A Taxi Driver Page #2

---

It's been 3 days since the martial law.

Kim Dae-jung has been taken in,

and they've got Kim Young-sam under house arrest.

Gwang-ju?

It's a city down south.

And there's no article about Gwang-ju?

No coverage, nothing?

This is the local paper from Gwang-ju.

They censored the whole page?

What exactly happened over there?

No one knows.

We got word of the first casualty

at 3 AM on the 19th...

But now,

even the phone lines have been cut.

What about the foreign press?

Today is Kim Jae-kyu's trial. They all went there.

But the government has eyes on them.

They can't move as they wish.

You must be careful.

I should go to Gwang-ju, first...

By yourself?

But how will you get there?

For a guy so paranoid about his car,

how'd you break a mirror?

A worthless punk. He ran off after busting my car.

Why be a student if you can't be

a decent human being?

All right. I'll only charge 5,000 won, okay?

What? Just take 4,000. I've had a rough day.

Have a heart, man! How can you be so cheap?

And get an inspection sometime.

The engine doesn't sound right.

An inspection? I inspect my car every day.

After 600,000 km, this car is past retirement.

Easy on my car!

Try fixing it after it breaks, it'll cost you more.

Don't give me bad luck! I'm already pissed.

3,000 won, then.

That is so unfair! You know how much parts cost?

- Throw this out?

- No way. I'll use it later.

Leave it.

Dammit!

Hey, what're you doing?

God, you're pathetic.

Pathetic?

So, the kids fought again?

I gave Sang-gu a good scolding.

Ma'am! Over here!

- What?

- Another portion for us.

No, I'm fine. Never mind!

Why not? I said I'd pay.

Don't be silly, I'll pay.

What's the occasion?

Instead, lend me some money.

I figured. How much?

100,000 won. From you private stash.

Hey! I gave it all to my sister

As a secret wedding gift.

But why so much? You paid off all your debts.

It's not the rent, is it?

Bingo!

My god.

Only you would borrow

from your landlord to pay the rent.

Lend it to me before you start saying things.

Ma'am! Give me anything quick!

What's the rush?

We need to play cards after lunch.

You guys play all you like.

I'm going to Kukdo Theater.

- Got a long distance.

- Where to?

Gwang-ju. We'll go now, and be back before curfew.

Wow, you hit the jackpot. For how much?

100,000 won.

100,000 won?

What kind of idiot would pay 100,000 for one day?

A foreigner idiot.

Oh, do you speak English?

Of course. I grew up near the U.S. army base.

Damn, and foreigners pay tips! If you add the tip...

You spent time abroad. Couldn't you handle that?

I'm sorry! Enjoy your lunch.

Ma'am, discipline Sang-gu, will you?

Who does he take after?
