"Well, it's more than 50%." "You know, I trust no one more than 49%?" "Hell, no." "You're right." "If you'd become crippled, I'd leave you." "So just stay safe, OK?" "Who wants to get crippled?" "Listen." "Take a swan for an example." "It looks pretty and cool above the water, but you know what's underneath?" "Its feet paddling like hell!" "It's not a joke." "That's life." "How could you let this happen to him?" "I got nothing to say, sister." "When is he gonna recover?" "He is now out of the critical care, but..." "Here..." "Have some..." "I'm too young to be in mourning." "Better make him walk again." "It's the Axes." "We need no more talks." "It's a war." "We don't know for sure if it's the Axes." "Then who?" "Remember Tae-ju got rid of their 2nd guy?" "What's happened is happened." "Take care of the future." "We must reorganize with Weasel." "No." "It's all my fault this had happened." "But it's you we must listen to now." "Are you all with me?" "Stupid bastard." "Couldn't get rid of him in a blow and now you need another one?" "Room 306." "No more mistake!" "Hello, uh, shit..." "What'd you say?" "Who the hell is this?" "Hold everything!" "Just back up." "Quick." "Close the door." "What's the situation analysis?" "You don't even wanna know." "Did you bring the money I asked?" "Just tell me where you are keeping him." "It was me who told you about the attack." "You don't trust me?" "It's best that you don't know." "Tell me." "That's your only way out." "It's all over now." "Just tell me where he is." "Even God can't help you now." "I have the rest of his members." "What's he gonna do alone?" "Just tell me." "Fuck you." "This bastard's from your hometown?" "Do your stuff." "OK." "You win." "Tae-ju..." "He gained consciousness just this morning." "Help me up." "Sir." "Now, this is how you contain a coup d'etat." "Watch and learn." "This is my hidden card." "Is this the Ashtray?" "So, what'd you think about my hidden card?" "It's an ace diamond." "You two are the ace diamonds." "With this pair of aces, I'll never lose another hand." "It took me two full months to contain the coup." "This is the infamous "Ashtray"." "And you know how he got the name?" "No, Boss." "Show your stuff." "Money, cash, green... money... money..." "I'm sick to death of it." "Your worries are all over now." "I was made the number 2 man last night." "Number 2 man?" "What's that?" "I am the second in order." "It's like a branch manager promoted to a vice president." "Whatever..." "Still, you're just a gangster." "It also means you don't need to go to work anymore."

"For some bastard name Rimbaud?" "Who the hell is Rimbaud?" "He's a very famous French poet." "He's like Al Capone in Mafia." "It's a bit naive, I'm sure..." "You must have read a lot of poems." "You can say that, I guess." "I've read all the best sellers." "It figures." "It sounds like a rip off from several different poems." "These days the dogs rip off from the cows, and the cows rip off from the dogs." "You mustn't do that as a poet." "Come sit next to me." "Look into my eyes." "What did you just feel just then?" "Well, I'm not sure..." "That feeling you felt all over your body, with that detail, try to express that feeling in your poem." "That's the homework." "Until next time." "I would like to read your poems." "Could you recommend any of yours?" "Sure." "There's "Dreaming on the linoleum"" "Did it make a best seller?" "No, it's not selling at all." "But a real poet shouldn't care much for success." "Oh, no!" "...I hope to gang up to this emptiness of my lungs." "The regrets eat my fragile soul, I hope to slash'em up." "Oh, how I want the war with the empty dreams!" "I want to take and bury'em all, cut'em all, blow them up and dive into the waving purple sea..." "It was awkward." "It came after a bottle of Ballantine." "You told me to express my true feeling in my poem." "Quite right." "It's bloody fresh and raw words." "I can feel your real feelings now..." "I don't know, it gets tough every time..." "What are you trying to say;" ""diving into the waving purple sea" at the end?" "I'm not sure..." "You need to be true to yourself." "As a poet, you must be true always." "Please stop looking at me like that." "From the very beginning, I could feel you're lonely." "Oh, please stop this..." "Do I look like I'm lying to you?" "The stars shed the tears of roses between both ears." "The stars fall deeply into the ears weeping up the roses." "The eternity runs down your neck and the waste in white." "Ocean colors your warm breast in pearl, and he bleeds on under your arm." "What comes to your mind looking at this?" "Well..." "It's just... an ashtray." "No." "That's the mind of ordinary people." "I see the life of the world." "Burn their souls and wasted..." "This dude seems decadent, this dude's sexy." "See?" "You need to have the eyes." "Analytical eyes in looking, even at an ashtray." "For some, ashtray is used as a knife." "Huh?" "How can I achieve those eyes?" "You've already got it ma'am." "Don't call me that." "All the famous poets had lovers." "Like Goethe." "Who was it?" "Lotte." "Dante's Beatrice." "What about Rimbaud?" "Call me by that name." "Verlaine." "Oh, no can't do." "Why not?" "She's a he." "That Rimbaud guy, is he that great?" "He doesn't look all that big shot to me." "What can I say..." "He' got the touch!" "Detailed and sensitive." "Poetic even." "You know what else?" "He showed me the world I never knew." "How long are you keeping him?" "Did you promise him anything?" "I'm gonna quit him, soon." "Hand him over to me when you're done with him." "Let me make my poetic debut." "It's him!" "My poor soul like the molds growing on the linoleum..." "It gives me the creeps." "Let's go." "It's a whole new world learning the poetry." "It'll move you." "There are only three things move me in this world." "Cash, credit card, and sex." "Sons of bitches." "It's the symphony orchestra of fucking." "Hey, yo!" "Who are you to disturb us?" "Is that your wife you just fucked?" "How does it become your business?" "Me?" "Your wife sent me." "I'm not going to lie to you." "Just think of the good old days and zip me up just once." "You know Tae-ju; he'll kill me." "Just zip me up." "I'll do anything you ask." "Hurry up and get out." "He'll be here soon." "You're telling me now?" "It's not his fault." "Don't hurt him." "You worry for him now?" "Ok, got it." "You fucking shit." "Are you high or what?" "No, I'm a poet." "A poet?" "I guess then you write shit like roses are red, violets are pink and shit?" "It's blue." "I know." "I know" "So poets can go around fucking anyone they want?" "What?" "Just sit tight there." "I thought I'd die there." "Who were they anyway?" "They all referred her as their sister in law." "Are they?" "Just forget her." "You shall teach me from now." "No." "I'm gonna quit my part time job and focus on my own work." "You are ignoring me now?" "Oh, no." "That's not it." "I'm decided not to repeat this." "Whatever." "Just help me make my debut." "Honestly, I know nothing, Mr. Rambo." "Help me with the lessons while I play with you." "It's Rimbaud, not Rambo." "And I'm not for sale." "Let me tell you something." "Hyun-ji has more than a hundred brothers." "And her husband's my brother in law." "Do the math, it's also my brothers, too." "You think they'll let you live if I tell?" "Maybe you'll be writing poems on a wheel chair." "That'll make your hubby, like, the godfather..." "Just five lessons, and I'll leave you alone." "So, it'll be my guys in charge here from now on." "You think the Axes would let me?" "Torn in between, I may become the shrimp caught in the middle of whales' fight." "Don't worry about the others." "They'll be quiet soon." "I'm not going down." "Not like this." "Should've waited there." "Many of your guys took the blow." "I'm sorry, boss." "You always need to watch you own ass." "Not a day less of 365 days a year." "Your wife spent the past four nights up." "Waiting for you to wake." "She saved you." "Thank you." "You made it." "Can we have a baby?" "Why now?" "It just occurred to me when I took the blow," "I mean, I want to leave something of mine behind." "Never mind." "Tae-ju," "I'm so sorry." "For what?" "Just because..." "Poem Number 24."

"The clean air and the public facility and all." "How old are you?" "62, year of tiger." "Honestly." "It won't benefit you to lie about your age." "64, year of dragon." "I'm 36, year of tiger, I'm older." "You Are." "Well, you'll be my older brother then." "Fuck you." "I don't want a gangster as a brother." "Look, I'm older and a lot smarter." "Don't even think about fooling me." "Good morning, sir." "Goddamnit, you think this is a scene from 'the God Father'?" "21st century is tomorrow." "This is fucking shit." "This is exactly why they call you hoodlums." "What the..." "Say hello." "This is the famous..." "Stupid bastards." "Let them wait outside of the complex from now on." "I've saved for ten years to buy this house, chasing after bastards like you." "Come here." "Son of bitch!" "I'm gonna fine you for littering, you little punk." "Who the fuck." "That... fucking punk." "What's up, boss." "Good..." "Miss." "Kim." "Get my lawyer on the phone." "Come in." "So, did you check out the guy?" "He's no piece of cake." "We gotta keep an eye on his ass." "Who's the prick?" "I'll just ashtray him out." "Now." "The business." "Give your reports." "I had a meeting with the head yakuza guy." "He's rushing us on the Hotel Peace project." "He's probably pushed himself." "Choi, Is he still hiding in LA?" "Yes, sir." "We should have ashed them all at the start." "You overly trusted Tae-ju." "They saw us easy." "There are times you can't ash'em." "We don't need the attention." "That's right." "Just look what happened to the shitkickers." "They were sentenced... 15 years," "Release in the year 2010." "What?" "When was this?" "Watch the news!" "You have to learn what goes around here to survive." "Not you, Miss." "Kim." "Put him through." "Have you heard much about Dong-pal?" "I see, yes." "Check him out thoroughly." "I'll see you tomorrow." "A 'nuclear bomb'." "Fucking nuclear bomb." "He bombed several families already." "Open your eyes and learn something." "You know how I hate to read, boss..." "I've been telling you all." "If you would try half as hard as Tae-ju." "He speaks Japanese, so I let him handle Hotel Peace." "See?" "21st century is tomorrow." "American mafias recruit new members on the..." "Inter... inter..." "what you may call it?" "You mean internet?" "Yes, internet." "That's how they recruit." "The world's turning so fast." "And still, you." "You know what Internet is?" "Isn't that the cop thing?" "That's INTER-POL!" "And this is an Intercom!" "Can you even tell apart your shit from bean paste?" "It's not to you Miss." "Kim." "What?" "The Axes." "Put him through." "So, what did you want to see me for?" "About the Hotel Peace project." "That's just none of your business." "Calm down." "I'm not saying we want a share." "I got a message from a pimp the other day." "He's been eyeing on that hotel for number of years." "He put an offer out for Hotel Peace with his buddy pimps." "The deal is almost complete at 10 million." "You're taking the hotel for 9 mil?" "So, is it a war?" "Have a taste of this." "It's the best here." "Have some" "We grew together here, huh?" "I'm number 2 of the axes and you're number 3." "Bull shit." "Who the fuck said that?" "I'm No.2!" "It was a step down after you got stabbed." "Bull shit." "I handle all the essentials." "2, 3 are the same." "It's No. 1 takes all here, isn't it?" "Delivery." "We didn't order fried wonton." "It's on the house for our loyal customers." "Support one for all." "Yes!" "Fuck." "It's been over two weeks." "I'm so sick of chow-men." "Soon..." "What's the balance?" "About a couple hundreds." "We could work at a construction site." "Gangsters." "Thugs." "We never sweat for anything, and gain anything we want." "Let' wait little more." "It'll come to us soon." "Let's rap it up." "What I emphasize is the Hungry-ism." "It's defined empty in the stomach." "H-U-N..." "Well..." "I know you've been living off of chow-men." "I know." "You want hot rice with beef stew, I know." "It's the kind of discipline." "Discipline." "You know why we don't got any champs these days?" "It's lack of the hungry-ism." "We're all lack of it." "Back then, the boxers were hungry." "They lived off of ramens." "Chaves?" "The hungry boxer? "Ma, I got the champion"" "It's all ramen." "Not just boxing." "And that, Jordan, he, too, was hungry and became a world champion in the track." "It's basketball, sir." "Wait outside." "Come in." "Lis, Listen carefully." "If I say the sky, sky is re, red, it is red, OK?" "If I call this red, it's red." "Got it?" "If I say it is." "OK?" "You punks?" "Jordan, it's Jordan." "Anybody opposing, I'm gonna kill in a blow." "From now on, I'll kill." "So..." "And..." "Ah, fuck!" "I forgot what I was gonna tell." "You were talking about the Hungry-ism." "Yes, hungry-ism." "We all need to learn this." "Soon, it'll be all peachy." "Mercedes, we'll all drive one, room salon, it'll soon be our home ground." "I promise."

"Your kinds these days, you're only good in carving work." "Shit." "Gotta take a dump." "Let me give you a word of wisdom." "Whatever you are going to do, don't do it." "Pay back what you took, and" "Stroke what you scarred." "Then whatever you are going to do, do it." "Shit, gotta take a dump." "You thought it right." "It's all over with the sex industry." "Girls are leaving me everyday." "All because of bad economy." "It is the worst after the fall of Roman Empire." "You absolutely need a half a million?" "I bet ya, you'll double and triple the money." "We'll control the underworld." "Control the underworld?" "How?" "Quid pro quo." "Let them fight." "It's a sure way to get rid of both."

"Get him out of my side." "Let's take a look at the contract." "With all this money, you could have made a donation." "We'll take this and make it useful, OK?" "Fine, fine." "I don't want to see you round here again." "If I see you again, your head will be in my duffle bag." "It was too much." "A standard excessive force." "You're gonna pay for it soon." "You watch your own ass." "You accomplished nothing." "You got no guts." "You are full of shit in your head." "That's too much, sir." "You little punk." "Am I talking to you now?" "I'm sorry, sir." "Fuck you." "Mother fucker!" "Want a dent on your heart?" "It's even in the Bible." "Rise with ashtray, fall with ashtray." "Watch out." "Hello?" "Wait." "Sir, sir." "It's Mr. Choi from Hotel Peace, boss." "Mr. Choi?" "It's Tae-ju." "I hope you're well." "You shit here and disappeared." "Nobody can clean but you." "You need to be back by the weekend." "It'll be worse if you don't." "I know you got two daughters." "One in college and the other in high school." "I can make them whores and send them to Yum, the famous pimp?" "What time is it?" "Half passed midnight." "It's my only wish to sleep in late these days." "I thought a gangster would have it easy." "Me?" "I work almost an average 12 hours a day."

"Let's not talk business after hour." "Work hours for a hoodlum like you?" "A gangster, please, not a hoodlum." "A gangster?" "Have you watched the movie," ""the Godfather"?" "They got some prestige and elegance." "Loyal and classic." "But you!" "You are far from the characters in Godfather." "You're just a hoodlum." "Is it a family thing or a job thing?" "Why do you pick on my kind so much?" "I just hate your kind." "It drives me insane when they say punish the crime, not the criminal." "What a joke." "It's the criminal we must punish." "Crime is not guilty, it's the criminal." "Do I look that easy?" "You know how many men I had to slaughter to get up here?" "With our knives and the bath money, that's all we need." "A hundred grand?" "I can collect in an hour." "You ask how come we don't make it to a millionaire?" "It's the IRS." "You know how many seats we provided in the Congress?" "Many." "A piece of advice." "Leave us alone." "A prominent nail gets the hammer." "Fuck you." "Are you threatening a prosecutor?" "Do I look like a dumb fuck?" "You have fuck on your tongue."

"I got a ten year old son, and he's threatened by sixth graders in his school for the lunch money." "You know what they call themselves?" "It's the "Blood Bath" they call themselves." "My son has donated a couple hundred bucks already." "Fuck the world." "Worse yet, I don't even have a child." "You ask why do I pick on your kind?" "Big fish bites his way out;" "a small fish can swim out." "Then it's the middle kind" "I get to pick on, like, you." "The kind taking bribery;" "like a politician, and their offsprings, and the kind living off of the offsprings." "Sons of bitches, they don't know what a hard work means." "I can only try not to be tempted." "I can only try myself as well." "So just leave me alone." "Do whatever you want;" "but you're gonna pay for it." "Whatever you wanna do, don't." "I'm not gonna just sit back and watch." "So, you know Doe-sick?" "A dent on his chest." "I gave him five years ago." "I could call for my boys." "Got about fifty of them." "They could clean him up for good." "But I want it done quietly." "Leave it to me." "I'll clean up quietly." "Just four of you?" "Have a look at this." "Would you like a demonstration?" "No." "You can put it away." "You know what our goal is?" "We want to hit big and, become the most wanted." "It would be the Pegasus on a jet." "But, in case things go wrong..."

"Some smart ass said that." "Who was the bastard?" "Nostradamus said that." "Damn." "Our cook is a regular professor." "I need a smoke." "Have you got a single?" "Oh, I'm out of cigarettes." "Hey you, You gotta cigarette?" "Can you guys quiet down?" "I'm trying to get a drink here." "Did you here what I heard?" "Get him!" "Kill him!" "Move away!" "Destroy all!" "Run!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "A slap in the face of a crying baby." "Rain drops keep falling on my head..." "You guys need more training." "Start packing;" "we're going back to the mountain." "For two week from now." "Back to the mountains." "What's with you these days?" "It's the fire if not a stab." "I'm so sick of your shit." "It's such a put down." "You called for me." "Why at the food wagon?" "Why not at the room saloon in your turf?" "This would have costed you..." "Will you shut up?" "You two are hopeless." "Why not just kill each other and get it over with?" "How can I maintain this family?" "Hands off on the hotel thing." "Maintain your home ground." "Let Ashtray handle it." "Boss, hotel thing was my thing." "With your burned face?" "That Mr. Choi needs to wake up and smell the ashtray." "It will be 2 o'clock in the morning when I get home." "My wife waits with a glass of wine while I take a shower." "We talk about our days, and sometimes our son joins us." "Sometimes we talk until dawn." "It feels great to see the sun coming out the morning mist with your loved ones." "I call it happiness." "I want a baby..." "What do you think?" "Told you I tied my tube." "Get the operation." "Just two grand." "I want a baby as much as you." "Don't rush me." "I will rush you, then." "I got other shit I need to care for." "You're so irritable." "15 years with a knife and fists." "I want to make the No. 1." "Is that it?" "A gangster boss?" "Say what?" "You think I do this only for myself?" "Not for me either." "You know what it is like to wait for you every night?" "I worry you might get stabbed again." "Do as you please." "I don't want to live this way either." "Not live like this?" "You were a hostess waiting on the drunks;" "I saved you." "Al Capone speaking!" "You're only a thug yourself." "What?" "I have worries, too." "I wanna quit and have a family in a small village by a coast." "But I can't now." "Have you seen anybody with kids in a gangster movie?" "With kids, you become weak, then you're finished as a gangster." "You know why we don't see kids in gangster movies?" "It's because there's no future for someone like you." "Damn it." "Oh, it feels great to work out." "Yes." "You work out everyday?" "Yes." "Of course." "It's important to us." "You must have been disappointed, being ignored." "Yes..." "Uh, no, boss." "Ashtray took care of the deal with" "Hotel Peace at 9.6 million." "Sometimes..." "it's best to use the ashtray." "The cigarette you gave me after you saved me was the best I ever had." "I will never forget." "Ashtray, he's too ignorant." "He doesn't understand." "He's not fit for a boss material." "I just heard that Dong-pal is on our case." "I don't think it'd be wise to ashtray him out." "But I can't leave this problem." "It's from my wife." "She said to give this to you." "It's finished, boss." "Wait out there." "I hope you don't take this personally." "Let's not hold grudges." "Stop the bull shit and pull then trigger, but let me make this clear." "You can't kill a bird by pricking a couple of feathers." "With a thousand prosecutors in this country and 90 more each year, the investigation will continue." "You'll be found guilty." "You're only a feather yourself." "They wouldn't have you commit this murder if they wanted you to be their successor." "We tried hard, but You and me, we are all No.3." "No.3?" "Is that your last word?" "CHAOS (keias) n, 1. total disorder 2. state of complete and through disorder and confusion" "I'm bringing the Japs tonight." "Clean up the VIP room and call up the prettiest girls." "Ah, get some fresh sea squirt." "It's their favorite dish." "CHAOS" "Another quiet day." "It seems completely buried." "It'll take some time to find." "You're flying out tonight?" "Yes." "How come you don't bring your wife?" "I'll eventually." "Give it a year; it'd be quiet." "Then, take over my chair." "You're No.1 starting today." "Get away, get away." "God damn son of a bitch." "Is that an ashtray?" "This is it for chowmen." "Starting tomorrow, it's either feast or prison rations." "Before the assignment tonight, I wanna tell you a story." "I knew a guy name Karate Choi." "Wondering around the world, challenging the best." "He could kill a bull with his bare hands." "This was his style." "Standing in front of a bull, he just grabbed on the horns and started bashing in between the horns." "Just like this until the horns come off." "Same with the rednecks." "There comes a redneck towards Choi." ""Hey, Johnson?" "You, Robert Johnson?" "I'm Choi." Then Choi walks straight to him, and Johnson will go, like, who the fuck, who the fuck?" "He'll step back, you know?" "Look." "It's only natural, anyone would do the same to defend." "Choi then grabs like this," "Mother f, f, fucker" "'Dickhead isn't this your part of flesh?" "'" "Then he keeps hitting the shit out of this arm until it breaks." "Live and let die." "Live and let die-ism." "We need to keep that in our heads." "Son of a bitch." "What assholes order sea squirt at a room saloon?" "I hate the fucking Japs, it's in my blood." "Fucking insisting our island, Dock-do, is theirs?" "To me, there are two kinds of Japs." "The fucking kind, and the sucking kind." "Oh, the sea squirt!" "It's delicious!" "For the success of our new hotel business and the safe trip for Tae-ju," "Let's have a toast." "Ganbai!" "For your debut." "Honestly, any joe shmo can be a poet these days with money." "There are three thousand poets in this small country." "To find a decent poet, it's like looking for a needle from a hey stack." "When I read your poems, something hit me in the back of my head." "Goose bumps." "I have this feeling it'll make it big." "You must publish your material." "I don't think I'm good enough." "You must be kidding." "Like I said, you're made to be a poet." "I have already the title." "What was it?" "At twenty nine, sex is over." "Isn't it too gaudy?" "How... did you..." "So, which is your tutor?" "Twenty more minutes, OK?" "You!" "Get out to the hall and take care of them." "Yes." "Damn the Japs." "Do they really have to eat Japanese here?" "I never wanna do business with the Japs no matter how profitable." "I hate the Japs, it's in my blood." "My grandpa was in the independence movement under Japanese Occupation." "See, he carried the movement leader's lunchbox." "What is he saying about us?" "He said he hates the Japs." "Huh, what the fuck are you glaring at?" "Please stop calling us Japs." "We don't like it." "Oh, a Japanese born Korean?" "He learned in the language school." "That guy with dent on his face, that's your 2nd guy?" "Yes, he is." "Translate this." "I'm gonna ashtray him out if he glares at me one more time." "Ashtray out?" "Just tell him that." "From now on, stop calling them Japs." "Stop saying all the Jap slang." "Sashimi is knife." "Okane is money," "O-ya-boong is godfather, got it?" "Yes, sir." "Shit." "Wait a minute." "Nawabari is Jap slang, too." "Fuck!" "Take and bury them, cut'em all and blow them up... cut'em, cut'em" "This is easy to understand and deep." "The poet probably has a gangster in the family." "Start up the gear." "We begin at midnight on the dot." "This is the last lesson." "But not here..." "Your husband's in here..." "So what?" "It's more thrilling." "Please!" "Please stop." "We're not animals." "You wanna end your life here?" "You know what'll happen if I scream right now?" "Shouldn't we say good bye to your boss?" "Hyun-ji, how much do you trust me?" "What are you talking about?" "Just tell me." "How much?" "What's going on?" "You're all I got left." "I am in deep trouble." "A trouble?" "What's going on?" "This is it for me as No.3." "I quit, it's over today." "No more No.3." "Tae-ju, wait!" "Sit, sit." "What's happened?" "Was something wrong with their lunchboxes?" "They're driving us nuts." "These Japs were telling us," ""Hong Kong is returned, Dock-do must be returned to Japan, too."" "There's even a song about it." "Listen carefully." "'East from the furthest island sits Dock-do, our lonely island, a home for the seabirds," "170,000m², a well and a crater.'" "Now." "Ask your 2nd guy who the island belongs to." "He's asking whose island Dock-do is." "Stupid punk." "Of course it's Japanese." "Stupid question!" "Of course it's Japanese." "Ask him again." "I think you didn't translate right." "Again, Dock-do belongs to Japan, of course." "Again, he says it's Japanese island." "Ask him one more time." "He's asking one more time." "Uh, Dock-do..." "Dock-do... belongs to belongs to not Korea." "Not Korea." "Stop this nonsense." "Knock it off." "I'll be back." "And I'm gonna ask again." "You'd better have the correct answer by the time I come back." "Don't forget this is my home ground." "I think I require additional private lessons." "Oh, the boss is looking for you." "Got it." "You!" "What were you doing with my sister in law?" "Uh, we were just talking about poetry..." "What the fuck!" "You are a dead man!" "Sorry, sorry..." "Ashtray is down." "Kill'em all." "Tae-ju!" "Tae-ju!" "Tae-ju!" "Ah, there!" "That guy in white shirt." "Get him, get him." "Oh, my god!" "Turn on the lights." "Turn on the lights." "Stupid assholes, couldn't wait a second." "Clean up these bodies." "No regrets?" "You always wanted to become No.1." "Fuck, there's no number one here." "It's all the third class kind." "You, me, Dong-pal and everybody in this world is No.3." "Yes, yes." "I'll see you at the court." "You'll be called as a witness." "We'll talk..." "Hello?" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Fuckin' asshole!" "This asshole just hung up on me." "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "Bribery, attempted murder, battery, tax evasion, fraud..." "You're 42 this year." "Add 20." "And then," "Your life in this century is over as we speak." "So, in trust is treason, huh?" "You think Tae-ju will see the 21st alive?" "So, your mission was to get rid of Doe-sick?" "This is big." "It'll be all over the newspaper." "Except for one thing." "Don't forget you are just hoodlums, not gangsters." "I'm not gonna be able to relate you three with any other families." "Tell me who's behind this." "I can't tell you even if it kills me." "Our boss will kill us all before you know it." "So you won't confess, huh?" "Fine, you shitkickers." "Fine these guys and dismiss the case." "We ain't no shitkickers." "You've seen our spear." "We've put our lives on the line." "God damn it." "Dismiss them!" "I'll speak." "No, don't!" "Fuck you two." "No shitkicker after what I had been through." "Then you'll relay us to the group if I tell?" "Of course." "I'll relay you to the biggest group I know." "By the way, you 're the Phoenixes jumped into the gangsterhood with just your balls and a knife?" "You thought that was it?" "Fuck the world, that's how I feel these days." "I know that he was a bad guy." "All he's known in his life is to beat up, threat, and deceive." "I know he is unforgivable." "It's the crime and not the criminal we hate, right?" "So, what the fuck you want me to do?" "At any cost, you must save Tae-ju." "Dogs don't bite the feeding hands." "Think of him like he's your brother." "OK, got it." "Go home now." "He's not a bad guy." "And he'll always have me to love, and I'll be there for him." "Fuck!" "He fucks me even when he's not around." "Oh my god, you said the F word?" "That's so cool!" "I dig that."

"Let go of my hand." "Yo, you little bitch..." "That was Notredamus... shit." "Bull shit." "It was Nosirdamus." "Wanna bet?" "Dudes, like, What are you talking about?" "It's about that asshole who said this world would come to an end in 1999, and shit." "What was the name?" "Notredamus." "He's got 30% of my look." "Puh..." "I'm saying he's got 70% of your look." "It's fortunate." "And his name." "Get him a Korean one," "Not Jimmie." "Jimmie?" "Huh..." "An interview when you are out, and you need to swear in." "Dong-pal really backed us up." "Thanks." "I got a question." "How much do you trust me now?" "51%" "Don't you get it yet?" "When I trust someone 51%, that means I trust full 100%." "Come here." "49% means I don't trust at all, got it?" "Like father like son, you two look like one of a kind."
