not to gamble.

Right. It would be best

to stop here.

It's for fun,

not to make a fortune.

Shut up, you queer.

What? What did you say?

I called you a queer.

If you're not, why did

your wife ran away from you?

What? Do you have proof?

Sheer nonsense!

You yourself must be a queer.

You rascal!

What's wrong with this guy?

If you want me, say so.

- What a brilliant guess!

- Stop trying to cower people.

You rustics...

Who are you anyways?

What if I say

I'm Lee Joon-seop's niece?

What? You're scared

now that I'm his niece?

Stop this.

Let's put it an end here.

It's over.

Get out.

Let's go.

Let's go play somewhere else.

Let's go. Get up.

Sure. Let's go.

- How much?

- He took a whole stack?

You recorded it, right?

I wrote the serial number

but I'm not sure about

the amount of money in each envelope.

It's OK if you don't

know the amount

but you can't

miss anyone's name.

Uncle, how can they do this?

It's not your business.

It's all my debt.

That Simplification of Family

Ceremonies or that gibberish

got rid of all the formalities.

And it turned marriage

into a ten minute ceremony,

degraded funerals

into getting rid of the corpse

and turned ancestral rites

into a feast among living people.

You're going to pass out.

Your uncle and brother

are receiving the guests

so you take some rest.

To do it right,

you have to mourn for 3 years

but no one does that

these days.

Some stop mourning

after the Third Ceremony

- and a year is as much as it gets.

- Thanks for coming all the way.

We finished your book

so that we can publish it

before the funeral.

Thank you.

Mother, the guilt of not being

able to take care of you

in my place,

I described it all in this book.

This is the last one.

Let's stop it.

Are you trying to stop it

because you won?

This is the money I won, OK?

Do you think I'm a beggar?

Leave him.

Don't bother to stop them.

He needs some beating up.

He is well deserved it

even a hundred times.

The Third Watch

The Third Watch

Ceremony for Third Watch begins.

How can he sing

so drunk like that?

Third Watch ceremony begins!

Third Watch ceremony begins!

Don't be sad,

don't be sad.

She died old and rich.

The elder daughter-in-law

waited for the day

she passes down

the supreme charge of the house.

What if she wakes up again!

The elder goes pitapat.

Let's have fun,

let's have fun.

If not today,

we have no other days.

Having fun, having fun!

Yippee, whoopee, hurrah!

What an awesome day, hurrah!

No one will refuse.

Let's have some fun!

What are you putting on it?

She never ate those

when she was alive.

Do you think she will now?

How dare you even show up

so much drunk like this?

Get out.

Why? Is it because

I'm a bastard child?

Then how noble are you people?

Aren't you guys mistaken

because you're described well

in uncle's novel?

Yeah, right!

Maybe uncle's novels are

good PR for the family

but in reality no one here

is serving her sincerely.

So let me serve her

in my way!

This is too much.

I tried to hold it

until the funeral's over

but I can't take it anymore.

Are you the only one

who cares about grandmother?

Where were you when

she was most in need?

Good or bad, everyone here

kept her company while she was alive.

You always received from grandmother

but did nothing for her.

Is missing her and whining like this

taking care of grandmother?

Do you think we mean it

when we speak softly about grandmother?

Now grandmother mumbles like a baby

or sleeps day and night

crouching like a baby in a womb.

She hardly moves or speaks.

But I'm not ashamed

of her at all.

Grandmother is almost ready

to leave us and be reborn.

It was very sad

to farewell to grandmother.

I would rather want her

to be with us

than be reborn as a new baby.

She can't because of

the brimming love in her heart.

You know that people

gain wisdom as they age, right?

And when you are

filled with wisdom

it turns to love because

you want to share it with others.

All the good conducts

she did to others,

they're out of

that love in her heart.

According to my dad,

it's all out of love that

she shared her age, height, and wisdom

and that she is leaving us as a baby

and will be reborn as a new person.

Love in her heart

lead her to do those.

Are you up?

This is your mother's bus.

It's not just a bus.

It's a v20 ultra-luxury bus.

Where's the gas?

I need some energy.

This bus doesn't go on gas.

It goes by earnestness.

There's no one else

I can ask for a cigarette.

Sure, go ahead.

Have you heard

about the rain bird?

It's a bird

who doesn't have its own nest

so every time it rains,

he moves from this tree

to there and cries.

What a weird bird.

It's a bird from Mr. Lee's novel.

Every time the rain bird cries

she would say

What a fate

to have no nest as a bird.

And she's worried

about someone in the family

who left to earn money and

would probably having a hard time

in unfamiliar places.

So she would spread feeds

near the tree

so the rain birds

can rest there.

I'm sure your grandmother

had that affection

but I think it's too much

to expect from an Alzheimer.

A writer expresses his ideas

through the characters in his novel.

Of course, they don't always

live up to what they write

but then again

novels are a list of excuses.

This is Lee Joon-seop's

first children's story.

Do you want to read it?

Pay it first.

- I said I'll pay you.

- So hurry up and pay me.

OK, OK. I'll leave this watch.

It's probably only worth 5000 won.

This is it? No way.

Then since I have to bear

the pall right now...

- It's almost time. We have to go.

- I'll borrow money there...

Get money from the funeral?

How ruthless.

They are going to carry out

the coffin now. Let's go.

What, you're taking your money

and leaving like that?

Come here.

He has to be there

when they carry out the coffin.

Who the hell are you?

Get out of here.

Hurry up. We're late.

Hey! Sh*t!

Come in!

Be quiet.

What's that fuss!

- Let's start a new game.

- He's trying to pay with a 5000 won watch.

What? They looked like gentlemen.

They'd better stayed

at the funeral house

instead of buying a girl here.

Good job.

Look at those bastards!

You guys drink all you want

and be late for pall bearing?

Crazy bastards. Are you going to

do this when your parents die?

Good job, good job.

Ceremony before carrying out a coffin

This is your last meal.

Have plenty of them.

Here's your favorite fern, bellflower

and fish so have a plentiful of them.

The Buddhist Goddess of Mercy

Moving a coffin

When will we ever Moving

a coffin 1258 see you again?

Will you come back

when the cock cries

cock-a-doodle-doo

from the roof?

In the pot...

Last farewell

on the way to a burial place

Have a lot of food.

Help yourselves.

Here are some drinks.

The Buddhist Goddess of Mercy.

The Buddhist Goddess of Mercy.

The Buddhist Goddess of Mercy.

The Buddhist Goddess of Mercy.
