Palwolui Christmas

---

CHRISTMAS IN AUGUS Dr. Kim to the Outpatients Clinic, please.

When I was a kid...

...I always sat alone in the playground...

...after the other boys had gone...

...thinking about my late mother.

It struck me that...

...we'd all disappear in the end...

...my father, my sister,|all my best friends.

Can I help you?

My photos should be ready.

- The name is...?|- Choi Myung-suk.

- You took them two days ago.|- Here they are.

Sorry...it's not a very good likeness...

Let me just fix your hair a little.

That's much better.

Just a touch higher on this side.

It's all right as it is.

Okay? Then we'll take one.

Look straight at the camera...

Look straight at the camera.|One, two...

Hello?|Oh, Chul-goo!

Your father has died?

Please try to regain your composure!

He has passed on, but we must carry on!

Please help yourselves to some food.

This way! Lunch is served.

CHOWON PHOTO STUDIO

"CLOSED"

I've been waiting for ages!

Can you print this for me urgently?

How long will it take?

I'm sorry, can you come back later?

No, it's very urgent!|I need an...

...enlargement of the bit I've circled.

Did I upset you?

Sorry, I've had a very hard morning.

Here.

Is the enlargement ready?

Give me must a few moments more.

Dad, the potatoes are ready.

Put them in the pot.

- Jung-won...|- What?

Bring me the green onions, will you?

- The green onions?|- Yes!

How much do you want, sir?

Fill it up, please.

Right you are, sir.

Welcome!

Hi! Good morning!

It's full, sir.

- How much?|- That'll be $2.

Here you are.

Thank you, sir.

How much miss?

Fill it up, please.

Mister, isn't she the cutest one?

- Who?|- Her? She's short and fat!

Mine's prettier!

Get real! Look at mine!

Boys! Calm down!

Chan-kun, which is your favorite?

I have several.

Really? Which ones?

This one, this one and this one.

- Three?|- She's the best one.

This one? What's her name?

Seo Eun-ji! She's the best!

She's mine! Hands off!

Boys...have you spoken to these girls?

- Not yet.|- Never?

If I enlarge this,|it won't come out very sharp.

That's all right.

- Sure?|- Yes.

Okay, then come back tomorrow...

...say around six.

They'll be ready then.

Please take special care, mister!

Don't worry about it!

Bye for now, mister.

Bye.

Men and boys, you're are all the same...

...always chasing girls.

What's wrong with that? It's natural!

Anyway, better than bringing in pin-ups.

You enlarge those too?

Yours is a porker.

Well, yours is ugly.

Boys, stop fighting!

It's been a really long time...

Yes, it has.

You're back now?

Yes.

You haven't changed at all.

- Neither have you.|- Who? Me?

Well...bye for now.

OK.

Bye...

Hi, Brother!

When did you get back?

Just now...What's that?

I bought some radishes.

The red one is radish kimchi...

...it goes in the fridge.

The white one is cabbage kimchi...

...it's not fermented yet.

I ran into Ji-won this afternoon.

She told me she met you.

I feel very sorry for her.

Her husband started gambling again.

He's even violent sometimes.

How are things at work?

Busy... But it's still hard...

...to pay all the salaries.

You still haven't got over Ji-won?

Remember our days in primary school?

You kept her picture...

...in your exercise book.

I only just stopped here!

You want to fine me again?!

Yes, if you keep parking here!

Please move your car!

This is a no-parking zone!

Can I help you?

Can you fix my camera?

Sure.

How much is the camera you use?

Why do you ask?

Just curious...

People would take me more seriously...

...if I had a big one like that.

Mind if I take a rest here?

Yes. No problem.

I'm fed up with this heat!

Exhausting, isn't it?

You're a Leo, right?

Born in August?

Leos are supposed to be...

...compatible with me.

By the way, how old are you?

Me? I'm...late twenties.

That means thirty-something!

Middle-aged!

You're still single, right?

Wrong! I have two kids.

You're lying!

I can tell from your clothes!

I'll take a short nap...

Please don't talk to me.

- By the way...|- What?

How come you're so fresh with me today?

Dad, how come your stew|always tastes so good?

Mine is never this good.

Me neither.

It takes time and effort.

She's a good wife but a terrible cook...

Just like her mother!

You mean my daughter won't...

...be a good cook either?

Right!

Brother, call me after you've|seen the doctor tomorrow.

I'll be all right, don't worry.

Take care of Chong-rae...

...she should eat less sugar.

Dad, shall I take it?

I was a professional too, don't forget.

One, two...

Hi, where are you off to?

The district office.

What's that?

Going to give me a hand?

Since you're my best customer...

It's quite heavy!

Get on.

No boyfriend?

No, not interested. They are all boring.

You'll change your mind when...

...you meet a nice one.

Maybe...

Okay, hold tight!

Hello...

Ji-won!

Cleaning up?

Yes...

Wait for me inside.

Ji-won...

You remember our school days?

I used to copy your diary...

And we had a big fight when I found out.

You've been here for...

...more than twenty years!

Not bored with it yet?

Well, I don't know...

Why didn't you marry?

I was waiting for you!

You have two kids?

Yes...

I didn't expect to come back.

I heard you're very ill.

No, no, not at all.

It's really serious?

I'm all right! I'll be fine!

Time changes us so much.

After some more awkward small talk...

...Ji-won asked me to remove...

...her picture from the display.

I suppose all things must pass...

...including 'love'...

Mr. Yoo Jung-won...

...please come to the MRI Room.

Where are you going?

I have to take some pictures.

So what can I do?

This is terribly urgent!

Tastes good?

No, no...I've had enough.

- Go on! Have some more!|- No, no...

You're the only son, right?

What makes you think so?

I can tell from the way you eat.

When we had ice-cream at home...

...there was always a riot.

Go ahead, you first.

Many brothers and sisters?

How many?

I don't know why Mom had so many.

Look...

Drawing a line like this...

...would always start a fight.

It was a real drag.

Damn traffic cops!

Get lost!

You're killing my business!

We want some lunch!

No way. You're not eating here!

Looks like no restaurant will have us.

Hi, what are you doing there?

Just enjoying the shade...

Where have you been?

At the market.

You?

Yes, I like cooking.

Let's see...noodles...and spinach?

You can cook all this?

Why not?

I must go.

- Back home?|- Yes.

Take care!

Excuse me!

What are you doing?

- Finished work?|- Yes.

Could you have these ready by tomorrow?

Sure.

She's shattered...we had a lousy day.

- See you!|- See you!

It's been ages since we drank together.

Really!

Remember that girl you chased?

The butcher's daughter?

Yeah, the one who dragged you...

...onto presidential campaign rallies!

Hard to believe that was only...

...ten years ago.

One more bottle, please!

There's no mistake in the check!

Chul-goo, buy me one more drink!

No way. I'm a reformed character!
