They have nothing but boring

sports heroes and stupid robots.

Mr. Director, remember comics

like "The Glass Castle"

or "Core" adapted by Kim Jong-rae,

or classics like "Wanting to

be there" and how good they were?

As for science fiction,

title like "Raipai"

"Iron man 28"

and the "Magic Wand"

just blow you away

with creativity and imagination.

- Yes.

- Right.

Then there's the "Boy Doctor"

and "Egghead Genius,"

Koh Woo-young is my

brother-in-law, by the way,

- I know.

- And as for "Taeng-yi"...

and the "Headache Boy," they really

bring out their characters.

Do-seok, my friend.

You said you wanted

to be an actor, right?

What?

Well, when I was a kid, but...

Who'd want an amateur like me?

If anyone had an eye for comics,

they would understand.

- Do-seok!

- Yes, sir.

I have finally met someone

who shares my sensitivities.

Well, you know... I...

You have the potential of

a great character actor.

I have just completed writing

a script I had been working on,

and I am on the verge of

starting the shoot.

But I was worried,

because I did not have a star,

but I think I just found one.

You're officially on standby

until my next call.

Thank you.

I'll do my best.

Thanks a million. I really am.

- How many did you read?

- Five.

You shouldn't do that, Mr. Lee.

I saw you read two more.

Man, they should really

smooch somewhere else.

Hey man, let's get out of here.

She must have run off

someplace else.

They should be thankful

that I danced for them.

No way am I dating them

for a few shots of scotch.

Thanks, mister.

Mister?

Can I buy you a cup of...

Now that I can see you,

you look so funny.

I think I saw you somewhere.

Are you a star?

Yes.

Maybe I saw you on TV.

We're you ever on TV?

No. I'm a... director.

Are you really

a movie director?

Which movie did you make?

Not yet.

I'm a new director.

Well, do I look like

actress material to you?

Hey, mister.

Can I stay at your place?

You're a liar and hypocrite.

You're probably a loach pretending to be nice.

I know you're going to take me

home and make me drink.

And when I pass out

from the alcohol,

you'll take me to bed

and take my clothes off.

I never forced you

to come to my place.

I think it was you who wanted to...

It's late.

You should go home.

How was it?

Was my acting OK?

I actually wanted to

be a singer,

but I'm changing it to

an actress starting now.

Well, it's really late...

it's two thirty already.

Well, you're really late today.

Where was apartment 902?

Right next to where you live.

So if you go around

that way and come back

that's where I live.

The first time a laid

my eyes on you

I... I...

Oh! Words are but truly empty!

How can I show you how I feel

with such few words?

Mister, can I use

your toothbrush?

I'm but your toothbrush...

a brush that will cleanse

your body forever and ever.

Oh, I shall deluge myself

in drinks tonight,

for without the power of the drink,

I cannot bare to look at you

for a moment.

I am not a mere boy

but why am I feeling this way?

My heart feels as if

it will stop beating...

Here you go.

Is this you?

What?

Does it look bad on me?

Not at all.

It's beautiful, in fact.

You watered it down too much.

I like my scotch strong and straight.

When I first looked upon you

I was utterly enthralled...

Why is it so hot this summer?

Where are you planning to

so for summer this year?

I was completely taken by...

Have you ever been to Hwajinpo?

I went there last year.

The beach is nice,

but there's no place to sleep.

Or have you went to Haeundae?

I never went there myself.

But I'm going this summer,

no matter what.

I heard there are

a lot of dance clubs,

and rich but stupid guys.

I wish I had $100000.

So many people win

lotteries but me.

I shall deluge myself

with drinks tonight.

Go ahead.

I'm not going to stop you.

Where do I get to sleep?

Oh, sleep...

Here's a pillow...

I get cranky when some wakes me

up too early,

so don't wake me up

even if you do.

Thank you for braving

the blazing heat of summer,

forsaking your family on

what was to be family night,

to enjoy the hospitality of

the Mammoth Club tonight.

We will now get our world-famous

variety show on the way,

full of laughter and music,

with beautiful women dancing to it.

The first on our stage tonight,

a very special singer.

Please welcome Rambo!

Hands up. Stick 'em up!

I said hands up!

I'm... I'm warning you.

If you so much as move or scream,

I'll shoot you dead right here.

This is my direct order.

And soldiers do not like

to repeat orders.

Turn on the lights.

Get the lights!

Get the lights!

Do you... have any cigarettes?

I'm terribly sorry.

I never really learned to smoke.

What the heck is it that you do?

Your forever lover boy who gets

bigger with your, love, love, love.

Your lark on a sunny day,

I'm your funnyman Lee Jong-sae.

Anyway, what are you doing here?

The club is closed today,

and I was rehearsing by myself.

Where's the bathroom, mister?

Police and army troops are

currently on the trail

of a deserter from an unknown

unit on the run near

a road junction

in the Cheonho-dong area.

The name and unit of that soldier

will be identified in our regular

broadcast as soon as more

information becomes available.

That's the end of

a breaking report.

Ungrateful runts like that should be

taken downtown for a public shooting.

I mean, we pay the taxed that pays

for their food, uniforms,

and training.

Who could ask for anything more,

free of charge?

Young runts nowadays

are basically bastards

who never speak up

properly to their elders,

and even wenches don't think

twice about smoking.

They start kissing the moment

they get inside my car.

I mean, what is

the world coming to?

Don't you think so, too?

Please, please don't shoot me.

Please, I didn't see anything.

I have a wife and four kids.

I swear I'll never tell on you.

Just don't kill me, please.

That's everything

I made for today.

Please, just let me live.

Don't move,

or I'll shoot!

We meet again,

Shanghai Park.

I have spent the last twenty years

in a cold prison cell,

chewing on cold, rotten

barley through hot and cold,

waiting for this day, honing

my blade of revenge for you.

I can understand why you

took away the woman I love.

Perhaps I can even forgive you

for selling my sister

into a brothel, maybe.

But the treacherous betrayal against

our friendship, I could not forgive.

Pull out your blade, Park.

Who's there?

Oh, it's you, Mr. Director.

You said you were going to call,

and I waited for so long.

Do I look like...

Jack Nicholson at all?

When it comes to character,

no one can top Nicholson.

Close the curtains.

I sold my shop, Mr. Director.

Someone came with an offer yesterday,

so I sold it at a bargain.

And I got my eyelids

operated on.

I have small eyes,

so I'm trying to make them bigger.

Well, I may be jumping

the gun on this,

but since I am
