I need to go see my wife in

the hospital afterwards.

It hasn't been long since

you took out the last one.

Its not hat long until pay day.

Just wait.

This is aluminium, this is steel.

This one you can throw away.

These are the kinds that you can put on

the ground and crush with your feet.

You only get to paid for this kind.

Get it? You try.

Why aren't you at school?

You know you're not supposed to skip...

you cant grow up to be somebody.

You should be playing with

friends and going to school.

You can't just stay at home.

We are bringing all of this

so that you can study hard.

You cant skip school

You have to study hard.

Okay? Cha Eun.

Okay,

Hello Maam. This is rice from

the District office. Bye.

Jesus is Love.

Through the ability of the Holy Spirit Jesus was resurrected after His death.

This is why Saints prove the....

That's it!

Thats the one! Yeah baby!

The Minister must have practiced

pool instead of preparing sermons.

Deacon Kim. Come over here.

This is our Church's weekly magazine.

Can you put a picture of Jesus here, an ad,

and also the Church's events?

We need about 500 pamphlets.

Dont worry about it, I'll take care of it.

I'll leave it up to you Deacon Kim.

Is there anything wrong?

You don't come to choir

practice like you used to.

Oh, just been a little busy.

What are you talking about?

What's more important than God?

Oh.. busy doing this and that.

By the way

are you studying the Bible a lot?

I can't say that I'm studying.

Oh, by the way,

yesterday I went fishing.

I caught some, take it home

and cook spicy fish soup.

Did you catch a lot?

Did you go alone?

No, I went with the minister.

Deacon Kim,

you should come with us some time.

We can fish and have some drink.

I heard your daughter has been accepted for

entering Seoul National University. Congratulations!

It was through the strength

of everyone's prayer.

Of course, it was through the grace of god.

I used to work there not that long ago.

I still haven't gotten the

other half of my paycheck.

When do you think I'll get it?

Yes, thanks.

Hello?

Is this the Se-Heung Taxi company?

I am calling because of

your ad in the classified...

It's been a while since youve gotten your taxi license.

Yes.

Can I have your signature stamp?

Let's go.

There are two shifts in a day.

When you come back, fill up the tank and tidy up the car.

Yes.

In the old days you could do joint rides

and get a little extra money.

These days you cant do that.

Mr. Lee. Say Hi,

this is our new driver.

Hi, I'm Lee Gi Ju.

Oh. Im Seong Cheul.

Okay, Mr. Lee. Tell him what he needs

to know so that he can start work today.

Make sure you tell him all the important information.

Yes.

Get in the cab first.

Done this before? Taxi driving?

No. this is my first time.

Really?

Yes.

The economy is so bad the streets are

pretty empty. It's hard to find customers.

Ive been doing this for 8 years.

Sometimes, you can't even make enough

to pay the fee for the taxi company.

It's going to be hard.

What did you do before?

Oh, I just worked at

a construction site.

Wouldnt that be better?

I think paycheck there must

be higher than a taxi driver's.

Yeah. but these days the construction

companies are also in bad shape.

Oh man! It doesn't matter what we guys do

We're screwed.

A customer gets into a taxi

you press the meter button,

get to your destination,

press the meter button.

Simple, right?

Yes

You'll do well.

Its not like youre going to starve.

Go for a round. You'll learn better doing the job.

Sure.

Do you know the shift times?

Yes. 3 o'clock.

Yeah, at 3 fill up your gas tank.

Ok

Have a good day.

I'm getting guys coming to everyday

I'm sorry but I'm dying here, too.

They file bankruptcy and play dumb

while I'm stuck with the bill.

I bought everything on credit. Damn!

Those sons-of-b*tches!

Anyhow that's the situation.

Mister, Jang An-Dong please.

Im going on delivery.

Okay, see you later.

Mr. Kim, shouldn't the words

be redder than this?

Plus, I'd like the draft

I'd also like another phone

number on top of here.

Yeah. Just use these.

You don't have a lot

These are 500, right?

Yes.

Next time, please stick to what Ive requested.

Ok.

Your brother-in-law doesn't

know that you're out yet.

So Don't call at my house.

And this, use it to pay for utility

bills and your medication.

Oh, wait.

Oh, Wait...

your brother-in-law doesn't wear this.

He says it's too big for him.

It's new.

It's not that cold.

Don't you have to move out?

They're going to demolish it soon.

Yeah. I should be.

I've still got a little time.

It's warm.

Don't call at my home. If anything

happens, call on my cell phone.

Alright.

Drive carefully.

Yes.

I better get going.

He's doing well right?

Yeah, you should go home.

This is a domestic product

so the after service is great.

On top of that, there's a 50% discount,

which is for a limited time.

Do you want to buy a game?

If I were you, Id buy it.

It's a good product.

I'll take it.

Alright, I'll ring it up.

Thank you.

How much is this?

Look, I think you're going around.

Back there, you should have taken a left.

Wed have been in Itaewon by now.

Oh my god, I'm late as it is.

I can't believe this.

I'm sorry miss.

This is my second day on the job.

I'll give you a discount.

What, you think this is

because of the taxi fare?

You're making me late for

my appointment.

You shouldn't be driving if

you don't even know the roads.

Just my luck to get into a

lousy cab like this.

I'll give you back the taxi fare.

Would you like to take another taxi?

What... are you joking?

Did I say it was because of

the taxi fare?

You're making me late.

What are you going to do?

I can't believe my luck!

I'm just a driver but dont

you think youre out of line?

You think I'm out of line...

what are you going to do?

You're the one who doesn't know the

roads. What are you going to do?

Listen, youre going over the top. I told

you I can give you the taxi fare.

Why are you mentioning

the taxi fare again?

Do you go around
