Oasis Page #5

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?

Honey, they're asking

if we've had any guarantees

No

No guarantees

What's wrong, dear?

There's nothing to be scared of now

Everything's alright now

What are you staring at, bastard?

Why are you hitting him like that?

I didn't, I just shoved him

I saw you hit him just now!

What the f*** are you saying?

Who the f*** do you think you are,

talking to me like that?

Do something

Calm down... Calm down...

It's almost over...

Gong-Ju...

Hold on, just a little longer, okay?

Try to forget everything and sleep

You'll feel better

after a good night's sleep

We'll stay here tonight

So there's nothing to be afraid of

Hands behind your back

You wretched boy!

Remember our pastor, right?

He wants to see you

He wants to pray for you,

so that's why I brought him

Jong-Du, the best thing

at a time like this is prayer

Let's all be seated

Sit down

Excuse me, but could you take off

his handcuffs while we pray?

Let us pray

Dear Father almighty...

Please forgive this poor lost sheep

as he struggles to find salvation

Help him to find his way back,

resisting all temptation

Hey, catch him!

Pastor!

Dear Father almighty!

Dear Father almighty!

Please forgive this poor lost sheep

Shut up, you f***ing b*tch!

I'll kill you!

Where's your phone?

Give me your phone, now!

Stay still or I'll kill you

Hello? Is that Han Gong-Ju's

apartment?

May I speak to Gong-Ju?

Me?

My name is Hong Jong-Du

Sorry, but let me speak to Gong-Ju

F***!

Piss off, b*tch!

Careful, it's hot

Thanks

What's going on?

Come down from there!

You f***ing bastard!

Hong Jong-Du, come down!

What the hell do you think

you're doing up there?

Get down, you f***er!

Hey, watch out!

That guy is completely crazy!

Be quiet out there!

What're you doing?

Pardon?

What are you doing there?

Cutting off the branches

You're waking up

the whole neighborhood

What's going on?

That guy isn't normal

What are you doing up there?

Climb down!

There's only one branch left!

You're doing great!

Saw that off and come down, okay?

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Is he hurt?

Cuff him, quick!

Take him away!

What the hell is it now?

Can't you keep the noise down?

What are you all doing out there

at this time of night?

There are young people

trying to study!

This has gone on long enough!

Your Highness, this is your general

I hope you're doing well,

staying healthy and everything

I'm doing alright here,

taking care of myself

Getting used to the

"bean meals" here again...

But, dont't worry,

they dont't actually serve beans

But when the odd bean gets mixed in,

I always think of you

Now I dont't like beans, either

I'm dreaming of the day I can

eat tofu when I get out of here

You must be so bored,

all alone in your apartment

I play soccer and table tennis

and other things to keep fit

So dont't worry about me

When I get out,

I'll buy you lots of delicious food

Make a list of all the things

you want to eat

Until I write you again,

take care of your precious person

Goodbye for now

Moon So-Ri as Gong-Ju
