"Will you go with Eun-yong?" "No need for that.." "Get me a small camera and enough tapes." "Okay." "I dream," "..the same dream every night." "Strange, isn't it?" "How can one keep on having the same dream?" "What I remember about our first fight is..." "Having no dinner, was typical, but in the sink.." "It was all yours, your mess.." "Dishes were piled up to here." "Basically I think, I could deal without dinner, but she could have washed the dishes for me to cook something.." "It was all yours I say!" "Anyway, washing the dishes, sulking, the phone rang." "In a drunken slur, she announced she'd be out late drinking with classmates." "I started shouting about the dirty dishes." "She became angry herself, screaming that she was disappointed in me, that she won't come home." "I panicked, and apologized.." "But it was that moment I lost all hope." "Realizing this other side of hers." "I think our relationship matured after we married." "I think my life became more materially richer."

"It was like the movies." "Embracing the fortunate, with so much snow." "There was a small overpass connecting the valley." "As we crossed the snow-covered bridge," "Yong kissed me on the forehead." "I think we said something like." "Life won't be as rich as this moment." "Nor as great." "But we know that it'll be this moment we remember." "What?" "Yong is your age." "So?" "Isn't he such a powerful dancer?" "He said he wants to perform until he's sixty." "Didn't you say you hated cynical men like him?" "What I mean is, he is so full of energy on the stage.." "SHIN Gyu-ho is the cynical one." "That's what you think." "Did you see him tear up when he talked about his first love?" "I believe he's a real softie." "Really?"

"Olivier, can you put this on?" "How did it go?" "Sokurov's such a picky person, it's almost impossible to bring up the word, 'interview.'" "We'll manage with the footage from Cannes Film Fest." "Once you take the camera in your hands, it is impossible to capture the truth.." "Everything is distorted." "You are deaf to the situation at hand." "I don't think we should go in together."

"She smokes though.." "I slept with a smoker once." "When I kissed her, she tasted like an ashtray." "That's why." "But with this girl, it's different." "Her nicotine is even sweet.." "I didn't know I had to shut my eyes." "So I had them open until I saw his eyes closed." "I realized that this must be how it's done." "Where's the next interviewee?" "He said he might not make it.." "We may have a cancellation.." "Maybe cancelled or cancelled?" "Yes sir." "Yes sir?" "What's wrong with you?" "Let's take a break!" "I need some fresh air." "Outside?" "Ugh~my back..and knees ache." "Okay." "Let's leave the camera here." "Nobody will take it." "You think so?" "Yeah." "Mr. CHOI will be mad." "He wants us to guard it with our life." "So the camera is more important than your life?" "So, what kind of movie do you want to make?" "A blockbuster with a superstar!" "Got a script?" "Script?" ".." "I'll have to write one." "Let's sit at the rear end." "Yeah." "Don't you get tired of repeating the same questions?" "Each story seems the same.." "But each time there's a different answer." "By the way." "Eun-yong.." "Don't you think she's cute?" "She blushes to any kind of criticism." "But she seems assertive and pretty logical when she's making a point." "She's pretty," "..especially her eyes." "She's the perfect size, too." "Have a crush on her?" "What?" "I never said that!" "You're just 4 months younger." "Go for it!" "That's why I can't take you seriously." "An older woman~ great ." "Jong-ho." "Give it a shot!" "You could be her uncle anyway." "Next footage please." "Did you say it was Yong?" "Yes." "I don't understand why we broke up." "She just, ..suggested it one day." "I lost touch of her since." "That's how it is." "The most important thing is," "..all his life, Yong walked a straight line." "What he's doing is quite big." "I was worried that I'd be more a burden than of any help." "Thinking how my parents fretted over my sickness.." "I can't do this to Yong again." "That was my main concern.." "Love Studio" "Female contestant No. 1!" "I should stop eating.." "Hey, Young-hee, have some." "She's been so coy, then picks another man." "It's like copulating." "So what?" "You think they've got 'marriage' on their minds?" "They just want the attention.." "Wonder if I should try.." "Hello?" "Who is this?" "Hi, Byung-gwon.." "Tomorrow?" "Okay, great." "What time?" "Seven?" "Okay." "I'll see you tomorrow." "Bye." "Excuse me?" "Young-hee?" "Relax, tell them you listen to customers," "..wash their hair, clean the towels.." "You're an assistant.." "So tell them it's tough." "Something like that." "Okay?" "Can you lower the volume?" "Yes." "Lying can become a habit." "You'll get used to it, trust me.." "I guess that doesn't apply to you." "Just talk about my family." "You know them pretty well." "Remember my grandfather?" "I was hospitalized for saying I wanted to dance." "So say your grandpa made your life hell about beauty school." "You can make that up, okay?" "Ready?" "We're ready." "Shall we begin?" "How's it like at the beauty parlor?" "It isn't easy." "Standing up all day, my legs get swollen." "And my hands get wrinkled from the chemicals." "Then I have to wash the customers' hair, ..run errands.." "I'd like to get some shots of the beauty parlor, is it okay?" "Out of the question!" "My boss won't like it!" "Any particular reason for choosing this job?" "I liked to play with hair since I was young." "Every morning I put ornaments In grandmother's hair."

"Once upon a time, a shrimp lived under the sea." "One day, it met the octopus." "The two began a fight, and the shrimp was beaten up." "Crying all the way, the shrimp went to the whale and told him that it got beaten up by a bald creature with many legs." "Enraged, the whale was determined to get the octopus." "He waited outside the bastard's door for 4 days." "But it was the squid that finally showed up." "On sight, the whale swam up to the chap, grabbed it by the neck." "Know what he said?" "Nope."

"just shut up and shame on you!" "Aw shit!" "I get the message!" "Good evening!" "Come on in." "Hi!" "Jong-ho!" "Over here!" "Here" "Thanks." "Take it easy on the drinks." "You'll be a mess tomorrow." "Jong-ho, eat up." "Thanks." "Hello?" "Honey?" "I won't be late.." "Something important to discuss with the director." "Yeah, I know, Uh..me too.." "You're a newlywed." "You should be thrilled by your wife's calls." "I am." "It's just that I feel bad staying out all the time." "Hey, did Gyu-ho get in touch with his ex?" "Which one among the three?" "The one who's just back from the U.S.." "Oh!" "No. 2!" "I think Gyu-ho must have really liked this one." "He waited, then shaved his head when she didn't call." "Who would think of such a thing!" "It's because they don't know you." "I guess so." "You're so understanding." "Eun-yong, heard that?" "Guess I don't know you very well." "That's cause I don't want to ." "Hey..you.." "Who wouldn't want to know a guy like me?" "Grow up!" "Mr. CHOI, let me pour you a drink." "Why don't we shift to slammers!" "Can we have some more beer and glasses?" "I knew you were a great gal!" "Let's drink ourselves to death." "Why not?" "Grandma first.." "Hey, where's Young-hee?" "Where are you going before a toast.." "Eun-yong, Jong-ho!" "Break it up!" "You're too close to each other."
