." "Is he even human?" "Now we have to pay the tuition." "I wish some money would fall from the sky." "Maybe not the sky... but I know just the place." "What?" "Work in Germany." "Miners needed." "Miners?" "Squid and peanuts!" "Mister, one squid please." "Are you crazy?" "Do you even know where West Germany is?" "A miner?" "Gimme a break." "You can't even shovel." "Duk-soo, life is all about timing." "There's a time for everything." "You know what I mean?" "Let's go for just 3 years." "I'm not going, dammit!" "The exam's right around the corner." "You can take it when you get back." "Seriously, who in your family earns money besides you?" "How'll you pay your brother's tuition?" "Making fish boxes?" "A million of those won't pay his tuition." "What's there to think about?" "The answer's obvious." "No way." "After getting into that school?" "Not anyone can work abroad as a miner." " Mom..." " She's right." "Don't be ridiculous!" "You've never once even gotten your hands dirty." "A bookworm like you, mining coal?" " Even the dogs will be laughing." " You be quiet!" "Can't I have my say?" "Anyway, don't you worry about any of that." " Your brother's working hard." " Mom." "You know what people are saying about him?" "He can't get educated because of his needy family." "Working himself to the bone 365 days a year." "How can I accept that money?" "Shut your mouth, you!" "You want a slap?" "Duk-soo..." "You just study at your university." "Have you been drinking again?" "God, I can't stand this!" "Life is about timing." "A right time for everything." "You understand, you little punk?" "Whining at your mother like that."

"Now, just lift this sack above your head." " Understood?" " Yes!" "Let's start with applicant 1." "Failed." "Next." "Failed." "Why are you all such wimps?" "Next." "Wait, wait!" "Wait, I can do it." "Lift it!" "Fail." " It hasn't touched the ground!" " You're done." " I'm still..." " Failed." "Next." "Yes, sir." "Passed." "One!" "Two!" "Three!" "Passed, top marks!" "Really, in today's world, who tests with a sack of rice?" "But why do you want to go anyway?" "Your family's not poor." "Chasing my dream." "Huh?" "What dream?" "Foreign women." "Physical development that Asians can't compete with." "The sort of free mind that Korean women can't imagine..." "Can't find that in this country." " You'll like it too." " Quiet, you idiot." "Next applicants!" "Cheon Dal-gu, you're a bit weak physically." "Yes, I tend to concentrate on lower body workouts, so..." "Yoon Duk-soo, your written test and everything look good, but... no mining experience." "Yes, but I served in the army's engineer corps." "We shoveled a lot!" "Ah, engineer corps?" " Yes." " But that's not quite enough." "Sir!" "I must go to West Germany!" "Until that day when the East Sea runs dry and Mt." "Baekdu is worn away," "God protect and preserve our nation!"

"Stop the combine!" "Duk-soo!" "You okay?" "Let me see..." "Damn!" "Here." "Don't touch me!" "Ah, you're a nurse." "They say that's really hard work." "Surely mining must be harder." "Ah, not at all!" "It's really not that bad." "Then when did you arrive in Germany?" "Germany?" "December the year before last..." "About two years ago." "Meeting you here, suddenly I'm craving Korean food." "I didn't look." "What, a woman?" "Really, a Korean woman?" "She's in the nursing school at St. Anna's in Duisburg." "Nursing school!" "Nursing school!" "Wow, a white angel!" "Nightingale!" "Is she well developed?" "Big hips?" "A woman should have a large pelvis." "Stop it, will you?" "But are they big?" "How big?" "Huh?" "Come on, quiet down!" "Anyway, you arranged to meet her alone, right?" " Of course he did." " When?" "No, I'm not meeting her alone." " You fool!" " You don't have a clue!" "Why'd you even mention it then?" "I think he's impotent." "Why is the bread so hard again?" "Ah, you soot-covered idiots..." "You having fun?" "Of course I am!" "Miss, where do you hang out?" "You're a great dancer!" "Leave her alone!" "Let go of me!" "Who is it?" "Who?" "Over there!" "I dunno." "Ask, then!" "Youngja, who is that?" "Dormitory inspector." "She came to watch over us." "No, no, no..." "Hammering... and your turn!" "Youngja, look!" "Mr. Yoon!" "Are you crazy?" "At this hour?" "You must be tired, right?" "Quiet, you idiot." "What was that?" "I dunno!" "Wow!" "You said you craved Korean food." "Your eyes were glued to my breasts, but your ears still heard me." "Ah, it wasn't like that, really." "Take this." "I didn't look, really." "But, your friend?" "Ah, Dal-gu?" "He's meeting someone." "Who?" "Ma'am, you mustn't do that." "That's...that's not why I came." "Shut your mouth." "What's she saying?" "Is she crazy?" "What's she doing?" "Please spare me, ma'am." "So cute..." "Yes, that's it!" "The taste I missed." "Youngja, I wanted to ask." "Yes?" "That day we first met, why were you singing such a sad song?" "Just because... things were hard." "When things are hard, don't cry all alone." "If you tell me," "I'll cook this kimchi stew and bring it to you." "So from now on, if you can't help crying, please don't ever cry alone." "Why not?" "Your heart coarsens, if you cry alone." "If we cry together, will that help?" "Sure." "They say, Even a sheet of paper is lighter if held by two." "Youngja." "Please promise me." "That you won't cry alone anymore." "Thank you, Mr. Yoon." "I said, call me Duk-soo." "Mommy..." "Sit comfortably." "Catch me if you can!" "Gotcha!" "My apologies." "It's okay." "Wow, looks tasty!" " Sorry for the wait." " It's fine..." "But, aren't you curious?" "About what?" "What kind of person I am... where I lived in Korea, well, what my family situation is." "What's the point in asking?" "What?" "You must have been poor." "Probably an eldest daughter." "And your siblings all had their mouths open like baby birds." "So you send all your hard-earned money back home." "We're here." "Already?" "Here." "It was fun." "Good night." "I held her hand!" "No, this can't be!" "Methane gas!" "The pressure is over 3%!" "Everyone must evacuate!" "All the miners below." "Everyone evacuate!" "Quickly!" "Everyone evacuate!" "Gas is leaking!" "Quickly!"

"Even if I die, my ghost will come after you." "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Duk-soo!" "Duk-soo!" "Father..." "Youngja!" "There was a mine explosion." "Explosion?" "Where?" "In Hamborn." "Duk-soo." "Out of the way!" "Our friends are dying!" "Stay back!" "It's too dangerous!" "The shaft is still full of gas." "Just be thankful you're still alive." "What happened?" "Duk-soo and Dal-gu are trapped inside." "We're trying to go down," " but they keep stopping us..." " No!" "Why can't we go down?" "It's too dangerous." "There could be an explosion." "And the people down there?" "We can't do anything until the gas dissipates." "But, then they'll die!" "The people down there!" "Those people risked their lives for you!" "Those people...those poor, luckless Koreans, who came to this distant land just to earn money." "If you won't go down, then we will." "Don't be absurd." "Who knows if they're even alive?" "Watch your mouth!" "Those people won't die!" "If they die, it's in front of us!" "Please!" "Let us go in!" "Even if they're dead, we should find their bodies." "Please!" "Say yes, please." "No!"

"Duk-soo!" "Duk-soo!" "Duk-soo, get out from there!" "Get out, quick!" "Duk-soo!" "Duk-soo!" "Duk-soo." "I'm scared, Duk-soo!" "Open your eyes!" "If you die here, then what about your family?" "Get up, you damned beggar boy!" "Duk-soo!" "You're alive!" "You're alive, Duk-soo!" "How much time has passed?" "Duk-soo..." "You're thirsty, right?" "We need to save the battery." "Duk-soo..." "Duk-soo..." "Duk-soo..." "Duk-soo..." "Dad..." "I'm looking after them well, at Kkotbun's Shop." "Mom is still doing okay, for now." "I miss her..." "Seung-gyu is an unbelievable student." "He just got into Seoul National." "Kkeutsun keeps getting prettier." "She causes trouble sometimes, but she's turning into a fine woman." "Maksoon...my sister Maksoon..." "I haven't found her yet." "I'm so sorry to her." "Dad, life is hard..." "It's really hard for me." "But the one I really want to see right now, isn't you, or Mom, or Seung-gyu, or Kkeutsun... it's Youngja." " Duk-soo!" "Duk-soo!" " Dal-gu!" " Dal-gu, are you okay?" " Hey, bring a stretcher!" " Dal-gu!" " Quick, a stretcher!" "Take Duk-soo first, he's hurt bad." "Wait just a minute!" "We'll pull you out." "Duk-soo's not waking up." "Hey, a stretcher, quick!" "Hurry up and bring it!" "Damned rain." "They're coming out!" "What?" "Out of the way!" "I'm relieved to see you recover so quickly." "All thanks to you." "I don't know how to thank you." "Cook me something tasty." "This time, bean paste stew?" "Shall I?" "What are you doing next weekend?" "This week I'm a bit busy." "Can we make it this weekend?" "Why?" "To be honest... my visa expires in a week." "And they're not extending miners' visas anymore." "Good for you." "You've been wanting to go back." "Youngja." "How about coming back with me to Korea?" "Money's nice, but rather than washing corpses all day long in a foreign country..." "There you go." "Youngja." "Don't cry." "Why cry on such a beautiful day?" "You'll return home proudly, having earned a lot of money." "And I'm working hard and living well here." "Duk-soo." "Congratulations on your return." "Mom!" "Mom!" " Seung-kyu, Kkeutsun!" " Duk-soo!" "This is our new home?" " Wow, it's great!" " Duk-soo!" "Duk-soo!" "Come here!" "Is our Seoul University kid studying well?" "Sure, brother." " Mom!" " Duk-soo!" "You worked so hard over there..." "No big deal." "You've worked hard too." "Auntie, is the store doing well?" "Sure, sure." "Too well, in fact!" "Duk-soo, did you earn a lot?" "Sure!" "Hey, don't touch a lady's butt!" "Lady?" "How's our lady doing at school?" "Pretty girls don't need to study." "Then you better study hard!" "What!" "?" "Mom, let me carry you!" "Let's take a spin!" "Auntie come here, your turn." "Are you healthy enough?" "Ah, then not Auntie, Mom again!" "Duk-soo, me too!" "December 21, 1966 First group of miners return from Germany" "This is our home!" "Auntie, I brought the stuff you ordered." "You're always on top of things." "Now that you own a house, you should take over this store." "What?" "No Auntie, you're still healthy and strong." "No, if I die, I want you to have this store." "Auntie..." "Here it is." "Hey, beggar boy!" "What?" " Oh, your aunt's here." " Hello." "This gentleman is looking for some cloth." "Oh, really?" "Over here, take a look." "I'm seeking an exotic and unique kind of fabric." "Fabric...fabric..." "Oh, not this." "This is good...unique." "Oh, fantastic!" "Unbelievable!" "I was seeking a fabric for women of elegance." "But that fabric was nowhere to be found." "Why didn't I think of putting embroidery in fabric?" "Oh, idiot!" "Oh, stupid!" "Oh, fool!" "Ah, then in Seoul, men make women's clothing?" "In our generation, the shattering of gender roles will be a hot topic." "I appreciate your help." "Thank you!" "See you later!" "His bag." "Mr. Kim!" "Kim Bong-Nam!" "Shattering of gender roles?" "He probably thinks a man can have a baby." "Ha, don't be ridiculous!" "Youngja..." "How long has it been, Youngja?" "3 months." "Is that all?" "It feels like 3 years." "Anyway, let's have a drink." "No." "Why not?" "You don't drink?" "I'm not allowed to drink." "I'm pregnant." "Pregnant?" "Ah...oh my, congrats." "Congratulations."

"If you come back to Korea with me now..." "I'll support you, and..." "I'm sorry." "Shouldn't have brought it up." "I guess this is my only chance to sing this." "Oh my God..." "Youngja, we really shouldn't, I..." " Duk-soo, lucky you!" " Youngja, you're beautiful!" "Let's shoot the photo!" "One, two...three!" "Stay still!" "Why are you doing this?" "Dal-gu!" "What are you doing to my brother?" "Beat it, you!" "Dal-gu, that's enough!" "Don't worry, ma'am." "Why are you doing this?" "Stop!" "Then sing!" "I..." "I can't sing." " She can't sing, can't sing!"

"Grab him." "Where'd you find a woman like that?" "He won't die from that feeble beating." "Why don't you die, you bastard!" "That's not water, is it?" "Whack him hard!" "You dance well, come on!" "How are things?" "Aren't you sick?" " Where are the kids?" " Auntie's watching them." "So why are you here?" "Take a walk with me." "Where?" "Just come." "The memorial's in two days, why buy the food now?" "You're still sick." "Need to prepare early." "And then I can have this date with you." "You losing your mind?" "What a great song." "Great?" "Nam Jin sings much better." "Hey, don't you have any songs by Nam Jin?" "What?" "What's important, the face or the voice?" "Na Hoon-a is much cooler." "Get out, the really cool one is Nam Jin." "Ask any of these people." "Who's better, Nam Jin or Na Hoon-a?" "No question, Na Hoon-a's the better singer." "Nam Jin looks like a girl." "Right!"

"How can you even say that?" "And why should it cost you so much to marry?" "You keep repeating that, and I'm turning into an old maid!" "How dare you shout at your mother like that!" "Your brother emptied his pockets to buy this house!" "You know our situation, how can you carry on like that?" "You did it for my younger brother when he got married!" "Didn't you even think of your daughter's wedding?" "Your older brother spent barely a coin on his wedding!" "The idiot wanted it that way!" "Hey!" "You little ingrate!" "Don't you know who sent you to university?" "Your brother almost killed himself mining coal in West Germany, so that you two could study, and we could buy this house!" "When is she ever going to grow up?" "Look at the view here!" "This is it." "It's originally an imported goods store." "But you could turn it into whatever you want." "Hey!" "What's going on here?" "Uncle!" "We just laid my aunt to rest." "She worked her whole life maintaining that store!" "How can you sell it without consulting us?" "I'm selling my store, who do I have to consult?" "It's not your store, it's Auntie's!" "Who are you to yell at me!" "I don't have any money to live." "If I don't sell that store, I'll starve." "What, cat got your tongue?" "Leave, then!" "I'll buy it!" "What?" "Kkotbun's Shop!" "I can buy it out from you, can't I?" "Kkotbun's Shop" "Certificate of Acceptance" "No way." "Vietnam's at war." "I may not know much, but I won't send you to a place where so many men are dying!" "Mom, those are soldiers carrying guns." "For technicians like us, it's completely safe." "I doubt that." "Duk-soo, do they pay you well?" "Shut your mouth." "They pay in dollars, $850." "That's 400,000 won." "Wow, then my wedding will be no problem!" "I said, shut your mouth!" "Anyway, there's no way!" "If we're frugal, we can save for her wedding." "Mom, just let me go." "It's not like I'm going alone." "Who else is going?" "Dal-gu said he's going too." "I..." "I did?" "When?" "No." "She's right." "You want to make me a widow?" "Then we'd be widow village here!" "Whether you live or die, you're staying here." "Why are you so negative?" "Anyway, forget it." "Honey, I'm the eldest son." "And the head of the household!" "That's right." "Either way, I have to look after my family." "You've done enough!" "Why do more?" "Why is it always you who sacrifices himself?" "That's enough, stop." "And you think I don't know?" "The wedding?" "No, you're going to a war zone because of that store!" "You think I'm stupid?" "Stop it, please!" "Why do you talk back so much?" "You think I want to go there?" "Huh?" "It's my damned fate!" "Why are you blaming me for my fate?" "What about your fate?" "It's time for you to live for yourself, not others." "It's your life, why is there no part of you in it?" "I, standing before the our noble flag, do solemnly pledge allegiance to the Republic of Korea, and its glory, liberty and justice." " Are you even human?" " What now?" "Summer 1974 Saigon, Vietnam" "Bringing your pal to a war zone?" "Hey, you brought me to Germany!" "A coal mine and a war zone are not the same!" "What's the difference?" "It's a job either way." "There's more to life than money." "There's more to life than women." "And where'd you get that weird hairdo?" "Oh, it's hot." " Hey, Duk-soo!" " Yes?" "Damn, that's heavy." "Sign this." "Sign?" "Here." "Uh, sign okay." "Okay, okay." "Sign, sign." "Oh, it's hot." "Dal-gu, look." "Seen that before, huh?" "Forget that." "Now we've been paid, wanna get a drink?" " Where?" " There." "Are you an idiot?" "That's for U.S. soldiers." "We can't go in there." "Oh, ladies!" "That's mine!" "Give it!" "Damn little punks...hey!" "Oh my." "Don't cry." "Those kids hit you?" "Here." "Korean?" "Yeah, Korean." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Oh, it's hot." "What?" "Hi." "Dal-gu!" "No!" "Youngja, how have you been?" "I'm working comfortably here with no troubles." "It's really great here." "As I said before, since I'm not a soldier" "I'm far away from the war, it's almost like I'm here on vacation." "Youngja, I've been thinking." "Isn't it a relief to know" "That is was us, and not our children, who were born into this difficult era and lived through all these hard hips?" "Just imagine..." "If our Do-ju were caught up in that cursed Korean War..." "Or if our Ki-ju were down in those hellish German mines..." "Here in Vietnam, our young men have come to earn money." "I wish that none of all this had ever happened." "Still, I'm thankful that these troubles have been suffered not by our children, but by you and me." "Everyone pull back!" "Saigon has already fallen to the Viet Cong." "It's dangerous to remain here." "Evacuate quickly!" "Viet Cong!" "Get down." "Over there!" "It's nothing!" "Snake!" "Huh?" "Snake!" "What?" "A snake, you idiot!" "Dal-gu, no!" "Dal-gu!" "Dal-gu!" "Dal-gu!" "Don't kill us!" "It's alright, we're the Marines." "What the hell are you doing here?" " Don't kill us!" " Mister, we're the Marines." "This area's been occupied by the Viet Cong." "The Americans all evacuated." "Follow us." "There are snakes here, snakes!" "What are you doing, we're in a hurry!" "Driving me crazy..." "By any chance, are you Nam Jin?" "Ah, my popularity spreads to all corners..." "Duk-soo!" "Dal-gu, we're saved!" "On that grassy plain, I'll build a pretty house with the one I love... we built this pier here." "Don't want the enemy to use it, so we'll detonate it." "Blow it to smithereens." "It figures..." "Don't have much time, so hurry on to the boat." "Don't want to get blown up." "I'll build a pretty house." "That song is great." "Is it new?" "Yeah." "I'll release it when I go back." "Think it'll be a hit?" "It's got something special." "By the way..." "Can I have an autograph?" "Three of them." "Come on." "This is the last box?" " Put in your luggage." " Duk-soo, look." "What is this?" "Hey, what's going on?" "They want us to take them on the boat." "No." "The Americans demanded info about the Viet Cong." "Then the Viet Cong arrived, and asked about the Americans," "Then they took away all the young men." "All war is like that." "It was the same for us." "Hurry, let's go." "Hey!" "How can you compare the two?" "Is that how I taught you?" "You..." "The Viet Cong will kill us for talking to you." "They say if you can't take them, at least take the children." "We can't." "There's barely room for us." "Hey, why aren't you helping?" "Just hold on, I'm coming." "Come up." "There you go." "Come on up." "Come here!" "It's okay." "Come here." "Brother!" "Dao!" "Dao!" "Brother!" "Help!" "Help my sister!" "She fell in the water." "Duk-soo!" "Where's he going?" "Withdraw!" "Withdraw!" "Stay still." "Hurry!" "Take the girl." "Duk-soo, quick!" "Duk-soo!" "You're okay." "Blow up the pier!" "April 30, 1975 End of Vietnam War" "Come one, come all!" "Look, we have new goods from Japan and the U.S.!" "Mister, take a look!" "You just don't listen, do you?" "What?" "I told you, your goods can't come over past that pillar." "Sorry." "Let's not be too harsh, okay?" "Sure, but there are rules to the market, you know." "You see anyone else flouncing around like you?" "It's obvious you've got no husband around." " Leave my husband out of this!" " Are you crazy?" "What's wrong with you?" "Let go!" "You want to die?" "Let go!" "What are you doing?" "Have you gone crazy?" "What's with you?" "Honey!" "Youngja!" "Honey." "Ouch!" "Oh, my." " What happened to your leg?" " It's nothing." "How's my wife been?" "What happened to your leg?" "It's nothing." " What happened?" " Hey!" "It's fine." "It's okay!" "What happened to your leg?" "Come here, it's okay." "Come here now." "Kkotbun's Shop" "All done."

"Duk-soo, how come your eyes are closed in every photo?" "Is your timing that bad?" "And why don't you take a rest?" "Let your son run the store." "Right, do some traveling with Mom." "Enjoy yourself, will you?" "Right, will you take the money with you when you die?" "And who uses imported goods anymore, we all buy Korean." "Right!" "Dad, the trendy spot now is Haeundae." "Life is all about timing." "Let's just sell the shop and move to Haeundae." "Hey!" "Stop blabbering and eat your fruit." "How come you get so negative if anyone mentions the shop?" "Ah, these days I just can't communicate with my father." "These days?" "It's been a while." "What's so precious about that damn store?" "It makes no money, should've sold it earlier." "And what's with the name Kkotbun's Shop?" " Such an old-fashioned name." " Right." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Duk-soo, if I don't come back," "I'll meet you at Auntie's shop in Gukje Market, Busan." "Just ask for Kkotbun's Shop." "Kkotbun's Shop, okay?" "Yes!"
