Oasis Page #4

Synopsis: Jong-du, a young man just out of prison for manslaughter, is a social misfit: fidgety, snuffling, laughing inappropriately, without a super ego. When released, he calls on the family of the victim; they send him away, but not before he has seen Gong-ju, a young woman disabled severely by cerebral palsy. Both are abused by their families, and both are used by them as well. Although their relationship begins with Jong-du's criminal behavior, a friendship develops. They talk of favorite things; he washes her hair; they go out; in late night phone calls, he helps her past her fears of the dark. Is there a place in the world for these two inarticulate people?

Gong-Ju, are you ready?

Coming!

Good afternoon

We're from the district office and we're

conducting a survey of tenants

Yes, I heard about it...

Do come in

Sorry to be a bother

The tenancy is in

the name of Han Gong-Ju

Yes, she's my sister-in-law

Is she here?

She's in there

She loves listening to music

How do you do?

She tends to get shy and clam up

in front of strangers

Gong-Ju, do you want a drink?

Oh, I haven't offered you anything

Can I get you a drink?

Never mind, we should be going

This building is for disabled tenants

But, we've heard people moved

in using other names

So we have to check in person

Of course, it's only right

Sorry to trouble you

Thank you for your good work

What have you been eating?

You weigh a ton!

Darn light still doesn't work!

Your sister-in-law is waiting in the car,

I should go now

Give me a call if anything's wrong

Call me if the neighbors don't feed

you properly or anything else

After all, we're paying them

200,000 won a month

200,000 won is not a small

amount, you know

Alright, you go now

I'll stop by when I can

Hello?

Pardon?

Pardon?

What are you saying?

What the hell?

I'm calling... to...

...ask you something

Relax

Only if you say you'll forgive me

You said you wanted to

ask me something

What was it?

Why...

"Why..."

Why... did you...

"Why did you?"

Why did you bring me flowers?

Why did I bring you flowers?

I don't really know

Is your name really Gong-Ju?

Yes

Why?

Well, because Gong-Ju

means "princess"...

I'm descended from a general

Ever heard of General Hong

Kyung-Rae?

I'm his 18th generation descendant!

Hong Kyung-Rae... wasn't... a general

Pardon?

Hong Kyung-Rae... was a... traitor...

not a general...

Hong Kyung-Rae was a traitor,

not a general?

Was he?

From now on...

...I'm going to call you

Your Highness

Your Highness, the princess!

Then I will call you... General

General?

Your Highness!

Yes, General!

General, what do you do?

Me?

What do you do?

I fix cars

I work with my brother

at his small auto shop

I envy you.

What's there to envy?

I envy... people with jobs

Are you stuffy in here?

You want to go out for a while?

Ma!

Jong-Du

How do you do?

How do you do

The pastor came to see us,

and he was just leaving

I've heard a lot about you

- You've been through a lot

- Thanks for your concern

He sang in the choir

when he was little

Is that so?

Excuse me, I want to ask a favor

Could you pray for me now?

Come on now, Jong-Du...

Right now?

Yes, sir

Why not? Let's pray together

Gather around

You too, Ma'am

Let's all pray together, holding hands

Our Father in heaven, please

watch over a poor soul...

...who waits upon
