It's stopped raining.
Your bags... That's all you have?
Yes, for now...
No smoking inside the house.
I don't smoke.
I don't smoke either.
Very well, then.

Love Talk
People who are alone are the freest people in the world.
But people get so used to their roles.
That once they get this freedom, they get confused.
That's why most cannot bear the fact of being alone.
They put being alone in the same category as loneliness and emptiness.
But people should be confident in whatever road they choose.
We came alone into this world
and it's the same when we leave.
Life is often a lonely journey.
You are listening to 'Love Talk'.
This is Helen Jung.
I just read you a piece from
the book by Tanjuoing titled
49 Things To Do in Your Lifetime.
- Not leaving? - I'm almost done.
- Good night. - Bye.
Doesn't it feel so much cooler in here? So hot in there...
If I ask for your rosary, you'd never give it to me, right?
I'm sorry but...
I know. Your mom gave it to you.
I was just kidding anyway.
Want to dance?
It's about time we change that lock.
OK. I'll call the locksmith. See you tomorrow.
Bye, Andy.
He keeps on...
whether it's in the car, or in the house...
when it's just us two, he always wants me to give him oral sex
and says it's okay.
How old are you?
Sixteen
What about your boyfriend?
Seventeen.
Don't you know that oral sex is no different
from intercourse?
I know.
But still I don't want to be mean
He loves me and I'm afraid I might lose him.
But I think you're not an object of love to him,
you're an object of curiosity.
Isn't he curious because he likes me?
That's not the issue here.
What you have to do now
is try to persuade him one last time.
If it doesn't work, tell him you can't see him anymore.
It may be hard now but it's the only way
to make your relationship last.
The book 'The neuro-behavioral psychology of becoming rich in U.S.'
Was recently published.
This book deeply analyzes
how to achieve the ultimate American Dream.
This is last month's rent. Sorry, it's late.
You are listening to Part Two of Helen's 'Love Talk'.
Let's see who's on the line. Hello?
This is Helen.
Hello.
Were you asleep?
No, I was just about to...
Why?
I just had a beer and thought about you.
Andy. It's too late.
Go home and sleep.
All right.
See you. Good night.
Why did you go to the airport?
I just... someone I know came from Seoul.
Someone you know? Who?
Stop trying to invade my privacy,
just go buy the burgers.
OK
The faster I sped I began to gasp
and I could think of nothing.
When a face appeared slowly
vaguely and faintly it appeared.
And I grew more curious so I sped faster
and just when I thought I would die
the face became clear.
It was ironic.
I thought I'd never forget that face
as long as I lived.
It's ironic that now I can only remember
by going at break-neck speed.
I made some soup. Do you want some?
Is it okay if I have some?
Sure, I made a lot.
You can give this to me later.
I don't need it right now.
But, still...
This is good.
- Is it good? - This series?
It's interesting, I guess.
Do you have a cigarette?
I think he's quite an actor.
- Him? - Yeah.
Did you pick up your father, yesterday?
Yes.
Oh dear, this is a bit strong.
I like Virginia Slims.
You must have seen her too, then.
Yes.
What's she like?
Okay, I guess.
Of course.
- I'm going now. - Ok, dear.
The washer sounded weird yesterday.
Maybe we should get a new one.
What brand is the best?
I'll find it out.
Ok.
- Bye, then. - Ok.
Oh, it's over.
Want to go to Reno this weekend?
You're not even sure. Why bother?
I know, but all Koreans like to go there.
Who knows, we may even find him.
Hey, I told you not to use the internet here.
The owner could come at any time.
I'm not doing anything wrong.
The business is slow here, anyway.
Don't you have anything to do?
How come you're the only private inspector who's not busy?
After I take a shower. I sweat a lot.
Want a beer?
You know we don't have time for that.
Where are the condoms at, babe? In the drawer?
I guess.
What the hell do you have this gun for?
Why you have that gun?
To protect myself.
Hungry? What shall we eat?
You...
Don't you have anything else to say?
After sex, why do you always ask
if I'm hungry or say 'Let's eat something'?
What do you mean?
It's strange that you always say the same things.
Sometimes we could eat together
or if you were busy, you could go first,
or sometimes you could say 'Let's starve and make love again'.
Don't you think so?
Is something wrong?
No.
I'll take a little nap.
You go first.
I'll wait.
I mean it, okay?
I want to sleep alone. That's all.
You want it harder?
Harder? What do you mean, harder?
You want me to massage harder or softer?
Oh, sorry, I thought you meant something else.
Please do it harder.
OK. Please lie on your back.
So, mmm. What else do you do besides massage?
Anything but marry you.
That's too bad.
Cause that's kind of what I wanted you to do.
Shut up.
Do you want extra service?
Sure. Why not?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I was on the phone with your aunt until now.
She was so chatty.
I think she had a drink or two, she kept on repeating herself.
Why didn't you ask her to come visit?
She must be lonely, all by herself.
Mom, turn down the TV a little.
Wait a minute.
I don't think she'll come.
She's stubborn, you know.
Anyway, what about the washer?
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot...
Today, I was...
Hello?
- Do you want it in quarters? - Yes, please.
Did you register for this semester?
We are still on vacation
Oh, right.
Might as well save the money
since you never go to school anyway.
Thanks.
Did you collect the videos from Kingsley and Virgil?
Yes.
But the Vietnamese noodle lady in Kingsley
was actually mad at me.
Mad at you? Why?
I know. I guess that happens.
Yes, Mom.
Mom, you know my battery's low?
All right, don't worry.
Ok.
Okay, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow. Bye.
You're not wearing glasses.
No.
It suits you.
I nearly didn't recognize you.
I get along fine now.
A piece of paper isn't going to change that.
I've already got a green card.
So a wedding vow doesn't mean much.
Still, some people here think it's important.
But if he really wants it,
why would you want to say 'No'?
It's not as if we're going to have a grand church wedding or anything.
That's not difficult. Book a church.
There's no one to invite anyway.
Besides, I'm Buddhist.
Bye, Andy.
Aren't you going?
Listen.
What's wrong?
Let's go get a drink.
Coffee's good too.
Well...
I don't know...
Just one drink.
Sorry. But I'm going to rest.
You know I'm always like this at this hour.
Next time.
Join us again after the Town News.
Do you like the beach?
The beach. The sea. Do you like it?
The sea?
Let's go together sometimes.
Have some seafood too.
Hello?
Yoboseyo?
Hey, Youngshin.
Youngshin.
I'm hanging out with some friends.
What? Santa Monica and Fairfax?
Hey, I'm in the middle of something so I have to go.
Yeah, sorry. Bye.
Bye.
Welcome to Part two of Love Talk.
Shall we take our next caller?
Hello?
Go ahead, please.
I have a question.
Go ahead.
I listen to this program often.
You mostly advise people on problems
in their love lives.
Yes?
Do you have a lot of experience?
I'm sorry?
In love, I mean, you must have,
otherwise it'd be hard
to answer people's questions...
I'm sorry, but could you tell us about yourself?
This program isn't about me, you see.
About me? Well, I don't know...
You must have called because you have something to say.
Hello?
Wait.
I'm thinking about whether
I have something to say.
Everybody has something to say.
If it doesn't come to mind,
doesn't that mean you know the problem,
but want to avoid it?
That could be.
You're right.
Are you married? - No.
Do you live alone?
No, I have a roommate.
Male or female?
I... I�m sorry, this is uncomfortable.
Good bye.
Wait!
Denying and avoiding problem
is not the best way to go about it.
As time passes, the problem deepens
and at some moment it could become unbearable.
Aren't you being too theoretical?
Those problems don't have correct answers
like in school.
Of course not,
but I'm not just speaking on a theoretical basis.
Then how do you know
I'm in such a situation?
I...
From your experience?
What shall we have?
What do you like?
Well...
I don't know...
Why don't you just choose two dishes that you like?
You're the same as always.
Have I changed?
No not really... but you look thinner.
You're just being too nice.
No, really.
Are you seeing anyone?
No... not yet.
You don't even have a girlfriend?
Maybe you left her back in Korea?
They make great omelets here.
Do you like them?
He's jealous.
Well, see you.
Ok,
I'll call you.
No, I'll call you.
Though, I'm not sure when.
You understand, right?
Did you ever think of me?
Yes.
A few days ago,
I ran into someone I knew a long time ago.
Man or woman?
- Woman. - Hey~
Someone you had a crush on?
In college. A long time ago.
Why go so far?
There's one right near you.
What are you talking about?
The one who lives with you.
- Sunny? - Yeah.
Nothing happened so far?
What?
Did you guys get it on?
She looked like she'd be good at it.
Didn't she ask for it instead of the rent?
I'm asking you as a friend,
don't talk about her that way.
Unless you want to make me mad.
Hey, I was just kidding.
Wait, stop the car quick.
Been a long time since I've had work.
You're early?
What's the occasion?
It's summer school.
Do you want something to eat?
Do we have flour and a pumpkin?
Why?
I want to make Sujebi soup.
There should be some from before.
I think I should go to Sacramento.
- To see my aunt? - Yes.
When?
The day after tomorrow, maybe?
We're on the phone too much.
I bet her phone bills will cost more than a flight.
The old girl's making so much of a fuss.
How long will you be staying there?
Not long.
Whatever would two old women like us do?
You should go for a short break.
It's not as hot there
so it'll be good for you to go.
Move over, I'll make the dough.
Bring me the anchovies.
Oh, and the washing machine?
I brought you a catalogue.
Look at the photos and choose one.
What would I know? You choose.
Use my check book.
I have the money Dad gave me.
Thirty two dollars, please.
Thank you.
I'll see you.
Can I stay tonight?
You know I don't ask. We just sleep.
Sorry, Andy. I'm still uncomfortable.
What's uncomfortable?
Andy, I'm tired right now.
Go home. I'll see you tomorrow.
Tell me what's uncomfortable about me being here?
Tell me.
I don't want to talk about it.
What the hell am I to you?
Why do you keep looking at the clock?
Waiting for somebody?
Tell me exactly what you want to know.
Sunny. I just want to spend
more time with you.
We should be like other people by now.
Sleeping together, eating together,
doing everything together, we want to be...
Stop. Please stop.
Don't you know me?
I told you from the beginning.
I don't want to be controlled. Don't you remember?
Yeah.
Fine... I'll go.
Just come back when you need me, right?
Stop.
If you have something to say, say it now.
Cause you're not going to have another chance.
How can you say that to me?
I didn't do this. You started it.
Man, oh man. What you live is sad.
Sad? Is this pity?
It's not pity. It's love.
You can play the victim.
Take advantage of me.
Everything I feel, it doesn't mean anything to you.
You've got a problem.
You best solve that out
or you are going to be unhappy for the rest of your life.
Do you remember I told you remind me of my mother...
same skin.
Beautiful just like her...
she was a disappointment, too.
My sister was on Prozac for a long time
These anti-depressants are quite common here in the US,
but it was still unfamiliar to Korea.
So, tell us.
What are its true effects?
There are anti-depressants
such as Zoloft, Paxil and Prozac
Among them Prozac is the most
commonly used in the western world.
It's even known as the happy pill
and has minimal side effects.
But lately, claims of side effects
have risen in the US, UK and Canada
According to the FDA's report
young people on Prozac may have
a higher inclination to commit suicide.
In my opinion, it's hard to say
whether the drug is harmful or not.
But the most natural way to cure
this disease of the heart, depression
is for family and friends to care
and help them control themselves.
I believe it would be best to leave drugs
as a last resort.
Hey where are you going? Hey little lady, stop right there.
Do you have any idea who I am?
Sir, please calm down. What's the problem?
I am calm.
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Sunny, stop it.
This is bull shit.
Sorry...
I'm not ready yet, sorry.
Come in for now.
Sorry about the mess.
I just came home last night really late and
I didn't have time to clean the house.
Am I here too early?
No, not really. But...
She's my daughter.
Elizabeth, say hi.
Hi~
The babysitter isn't here yet. So...
Are you Alice's friend?
Yes.
She's my wife.
We are just separated for now.
If you don't leave her alone, I'm going to kick your ass.
She's my wife, OK?
He wasn't your type?
Bitch.
Go on home.
No, I'm all right.
Go and take a rest.
I'll close up for today.
Hello.
Oh, hi.
You're home early.
Yes.
You did the cleaning.
That was my job.
You always do it.
I never asked you to.
So today, I did it.
Please, let me do it from now on.
You've been drinking?
A little.
I think it's more than a little.
Do you want to have another drink?
So we're both home early today.
How are you, these days?
Sorry?
Have you settled down?
I'm not sure.
You seem strange and pale.
Is something wrong?
Maybe you broke up?
No.
Your face is an open book.
You're such a good guy.
Who is it that hurts you so much?
Come on, you can talk to me.
It's nothing.
So you don't want to talk to me?
It's not that.
Maybe I'm too old for you?
No, really, it's not that.
Yes, it is.
Aren't all men the same?
That's not true.
Really?
Then...
would you go out with me?
See?
I wouldn't either, actually.
I'm a very used woman.
Something happened today, right?
No, really. Nothing happened.
Yeah? Well, me too.
Really.
There's a man.
Yes.
I sleep with one from time to time
and live with another, but like strangers.
And?
I just...
I always feel empty.
You have two men but none that you love.
Love...
I don't know about that...
I live with a very small hope, and
try to avoid needy relationships...
It's not easy, though.
I think I'm becoming more pathetic as time goes by.
Would you mind me asking you
what your hope is?
That's...
Although I'm not sure what it is
but you have restrained your feelings
for a long time to keep that hope.
And now that you look back
you feel as if you were
too neglectful of your love life.
Have you... also experienced this?
You called once before, didn't you?
I want advice that's realistic rather than theoretical.
Like, things that you experienced.
I told you before,
I don't answer personal questions.
Have you ever been something
you really wanted, but you had to hold back your feelings for it?
Have such an experience?
Yes.
I have.
- Oh, you're awake? - Yes.
I'm sorry I woke you.
Sleep some more.
No, it's all right.
The blind must be broken.
It's been awhile. I'll fix it.
The room's a mess...
So this is what you did.
I made something in the kitchen.
Would you like some?
Yes, thank you.
Aren't you late for work?
I'll just call in that I'll be late.
I'm really sorry for yesterday.
About what?
Is it true? You're so lucky!
She's getting married.
Congratulations. I'm so jealous.
Congratulations with all my heart.
It's no big deal.
I'm going to the City Hall to get a simple piece of paper.
Marriage license. Just a piece of paper.
Look, when you're happy, just say so!
All right, I'm happy.
Shouldn't we have a party or something?
- Yeah, we really should. - Yeah, that'll be good.
What are you so excited about?
What are you doing?
I'm curling my lashes.
That's a lash curler?
Yes.
It looks like a cell phone to me.
It does. Hello?
Let me see.
It's brand new. There's heat inside.
It's pretty cool.
Hey, I haven't seen Andy for few days.
Do you know what happen to him?
So we are working without a security guard?
Just wait, guys. I'm looking for really hot one.
Shut up.
Hey, I miss him.
I don't have money for a wedding.
We should at least have a party.
Shall we?
It's too embarrassing.
Don't even think about it.
It's not embarrassing. Come on!
Yeah, like we used to, when you guys were living together
I broke up with my boy friend a couple of days ago.
Except for Bokhee, no one here has a boyfriend.
No no no no no.
She has one.
Really?
Living in the same house~
Shut up.
My friend says that
a Swap Meet is opening at Bakersfield.
He said we could open a shop there.
