Forbidden Quest Page #3

Synopsis: 1941: in Ireland, a film maker hears of an aged ship's carpenter who knows the fate of the Hollandia, a Norse ship that set sail in 1905 and vanished. The old salt has canisters of film to prove his tale. We see the footage as he narrates. They sail south in June, 1905, with scores of Siberian huskies aboard, meeting no living soul, the crew ignorant of the trip's purpose, until they reach Antarctica. A mysterious Italian paces the deck; a polar bear appears, and the Italian, possessed, hunts it down. That night, the boatswain explains to the crew how an Arctic bear could be at the South Pole and why the Hollandia has come. Visitors arrive, and the Gothic tale plays out.

This man, In Bong.

I'd like to meet him.

Every book of his causes a sensation.

Your books are no less of quality.

It's Just that...

Just what? Tell me.

Do I lack that 'true flavour'?

No, not at all.

It's Just that...

There's an air of pretentiousness.

No, I mean...

Air of pretentiousness?

Yours is the second

best selling book,

so what's the problem?

You have such ambitions.

Second to 'Maiden Ok Ryung'...

Why isn't this working?

Your Joke is going too far.

Where would I get a book like that?

Who is trying to incriminate me?

I'm not saying you read it.

What?

Then why are you here?

In truth,

I'm writing this kind of novel.

So what?

But I need some illustrations,

and wanted to ask you to paint them.

So you want me to illustrate

your scandalous books?

Me?

Yes.

You've got some nerve!

How dare you ask this of me?

What about that painting?

I wanted to ask the person

who painted this

to illustrate my book.

Even if it's indecent,

my fans are eagerly awaiting

for the next chapter.

The life and breath in this painting.

The lust behind the twitching muscles.

I need the person who created this.

I know I may be acting rash.

But I need you.

I really want your pictures.

I'm going to act like this

never happened.

This is the first time

I'm disobeying the national law

by not throwing you into Jail.

Go back home quietly.

Please do this favour for me.

Are you dying

to be locked up in here?

I bring you over

to a wonderful place like this,

so why such a long face?

As members of the court,

we shouldn't be socializing like this.

Shouldn't be socializing?

If it's so wrong, why are you here?

You girls go outside.

What's this?

If I was you,

I wouldn't touch that and Just leave.

It's not too late.

Just walk way.

I apologize for the commotion.

I only wanted to thank you

for your efforts.

You saw me alarmed

by a trifle animal.

You risked embarrassment to save me,

I can never thank you enough.

I send this small token to you,

and hope you'll accept it

as a sign of my gratitude.

She sewed it personally.

Don't accept it.

If you do, she'll ask to meet.

If there's something the Queen wants,

she will do whatever to have it.

Where is your courage?

I refused to believe people

who called you a coward.

Where is the man who struck the bee

without a second thought?

Your words don't matter.

I'm leaving.

Do you know how difficult it was

to leave the palace?

What business do you have here?

Father, I will take it from here.

Please don't worry and go inside.

With a court lady?

I don't believe this.

Please speak.

It's indecent,

not to mention blasphemous.

And it makes no sense.

Oh my.

- That's the physiology of these books.

- Well!

So are you going to do it or not?

I want to do it.

I'd like to start

Chapter Three like this.

Queen Yoon is overcome with desire

and sneaks out of the palace.

She has an encounter

in the midst of the crowds

during the lotus festival.

That's ridiculous!

What do you mean?

How can a woman of her stature?

Even fiction should

have some plausibility.

Reality is unrealistic.

It's like a dream.

Like something seen in a dream.

Like something tasted in a dream.

That is what this book is all about.

You could call it

the 'true flavour' of life.

True flavour'.

And one more thing,

I'm the writer here.

And you're the illustrator.

Please recognize the difference.

I understand.

Anyways,

the two lovers circle a pagoda,

and the man pulls the queen

into the storage.

If you don't stop, I'll scream!

I know you don't have it

in you to scream.

Why are you doing this?

What? He touches right away?

Of course.

Wouldn't he be stupid not to?

But there would be

a couple upstairs already.

Hey.

It doesn't matter.

Can it be this wild?

Stop it!

He took off his noble hat?

Why are you yelling?

You're saying he took off his hat,

and explores there with his mouth?

And I plan to describe in detail

the shape and state of the genitals

in this edition.

Gen...

Such indecent words.

Genitals.

Why are you sitting like that?

Do you have an erection?

What are you talking about?

So can you draw it?

Draw what?

A guy standing her back to a tree,

with his mouth exploring down there?

Let's draw them lying on the ground,

with him exploring in earnest.

You could draw his behind

at a slightly lowered angle.

How are you going to make

sixty copies with such a slow hand?

You're right.

You're not making art.

Take it easy.

If you don't like my work,

I can leave.

No, no, no.

Keep going.

I'm strangely tired.

I only do it

because I like the paintings.

Okay, okay.

I'll take better care of you.

Wow, what a great idea

to illustrate the writing.

I'm shocked.

One must be a cut above the rest.

Allow me the liberty of saying.

Go ahead. It's between us.

You are my treasure and fortune.

You're too much.

Anyways.

In your next book,

what's your vision for that scene...

What pose will you depict?

That's a marvellous talent of yours.

Just your typical

man and woman position.

Nothing special.

I knew it. I knew it.

Nobles are too boring.

That's why I asked to make sure.

Come over here.

Me?

I'm transcribing right now.

I said come here.

Don't nobles

usually take this position?

Like this until it comes out, right?

They Just keep doing this, yes?

What fun is that?

Only a cricket would like it.

I'll show you what women like.

Lift this.

Relax, stop tensing up.

Like this?

Now, if you do it like this,

what happens?

It goes really deep, no?

She'll go crazy, saying it's deep,

it hurts, and it feels good.

This much.

This is the least you can do.

I've been thinking

of one or two things.

Two things?

Don't think too indecent of me.

A noble takes off his hat?

Please hold this.

Please stand up for me.

Me again?

- Come, get up.

- Oh, why me?

Turn around like this.

Prop up the woman like this.

The man goes behind her,

and lifts the leg like this.

Darn, it's stiff.

Like this from the behind.

Doing it like this.

Oh my, it does look a bit sadist.

Saddest? Why sad?

This position is good when the ground

is lumpy and there's little time.

So that's one.

Now lie down.

This time, move up, up farther.

Lay the woman like this,

and the man lies next to her

with a leg up like this.

Hey, can you make that sound again?

Like this, okay?

Doing it like this.

The distinction here is that each

can do his or her own business.

Scholars like us

have a lot of reading to do.

Look here, give me that book.

Book.

So while making love

you can also read.

That's a great position for me!

I can write while doing it.

Yes, you're right.

You don't have any time

to rest anyway.

Is there any more?

Well, yes.

But he's too old for it.

What position is it now?

Tell me.

Then let's go into the bedchambers.

No, Just tell me.

I was able to draw the other two.

I said let's go to the bedchamber.

I said no.

Why, are you frightened?
