Oasis Page #2

Synopsis: Jong-du, a young man just out of prison for manslaughter, is a social misfit: fidgety, snuffling, laughing inappropriately, without a super ego. When released, he calls on the family of the victim; they send him away, but not before he has seen Gong-ju, a young woman disabled severely by cerebral palsy. Both are abused by their families, and both are used by them as well. Although their relationship begins with Jong-du's criminal behavior, a friendship develops. They talk of favorite things; he washes her hair; they go out; in late night phone calls, he helps her past her fears of the dark. Is there a place in the world for these two inarticulate people?

Good luck on your move!

Must be going to a nice place

You're off now?

You're still here?

Didn't I tell you to go?

Yeah, I should go

But your sister...

Aren't you taking her with you?

She'll live here alone?

I mean, being disabled and all...

What business is that of yours?

I was just asking...

I was worrying...

Why should you worry?

What the hell do you know about it?

Clear off!

Okay, I'm leaving

Let's go

I'm here to pick up the dishes

The bill's paid, right?

Yes, sir

Why are you singing my song?

I'm sorry...

It's bad luck to have

someone sing after me

Pick up the dishes and go!

We're almost closed,

so I'm in no hurry

I'm getting lousy cards tonight

I guess it's not your lucky day!

"HONG KONG RESTAURANT"

Get out of the shot!

Mister, what's going on here?

Get out of the shot!

What a nice car!

Hey, you're not really driving!

I could do that, too

What movie is it?

Who's in it?

Speak up a bit

I told you to get out

of the shot, man!

Get the boom mike closer

You think you're still a teenager?

A member of a bike gang?

You took the food delivery

motorcycle for a midnight spin?

Let him be

Could you go outside to smoke?

I'm sorry to tell you this

But, I really don't like you

I know this sounds harsh...

But with you out of the way

I felt good about life

Without you, we had no worries

It's not only me, but your brother

and your Ma feel the same way

I didn't want to tell you,

but I suppose it had to come out

Can I help you?

Pardon?

What do you want?

I'm here to deliver flowers

Flowers?

Someone's sending flowers

to Gong-Ju?

Wait a moment

Who sent them?

I'm not allowed to tell just anyone

I'll take them

Give me the flowers

She's asking who sent them

Hong Jong-Du

They're from someone

called Hong Jong-Du

Alright, you can go now

Anyone in?

Hi!

Do you like the flowers?

Don't be scared,

I'm not here to hurt you

Why am I here?

Don't you want to know?

Should I tell you or not?

I'm here because you interest me

I want to get to know you better

I'm not lying

Looking like that at least,

you're not bad for a girl

You're pretty

I thought so the first time

I saw you

Don't be scared!

Can't you trust me?

I'll give you my phone number

This is the number at my

brother's shop

That's where I sleep

So you can call me there anytime

You have pretty feet, you know

The prettiest I've ever seen

To be honest, I've never seen

another woman's feet before

You don't wear socks?

Me neither, I get all sweaty

What's wrong?

It's alright...

Be a good girl...

Oh boy, they're beautiful...

Come on, don't struggle

Come on, just stay still,

for a second, okay?

Just for a second

Be a good girl, there you go...

Stay still, b*tch!

Please...

Please don't struggle, okay?

Hey!

Oh sh*t, this is trouble!

Oh sh*t

F***!

F***ing a**hole...

What...?

What?

What?

Rock, scissors, paper!

Scissors! I win!

Rock, scissors, paper!

Paper! I win!

Why aren't you at work?

Is something wrong?

You weren't in another accident,

were you?

Why are the kids at home?

They're on break

I thought Ma was going out

Where can she go?

She's always complaining

that her legs hurt...

Hey, why are you like this?

Come on, come on

I have to get back

Your mother's waiting for me...

She'll suspect!

Where are you going?

Your breath smells!

What did you have for lunch?

You had dog soup, didn't you?

Is that why you're so fired up?

What's wrong?

She's watching

It doesn't matter

The floor is cold!

Oh my god, who's that?

I knew we shouldn't do this!

Who is it?

It's me

Who?

Me, Sang-Shik!

Oh! Just a moment!

How are you?

You're both here?

I was making Gong-Ju's lunch

and he was lending a hand too

We worry about her...

I'm much indebted

Not at all!

Gong-Ju, your brother's here!

Gong-Ju, are you ready?

Coming!

Good afternoon

We're from the district office and we're

conducting a survey of tenants

Yes, I heard about it...

Do come in

Sorry to be a bother

The tenancy is in

the name of Han Gong-Ju

Yes, she's my sister-in-law

Is she here?

She's in there

She loves listening to music

How do you do?

She tends to get shy and clam up

in front of strangers

Gong-Ju, do you want a drink?

Oh, I haven't offered you anything

Can I get you a drink?

Never mind, we should be going

This building is for disabled tenants

But, we've heard people moved

in using other names

So we have to check in person

Of course, it's only right

Sorry to trouble you

Thank you for your good work

What have you been eating?

You weigh a ton!

Darn light still doesn't work!

Your sister-in-law is waiting in the car,

I should go now

Give me a call if anything's wrong

Call me if the neighbors don't feed

you properly or anything else

After all, we're paying them

200,000 won a month

200,000 won is not a small

amount, you know

Alright, you go now

I'll stop by when I can

Hello?

Pardon?

Pardon?

What are you saying?

What the hell?

I'm calling... to...

...ask you something

Relax

Only if you say you'll forgive me

You said you wanted to

ask me something

What was it?

Why...

"Why..."

Why... did you...

"Why did you?"

Why did you bring me flowers?

Why did I bring you flowers?

I don't really know

Is your name really Gong-Ju?

Yes

Why?

Well, because Gong-Ju

means "princess"...

I'm descended from a general

Ever heard of General Hong

Kyung-Rae?

I'm his 18th generation descendant!

Hong Kyung-Rae... wasn't... a general

Pardon?

Hong Kyung-Rae... was a... traitor...

not a general...

Hong Kyung-Rae was a traitor,

not a general?

Was he?

From now on...

...I'm going to call you

Your Highness

Your Highness, the princess!

Then I will call you... General

General?

Your Highness!

Yes, General!

General, what do you do?

Me?

What do you do?

I fix cars

I work with my brother

at his small auto shop

I envy you.

What's there to envy?

I envy... people with jobs

Are you stuffy in here?

You want to go out for a while?

Ma!

Jong-Du

How do you do?

How do you do

The pastor came to see us,

and he was just leaving

I've heard a lot about you

- You've been through a lot

- Thanks for your concern

He sang in the choir

when he was little

Is that so?

Excuse me, I want to ask a favor

Could you pray for me now?

Come on now, Jong-Du...

Right now?

Yes, sir

Why not? Let's pray together

Gather around

You too, Ma'am

Let's all pray together, holding hands

Our Father in heaven, please

watch over a poor soul...

...who waits upon

Your salvation

Please forgive his sins

We beseech You to bestow

Your blessings upon him

And to protect his soul from evil

This young soul seeks to be reborn

in Your everlasting love

Brother!

Brother, teach me how to work here

You want to learn how to fix cars?

Here? From me?

Yes, I want to learn!

I know I can do it

I promise to work hard

What's behind this?

What are you up to?

That's not what I showed you!

That way, it won't turn

F***, this is hard!

Hey, how do you work this thing?
