The lady who came out of the coffin

became my grandmother.

Happy Funeral Director

But nobody likes a funeral director.

Written and Directed by CHANG Mun II

Flowers

Reception

Do you have a room?

How much is it?

Take 5,000 Won off.

Then get me an extra drink at least.

Who is it!

Palace Motel

Look, don't mess around

and come back quick.

What are you, my man?

And what's with those sunglasses

in the middle of the night! Dork.

Did you order coffee?

No? He said two cups to room 201.

Was it 202?

Help...

How does coffee taste

after almost dying? Great?

You know that funeral parlor

across the street?

Nakcheon Funeral Home?

Do you know if they're hiring?

I don't know. Oh, right.

The old man ran into a telephone pole

on his bike.

They might be hiring.

So tell me. Your blood type is O, right?

90% of people

with O blood type hang themselves.

No, I'm type A.

No, type A takes sleeping pills.

You must be different.

Who are you?

What's going on? What are you doing?

You said room 202. Get out now.

You want to own a video arcade?

Sell our land?

- You're too sick to work.

- There's Daesik.

He can work.

- You need at least two people.

- That's why I told you to come.

You want me to be an undertaker?

I faint at the sight of a corpse.

Oh, when?

When his father died.

That's because it was his father.

Grandfather thinks you have to be

an undertaker to be a real man.

But I am a man!

What do you think I am, a rabbit?

A goldfish? Yeah, I'm a rabbit.

I'm going to kill you, you little brat.

You listen to me before I really kill you.

But I do listen to you.

At least show an effort.

You can run away when he pays off

some of your debts.

Don't even mention the video arcade again.

I'll rip your mouth open.

Aunt, I can't do it no matter what.

Hello.

Nobody wants to do it, unless he's crazy.

I'm not here because of a death.

I want to learn funeral work.

You want to learn undertaking?

This one doesn't want to learn, but...

There's all sorts.

The work is hard.

I've done just about everthing.

You can do anything if you think of dying.

But people don't die often around here.

There hasn't been a single death

for a year.

What?

With the new hospital, we don't have work.

There has to be a death for you

to learn something.

Well, now that I'm here,

people will start dying.

I think I cause deaths.

When I go up on a roof to work,

someone falls off.

If I work in a tunnel, it collapses.

And that's not all.

Hey! Hey! What are you doing?

I sleep naked.

There's all sorts. All sorts...

I heard you talking earlier,

you have debts?

Hey, put your dick away!

Oh, how comfortable.

Did you make this?

Try it. How are we supposed to eat this?

- It tastes good.

- Why are you eating here?

My dad told me to.

Did he send you to learn to work

or to save food costs?

You eat too much. Your dad is so stupid.

If his son is too stupid to work

he should make him study.

Why did he send him to learn

about undertaking?

Undertaking is no joke.

Why are you talking bad about my father

when I'm eating?

What!

You don't like me

talking about your father?

You're making me lose my appetite.

Sir.

I heard that undertakers

value traditional etiquette.

Does that refer to ancient

Chinese etiquette?

Let's eat.

Excessive luxury is not proper etiquette.

How much do burial clothes cost?

There's no fixed price.

It's between 300,000 and 3 million.

- What about a coffin?

- That's not set either.

Then how much does a funeral cost?

You've got so much to say.

You talk too much.

What an ass.

Watch your language! You rude little brat.

Get me some beer.

We don't have any.

Did I drink it all?

- I drank it all.

- Son-of-a...

Gold Groceries

Why are you laughing?

You look like birds on a wire.

Nobody died today?

Hey, still no news from your mom?

I heard she ran away cause

she didn't like you.

Hello.

Who says hello sitting down?

Hello.

How come you don't say hello?

I didn't see you.

How are you?

You little brat.

I bet you want me to die soon!

- That's not it.

- Sure it is.

You guys are ruining

the village atmosphere.

Always looking around to see

if someone will die.

You nasty little brats! Yoni, let's go.

We're not like that.

Live a healthy long life.

Oh, sure.

You just want to see my naked body

after I die, right?

- Oh, come on.

- You dirty rat.

Hey, hey, slow down.

Ms. Hwang, have some coffee.

Are you buying?

Ms. Yang! Three cups of coffee.

Aunt, all you have to do

is to give a shot for a change.

Just tell him once more.

That we should go to Seoul

and buy a video arcade.

I already told the realtor

to sell our funeral home.

People die. Ms. Hwang,

you don't think you'll die?

You'll be my customer, too.

Ms. Yang will die, too.

She's a future customer, too.

You know.

I always bring a shadow of death.

Some people die even

if I just look at them.

No way. So why am I still alive?

Yeah.

She's so skinny, but she's got these.

He's dead!

Oh, no. Someone call an ambulance.

Is he alive?

Oh, good, he's alive.

Go to the hospital.

Thank you, everyone, for worrying.

Don't let our hands go.

You'll hurt yourself.

How much is this?

300 Won or 400 Won.

Ha, this delicious ice cream

is only 300 Won?

I'll have to eat it everyday.

Wow, who's that?

Sohwa, can't you tell?

You jerk. I knew it.

Sohwa?

She came back after her husband died.

She got married too early.

She has a flower shop here.

You hated her so much

when she followed you around.

She's quite pretty now.

She has a nice butt, too.

- Did you pay for that?

- Of course.

How much did you pay?

- 300 Won.

- 300 Won?

I ask you to watch the store

and you can't even do that right.

Don't you have anything better to do

than undertaking.

- A funeral parlor's good.

- Yeah, right, sure.

Go away, you brats.

My only son has to be just like his father.

What a life.

Is grandfather up?

You guys didn't order for me?

Have mine.

You think I'll pay off your debts for you?

Did I ask you to?

We have to take some work

from the hospital.

Undertaking is related to deaths.

Right, grandfather?

- This is a funeral parlor.

- Gee, I asked for extra onions.

But I've never seen Land like this.

It's a good grave site

and it's also good for business.

What are you doing?

You put your store up for sale.

Did you quit your job?

You fool! What did you just say?

Your grandson said so.

You're always teasing me.

Can't you do your job right?

Nobody's selling the store.

Jaehyon, that little...

Oh, we need all those guns

to kill some people.

Our country needs to make guns legal.

People will become undertakers,

not lawyers and judges, right?

I wish a young lade died.

So I can touch her.

Do you strip women naked,
