Whatever.

I don't care!

Just tell that a**hole

Mr. Dough I'll pay him back

when I find Mila and put her

back to work.

What? Mr. Dough got me

on the wanted list?

Tell him I found her.

Tell him she's next to me.

Of course it's a lie!

I'd be in Korea

if I found her!

Get your words right!

Hello? JANG?

What?

Twenty grand?

Yeah.

It's illegal to park

the car on the highway

and the driver got hurt bad.

They said we're lucky

it's not more than that.

Lucky?

Look, June!

I should be the one

getting compensated.

My life is screwed

because of that accident!

- They'll take the house!

- What about me, then?

What about me?

You pay ten grand.

You're partly responsible.

Why am I partly responsible?

Your mom parked the car on the road

and told me to piss outside

I'm the victim here!

You'd deported without us.

Why would I be?

The hell with

this unfair country!

Diner over there is hiring.

Show up when I call.

You want me

to flip patties? Hey!

I gotta find

that a**hole Yang-moo.

Yang-moo, you a**hole!

Hey! Fire! Fire!

Bro! I'm sorry!

I won't hit you.

Where's Mila?

Where the hell is she?

Mila?

I'm sorry, bro.

Mila?

Don't be sorry!

Mr. Dough

will kill me anyway.

So let's get pissed.

This will be

a mouth-to-mouth shot!

What do I do now,

Yang-moo?

What do I do here?

I'm sorry, bro.

- What is he doing?

- I don't know.

When we would isolate ourselves

from the cries of your people

Companion us into the world

that you so love.

Oh God who hears all prayers

spoken and unspoken

we make this prayer in the name

of our lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.

You may be seated.

Today,

our beloved member, June

will once again share with us

her extraordinary gift, her voice.

When does this end?

When this stop?

Damn English!

In a little bit,

June is going to sing.

When June sings,

everybody becomes happy.

You'll become

happy too, papa.

It's a secret, but mom said

she will be a star.

I wanna be like June

when I grow up.

Do you think

that's possible?

All I asked was

a simple question.

- Okay, good.

- Thank you, papa!

Help me, God.

Oh Lord you've searched me

You know my way

Even when I fail you

I know you love me

I know you love me

At the cross I bow my knee

where your blood

was shed for me

There's a greater

love than this

You have overcome the grave

Glory fills the highest place

One can't separate me now

You tore the veil

You made a way

When you said

that it is done

You tore the veil

You made a way

When you said

that it is done

All is done, All is done

By your glory, is done

We praise you

Praise the Lord!

Get out!

Get outta here!

Okay! Yay!

Why do they wear shoes

in the house?

All this cleaning

and laundry!

The laundry's done but

I don't know what belongs to who.

How sad to see children

grow up in a slum like this.

I even cleaned

the bathroom with bleach.

Good, good.

Try as a singer.

I never told you but

I think it's time you know.

I, uh...

I have the Minus... or the Midas

Touch in Korean music world.

I myself have produced

countless stars.

I guarantee you as

a former manager. You're it.

Your voice level,

tone, range, lungpower...

- Just change the attitude.

- No.

Don't change it.

It's not Obama

who changes the world.

It's Oprah!

You know Oprah, right?

Popularity is power!

You know how much

the most popular singer

in Korea made last year?

There's this one I produced.

Her grandma was sick

and her mom was a janitor.

She worked for

her family of five.

She bought a huge house

two years after her debut.

You know how much it was?

So if I sing, I make money?

Bingo!

- Fine, then!

- Yes!

Then show me

the two grand first.

- Sell your house.

- It's a rental.

We need the basic fund

to get started.

An audition would be

the best way.

I need that money.

Audition, audition...

This is the audition

you have been looking for!

What?

The major record labels are

searching for the next

multi-million dollar

contract artists!

Hey! Don't look!

Super Star K

is in the summer.

When is American Idol?

And the first place winner

will receive 30,000 dollars!

Is he deaf? Turn it down!

This year's

WE Audition is back!

- Is this an audition?

- Yes.

- How much is the prize?

- It's thirty thousand dollars.

- Thirty...

- Thirty thousand.

Thirty thousand?

Thirty thousand dollars!

Where's this audition?

It's at Atlanta...

- A... a...

- Atlanta.

- Atlanta!

- Yes!

I know Atlanta!

I've seen Gone with the wind.

Does he speak Korean?

No.

Right,

that's impossible. Huh?

I don't speak Korean.

Really.

Then are you

speaking Chinese?

What a cunning bastard.

Where'd you learn Korean?

From your mom?

No. From Janggeum.

From the TV drama

Daejanggeum?

It was so good.

I saw it many times.

Really? Yay!

Good for Janggeum!

When's the deadline

for this audition?

June will never audition.

- How do you know?

- Cuz of mama.

She auditioned a lot.

June fought a lot with mama

cuz she was never home.

Then I'll make her audition.

Hammer in the notion

of the orphanage.

Tell Rosie she'll

have to go to orphanage

if June doesn't audition.

Then she won't have her

teddy bear or squeaky shoes.

We'll all be separated.

All of us.

Start talking.

Hey guys, what if we show

Rosie Oliver Twist?

What if we show

Rosie Oliver Twist?

- What is that?

- A movie.

The orphanage warden hits

the kids and gets them to steal.

Nice strategy, guys!

What a good point!

Translate the point only.

But if we make Rosie cry

June will kill us.

Aren't you scared of June?

You scared of a girl?

What a sissy!

And don't you call me ya'!

Then what should I call you?

Your Highness.

- Your... Highness.

- Your Highness.

- Your Highness?

- Good.

Put your hands together.

Like this!

For Rosie, Rosie, Rosie!

One, two, three!

No!

How can you say

that to a child?

It's not a big deal.

You don't think orphanage is

a big deal to us?

I mean...

But this audition

is our perfect chance.

Audition?

Who says I'll audition?

Come on!

You need the money, too!

The prize is thirty grand!

We can pay the twenty grand fine

and split

the remaining ten grand.

- What if I lose?

- You won't. I guarantee.

I mean even if you lose,

couldn't you

just try it out?

It's such a waste of talent!

You're saying

we'll be rich if I win?

Naturally!

And that no one will

look down on us if I win.

So we should get more

loans for the audition?

That's what mom always said.

She doesn't

even compare to you.

You guys listen up.

I'm not entering any audition.

I'm gonna do my best and

as much as I possibly can.

But, I'm not

floundering in a daydream

with whatever the talent

I supposedly have.

One fool is already enough

in this house for that!

- You're not doing your best.

- What?

You didn't see what I did?

I've done everything I could.

Even brought someone

like that into the house!

You're not doing

as much as you can.

You're doing

as much as you please.
