I'm at the cinema.

Really?

I'm thinking of going too.

They're showing all hisfilms?

Three shorts and a feature.

it ends tomorrow.

I won't be able to go.

We'll expect you tonight.

I have a lot to do,

but I'll come if I can.

Thanks for calling me.

Are you well?

Me? I'm fine.

Right, I'll be going now.

The hospital and operation costs

have reached one hundred million wons...

Such details are obscene!

What are you doing here?

And you? It's been ages.

You came to see the film,

so did I.

You're looking better, healthier.

Marlboro reds?

Like in the film?

From time to time.

Let me have one.

I've always been tempted.

Did you see the film?

I'd seen it before.

This was the second time.

His films are good.

It's charming...

Are you coming tonight?

I'm not sure.

What should I do?

I'm having lunch

with my wife and children.

Want to come?

- To have lunch?

- Join us, have you eaten?

It's just that...

I have so many people to see.

Let's go.

How many children?

- Two.

- That's good.

You can eat a whole portion?

- Sure! You bet we can!

- Yes, we can.

Two portions of shrimp then.

Two shrimps,

one sweet-and-sour pork,

three noodles.

- What an appetite...

- They love shrimps.

You don't want any noodles?

No. We'll see later.

- Don't smoke.

- I'm not smoking.

You came to see his film.

You were close to him,

weren't you?

At university, yes.

But I'd stopped seeing him.

You have things in common.

Such as?

You act cool,

you love women.

Your film would have been

in the same vein, right? Come on...

in any case, I've never eaten a beef rib

as good as the one at your place.

A beef rib?

- Yes...That was years ago!

- You remember that?

It's kind of you to remember.

it was really good.

The meat melted in your mouth.

Do you remember how many times

you complimented your wife?

Complimented my wife?

You did that?

Six times.

I remember counting.

You complimented her six times.

You remember such odd things!

I'd never heard anyone

make compliments about food.

Mom, I think I have a fever.

I feel cold.

Really? Let me see.

You're hot.

Perhaps It's indigestion.

Do you feel cold?

What's wrong?

She says she feels cold.

Let's go home.

Come here.

There's no need.

She's cold.

Feel better?

Yes.

Thank you. Where are you going?

I'm going home before the meeting.

Want a ride?

I haven't made my mind up yet.

Get in. I'll drop you off somewhere.

- It's at six?

- Yes. Come. They'll all be there.

I like the color of your car..

Get in, It's cold.

Thanks.

- How do you feel?

- it hurts.

We'll soon be home.

Can I smoke?

Wait a bit.

Because of the children.

All right.
