Youngja!
Yes?
You know what
my dream was as a boy?
No, tell me.
To be a captain...
steering a big ship like that.
Really?
How come you never told me?
I never knew that.
Ah, what's the point...
I did tell you once.
Oh my!
You need to look after yourself
when you get old.
Eat the porridge I made you,
then don't forget your pills.
Why don't you stay home today?
Our kids are coming.
What's that?
Are they here?
Grandma!
Oh, it's my munchkins!
- Our munchkins are here!
- Going somewhere?
- Dad!
- We're here.
- Mom, what's wrong?
- Are you sick?
It's nothing, just a cold.
Dad, can't you look
after her better?
You should take her to a doctor!
These damned pills won't help.
I can't believe you!
Where are you going this time?
A guy Kim knows
invited us to Thailand.
- Thailand?
- Yeah.
So sorry,
I wish you could join us!
Yeah, me too.
Seo-yeon, listen to your grandparents
and don't cause trouble.
Mom, thanks for watching them.
This is for the memorial.
Sure, don't worry
and have fun there.
- Let's go!
- Gosh,
I feel so guilty
going off by ourselves.
Then don't go.
See you on the day of the memorial.
Okay, have fun
on your family outing.
' Bye. Mom!
' BYE bye!
Goodbye, Dad.
Family outing my ass.
Aren't we family?
Oh my!
What?
Get out, you bastards!
Beat it!
Grandpa, please,
let's talk this over.
Who are you calling Grandpa?
Am I your Grandpa?
That's not what I meant,
Grandpa.
We just suggest you sign while
the price we're offering is good.
Sign?
Take this for a sign!
I won't sell this store
until they shovel dirt on me!
You really won't listen to reason.
It's no use anyway, Grandpa.
Now that the law's changed,
if 80% of the merchants agree,
it'll be expropriated
whether you sign or not.
Scram, you bastards!
You dirty crooks!
You didn't have to throw it.
All right, Grandpa,
we'll go.
See you tomorrow.
Old man just won't listen.
Hey. you there!
You can't park here!
Move your car!
Just 5 minutes.
Think you own this market?
Look, we can't do business
without unloading goods.
- What?
- Why are you so selfish?
You hold out selling your shop,
hurting all of us,
now you won't let us unload?
You want us to starve?
Move it, quick!
What are you staring at?!
Grandpa!
Don't be angry, Grandpa.
I'm scared when you're angry.
All right.
Grandpa, I was reading just now,
what does 'memory' mean?
'Memory.'
This sort of thing's memory.
Thinking about the old days.
Things you can't forget.
What about 'gigabyte?
Let's go.
Don't be angry, Grandpa.
I'm scared when you're angry.
Did you get angry
when you were little?
No.
Then what were you like?
As a boy?
Are you okay, Seo-yeon?
No fooling around, I said!
