Miracle on 1st Street Page #4

Synopsis: 1st Street is a curious neighborhood untouched by the aids of modern living like proper plumbing and Internet. Pilje cruises into 1st Street with the intention to drive out its inhabitants and make way for a huge redevelopment project. As soon as he gets there, his plans start to unravel. He meets Myeongnan, a female boxer with the dream of becoming an East Asian boxing champion, and a host of colorful characters who turn his life upside down. Myeongnan works hard to attain her dream, training constantly and doing most of her talking with her fists. Myeongnan and Pilje clash, and he often finds himself on the receiving end of her ferocious punches. Instead of shunning the outsider, Myeongnan and the rest of the villagers warm to him. He is even thought of as Superman by the children of 1st Street after he enables the village's water supply and performs roof repairs. Pilje is drawn to these colorful misfits and begins to rethink his plans to destroy the zany town that they love.

Why did you box?

I'm a dumb guy,

I had nothing else to show people!

And I'm a dumb daughter,

I have nothing else to show my dad.

I can win! I can be a champion!

What difference does being

a champion make?

Think that's

what your father would want?

He's like that because of me!

Snap out of it!

Can you see these? Yes or no?

Can't you do this?

Shall we give up?

I'm okay. I'm still standing.

Fighting! Fighting!

Give up!

Automatic vending machine

Hello?

It's me. Where are you?

Where do you think?

At home...

I need to see you.

- Sorry?

- I'm waiting outside your apartment.

Where?

This'll drive me crazy.

Why are you doing this to me?

Where are you going in this rain?

- Nowhere!

- Where are you going, b*tch?

For a piss!

You go more than

How come we have

no good umbrellas?

You always shoot off at night!

Why have you come?

Are you on your way home?

I've been jogging.

What can I do for you?

I have to raise

my coffee prices tomorrow.

- What?

- I just can't make a profit.

So...?

So there.

Is that all?

Yes.

Thank you for coming out.

Well, I'll be off then.

Hey!

You went jogging in these shoes?

~I don't know why it is...

~But the whole world

looks beautiful...

Goddammit!

Sorry, I won!

Please help us!

What's up?

What am I doing?

This is driving me insane.

It's leaking there too!

God! You drive me mad.

Hey! Is it still leaking on

that side?

Yes.

Tell me exactly where the leak is,

you brat! Damn!

There... here...

There... there... and here!

Shut up you brat!

Goddam useless kid!

I wish money poured down

from the sky like this.

Washed it?

Why does a girl like you box?

To become Asian champion.

To be world champion

means something.

Asian champion is

just embarrassing.

So why are you into demolition?

Fancy a drink?

Still, you're a woman.

Boxing? Damn...

Can you make some money

being Asian champion?

You could earn more as a laborer.

You got to be crazy

to beat each other up

Till you end up shitting blood.

It's insane.

But you know, you feel good

after taking a beating.

Getting hit turns you on?

What kind of pervert are you?

Doesn't it hurt?

Hurts, doesn't it?

You're the craziest b*tch ever!

But...

A lot of things in life...

...hurt much more.

Do you know what they are?

No. What are they?

Absolutely crazy! Damn...

Ride it!

FYl, there are 21 gears.

Wow, that feels good.

Have you always lived here?

No.

- So where are you from?

- Geochang.

Why did you come to Seoul?

To live with Grandpa.

Where are your parents, then?

We have no dad.

And Mom ran away.

Mom didn't run away!

Grandpa said she went

away to work.

That's running away.

No it isn't!

What do you know?

She did run away, you moron!

No! You're the moron!

Are you arguing with me, moron?

You want to hit me?

Try it! Hit me!

- You want to die?

- Just try and kill me! Try it!

Can't you shut the hell up?

Why are you brats fighting?

And you, you b*tch.

Shut about their mom running away!

Shut up, b*tch!

You people stress me out!

Why do you keep doing

this crazy stuff up here?

Stand straight

and don't be afraid!

Hold on here!

Okay!

You need to know

how to use the wind.

Entrust yourself to the wind!

And trust me!

Understand?

If you fly this time, no more running

around up here!

Okay? Promise!

Right! Don't be scared,

this is safe! Okay! Go!

One, two, three...

Oh, my!

Are your legs okay?

Deokgu!

What the...?

Are you all right?

Who did this to you?

Damn...

I'm going to kill you!

He flies around...

you've seen it, right?

Black coffee 50cent, Coffee 50cent

Ildong? Are tomatoes

fruits or vegetables?

Fruit.

Not vegetables?

Are you nuts?

You buy them from a fruit shop.

The vegetable shop sells them too.

Still, they're fruits.

Can you prove it?

Girl, are you a detective?

What do you mean prove it?

Just asking.

What?

You want to eat it?

No.

It's all right to pick up

things off the street!

Still, we mustn't. Let's go.

Put that down, girl!

Dirty little bastard!

What did you just take?

Nothing...

What's this then? Nothing?

Already a thief, at your age?

Rude bastard.

To the police station!

I didn't steal it!

It had fallen on the ground!

Aren't you from the slum?

Rude little bastard!

Come with me!

I didn't steal it! Honestly!

Shut up!

In any case,

it's you that keep stealing things!

Good-for-nothing brats!

What the...? You little...

What are you doing?

He's done nothing wrong!

Cocky youngster!

Come with me, brat!

Isun! Isun!

Kids like you need a proper beating

till you learn anything!

You son of a b*tch!

Ildong!

Who the hell are you?

What are you doing?

Did you steal something?

Son of a b*tch! Better ask the police

to get you compensation for this:

Wife-and child-beaters like you are

The lowest of the low,

motherf***er!

I'll break your wrists!

What were you trying to eat?

Say something, brats!

To... tomato.

Tomato?

Take as many as you want.

Take them, quickly!

You think one's enough?

Take more!

Take a load, you brats!

So you could eat till you burst!

You take one too.

Give me a discount since

I'm buying two boxes.

What the hell's going on?

Who told you to spar?

Get down!

Are you confident?

I'm confident I can take the blows.

That won't win a fight.

You need to hit your opponent.

If I can take the blows,

I'll get some punches in.

So you're resilient?

You say that, but just wait

until you're in a real fight.

- Myeongnan.

- Yes.

You know I've looked after

Your father since

before he was born?

He must have been

in middle school.

He came to me with two black eyes,

and asked me to teach him boxing.

But you don't learn boxing

just to fight with people!

He ran around after me

for two months.

I told him I'd teach him a lesson,

told him to put the gloves on.

Said I'd teach him to box

If he lasted three rounds

against me.

I wanted to put the kid

in his place.

I let loose with my fists.

He kept going for 1 8 rounds!

The die-hard bastard!

I asked him why he was

so hell-bent on learning to box.

He told me he'd taken a beating

in front of a girl

Who he had a crush on,

from a guy that did boxing.

He was so naive!

That girl that he loved in secret

was your mother.

You've got ten days left.

Work hard.

Ildong - we've got enough here

to make ketchup with some to spare!

Let's eat just one.

We have to give them to grandpa.

No one will notice...

It's him!!

We'll have to go the other way.

- Why?

- Just follow me, girl!

Ildong!

Where are you going?

Oh no...

Did you hit my brother?

He kept calling me a beggar...

You are a beggar!

No I'm not.

Want to die today?

Really? Then stay standing.

Ildong!

Don't touch them.

You can hit me instead!

- lldong!

- Strike!

- lldong...

- Die, filthy beggars!

They tasted good.

It's okay.

We can get some more.

Ildong, I miss mum.

I told you, she abandoned us.

Why do you miss her?

She ran away just because

you're a bad boy!
