"Here it is." " Here it is." " Here it is." "Jung-soo, let's go." "Wait!" "Is there any place to eat around here?" " This is expensive." " What a beautiful it is!"

"When King Ogu sent us down here, why would he send us in these bodies?" "Shouldn't there be a reason?" "Why does that matter?" "That woman recognized me." "Yeah, she kept looking at you."

"He rode on a black cow." "Oh no, a black cow means you're going to hell." "Don't say awful things like that." "She doesn't deserve to go to hell." "If you're really worried, then go see Suk-chool." "But I heard he's not doing the "koot" rituals anymore." "Don't speak nonsense." "Want to go on a date with me?" "Don't laugh, I still have strength." "You can't even get it up." "Want to see then?"

"Mom, how was I born without you being married?" "When I was nineteen," "I was walking down a road at night." "Then someone behind me..." "Pushes me." "That hurt." "And then?" "So I fainted right then." "Didn't it hurt?" "It's strange, but it didn't hurt at all." "So I was lying on a ridge, and inside my stomach, a hot flame flared up." "Then I opened my eyes," "and I saw the round morning sun." "And my stomach swelled up like the round sun." "Was that me?" "Yep, that round sun was my little Jung-soo."

"It's coming out." "It's out!" "Use the money for my "koot" ritual." " A "koot"?" " Yes." "What for?" "To help me go peacefully to the afterworld." "People don't do stuff like that anymore." "Go on a trip to Southeast Asia instead." "Shut up, and call Suk-chool." "Who's Suk-chool?" "Just fulfil my last wish while I'm still alive." "To be honest, the town will get noisy." "Noisy?"

"Then I'll be sent to a fiery hell, and scare you all" "in your dreams every night." "Jung-soo, why are you crying?" "I want to see my dad." "Let's do as I say." "We can't live here." "Mom, why are you crying?" "Let's rent a place in Busan City, and live there together." "And just leave our hometown behind?" "Are you a coward?" "Yeah, I'm a coward." "I hate hearing that I'm seeing a witch." "And I hate when the guys tease me." "Yeah, I'm a witch like you said." "Then don't perform any rituals!" "I can't do that!" "It's something I like doing, so what's wrong with that?" "Young-taek!" "Do you miss dad?" "Yong-boo!" "Father!" "What brings you here?" "We're doing a "koot"!" "Has the town approved of doing a "koot"?" "Mrs. Hwang asked for it, so who's gonna stop her?" "Her family is the oldest in this town." "Father-in-law, what brings you here?" "Come here, your father's here!" "Dad!" "Tell all my daughters to come." "It's been so long I've forgotten how to do "koot."" "The hell with this!" "What's so important about making money?" "Dad, what's wrong with you?" "I can't do it." "The school teaches that "koot" is superstitious." "I'm a teacher, so how can I?" "Why are you being difficult?" "I'm not a shaman!" "I'm crazy about complicated passed time." "A piece of time, so dizzily, makes me so tired I don't need anything" "I wanna fly freely" "No one can catch me any more" "I will fine my life" "Having a courage, crying" "Dad..." "Unbelievable."

"How are you?" "You're still alive." "Is that you, So-hee?" "Yes, it's been so long." "Have you all been well?" " Suk-chool's daughter, right?" " Yes." "I bought some drinks for you." "So-hee is such a nice girl." "Mr. Man-deuk, how are you?" "Please have a drink." "So-hee, what brings you here?" "I came for a "koot."" "Koot?" "This town hasn't done that in a long time." "Mrs. Hwang asked for it." "It's been six years since we've done it." "What does it matter if we get the town's permission or not?" "That's not for you to say." "Six years ago, this whole town agreed not to do "koot" rituals." "So you should follow the agreement." "Agreement?" "You all agreed, not my mother." "What did you just say?" "If you're the town leader, then you should block this." "Then you be the leader." "This is bullshit." "Bullshit?" "Now you insult your elders?" "Times sure have changed." "Don't you have any respect?" "You're talking to me about respect?" "Our family was the most respected in this town." "Weren't you all peasants in the old days?" "I won't allow it!" "If I refuse, then you can't do it!" "I wanna fly freely" "No one can catch me any more" "I will fine my life" "Isn't that Mi-yeon?" "That boy she's with..." "He has no father, doesn't he?" "She shouldn't be in this town." " Where are You going?" " Wait!" " Hey kid." " Mom, it's a dog." " It's a Jindo dog." " No, it's a mutt." "Mi-yeon." "Long time no see." " Hello." " Hello." "Father."

"A widow cleanses her loneliness away" "Everyone, with all our hearts together" "Let's cleanse our soul" "Let's cleanse our soul" "Have you seen her boy?" "He's Yong-taek's kid." "But he could be ours." "I dare you to say that again." "If you ever shoot your mouth about that kid again, you'll be sorry." "It's all in the past." "What can we do now, damn it?" "My wedding is less than a month away." "This is terrible." "If they find out, my engagement is off." "We can't live here anymore." "I'm leaving this town." "Leaving by yourself?" "You son of a bitch!" " Are You leaving us?" " Wanna get drowned, too?" "Hey, asshole." "You fucking asshole." "We killed Yong-taek!" "Asshole, we can't go anywhere!" "That's not true!" "We didn't kill Yong-taek." "He died on his own." "We did nothing wrong." "Don't do anything stupid." "Keep quiet, and don't do anything." "This bald guy asked me to put out an album on ritual music." "How's that gonna make money?" "Heard of indie music?" "He wants to mix indie music with ritual..." "Where are you going?" "What are you doing here?" "You're crazy." "Yong-taek." "Aren't you going to college?" "I like it here." "I like you." "Who were you calling?" "It's nothing." "It's a "koot"!" "Let's go join them!" "Let's go!" "You're crazy, where are you going?" "Come on, lady!" "This is absolutely crazy." "Just keep going straight." "They're coming." "The "koot" is coming!" "Move the dogs." "If there's a dog, the spirits can't come in." "I'll take the dog to my place." "Mister Man-deuk, don't eat our dog." "I won't eat the dog." "I won't eat it." "Let's go, Blackie." "Mom, the "koot" is coming!" "Goodness, you look so pretty." "I feel like I'm getting married today." "Who will you marry?" "Yee-suk, my dead husband, of course." "Suk-chool, welcome." "You look fabulous today." "Not as much as you do." "Welcome." "Welcome." "Thank you for coming." "Let's have a great time today." "I'm too old to play" "What are you doing?" "You'll hurt yourself."

"To put her son through school," "Through school!" "She worked hard selling greens, food, rice cakes, and cloth." "Hey!" "I didn't sell food." "Didn't you say you did?" "You made that up, I never said I sold food." "Since this may be my last ritual, let's speak the truth and go on." "Yes, let's continue." "Okay." "She didn't sell food." "She did." "She did." "Yeah, I did." "I did." "She saved a lot of money selling rice cakes to send her son to college, and gave many offerings to her ancestors, but now she has to leave for paradise." "Her life was lived in vain." "In vain!" "And nothing has changed." "Then offer all our assets instead, so you can go to a better place." "Let's have a King Ogu "koot"!" "Hold on, is that man some thief?" "This "koot" costs 5 million won, and now you want all our assets?" "Come on, kids." "It's all part of the "koot" lyrics." "Don't take it seriously, and just let it pass." "Let's cleanse all her misfortune away" "Cleanse her and send her away" "Let's cleanse all her misfortune away" "Cleanse her and send her away" "Thank you." "Now let's get to the main part."

"Oh, so pitiful, so pitiful." "Now that her breasts have lost its beauty..." "Hey, when have you ever seen my breasts?" "No one knows how hard she lived." "No one knows." "Who will ever know even after she leaves?" "Who will ever know?" "She wants to purge all of her sins, and go to her ancestors." "Yes, I want to go now." "Leave home and go where?" "Does she have anyone to talk to?" "No one!" "No one!" "Does she have any children who knows her suffering?" "I said she has no one!" "You're right." "You're right." "You be my child instead."

"Son of a bitch!" "It's time to move out." " Let go of me!" " Let's go." "You can't do this!" "Why are you letting that filthy girl stay here?" "Weren't your ancestors servants of this home?" "What did you say?" "Yeah, my grandfather was a servant here." "And my father was a peasant." "So what's wrong with that?" "You shouldn't be insulted, too." "Please stop it." " Let go of me!" " It's our fault." "The New Town Movement changed our ways!" "The old government took everything from you, so what gives you the right to do this?" "Yeah, all our land was taken away by the government." "But we were your masters!" "Kick them out!" "My mother-in-law worked hard to protected this home." "How dare you?" "Listen here." "You know, right?" "You could be my father-in-law, so do you mind if I call you dad?" "You're out of your mind." "Are you trying to ruin our home?" "Why?" "Can't take the truth?" "I hate it, too." "I hate thinking I might be a part of your family." "If it wasn't for my father," "I would've never stepped foot in this town." "You rotten bastards!" "Think this place is some battlefield?" "Mother, please stay out of it." "Mr. Suk-chool, please proceed with the "koot."" "I cannot!" "Mrs. Hwang." "All the shamans here cleansed their souls, and are allowed to perform a "koot."" "If a single person here tries to prevent this, we cannot continue." "Isn't "koot" a divine ritual?" "What?" " She works at a bar!" " Kick her out!" "You're right." "I opened a bar to feed my boy." "But what gives you all the right to insult me?" "What kind of people are you?" "If I close down my bar, who'll take care of this child?" "I can't raise him anymore." "Even if I do, he'll only be insulted like his bar-working mother!" "So why don't you take him instead!" "Mommy!" "Why won't you?" "His father is someone in this town!" "Who is his father?" "Please don't be angry." "Who here has the right to complain?" "You all run this girl out of town." "And my son." "My poor young son." "He drowns himself out of guilt." "Do you all know how I feel?" "Do you all really know?" "Do you all know why I asked for this "koot" ritual?" "We're all guilty." "If we don't redeem ourselves, we can't rest in peace when we die." "And more than anything, this boy..." "This boy is a native here." "Is anyone here to claim this child to be his father?" "If there is, speak out now!" "What are you doing?" "That boy is my son." "Are you crazy?" "You're already dead." "You're not a mortal." "Yong-taek..." "This boy is my grandson." "He's my grandson." "Mi-yeon, let's cleanse our pain." "Let's cleanse it." "Mi-yeon, I know you have a beautiful voice." "Please let me hear you sing the King Ogu song." "Life is sorrowful" "As people live their lives" "Some children leave their parents behind" "Some parents leave their children behind" "Some leave early" "Some leave later" "Some leave in their youth" "We're born once and we die once" "Live is liveable" "But she leaves her children behind" "How sad she must be" "To go on a path of no return" "To go forever and ever" "Yes, yes." "People come and go once." "If I had lived a rich life," "I'd be less pitiful than now." "I sold rice cakes to put my son through school." "Now that I can live comfortably," "I have to leave this world soon," "This is so upsetting." "I don't know if I can return." "I'm here for you now" "Take King Ogu's fortune and go to paradise" "I've come to send you" "I've come to send you" "I'm going." "I'm going" "I'm going to paradise" "And I'm leaving this lovely world" "Where are you taking me?" "When can I return?" "We're born once and die once" "Where will I go after I die?" "The one who left the parents" "Is my mother" "Is my mother" "Where can I find her?" "Where can I meet her?" "My baby, Tak." "Please don't call me that in front of all these people." "I'm going to leave now." "Hwang Bok-ryae is dead." "She has gone to paradise." "Mother." "Mother." "Mother!" "Mother!" " Grandma!" " Mother." "After singing half a day, my intestines have coiled up, and my stomach has shrunk." "Give me some food." "Honey, go set him a table." "Here comes the food." "Why'd you slam the table?" "Is there a horse in your belly?" "I have to eat so that I can sing." "No one here can eat in peace like you." "Even though you get paid to sing, try to consider the mood here." "You're out of line." "I get paid to break moods, so what?" "Boy, I'm hungry." "We have a guest." "I offer my condolences." "Thank you very much for coming." "She lived a long life, and rests in peace." "How am I supposed to respond to that?" "Just say that it was nice to meet me." "It was nice to meet you." "Welcome, sir." "Hello." "Hello." "Twice." "Twice?" "Sure." "That's okay." "I'll take it." "I'm going to win." "You lost!" "You're quite lucky today." "Yeah, thanks to you." "Come here." "Go sit next to Mr. Lee." "Take this and stick right next to me." "Hurry and play." "Look at that tramp." "She's going to devour him." "Whichever guy it is, it's gonna be a hot and steamy night." " I'm resting." " Again?" "I have to rest if my hand is bad." "Hey, did you come to just watch?" "Don't deal him a hand next time." "Don't try to show off your money." "Was I trying to show off?" "While my mother was alive" "Mother!" "Cry" "You cry as well" "She went through so much" "I was wrong!" "What did you do wrong?" "Her life became comfortable" "But why did she have to go?" "I want to go, too!" "I can't go!" "I want to live here!" "How pitiful" "How mortifying" "Mother!" "Before my mother dies" "I want to go, too!" "I can't go!" "I want to live here!" "Please kill me!" "I want to live!" "Mother!" "Mother!" "Roll over, roll over" "The wife needs to roll over now" "Roll over." "Roll over." "Oh, my belly!" "The baby might get hurt." "That's enough." "Let's eat." "I'm exhausted." "I'm pooped." "Sister." "Have some." "You can't starve for three days." "Here." "Hey babe!" "I ran home naked last time because of you." "It was humiliating." "Let me touch you just once." "Who do we have here?" "Long time no see." "It's been a long time" "Hey, let's have a drink." "Please stop." " Sit down please, sir" " It was humiliating." "Have a drink Nothing" "Sorry, sir." "Keep it down!" "Mi-yeon, I'm sorry." "Yong-taek?" "What's this?" "She gave it to us to eat." "I want to live in the mortal world." "What?" "I want to be born again." "What's wrong with her?" "It must be labor pains." "My stomach." "What's wrong?" "What's wrong?" " It's coming out." " The baby's coming out!" "Oh dear!" " Grab her." " Why are you biting me?" " Bite your husband." " Bite the towel at least." "Bite this then." "Grab her." "Anybody here!" " Hurry up" " What happen" "Yong-boo!" "Yong-boo, take her to her room." "Mi-sook!" "So-hee!" "Ouch, my cheeks." "Do you feel okay?" "I'm dying." "Careful, careful." "Watch out!" "You all go heat up some water." "Nothing hurts more than labor." "Try to bear it..." "You're Yong-taek, aren't you?"
