Where are you at?
I'm in Ulsan.
So you live close by.
And you can even drop everything and leave.
What's your remedy for being upset?
Watch a movie on my VCR. I don't
have the luxury of dropping everything.
Still, I think it's good to just leave
everything when things get crazy.
Really?
Should I really leave everything and go somewhere?
Since I came this far maybe I should go to Busan
and see you up close.
It might sound like cheating...
But really I'm not a player or anything.
I know how you feel
But I would feel much more comfortable
If we limit this relationship to the telephone.
Well, it was just a thought.
All right, but tell me your real name at least.
Just keep calling me Yoonjung
Love is a Crazy Thing
Even Seungkyu has an inline skate!
You promised last time!
Shut up and eat.
Like there's anything good to eat!
Don't eat, then!
I guess some of us aren't hungry.
Come here. At least one of my boys deserves a good meal.
Seungkyu lost it once, and his mom
replaced it for him.
Go live with him, why don't you?
Geez...
Don't say that. Mom hates it when you say that.
Hello. This is Busan Bank.
We inform you that Mr. Kang Kibom has not deposited
his interest and principal for his loan for five consecutive months.
The late payment fee is $1440 currently...
Bye!
- What did you learn today? - Folding papers. What about you?
Well, mommy went way over there.
Way over where?
Well, way over there, somewhere...
That bastard supervisor calls me up and
says I should quit, saying
it's for everyone's good.
Man, since when did companies let young women stick
men with harassment suits? Shit.
My life's going down? Drain all because of that little bitch.
Let bygones be bygones.
Things get better after bad things happen.
Aw, damn. Screw you! I don't believe
in friggin' bullshit like, 'Things get better
after bad things' or 'Silver lining in
every cloud. In this stupid country,
you're in the pits forever once you become poor.
Aw, dang. Shit! This world sucks.
Say lady, why don’t just come out here
and let me buy you a drink? I really
like talking to you. We'll drink
until we drop and do some humpin' in the bed.
How about it? What's your price?
Are your hands inside your undies right now?
Yes, they are.
Hey, lady! I don't think you're doing what I want.
I am doing it.
Then what's the voice?
You don't sound like you're rubbing yourself.
Can't you do this right? Can' t you even jack me off properly?
I gotta go.
- See you around. - Hey, hey... don't be playin' with me.
Why don't we get together, huh?
No. 33, here.
I was on the line for an hour and 25 minutes.
Men's phone service? I'm No. 33, here.
And my money's not in my account.
I always got my money on the 20th.
What are you talking about?
This is nuts. It's only been a month for me.
But I've worked here for five...
Why should I pay for all five?
This isn't right. You've been here for a whole month.
I told you yesterday that I was no. 33, and loud and clear.
Hey, I don't know you. Either talk to the ex-owner, or go tell the cops
if you have a problem with it.
You can't do this to me.
Right. She shouldn't.
Well, you got yourself a new business,
but you're still pulling that old trick.
Hi, there.
She has to eat too, you know.
Is this any of your business?
Lady, tell the cops. You'll get off with a warning, and but they'll stick
her with a real heavy fine.
All right, OK.
I'll pay you first thing tomorrow, so go one. OK?
Thank you.
Oh, yeah right.
Don't leave Get it in cash.
I told you I'll send it tomorrow.
Don't bother going to the bank.
Did you write everything down last month?
- Yes. - Let me see.
Oh, my God! Please!
Nice handwriting. And... my, you worked hard.
How much do you get paid for ten minutes?
Not ten. $3 for every half-hour.
- And if you don't make 30 minutes? - Oh, come on...
I get nothing.
It's all like that these days.
Well, since you agreed to that
- I guess that's what you get. - This is nuts.
Still, that's quite bit.
Pay up.
Hey, you owe me a meal for this OK?
- So your name is Aujin? - Yes.
Close your eyes, Aujin.
What do you see?
Nothing.
Just like the life you're having.
Think about it, and call me when you're ready.
It will be a lot worthwhile then talking to horny men on the phone
Hey! Wait up!
Well, this is lot.
I know I have rent backed up, but...
Hey. I'm not that narrow minded.
But I had to make a living somehow.
Well, have your husband take care of it.
I mean, how much can women really earn, anyway?
- Leaving already? - Well
my hubby will be home early, and he wants a special treat.
He really knows how to peeve his wife.
Good-bye, Jinhyoung!
See ya.
- See you around. - OK.
Do you like it?
- Yes! - It's great.
Open the goddamned door! Open it! Hurry up!
I have had it!
Why do I have to sneak around because of collectors?
Did you see they way they looked at me?
Let me give you name.
Remember any old nicknames? From school?
- Yoonjung - OK. That will do.
We have an agreement with them, so try to go 'dry' in the afternoons,
I'm sure you thought about it, but this business isn't a walk in the park.
- So act tough, all right? - Yes, ma'am.
Madam? The Great Palace wants us to send some girls over in a hurry.
- How many? - Three
Oh, no. We only have two left.
Call Pear Gardens and borrow one.
You think they'll let us?
Just see what they say.
Excuse me... but maybe I should go.
They men who call us aren't rich.
The rich ones go to expensive salons and play with teenagers, not here.
They know you're married, and old.
So don't try to pretend otherwise, because they know.
Our prettiest girls are here. Have a great time with them, sir.
Sit down right here if you can get down and hot. If you can't, you might as well
just go home.
Mom, mommy...
I didn't fight with Jinhyoung today, and I ate dinner, too.
Really? That's a good boy. Go to sleep now.
Drink up. Healthy bodies are all you have.
Drink up, and go for it! You could buy us dinner...
Let's go! Play hard!
- Go for it - hey, that's enough.
Drink up!
Well, you're being awful nice, Mr. Director.
Hey, don't call me that. Call me by my first name.
You wish.
#Ride!
Hey, they want to go to the 'final round.'
Count me in!
What about you?
Let's go. You don't make money if
you don't go to the 'final around.'
I don't think I can.
Yoonjung!
I'm sorry, but I can't do these kinds of things.
Cut the crap. We're no different
from whores. What a load of BS.
Who do you think you are?
Come on. If she doesn't want to, she doesn't have to go to final round.
Oh, my God. She's acting the nun. This is just great!
Will you shut up?
What a bunch of rejects. I'm getting sick of this. Why do we waste
our car and gas on you? It's expensive as it is.
Hey, don't push us like that.
If you're being pushed, then I'm over the edge already.
Come on. Lay off me.
And how could you call a customer mister?
Just what are you thinking?
Hey. Just give me some water.
Well, she not made at you just because
you didn't go to the final round.
She's mad because you got yourself
out of something they have to do.
Anyway, the madam says you can go early tonight.
- The book says we paid you. - Well, I didn't get it.
Hey, if I didn't pay you, it would say so right here.
Are you saying I'm lying?
You're late. Did you eat yet?
Get off of me.
Here. It's good stuff.
Why are you giving me...
Because I see you wearing cheap makeup all the time.
Hey, I don't think this is right.
Get it right.
Thank you, sir.
Be good tonight. Good bye.
Where are you going? Let's go another around with me.
Hey, man. Get up. Let's go. Let's go. Did you say goodbye?
Hey, let me finish this.
Hey, are you all right?
Hey, don't mind me.
I gave up on dragging Yoonjung to the final round.
Pay me first!
All right, OK. All right... I'm not the sort that
rips off whores out of their sex money.
Then pay me first. I didn't come here because I'm a flirt.
You little bitch.
Then you thin I came
The stupid whore... shit, curse my luck today.
You can't hack it.
Look. If you're going to set a bad example for the other girls, quit.
Take the job seriously, or just quit.
Know why they can laugh out loud?
They're confident.
Do you know why?
Because life would be too tough for them
they're not.
Don't bother coming out tomorrow.
You know, there aren't many people who get to do what they really want.
I don't know what's going on with you
but being a coward and
compromising a little can make your life a whole lot easier.
How can you say that?
Well, that's what I used to think
but it turned out to be right.
You know what they say: 'Do only what you can.'
Well, I hope I didn't waste too much of your time.
No... not at all. It's OK.
And it's the first time that you actually called me.
I wasn't expecting it, really.
In fact, I was kind of loafing around.
- Where are you right now? - Guess.
Well, I hear cars, so you're not at home.
I think I hear people talking.
I'm here to meet a friend. Well, and that friend just got here.
I'll leave you alone now. Bye.
Anyway, never lose hope. Go get 'em!
Thanks
Well, hello... it's sure has been a while. I was wondering where you were.
What? Oh, no...
Wow. You must've enjoyed yourself.
Should we? All right. See you.
Well, I won't be disappointing you any more.
Wear this.
Mr. Jung?
Hold on. Yes, ma'am?
Yoonjung and I are going out. I'm just letting you know.
Yes, ma'am.
No, no. I'm sorry...
Pay attention to the guests today, because they're my VIPs.
And this time, go to the final round with them.
Yes...
#Even when they leave,
#my love will go on,
#There's someone from a distant star,
#the one I have waited for.
#When you are with me,
#you will make more flowers blossom.
#We will become one again,
#and return to that star once more.
#This heart, my heart, full of hate for you...
#I gave you all my hearts.
- Long time no see, Mr. Cha. - Same here.
- Did you give it to them? - Yes, She paid me right away. In cash, too.
- Did she like the color? - Yes
He's the guest of honor today. He already sold three this month.
Really?
Some people could care less about the recession,
and they keep buying foreign cars.
#When all I do is give, millions and
#millions of flowers bloom.
#And I can go to the star I have longed for...
OK, now, go and be a gentleman for the madam's little sister.
Huh. Yes, sir.
Well, did you get your million roses?
Anyway, I'm Cha Minsoo. Nice to meet you.
I'm Kim Yoonjung.
- See ya. - Good-bye
Good night.
Well, you're making me embarrassed.
I heard it's your first time.
The madam said she'd kill me if I'm not nice.
You can go if you don't want to.
Can't reach the mobile I'll take the kids My husband, business trip.
What kind of a restaurant makes you work all night?
It runs all night.
Thanks for taking care of the kids.
No need to. I like kids, anyway.
Oh, and I might just have one.
My husband's been telling me
we should try artificial insemination.
Good for you.
Actually, I was thinking of adopting
one of your boys if things didn't work out.
You're welcome to take them off me.
But I'm not sure if anyone can handle them.
Anyway, just work hard and don't worry about the kids.
Darn... the ones I like are too pricey.
But the cheap ones, I don't like.
My and hubby and I should drop by...
To your restaurant.
Both my husband and I love raw fish.
The restaurant's not that great,
and neither is the food.
Well, I guess you won't like me seeing you work. So don't worry,
I won't go. Anyway, want to go
to the department store with me?
No. I don't have anything to buy.
Yeah, you should rest up.
I don't see any hope here.
It'll be about three years.
I'll send you every penny.
Can't we... just get a divorce?
The judge knocked with his gavel,
I couldn't believe it'd be so easy.
And my husband of 11 years became a total stranger.
I'm sure it was still hard.
Maybe I shouldn't say this,
but I thought of my husband as a package...
you know a few cookies,
and a few roses here and there...
And candy bars, too.
Anyway, congratulations.
What do you mean by that?
Divorce is a tough thing, but you did it anyway.
Maybe I should get one.
What's the best thing about being divorced?
I don't have to deal with the bank and all those collectors anymore.
I'm relieved.
Uh, oh... I have a lot of debt,
so count me out.
I don't believe this. Five rejections in a row.
From that ugly dude?
I didn't think he was...
Don't worry. I'll do him till he drops.
- I'm counting on you. - You betcha.
Hello, everyone.
You're here... finally.
Come on. Come and sit down.
Well, I see Mr. Cha can really knows how to enjoy.
He kept rejecting
until he got us the hottest women.
Hey. Don’t just stand there.
- Fill up his glass. - We should drink up too, honey.
- Yeah, we should. - Yeah.
- Drink up. - Yes, dear.
Gimme some ice.
Hey.
She's my friend. Better not talk to her like that.
Oh, my... he even stands up for his woman.
#I'll be together with you,
#although we are not right now.
#I'm holding myself for seeing you,
What's wrong with paying my own
money to drink with a woman I like?
Well, I just wish you'd think of how we feel about all this.
You know, that is very disappointing.
I'm sorry if I did.
Is there something about me you don't like?
Excuse me?
Well, you didn't seem happy to see me.
And I took the guys there because I wanted to see you, but
you got sort of upset at me.
- I did? - You did.
I'm sorry, then.
You're not getting away with a simple 'sorry' for what you did.
I was ashamed.
Ashamed being seen
as this promiscuous woman
selling drinks and smiles for fun.
Tell me how you live.
You want to know that?
Well, I just want to hear it.
I got myself a new curtain,
a purple one with flower patterns.
And that was enough to change to
whole atmosphere in my house.
I watch home shopping channels to pass my time,
and usually, the ones I like a pricey
and I don't like the ones I can afford.
Don't look. You're embarrassing me.
Wait.
Take a cab.
I'm not going to Seoul or anything.
You can't go to Seoul on that.
Let's say goodbye now.
I think I'll wash and stay here a bit more.
Bye...
Hold on.
Do you want to be friends?
I like you...
And I'm not saying this because I think you're easy. It's because,
I know a lot of people, but I don't have real friends.
Let's be friends.
- Which room are they in? - Room 3.
I didn't know you made rounds yourself.
Look for me after you're done with your work.
- You're gonna stay here. - Yeah. I'm not feeling well.
- Are you sick? - Just get inside.
So you have a field trip tomorrow.
Let's see what you have to take there.
- When's mom coming back? - Mommy's busy.
Oh, my God. You've been biting your nails.
