"The Elephant on the Bike" "YANG Jin-woo" "KIM Jung-hwa" "OH Kwang-rok" "I told you I'd take care of that." "Get some rest." "You're right." "I shouldn't push myself." "Excuse me!" "Could you take a picture of us?" "I can't find anyone to take a picture." "The zoo could close down with no one around like this." "It did." "Sorry?" "We'll close up." "A theme park is opening up in the town." "But it's different here." "And it's peaceful." "Maybe 'cause it's old." "It sure is." "It's the country's first zoo." "How shall I take the picture?" "Everybody, let's take a picture!" "Come, we're gonna take a pic with the elephant." "Come here." "This way." "Sorry, my camera is too small." "Press it without the gloves." "Okay, one, two, three." "What's with the long faces?" "Smile." "Right, smile everyone." "Say cheese!" "Here you go." "Closed" "Stop calling me while I'm working." "I told you he has a good appetite." "Don't prepare anything special." "It's just a casual dinner." "What about dad?" "Already?" "Excuse me." "There's a problem." "Sorry, no more tickets to Seoul." "Someone's sitting in my seat." "Mom, I'll call you later." "Let me check it for you." "I'm sorry." "I sold two of the same tickets." "Are you kidding me?" "I want to speak to your manager." "Call your manager now!" "You always listen to this sort of gloomy music." "Where are we going?" "To my place." "Why all of a sudden?" "My dad's in town." "How long will you avoid him?" "Hey..." "Why is everyone being a downer?" "Mom, I was right, wasn't I?" "Look, he likes any type of food." "Dad." "Yes, right." "Help yourself to plenty." "Thank you for the meal." "Dong-kyu!" "Dad, what's wrong with you?" "Let's go for a drink." "Are you sleeping again?" "That was close!" "Can't they get it in like this?" "Damn it." "Hey, is something wrong?" "By any chance, are you rooting for Togo?" "Hey, stop drinking." "He's not answering?" "No." "When he comes, tell him to call me." "Sure." "See you later." "Bye, Yoo-ri." "Don't forget the class reunion." "Everyone in Seoul is coming down, so let's meet them, okay?" "I told you hundred times I would." "Hey, I'm taking off." "If your mom sees me, she'll blame me for getting you drunk." "Hurry up and go inside." "You always get me into trouble, you know?" "Hello!" "Hello, Yoo-ri." "Dong-kyu!" "Know what the saying is for salvia flowers?" ""My heart is burning for you."" "The coffee here tastes really good." "When did you say the zoo is closing?" "In the fall." "Wasn't there any good news from the company you'd applied?" "Why don't you apply for another company then?" "There's not much time left." "Okay." "I'll try." "Don't say just okay, really look for one." "I told you I am." "Why are you getting upset with me?" "I'm the one who should be upset." "Why didn't you answer my calls?" "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" "If I did, you wouldn't have met my dad." "Have you ever thought about how I'd feel?" "How about me?" "You always put things off, while my parents push me to marry." "I'm up to my neck." "I can't take it anymore." "Can't take what?" "Don't you really know what it is?" "Know what my dad said after you left?" "That hand..." "I'm sorry." "Dong-kyu, let's meet my dad again." "And apologize to him." "Are you that unsure about me?" "Where are you going?" "We have to finish talking first!" ""Would you tell me which way I ought to go from here?"" "Then the cat says," ""That depends on where you want to go."" "Alice says again," ""It doesn't matter wherever I go."" "The cat tells her the truth, laughing." ""Then it doesn't matter which way you go."" "What book is that?" "Alice in Wonderland." "Where did you get it?" "I picked it up beside the fence." "That kid on picnic must've dropped it." "It's really a fun book." "The kid must be missing it a lot." "Give it to me." "I'll return it on my way out." "Going to see your dad?" "Yes." "Hello?" "Hello?" "You play the piano very well." "Ah, so it was at the zoo." "The kid who left it cried so much." "Thank you very much." "You saved my life." "Hold this for a sec." "You won't believe this, but I dreamed of becoming an elephant keeper at the zoo." "What's wrong with this?" "Can you help me?" "You know, the elephant is the biggest animal on land." "It can beat a tiger and a lion." "And can do anything with its nose." "Why are you staring at me?" "Long ago, someone I know said the very same thing." "Really?" "That's strange." "Can you turn on the switch?" "Okay." "Gosh, this will hurt the kids' eyes." "I think the problem is not the fluorescent bulb, but electricity itself." "Call an electrician." "He can change it right away." "Can you change it for me?" "Sorry?" "It was a joke." "Oh, right." "Dad, I'm here." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "Dong-kyu!" "Yes?" "Do you know what this is?" "I have no idea." "This is a wrench." "If the bike breaks here..." "I'm talking to you." "Pay attention." "Take a look here." "I'll explain again." "I don't want to listen." "You still have to listen." "Why do I have to?" "You'll know later when you grow up." "Listen carefully." "What are you doing?" "Dong-kyu brought a Family Conditions Report from school." "Just write anything." "What are you worried about?" "Calculate this first." "This is more important." "He has to take it to school tomorrow." "Then, you do it Dong-kyu." "You're good at counting, right?" "Dad, you can't even do that?" "I don't feel like doing it." "Get up, boy." "Now!" "Figure it out." "30 times 1,200." "36,000, dad!" "Dad, I wish you wear a tie and suit to work like other dads?" "I like riding a bicycle." "Wait, since it's a full month, 31 times 1,200." "37,200." "37,200." "Father:" "High School Graduated Minus." "What are you peeking at?" "Yoon-ah, aren't you hungry?" "Want me to make you something to eat?" "I'm okay, mom." "Dong-kyu, are you sleeping?" "Father:" "Elementary School Graduated" "Mother:" "Middle School Graduated" "Dong-kyu, if you keep hating to go to school, Mom will be worried." "Right?" "Now you're in fourth grade." "Do you want a present?" "What present?" "Where did you say you wanted to go the most?" "The zoo." "Sure, then let's go to the zoo." "Really?" "Dong-kyu, you should learn how to ride a bike." "No." "I'm the owner of a bicycle store." "And if you can't ride a bike, people will make fun of you, you know?" "Hi, Dong-kyu." "What about your kids?" "They're having a fit about me not coming yet." "Hurry and go." "Go and take dad home." "I'll catch up after I take care of the kids." "I'll take care of that." "Dad, I'll see you later." "Okay." "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "I asked you to take the taxi." "You're so stubborn." "You barely made it out of the hospital." "I like the bus." "And are your parents healthy?" "Yes." "Good, so what do you do?" "I'm working at a small company." "Who cares if it's small." "Doing your best is what matters." "As you can see, we're not rich." "She demands to get married suddenly when we aren't even prepared." "We don't have much to give her." "And her father has been in the hospital for a long time." "Mom, you don't have to tell him that." "Don't interrupt when grown-ups are talking." "I don't need anything." "I told him I'd marry him without anything." "But that's not right." "Then do you have anything to give me?" "Are you going to sell even this house for me or what?" "Ji-hye, watch your mouth in front of your father." "And your elder brother hasn't married yet." "Don't push me." "You don't even know anything." "Who knows when he'll marry anyway?" "What are you talking about?" "Know why Yoo-ri came here yesterday?" "She said he met Yoo-ri's parents." "And her dad told her to stop seeing him." "So how long do I have to wait?" "I want to get out of this house as soon as possible." "Dong-kyu!" "What are you doing there?" "Hurry and get on." "Dong-kyu, you..." "Clean it up." "Something happened in school?" "How's your dad's tie and suit?" "Isn't it cool?" "Dong-kyu." "Shall we go to the zoo?" "Okay, let's go." "Wow, it's an elephant!" "Dong-kyu, what's your favorite animal?" "Elephants." "Why?" "Because it can do anything with its nose, even without hands." "Dad, your tie and suit look great on you." "If you're going to close the store, why are you painting the door?" "You should sell everything left in here." "When I'm too old to drive the bus, I'm going to reopen it." "When our kids all grow up." "You're still going to keep driving till then?" "Shouldn't you be thinking about making money for the future instead?" "Old people don't need to drive?" "All we need is enough money to get by." "And I'll use the rest to drive across the country with you." "So you should also learn how to drive, honey." "There's one thing I'd like to do before the kids get older." "What is it?" "Let's take a family photo." "Family photo?" "Every family has one." "So, is that what you wanted?" "Not for me." "It's for the kids." "What are you doing?" "Wow, it's so great here." "So my Dong-kyu knew of a great place." "Can I join you?" "Dong-kyu." "Tada!" "Wow, an elephant!" "You like it?" "Sure." "But where is the baby elephant?" "Well, I'll make that for you." "If you eat well..." "Then make a lot for me." "Sure." "How many do you want?" "About hundred?" "Wow, that many?" "Okay." "Hello?" "Hey, what are you doing?" "Looking at the moon." "Hurry and come out." "Why?" "Today is the class reunion." "Class 1 of fourth grade." "Oh yeah, it's today." "I told you last time." "I don't feel like going there." "You have to come out." "Everyone misses you." "Hey, give me the phone." "Dong-kyu, it's CHOI Sang-joon." "Remember me?" "Yeah." "What are you doing?" "Hurry and come out." "You know me, right?" "If you don't, I'm barging into your house with everyone." "You still live around that old bike store, right?" "It only takes a few sec." "Okay, I'll go." "Hey, isn't that Dong-kyu?" "Lee Dong-kyu!" "Get over here, you slow poke!" "Come here!" "Take a seat here." "It's been ages." "It's the first time since we've graduated, right?" "That's right." "Hey, you remember this?" "You did this to me." "Bastard, so how have you been?" "So-so." "How about you?" "I just run around like crazy in Seoul." "Always catching hoodlums." "You know I'm a cop, right?" "Yeah." "You and Do-hyun are the only ones guarding our hometown." "That's great, man." "There's nothing great about it." "Sang-joon!" "It's the song you requested!" "Really?" "Dong-kyu!" "Dong-kyu!" "Hey, come out and sing!" "Hello?" "When are you going to come?" "Know how long we've waited for you?" "You know me, right?" "If you don't come," "I'm barging into your house with everyone." "Dong-kyu was here." "Didn't see him?" "What?" "Dong-kyu was here?" "Okay then come here one more time." "It's on me, so hurry." "I know you'd be here like this." "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?" "I looked everywhere for you." "Do you remember that girl?" "Who?" "KIM Eun-jung." "She transferred to our class during fourth grade." "Man, she was so pretty." "Right as" "I was going to hit on her, she transferred." "If she hadn't transferred, she would've fallen for me." "Anyway, she died." "Sang-joon told me." "When he went to handle a case, he recognized her face." "But her ashes were buried in the memorial park here." "Strange, huh?" "I should go visit there." "What are you doing?" "Lend me your bicycle." "You don't even know how to ride." "Come here, I'll give you a ride." "You can sit behind me." "That's dangerous!" "The handlebar!" "Good." "You're not bad after all." "The peddle!" "Okay, good." "Did he take lessons?" "You should go and sleep at home." "It's raining." "What are you doing here?" "I have nowhere else to go." "You'll be hopeless when this zoo closes down soon." "So apartments will be built here?" "The things I like are disappearing one by one." "I wished you'd take care of this zoo instead of me." "Anyway, is something on your mind?" "I wish people would die in the order they were born." "How come?" "That way, there's time to get ready to be sad at least." "When I went to Africa to bring that lad back," "I had a local guide one day." "But the next day he didn't budge." "Time was running out and I was so frustrated, so I asked my interpreter why he wouldn't move." "What did he say?" "He said his body ran too fast yesterday, so his soul couldn't catch up with his body." "Yes, he said that." "Look at your tie." "It's fine." "But you have an interview today." "I told you it's fine." "Great, you're still here." "I ran here, worried you'd already left." "Why aren't you at the hospital?" "Because of this." "What did you buy this for?" "To wish you good luck." "I'm not that important." "But it's an interview." "You should look neat." "Don't worry about me." "Worry about your husband instead." "Well, he's got a lot of ties." "Great." "You look wonderful." "Mom, how does he look?" "The bright color looks much better on you." "Your sister is the best." "I'll be back." "Dong-kyu, why do you look so down?" "Wait a sec." "You have to eat a good lunch for a day like today." "I'm fine." "Take it." "And straighten up your back." "I'll be back." "Okay." "Sis!" "Huh?" "Never mind." "I'll see you later." "Mom, I'm leaving." "He'll do well this time." "Yes, of course he will." "Hurry and go." "Your dad must be hungry." "Yes." "Hurry and come out!" "I have to go to school early today." "Your sister is late." "I don't want to go." "You have to go no matter what." "Stand up." "Don't scribble on the floor." "Get up!" "I said I don't want to go." "Come on, be a good boy." "Let's go, okay?" "Dong-kyu, stay still!" "Mommy!" "Does it hurt?" "It'll be all right." "Dong-kyu, let's go to school." "We're late." "I won't go." "Look." "Dong-kyu, I'll show you something fun." "Come with me, okay?" "Hurry and come." "I'll show you something fun." "Dong-kyu, is it fun?" "Yes!" "Peddle faster!" "Okay!" "Dong-kyu, take the umbrella!" "It's not raining!" "It'll rain later!" "And 'because' always has order." "Listen closely." "Come here." "Why did you come so late?" "Answer me." "I thought you're a good student." "Get down." "What are you doing there?" "I'm late." "Really?" "Teacher, Dong-kyu's hiding outside!" "Dong-kyu, come inside." "Don't be late to school!" "Go to your seat." "My name is Lee Dong-kyu." "What's your name?" "Kim Eun-jung" "You have quite a unique resume." "Why are you applying for this company?" "I agree with the company's philosophy of wanting to be the best by offering workers the equal chance to develop themselves." "That is why I've applied." "Yes, good." "But your answers sound a little too typical." "Can you tell us your ambitions more assertively?" "If you give me the honor to work here," "I will do my best to become an essential asset to your company." "We deal with a lot of sales, so are you good at drinking?" "I'm not so good at drinking, but if you give me the chance, I will do my best." "That is all, thank you." "Wait." "How did it go?" "I'm going to my hometown." "Dad demanded that I should come." "And to meet a man who works in the public office." "Why aren't you saying anything?" "Say something." "What's love to you?" "Why are you asking me that?" "Because your love seems to need a lot of conditions." "What do you mean?" "Having a good job, getting permission from your parents." "Think I'm the only one?" "All my friends are married like that." "Then are their husbands' hands like mine?" "Dong-kyu." "I'm not sure anymore." "I'm too busy to fix this piece of crap." "Shit!" "You scared me, you bastard." "This is that butcher's wife's car." "I should get it scrapped." "If it's fixed, will it work?" "Sure, but it's embarrassing to drive." "Then fix it for me." "What?" "I wish I was a machine." "So that I could be fixed." "Do-hyun." "What?" "Should I hold on to it or not?" "Hold what?" "Not sure what it is, but hold on to it." "You have nothing to hold anyway, so hold anything you can." "You think so?" "Of course." "What the hell are you doing?" "Why are you letting the brake go?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Are you insane?" "The brakes are out of order!" "I wish I was insane." "Where the hell are you going?" "Who did this!" "What the hell!" "My gate!" "What the hell did you do!" "Yoo-ri!" "Yoo-ri!" "What will you do about my gate?" "Why are you calling her?" "She moved out!" "Anyway, what will you do about my gate?" "Why are you being so strange?" "It's not like you." "Like me?" "Yes." "What's "like me"?" "You're usually quiet." "Quiet?" "Was I quiet because I wanted to be?" "I was quiet because I had to be." "I don't get a word you're saying." "What are you looking at?" "Don't just glance at it." "Look straight at it with your eyes!" "Look at it!" "What?" "Are you talking to us?" "Yes, I am, you bastards." "You little prick." "Sorry, he had a really bad day." "Think he's the only one?" "I feel like shit after we tied with France!" "So hit me!" "At least Park Ji-sung scored a goal!" "Think about that goal and cool it." "Hit me, damn it!" "Just hit me once, bastard!" "You're out of control!" "I'll be fired because of you." "Do whatever you want!" "Hello?" "Mom, it's me." "Yeah." "Is Dong-kyu there?" "No, I thought he'd be there." "He's not." "Why didn't he come to take dad?" "He said that he'd go to the hospital right after the interview." "What shall I do?" "Bring your dad home carefully." "Okay, see you there, mom." "Okay." "I'm sorry." "Wait!" "Your tie." "You must've not fixed that yet." "The electrician closed his store." "He must be busy." "What's wrong with your face?" "Did you fight with someone?" "There, it's done." "The suit looks great on you." "Good-bye." "Stand up." "Grandpa is coming." "Stay still and be quiet." "I told you to behave for the photo shoot." "Hey, what happened to you?" "I called you earlier." "Mom was very worried about you." "Mom was so worried..." "What's wrong with your face?" "That's enough." "Hurry and take the picture." "Tell them to come in!" "Okay." "Hurry up!" "Dong-kyu, you're always making trouble." "Mom, too." "I'm too busy for this photo thing." "I'm marrying, not dying." "We didn't take a family photo even when your sister married." "We can take it on my wedding day, but why today?" "What?" "That's enough." "Let's not ruin this great day." "I'm sorry for being so late." "It's okay." "Look at here." "Now everyone smile." "One, two, three!" "Sorry, you have to take it back home." "I'm fine." "Go home first." "She's the one who brought it, so how could she just go?" "Okay, we're blocking traffic." "We better go." "Okay." "Be careful on your way home." "I Will." "Stop the car." "Dad, what's wrong?" "Dad, what's wrong?" "Go ahead." "I'll go with Dong-kyu." "Dad!" "Go." "I'm sorry." "Then we'll be on our way." "It's a beautiful day." "Let's walk together." "Hop on." "Are you okay?" "Been a long time since I've ridden this bicycle." "It sure has, hasn't it?" "I didn't know you could ride a bicycle." "You, bastard." "It was you, right?" "What?" "You broke Eun-jung's bicycle!" "Did you see it?" "Ask everyone if I did it." "Did I?" "No!" "See?" "Know how much it costs?" "Pay for it, you bastard!" "What are you teaching your kid?" "Teaching him to beat others?" "I'm sorry." "It won't happen again." "Think saying sorry is enough?" "His teeth are broken up, and his body is bruised all over." "I'm very sorry." "Please forgive us." "Forgive?" "Huh?" "You need to teach him right from the beginning." "He needs to be sent to jail." "Jail?" "He's only a little child." "A child?" "A child does this?" "You prick!" "Please calm down." "You prick, you get a beating, too!" "Cooperative spirit, why do we have to have it?" "If we concern about only ourselves or ignore the relationship with other people, we can't create a healthy democracy society." "In this society, we live with many people." "And we can't do something with out help." "Sometimes there are some people who doesn't involve..." "I painted it." "It's pretty, huh?" "Know how to have fun on a bicycle?" "I'll show you." "Hurry and get on!" "I don't know how to ride a bicycle." "Wow, I'm riding it!" "Gosh, why does it keep turning off?" "Learn how to drive!" "Why do you keep making it turn off?" "You're lucky the train wasn't coming." "Stop making such a fuss." "If you need to go somewhere, I'll take you." "It's too late to learn how to drive." "You always say you're busy." "But I have enough time to give you a ride." "I'll drive." "Mom." "Mom!" "Mom, get off!" "I'll drive!" "Excuse me." "LEE Dong-kyu?" ""KIM Eun-jung"" "Hello." "Did you draw this?" "I'll ask you a question." "Is a train faster or is a plane faster?" "Dummy, the train is faster." "A plane flies around like this, but a train speeds by like this." "You take it." "But I tore your music textbook." "Hello." "Hurry and take him." "Father." "Please get up." "Please get up!" "Would you like something to drink?" "I'm okay." "Wait here for a sec." "Okay." "I'm sorry." "Okay." "Want some coffee?" "I don't like coffee anymore." "The salvia here has withered away." "I'm going." "Take care." "Dong-kyu." "Yes?" "I'm sorry." "Stop the bicycle." "Do you remember?" "Raise your head." "Dong-kyu." "Yes?" "You pass by here all the time, don't you?" "Yes." "How do you cross the river?" "By the bridge." "If there is no bridge, how will you cross it?" "Follow me." "Dad!" "Hold this!" "Now go." "Dong-kyu!" "When you cross a wild river, cross it while holding a heavy rock." "Even though it's heavy, you can't be swept away by the waves." "I... hated dad so much." "But, now I miss dad a lot." "Dong-kyu." "What?" "I'm sorry." "Dad." "Dad!" "Mom, please get on." "Give me that." "Why?" "Just give it to me." "Mom, what's wrong?" "Mother." "You can't even drive well." "You could get into an accident." "Sure you'll be okay?" "Mom." "Mom, what's wrong?" "Mom!" "Honey." "I learned how to drive." "When you recover," "I was going to take you around the country with this car." "Let's go on your last trip." "In the car I'm driving..." "Mom, let's go down." "Mom, stand up." "Mom, stand up." "Ye-won, let's go!" "Yes, grandpa!" "Hello." "Hi." "That..." "Oh, the electrician's shop hasn't opened yet." "Maybe something happened to him." "Looks like I'll need to change it myself." "Hop on!" "I'm fine." "It's not too far." "It's okay, hop on." "Here we go." "Do you need some help?" "That's fine." "I can handle it." "Turn on the light." "Wow, the kids will be happy." "Would you like some cool watermelon?" "It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" "Wouldn't it be wonderful if this great weather continued?" "This day reminds me of a particular song." "It's a song by KIM Eun-jung." "This is "The Elephant on the Bike"."
