Forbidden Quest Page #4

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.

Oh, please.

Then listen carefully.

So,

the woman lies with her gaze

towards the skies.

She raises her legs over her head.

Completely!

What's wrong?

Do you not understand?

No.

Just that it is so indecent.

How will you visualize my writing

if you're already like this?

No, I'm all right. Keep going.

At any rate,

she raises her legs so high,

her feet touches the ground.

Are the knees touching each other?

Or are they parted?

That's up to you.

It doesn't matter.

- Knees together.

- Now, it's the man's turn.

His legs are about two feet apart.

He places her in between and enters.

No, wait now.

He'll be looking in the opposite

direction than the woman.

I dont understand.

He stands with his back to her?

Yes.

And then he assumes the 'bend forward'

position, bending the knees.

You can call this

the 'horseback' position.

Why would one stand like that?

The purpose is always the same, no?

He raises her buttocks,

and enters her.

That's impossible!

Look, Inspector Kim!

Authors should

have some responsibility!

A reader may try to imitate

what's described in this book.

What will you do if the penis slips,

and he gets injured?

I will warn people

against imitating things in the book.

You satisfied?

It's anatomically impossible,

and even if it were,

it would be a true miracle.

So, have you tried

this position yourself?

How can you think that would be

allowed in our household?

From the look on your face,

you lack confidence.

Is it because you haven't finished

the illustrations?

This will cause a significant delay

in our schedule.

I know that.

It will be very complicated

and difficult.

The merchants will become nasty.

Wait a minute.

Is it because

you couldn't understand me?

This woman's face.

Isn't this your wife?

Yes, it is.

I know very well

that her face isn't suitable.

Why are you so angry?

I was just asking.

Do you know how much she suffered

for this picture?

Conjuring up an impossible position.

It's driving me crazy, too!

As you know from my work,

I have to see it with my own eyes.

What a lack of imagination.

So if you see it with your own eyes,

can you draw it?

You mean, it can be re-enacted?

Of course not.

I was just supposing.

You're overreacting.

When the weather is like this,

her Highness gets a craving for this.

She loved the way I made them

since the she lived at home.

Why does she need to see me?

Ever since she returned

from the temple,

she's been in a bad mood.

She wants to see you again.

I trust nothing will happen again.

You're a man and it's natural

for her to want to see you.

But...

you can hold out, right?

Where's the meeting place?

Follow what's been ordered from here.

Follow an order from there,

then everything will be ruined.

She said for you

to decide the place.

So I can choose the location?

How could you do that?

Do what?

Just leave me there alone.

What was I to do?

I know you are a man of honour.

But...

I am not who you think I am.

I'm filled with these dirty thoughts

that squirms inside of me.

That's the person I am.

Dirty thoughts?

What kind of dirty thoughts?

Tell me how dirty they are.

How could I possibly tell you?

Go on.

Look here.

Why do you keep looking at me

and then that mutt over there?

What are you talking about?

I didn't mean to.

Why get on my case?

Oh yeah, about me doubting

the possibility of that position.

I'm sorry about that.

Please show me the rough sketch.

What time do I have

for a rough sketch?

It's all in my head.

From the time our country was born,

we are probably

the most lecherous fellows.

Don't you agree?

There will be none like us

even after we are gone.

Who knows what the future holds.

Please stop looking at that dog!

Take a deep breath.

Do you remember

this sweet fragrance?

What do you mean, your Highness?

When I was back living at home,

you snuck me out

during the Dano Festival.

It reminds me of the fragrance then.

You still remember, your Highness?

Of course I do.

It was a wonderful day.

It's so strange.

That I never came

across this fragrance before.

Can I

ask you

a personal question?

Personal?

Look closely.

Which one of these is the best,

I mean...

Which one shows a woman

in complete ecstasy?

Here, look.

And this one.

Are you acting like a lunatic?

That one was a bit pretentious, no?

How about this one?

She looks like she's in pain, huh?

A bit different, no?

Tell me, which one do you like best?

Why are you doing this?

I asked what's the best one?

This is important to me.

The last one.

The last one?

What's going on?

It's just crazy.

Over a hundred maidservants

barged in.

For what?

Demanding 'Tale of Dark Valley.'

B*tches...

You mean, our book?

They read it again and again.

And never return it.

They've become complete addicts

after reading that book.

Oh, goodness.

And who is this?

Right, this is the artist!

But why the disguise?

No matter how difficult

your predicament is,

you should still have a drink.

Since you're our key contributor.

I'm sorry to decline.

The expression of pure ecstasy.

It was the best.

A mixture of pain and pleasure

to the brink of death.

You think so?

I wasn't too convinced.

So then,

you're saying

there's something better?

Well, it should look

like a woman's about to sneeze.

Sneeze?

Yes, like this.

That's ridiculous!

You mean, women...

Make that kind of face?

What money are you talking about?

What? 'Maiden Ok Ryung'?

What's wrong with you?

I mean 'Tale of the Dark Valley'!

Hey!

So you want it all for yourself?

What about you?

Last time, you...

That's right,

you took all of 'Boudoir Tales'.

Hwang, that was then.

I promise to make it up to you.

Come on, give me a break.

Hey!

A huge hit doesn't come often.

Share the wealth, okay?

Forget it.

Wait.

So you really wrote

'Tale of the Dark Valley'?

I loved that book!

You were one of my readers?

- I am, too.

- Hold on.

This gentleman

made 'Tale of the Dark Valley'.

He may as well have written it.

Treat him well.

Of course.

You double booked like the last time

when that eunuch came, huh?

Not today, okay?

Hey, give me another girl, will you?

Your Highness, you wanted to hear

about current events.

What would you like to know?

Well, about what's going on

in the world.

Any subject in particular?

We just wanted to know if you have

a special area of interest.

Do you get to hear

a lot of rumours and gossip?

For instance?

Well, you see.

How about something scandalous?

Scandalous?

Yes, that female is surely strange.

There's only one male,

but she couldn't stand him

and killed him.

Do you know what decapitation is?

My Lady? Decapitation?

You mean, to cut the head

and limbs of the body?

Is that what you mean, my Lady?

Yes

Yes, I do know about it.

Don't they tie the body to horses?

It's not that merciful and quick.

This punishment is done

with a rusty and dull blade.

A dull blade is used

to slowly and painfully
