Ode to My Father Page #4

I'm gonna rip

your mouth... damn you!

Cursing in front of the kid.

Old geezer.

All done...

Those migrants

are drinking coffee!

Can you believe it?

That's why their country

stays so poor.

Hey, you!

Don't insult us!

Insult you?

We didn't insult you.

You did!

Nobody gave me this coffee!

I bought it myself!

What's the problem?

Hey, he talks with an accent!

Of course!

I'm a Busan person,

so I speak Busan dialect.

You're no Busan person,

you black bastard!

If you live in Busan,

you're a Busan person!

If you live in Korea,

you're a Korean!

Now you're jabbering nonsense,

you bastard!

Talk trash in your own country!

Let go of him, you punks!

What's it to you if he drinks

coffee or barley water?

Hey, gramps!

What's a low-grade migrant

like him doing in a cafe?

A dirt poor beggar

working in another country!

What?

If you work in another country,

you can't drink coffee?

Don't worry, Seo-yeon.

Your grandfather's

just gone a bit senile.

Soon he'll be painting on the wall.

With his poop.

You bastards!

Penniless bastard!

Trying to sneak into class again!

I'm warning you!

If I catch you here once more,

you're in for it!

You shouldn't throw books.

- You bastard!

- Come on.

It's because of beggars like him

that our country's poor!

Autumn 1963

- Oh, that's heavy.

- Hey, Beggar Boy!

You slacking off again?

How' re your studies?

Studies my ass...

out of the way.

Beggar Boy.

Damn.

What?

Something wrong?

You need cash

if you want to study.

You're earning cash now.

Can't even feed myself.

What do you mean?

My aging mother's out there

selling things on the street,

and Seung-gyu has to be

so damned good at his studies,

the jerk.

If you study well,

you're a jerk?

Crazy bastard just got into

Seoul National University.

Seoul National?

Wow! Wow...

What a jerk.

ls he even human?

Now we have to pay the tuition.

I wish some money

would fall from the sky.

Maybe not the sky...

but I know just the place.

What?

Work in Germany.

Miners needed.Miners?

Squid and peanuts!

Mister, one squid please.

Are you crazy?

Do you even

know where West Germany is?

A miner? Gimme a break.

You can't even shovel.

Duk-soo,

life is all about timing.

There's a time for everything.

You know what I mean?

Let's go for just 3 years.

I'm not going, dammit!

The exam's

right around the corner.

You can take it

when you get back.

Seriously, who in your family

earns money besides you?

How'll you pay

your brother's tuition?

Making fish boxes?

A million of those

won't pay his tuition.

What's there to think about?

The answer's obvious.

No way.

After getting into that school?

Not anyone can

work abroad as a miner.
