Columbus Page #3

back here. Maybe Chicago.

What about you? When are you

leaving?

[CASEY]

Uh, to where?

To school. To anywhere.

[CASEY]

Oh, I like Columbus.

- C'mon, Casey.

- No, I do.

I mean, you of all people,

should be in college.

I'm not in any hurry.

Well, you already missed a year.

You can't keep putting it off.

Uh, we need to get some book

carts in the back.

Right, yeah.

You should listen to me.

[CASEY] Uh, Emma, this is Gabe,

Gabe, Emma.

I went to high school with her.

Yeah, I was a year ahead,

but we were still really close.

She's like my little sister.

Um, I should probably get back

to work.

It was really nice to see you.

Oh, wait... text me, okay?

Let's hang out.

Yeah, okay.

(SPEAKING KOREAN)

(SPEAKING KOREAN)

(SPEAKING KOREAN)

Actually, I'll take one,

if you don't mind.

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

You speak English.

You don't think Asians can speak

English?

Yeah, of course.

No, yeah, I was just... I heard

you speaking on the phone and...

Sorry, I'm being a jerk.

You offered me a cigarette,

and I'm giving you a hard time.

I didn't mean to...

I know what you meant.

Sorry, I'm having a rough day...

or year.

I saw you at the hospital.

You did?

Yeah, it was early in the

morning.

Sorry, I don't remember.

Are you... I don't want this

to sound offensive...

if you're not, but are you

related to Jae Yong Lee?

I am, I'm his son.

How did you know that?

I was planning to go

to his talk...

- but it was cancelled obviously.

- Ah.

We heard what happened.

Is he okay?

He's stable... not enough

to put on a plane.

He's still unconscious.

I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

My name's Casey.

It's actually Cassandra,

but everyone calls me Casey.

- Jin.

- Jim?

Jin... with an "n."

Got it. Jin.

Are you from here?

Yeah, we moved here

when I was four.

Do you like it here?

I do. How about you?

Not sure yet.

Do you like the Inn?

Yes, it's quite fancy...

like I might break something.

It's not very modernist though,

is it?

No.

Is that where your father...?

Yeah.

See, it's asymmetrical...

but it's also still... balanced.

So, you were planning on going

to my father's talk?

Mm-hm.

Are you familiar with his work?

No, but... I'm really interested

in architecture.

I've been to almost all the

talks in the past few years.

Yeah, I hear this town

is quite the Mecca.

I'm sure everyone here

is fanatical...

about architecture, huh?

Are you kidding?

No, most people, they don't

really have any idea.

I mean, they know some things...

but they don't really give

a sh*t.

Is that right?

Yeah, you'd be surprised how

little people know...
