What's your favorite number?
Dong-ku got a 28!
Moon Bok-dong got 18!
Are you happy? Are you happy?
I took an exam today.
I studied a lot.
I'm happy.
I'm happy...
Almost done. Close your eyes.
Water's falling.
Feels so good.
Close your mouth.
- Close your eyes. - My eyes burn.
- Don't move. - My eyes burn.
Got to wash the soap off.
Dong-ku!
We need to wash off the soap.
Dong-ku, come here and wash up!
Hey, Dong-ku.
I said to wipe your belly and back after your arms.
Since water flows down, you have to wipe from the top.
You need to get this right to play baseball well.
Be the best baseball player, okay?
And grow very tall.
Stand by the wall.
You've gotten much taller.
Dong-ku, you've gotten much taller.
Go put on your clothes.
Twenty-eight.
Yes, my boy is amazing.
Go! Dong-ku!
If you stand there, you'll get hit!
Can't you see that?
Dong-ku! Come here!
Okay, Dong-ku.
So you're planning to get hit in order to walk, huh?
That's the attitude I like.
Okay, right here. It doesn't hurt much here.
- Okay, buddy? - Okay, buddy.
Get hit and walk to first base. That's baseball.
Get hit here, okay?
Okay, buddy!
Go.
He's driving me crazy!
Coach, the principal wants to see you.
Why? What now?
Mr. Gwon.
How many players do you have on your team?
Nine.
No, eight.
Sorry.
Eight and a half.
You went to this school, right?
Just between us fellow graduates...
You see those trophies back there?
Hey, Coach.
Know what the parents are saying about your team?
They're urging me to change it into a soccer team.
Then just do it.
What?
Think I'm enjoying this?
There's neither school support nor any interest.
No one signs up anymore, and the good ones all transfer.
Think I have no place to go but this school?
Whether it's soccer or football, do whatever you want!
Hey, you!
Check the website, and see what's there!
Know what the parents wrote?
If you lose again, your team will be gone!
Got that?
He always calls me before the matches.
What? Check the website?
Buy me a computer first!
Damn, it's hot.
Hey, Dong-ku!
Hey, Waterboy!
Waterboy!
I'll show you what I'm made of.
Everyone!
None of you can go home until Dong-ku makes a hit!
Okay, buddy?
Okay, buddy!
Dong-ku, keep your eyes on the ball, okay?
Don't close your eyes!
I told you not to close your eyes!
Swing it!
Dong-ku.
I'll throw the ball slowly.
So open your eyes and focus on it, okay?
Okay, buddy!
Open your eyes, boy!
Keep looking at the ball.
Swing it, boy!
Don't close your eyes!
Here.
I didn't throw the ball!
Keep looking! Don't smile!
One more.
You're really pathetic.
Please come on in.
The house is connected to the store.
So it's bigger than it looks. Watch your step.
Put some sand here.
Look at that.
It's perfect for a cafe if we remodel the place.
You have a great eye for business.
Recently, people tend to like cafes with an old antique look to it.
You can move out in a month, right?
What the hell are you doing?
The faster you move out, the better.
Who told you I will?
Can we move in soon?
Sure, no problem.
You want to sign for it now?
- The earlier, the better. - Shall we?
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
- And the rest? - I'll send it to you on-line.
- Great, thank you. - Good-bye.
Thank you.
Mr. Lee.
What are you doing?
Mr. Hur, it's over.
I'll find a cheap place for you.
I don't want another house!
I know that.
I know your situation very well.
That's why I sold it at a high price before!
That's why I should buy it back!
You have money?
Bring me the money first.
Step aside.
Hey, what are you doing? There's no use doing this!
Sign a contract with me!
You'll have to pay twice with the penalty!
I'll pay twice, three times, four times, whatever!
I'll buy it back! It's my house!
Don't cancel it, Jin-gyu.
It's not worth it.
And all the money you saved would go to waste.
No loan, no guarantee.
I can't even cancel my insurance.
What the hell can I do now?
Who knows what will happen?
What if you got into an accident?
Yes, the motorcycle.
You're delivering chicken at night like this.
Suddenly, a big truck heads for you and you smash into it.
You get nailed on the spot.
No matter how lucky you are, at least your legs will be broken.
And you'd have to walk Dong-ku, crippling like this.
Why are you talking nonsense?
Don't bother your wife while she's doing business.
What kind of business crap is that?
Crap?
Yeah, since I met a crappy husband,
everything I do is crap.
What have you done for me ever since we got married?
Did I say anything wrong?
- Or what if someone got cancer? - Why cancer?
What's the insurance for?
To use it at times like these.
If you're diagnosed with cancer, you'll get covered for all the costs.
Worth at least 100 million won.
- What do you know, you moron? - Moron?
You have no respect!
Now you want respect from me?
Then make money.
Open a tiny store like this at least.
Forget the respect! Go back to your business!
You drive me crazy.
- You're out. - What?
You've struck out.
I'm not out.
This is crazy.
I said you're out!
You're out. Step off.
Move, idiot!
Hey, Dong-ku.
You can't play baseball as long as you close your eyes.
Don't come tomorrow.
I want you off the team, so leave.
And no more Waterboy for you, got it?
Twist your waist some more. Again.
When you swing, lock your legs to the ground.
Coach, let me teach him baseball.
What?
My heart is too weak to run.
But I can teach him baseball.
Let me teach him baseball.
First base.
Second base.
Third base.
Fourth base.
This is home.
Home?
Fourth base is home.
- Home. - Home.
If you go around once to home, you'll get one point.
This is baseball.
Don't get an out. You must be safe.
If you come back home safe, you'll get one point.
Partner, what's 'out'?
Out is death.
If you're thrown out of this team, that's an out.
If you're thrown out of this school, that's an out.
You want to hit the ball, but you can't.
I want to run, but I can't.
These are all outs.
Dong-ku.
You see your school?
Yeah.
Go straight to the left, and see a big street, right?
Yeah.
Next to it is the store where you buy your ice cream.
- Yeah, I see it. - And keep going.
You'll see our house.
Where?
Right there.
- There? - Yeah.
No, there?
Can't you see it?
- Where? - Come here.
Look over there. There's our house.
I see it! Our house!
- See it? - Yeah, our house.
It's our house.
Yeah, our house.
You've taken it all already? Don't take too much of it.
What should I do if I want to get cancer?
Darn it.
What? Cancer?
To prevent cancer, no burned food, no stress, no cigarettes.
But they're not all the causes for cancer.
If all drinkers get liver cancer, and all smokers get lung cancer,
everyone would have cancer.
It all depends on one's destiny.
Anyway, you don't smoke, right?
Guess you won't have to worry about lung cancer.
Put your hands together and hit harder!
Hit harder!
Dong-ku! Harder!
Think of it as the ball and hit it!
Hit it harder!
Harder! Harder!
People make a fool out of you, but you do nothing.
Going to live like that forever?
Hit it! I said hit it!
Partner...
If you can't do this, you'll lose the water pitcher,
and get thrown out of school, you dummy!
Open your eyes!
I said open your eyes!
No time for any water! We have a match soon!
Back to your position!
Move the bat a little! It's a bunt!
Bunt?
Yeah, bunt!
Don't swing. Just move it.
When the ball comes, just put the bat in its way!
That's a bunt!
Bunt?
You're a good runner, so just bunt to first base.
Don't be afraid. You can do it.
It's okay. Open your eyes.
Don't be afraid. Just move it a little.
Do as I tell you.
One strike is okay!
Okay.
Two strikes are okay!
Okay.
But the next is out!
You got it?
This is it! This is a bunt!
Bunt?
Yeah, bunt!
Bunt.
I like bunt.
You like bunt? You want to do it again?
Yeah.
I like bunt.
Bunt it.
Bunt.
The breathing will get harder, so breathe in slowly.
- Breathe in. - Slowly...
Breathe in slowly.
Please relax.
Sir, it's me, Dong-ku's dad.
Remember me?
My son is very nice, but he's a little slow.
I don't care that he's illiterate, but he has no sense of direction.
It took me three years to teach him the way home from school.
It's morning for my son when the sun shines on the house.
He goes to school when the sun rises up to the upper terrace.
My son can't live any where else.
He can't even poo any where else.
You know, my son plays baseball.
As long as he plays baseball, he can go to school.
In order to go to school, he has to live in our house.
Sir, I'll buy it back before long, so don't pass away.
Be strong.
We've done our best.
I don't know if you knew this,
but the means is more important to me than the end.
But through our bitter losses for the past three years,
I've learned the hard way
that my philosophy doesn't fit with baseball.
I have good news though.
According to what I've heard, our opponent is very nervous now.
The reason is...
Dong-ku! It's because of Dong-ku.
They think that Dong-ku could be a secret weapon.
Fools.
- Dong-ku! - Yes!
Chew it.
No, Dong-ku.
Make the ugliest face possible.
Uglier!
Perfect.
And fold your arms.
No, put one in. Good.
Shake your leg like this.
No, shake just one leg.
Do it, good.
Whenever the opponent looks at you, do what I told you.
- Okay, buddy? - Okay, buddy.
Uglier!
Captain!
Ready?
- Yeah! - Yeah!
And begin!
Nice batter! Nice batter! Pitcher baby! Catcher baby!
The ball is good! I like the ball!
Nice batter! Water-batter! Pitcher baby! Catcher baby!
The ball is good! I like the ball!
This is great!
Water-batter! Water-batter! Water, water, water-batter!
Nice batter! Water-batter! Pitcher baby! Catcher baby!
The ball is good! I like the ball!
This is great! Water-batter!
- Dong-ku! - Dad!
Do it right!
More strength in the legs!
Strength!
Spread your legs!
Spread!
Shake one knee!
- Shake! - One, two!
Nice batter! Nice batter! Water-batter!
Fold your arms! Nice batter! Nice batter!
Nice batter! Water-batter!
Lift your jaw!
The ball is good! I like the ball!
The other way!
Nice batter! Nice batter! Water-batter!
Nice batter! Nice batter! Nice batter! Water-batter!
Go to sleep.
Aren't you sleepy?
No.
You have the match tomorrow, so go to sleep.
Close your eyes, and I'll count the chickens.
One chicken jumps over the fence.
Two chickens jump over the fence.
Dad?
Don't the chickens come home?
What?
If they come home, they can get one point.
Yeah?
I'll count them again. Close your eyes.
One chicken comes home.
Two chickens come home.
Three chickens come home.
Four chickens come home.
Five chickens come home.
Six chickens come home.
Play! Play! Sadong!
Look at our son.
Attention!
Bow!
It's hot today, so take care of yourselves.
Sadong attacks first.
This is a preliminary match, so don't play too hard.
Both of you make fine plays, and be safe.
Okay, let's go.
Play ball!
- Victory!! - Go team!
Let's go boys.
Grab your gloves.
Dong-ku! Get out of there!
Coach Kim, take care of your player.
Gather around!
Dong-ku! Come here!
We have to win this game!
Nice batter! Nice batter! Pitcher baby! Catcher baby!
The ball is good! I like the ball!
Water-batter! Water-batter! Water, water, water-batter!
Let's go!
Play!
I told you I can go alone.
Are you going on some date?
Get in.
Let's go.
Catch it! Catch it! He should've caught it.
Damn!
Good job! Good job!
You're doing great!
We got two outs. One more.
- What are you waiting for? - Dong-ku!
- Good job! - Out!
Okay, buddy!
Change the position!
Dong-ku!
Thank you.
What are you doing there?
Waterboy!
Jin-gyu, never give up.
I'll pray for you.
I'll pray that you'll be fine.
I mean I'll pray...
It's...
It's like...
I can't believe this is happening to us.
Dong-ku!
It's a good play! Good!
Strike one!
Strike two!
You're out!
Sadong 3 Jinbuk 0
Mr. Hur Jin-gyu!
Mr. Hur Jin-gyu?
Mr. Hur Jin-gyu, are you here?
Good! Good!
We can do it! We're almost there!
Water-batter! Water-batter! Water, water, water-batter!
- Go! Go! Go! - Hey, are you Water-batter?
Go! Go! Go!
What did they say?
Huh?
What happened?
No!
What shall I do?
I don't have cancer.
See?
I told you.
That's great news.
You don't have cancer, so why are you crying?
Don't cry!
Is cancer a lottery or something?
Stop it!
You, psycho.
We're losing by only three points. We can win this game.
- We can do it, right? - Yes...
- Can we? - Yes!
Safe!
See?
It's safe!
No catch! Safe!
Sadong 7 Jinbuk 6
Safe!
Coach, please stop.
Time out!
A hit can make us win.
Win this game and let's go eat some pizza.
- Coach. - Yeah, what?
My stomach hurts, I can't.
What?
How come you're suddenly sick?
I'm really sick.
Good!
Yes, that's it!
Coach, please switch me.
We have no relief.
If you make a hit this time, you'll be a hero.
If not, I'll be a traitor.
Yeah! Okay, buddy!
Isn't he coming?
Yes, he's coming!
Coach.
Just make a hit, okay?
Go! Go!
You can do it!
Nice batter! Nice batter! Water-batter!
Nice batter! Nice batter! Nice batter!
Ball one!
What's he doing? Pitch it right!
Ball two!
No!
Ball three!
Ball four! Walk to first!
Dong-ku, listen carefully.
You want to keep being Waterboy, huh?
Yes.
Okay.
You keep the pitcher, and I keep my job.
We're at the bottom of the sixth inning.
Two outs and bases are loaded.
The real game starts now.
Okay, buddy?
Okay, buddy.
Yeah, okay, buddy.
- Okay, buddy! - Okay, buddy!
Go! Go! Go!
Strike!
Jinbuk! Slogan!
Nice batter! Nice batter! Pitcher baby!
Louder!
Nice batter! Nice batter! Water-pitcher! Water-pitcher!
Stop it!
Shut up!
Play.
Hit, please!
Strike two!
Time out!
Who told you to call time out?
What will you do?
Yes, time out.
Dong-ku.
Partner, I'm afraid.
Remember how, right?
Partner.
Game's over.
Safe! Safe!
Dong-ku!
Dad, I'm home! I got one point!
Good job, Dong-ku! You're the best!
First base!
Second base!
Third base!
Here's your chicken.
I grilled it perfectly. Come again, okay?
Very nice.
This store's not bad. And there's a stream.
The sign still needs to change.
Dong-ku!
Dad!
Was it hard getting home?
Did you follow the pictures?
Good job. I've been waiting for you.
Change the sign.
Shut up!
Go play Dong-ku.
