Because I lost my touch.

Cool.

I made enough doing that.

I'm happy with my cab now

because it's a luxury cab.

It's a make-out cab.

I even bought my cab license.

A law-breaker!

I like your bad-boy charms.

But I have no record

of assault or violence.

Still, if I make sexy jokes or stare

slyly at you, call the cops.

Go ahead.

Hop in.

You! Go home!

Can't he join us?

No, he's gotta go home.

Why? Join us.

It's no use. He loves his wife too much.

Really?

He met my sister at age 25.

She's his first love.

My first love was in junior high

and she died of leukemia!

Just joking. Sorry.

Have fun.

Why's your joke sad?

Go home!

A sperm count in the morning?

Don't suspect me.

Doctor said I'm fine.

Who should I suspect then?

The doctor.

At least imagine it. You can feel guilty

without even spending a dime.

Let's eat.

It's unbelievable.

It's salty.

The sauce can be creamier.

This is traditional southern Italian food.

They eat this crap as traditional food?

Business is slow! Just eat ramen.

I'll get kimchi.

Is business slow because of me?

The food sucks! Who'd come here?

Didn't he study in southern Italy?

He went to Venice. It's up north.

He took a class for 3 months.

I took a Chinese cooking

class for 6 months.

Not the Chinese restaurant again!

Just send me an e-mail.

- You won't reply, right?

- Nope.

What's with the Chinks out of the blue!

Chinks?

Chinks!

How ignorant! Are you a racist?

And

it wasn't out of the blue!

Then what?

Suddenly?

Whatever! Just shut up.

I'm going to the bank.

I'm not done talking!

We're not done with our loans!

I'm going home.

Whatever.

We're closed for today.

Can't you stay open?

It's 10 o'clock.

We close at 10 o'clock.

Is there a McDonald's around?

Would you like black bean noodles?

One more bowl?

Can you make me an entre dish?

Entre?

Like sweet and sour pork?

I want to make a Chinese restaurant

distinct to Jeju Island.

A place where even Chinese

tourists will want to come.

Add something unique to

Jeju Island in the sauce.

For instance...

Canola honey!

With no one to really talk to,

I thought I was weird.

We could be weird.

The food is weird too.

Why's Chinese food so

good at an Italian resto?

You don't have to say it's good.

I mean it. It's delicious.

Many years later, when you

suddenly come to mind,

I'll try to remember your name

and think 'the Chinese food!'

Then I'll just order Chinese food

and throw the chopsticks.

And it'll say, 'Bong's

China' on the chopsticks?

That's so sad.

Now, tell me a story.

- What?

- Anything.

A man cooks something for me.

He rests his chin on his

hand and looks at me.

He tells me stories

while I enjoy the food.

I'd love that.

- Rest my chin?

- Yes.

Like this?

On second thought, maybe not.

So, how did you meet your wife?

At a cooking school in Italy.

We paid so much to study there.

But I soon realized I

don't like Italian food.

And my wife realized she can't cook.

Just good at chopping.

We felt like we wasted time and money.

We understood each other.

What can I say?

I can't really explain it.

Our sympathetic nerves

made a tacit connection.

You two beat the odds, huh?

So after school we went out for coffee.

We talked and held hands.

Then we got married.

Funny thing is we're running

an Italian restaurant.

I wanna go.

Really?

Okay.

If a woman who's into you asks

about your wife, don't talk.

If you must, talk about

the bad times with her.

By the way, I want to sleep with you.

That's your picture, right?

It was part of an act.

The last of an ugly relationship.

Is this an act too?

What?

I'm a pretty boring guy.

Why didn't you mention

it before we did it?

Struggling to find the words...

It's cute.

You can go now.

You want me to go now?

You want to go.

Really, you can go.

You're worried.

Take your jacket as you go.

It doesn't suit me.

Okay.

Still awake? It's okay. Don't get up.

What? You're drunk?

A friend from college

suddenly called me.

Don't you want to have a baby or not?

You should work out, not go drinking!

I'm sorry.

I only had a few drinks.

And I made him pay!

Why?

We're not done with our loans.

What friend from college?

A guy named Sang-beom.

Really?

What is it?

I was wondering why it's up!

What's this?

I can explain.

It's mine.

I bought it to wear it.

Go! Get out now!

I don't want to see you!

Get out!

Damn it!

You can't come in here!

Right.

I just came to see you.

Is Bong-soo inside?

Why?

So you can use him again?

How could you do that?

Do you remember Mom's face?

Get lost!

Goodnight.

Hope you're happy.

He just had dinner with her.

Why eat dinner without panties on?

Right. It sounds weird.

Goodnight, sir.

Come in.

It's okay. Come in.

She'll catch you anyway. Why try to run?

Right.

I'll get caught.

Sorry. I tried to go around it...

With the panties, what can you say?

You understand.

I don't want him catching a cold.

Please give him these.

And...

This is his heart medicine. He needs it.

Why chase him out then?

To shock him.

How is this shocking him?

How can you be so calm?

If I got mad every

time he cheated on me,

I would've exploded long ago.

This wasn't his first time?

It's always a first time

with every woman.

I didn't get caught once in 20 years.

But because of a stupid retard...

How many?

That crazy a**hole!

- Don't call your brother that.

- What?

Wait.

How'd you know that?

Because of his receipts and emails.

Recording and remembering...

It's courtesy to the short affairs.

- What an a**hole.

- What?

I didn't say anything.

That's what my first affair said to me.

Not first love, but first affair?

That's new.

She asked me to draw her, then

I started designing better.

I got inspired.

Artists say they were

inspired from being aroused.

Yes, I did it for that.

Then stop. You drive a cab now.

Now, I do it to give

inspiration to others.

Wow, I applaud your

sense of reasoning.

This is Mrs. Song's hip curves.

This is Olga in Russia.

I wanted to make two loops

In the shape of her breasts.

Because of overload issues,

I could only make one.

It's like I left Olga with one breast.

- How sad.

- You know,

when my roller coasters were made,

they were dying to ride it first.

But Dam-deok never asked me

about it or wanted to ride it.

I managed to forgive and forget.

Know what makes me really mad?

He never once took me to ride

a roller coaster he made.

He never talked about how he made them.

How could he do that to me?

I don't get you.

At first, it hurt a lot.

Then I kept thinking 'still',

and couldn't part with him.

Still, it's been 20 years.

Still, he's my husband.

Still, I don't want

another girl taking him.

Ah my!

Come back up and pull your left leg.

Grab the foot and stretch.

What brings you here?

My wife found out.

I'll wear men's briefs from now on.

Are you okay?

I shouldn't be. I did

something not okay.

We didn't do anything.

Right.

I already got punished, so
