4PM (2024) Movie Script
A philosopher once said,
'Know thyself.'
He probably didn't know
how happy we are
in a state of self-ignorance.
If he knew,
he would have
never said those words.
So ask not who you are,
and don't peer into
your own self-ignorance.
Once you do,
unbearable shame
and misery will smother you.
(FUTURE, PRESENT)
The future comes with hesitation,
the present flies by
like an arrow,
(FUTURE, PRESENT, PAST)
And the past idles forever.
This time today will be
in the past tomorrow,
but if you stay faithful
to the present,
this moment won't be lost
in the past after all.
I wish the best for your present.
That's all for today.
Thank you.
Professor.
Congratulations.
Let's take a picture.
Three, two, one.
Do you regret it?
Of course not.
You worked hard.
From now on,
let's try everything
you ever wanted to do.
In our new house.
- Buckled up?
- Yes.
Watch out!
- Jeez.
- Oh, no.
- You okay?
- My heart is racing.
- Be nice.
- Okay.
Are you alright?
I should've been more careful.
I'm sorry that I startled you.
I think we just brushed
against each other.
Yes, it's only a scratch.
It won't be much of a problem.
But did you get hurt?
I'll take care of myself.
Just forget this
ever happened, okay?
Go now.
Alright.
I'm sorry, sir.
Let's just be glad
that no one got hurt.
That guy,
he was drunk.
Drunk driving in broad daylight?
You should've reported him.
Looked like he's barely
making ends meet.
His license could be revoked.
Jeez.
It's his lucky day.
No one else would
let him off like that.
- Right?
- Of course.
I was worried
you might regret it.
Of course not.
I'm the one who asked.
Actually,
I was surprised you wanted
to buy the house
at first sight.
What did you like
so much about it?
I was more surprised
when you agreed with me.
Because I've never
seen you so determined.
That's true.
Look at all this traffic.
How did we live
in such a cramped city?
Look at the sky.
Wow, the air looks so polluted.
Let's go.
We won't worry about
pollution anymore, right?
You bet.
Honey, look over there.
So pretty!
The air seems so fresh.
Honey, it's So-jung.
Take it.
(Daughter)
So-jung!
How are you?
Didn't expect to see you both.
How are you two?
Congratulations on
your sabbatical year.
Thank you.
We are driving to our new house.
I'm so happy for you.
I'm going to Korea soon.
I'll visit you then.
Really? When?
Weren't you coming next year?
It'll be a quick trip.
Then I have to come back.
Wow, So-jung's coming to see us.
It's great news on our moving day.
Our new house will look great
around the time you visit us.
It has so many maple trees there.
Take care till then,
and see you soon!
I can't wait to see you too.
Stay well till then.
I'll call you once
everything is set.
Goodbye now.
Bye, So-jung.
- Bye!
- See you soon!
I hope to see her soon.
We are here.
Aw, my back.
Wow, look over here.
All my worries will melt away,
seeing this.
Yes, but to live here,
it takes diligent work.
Let's go inside.
I love it.
Honey,
wait for me.
(4PM)
(Based on Amelie Nothomb's novel)
(Directed by Jay Song)
There's a draft coming in
through the frames.
- Honey.
- Huh?
That doctor's house.
The light's still off.
Maybe he's coming home late.
It seemed like the house had
been empty for a while.
We can visit him
after our walk tomorrow.
Would he be home?
What if he's not?
Well, then...
let's write a note
and slip it in his mailbox.
It's not nice to just to show up
and say hello.
It's not polite.
Alright.
We should do something
about this window.
I'm your new next door neighbor.
I'm leaving you a note
since you aren't home.
Please visit our house
at any time,
to have a cup of tea.
Sincerely, Lee Jung-in
- I think it's broken.
- Right.
Maybe he left early.
- I don't think he's home.
- Yeah.
We should've come earlier.
It's perfect. Try it.
It smells fantastic.
This is the tea that
So-jung sent you, right?
Yes.
Shall we get ready now?
Shall we?
Who is it?
How may I help you?
I'm from next door.
Are you the doctor?
Yes.
Glad to see you.
Come inside.
Honey.
It's the doctor from next door.
Hello, it's so nice
to finally meet you.
Thank you for paying us a visit.
- Can we get tea?
- Sure.
Doctor.
Please take a seat.
It's a cozy and beautiful place.
I'm talking about...
your town, where we'll
now be living in also.
How long have you lived here?
It's been 20 years.
20 years.
You've lived
in such a nice place for so long.
I truly envy you.
I heard from the realtor
that you only take house calls.
Are you the only doctor
in this town?
Yes.
We are so lucky
to have a doctor living next door.
Is it okay if we visit you
when we get sick?
Yes.
Sorry it took long.
Here's some herbal tea.
I would blame the mountains,
but it gets a lot colder at night.
We're already burning
firewood at night.
We are.
Should I bring some fruit?
- Yes, bring some.
- Okay.
I'll get some fruit for you.
Honey, why don't you
bring us some rice cakes?
They went bad.
Throughout my entire life,
I've never had to sit down
with a stranger
and share such a suffocating,
prolonged silence.
That was my first
encounter with him
and his first visit.
The restroom is
by the staircase...
Sir?
Are you leaving?
Well, goodbye then.
Goodbye.
Goodness...
What is with him?
I'm exhausted.
Honey.
I've never seen
anyone that reserved.
I think he just couldn't
ignore our note.
He must've been uncomfortable too.
I know.
Feeling obliged to stay,
he had this sullen face
the whole time.
I almost told him
he could leave.
You seemed nervous, too.
Of course,
it was unbearably awkward.
Anyway,
now that he's done his part,
he won't come anymore.
Let's make occasional visits,
and befriend him little by little.
Jeez.
Looking on the bright side,
at least he's not a nuisance
who would annoy us every day.
- That would be terrible.
- I know!
Seriously,
he sure made me dumbfounded.
The air quality is bad today.
We should eat inside.
Come on.
Why live here then?
Enjoy the river breeze.
The trees will keep the dust away.
Don't worry.
I always dreamed
about enjoying noodles outdoors.
Why did you buy
so much firewood?
Barbecues.
Campfires.
I thought you and So-jung
wanted to do them.
Right, we said that.
Eat up before
the noodles get soggy.
Who's that?
Wasn't expecting anyone.
Who is it?
Doctor.
What brings you here?
Please, come inside.
Hello.
As you can see, we spend time
drinking tea and meditating.
Did you come
to say something to me?
Honey, I'll bring some tea.
No.
Then, I guess you're
just visiting us.
I'm glad you came.
Is your wife doing well?
Yes.
And she's in good health?
Yes.
Last summer, did it rain a lot?
Yes.
While taking a walk,
I saw that
the stream was quite wide.
Does it overflow
during the rainy season?
Sometimes.
Does it take long to restore?
No.
So it gets restored right away?
Yes.
I'll leave you two to talk.
Is it hot during summer?
Yes.
There was no AC unit
outside your house.
Don't you need one?
No.
Then,
you cool the house
with a fan or a breeze...
I suppose?
Yes.
Are you fine with that?
Yes.
Is there anything you
want to know about us?
No.
At that moment,
I wanted to break his pattern
of blunt answers
to suddenly throw him off balance.
How do you spend your day?
I'm really curious about
how you spend your day.
Forgive me.
I was rude.
It's not right to ask about
someone else's daily life.
What did you specialize in?
I'm a cardiologist.
It must've been very tough.
I admire you.
I felt terribly uncomfortable,
but I did my best
to offer my hospitality,
for he was still my guest.
Do you have a landline at home?
Yes.
What about a radio or TV?
No.
We don't either.
We can live just fine
without them.
Don't you think?
Yes.
Do you read a lot of books?
No.
My name is Lee Jung-in.
My wife is Kim Hyun-sook.
Okay.
I am Lee Jung-in.
I said okay already.
And what is your name?
I'm Park Yook-nam.
Park Yook-nam...
What's his story?
It was so suffocating.
But why did he come?
Why do you think?
Some people think
it's impolite to visit only once.
Yet he came empty-handed.
I don't mind that,
but I hope he never comes again.
He won't, right?
He won't.
Think about it!
He just came
and sat down for nothing.
Why would he want to come again?
Oh, please...
I really hope he won't come.
(Cardiologist Park Yook-nam)
So chilly.
You might catch a cold
sleeping here.
Get up.
Okay.
I came down
because I had an idea
but I fell asleep.
You're too old for that.
Wash up for breakfast.
Honey.
Why don't we get some air
and go to town
to buy some plants and saplings?
Let's do that.
I heard there are
many tree farms around here.
Let's do the dishes later.
(Flowers)
Be careful with the thorns.
Isn't it unique?
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Didn't think they'd fit.
Open up.
Come on.
- Good?
- Yes.
I feel like this is
making me healthy.
Let's come out more often.
I love it here.
It's so nice.
He won't come, right?
Never.
Don't worry.
Honey, no.
Put it here.
My back!
No!
This morning,
we bought some plants
at a flower market.
We didn't know
we'd buy this much...
Doctor, what do you think
about keeping plants in the house?
It's good.
In what way?
I should've yelled at him then.
I should've told him
to stop visiting our house.
But I knew I couldn't.
Because I wasn't
that kind of person.
Because I am defined
by my kindness to others,
as an educated man.
He'd visited us only three times.
Kicking him out for being silent
seemed heartless and irrational.
Plus,
this could really be
his final visit.
Why?
What do we do if he comes again?
I'm...
I'm going to lose my mind.
And why is he always on time?
Honey,
tomorrow...
Let's just leave at 3:50.
What the...
Hurry, Hurry.
I told you we should leave early.
Let's Hurry.
Be careful.
We've come pretty far.
I feel refreshed.
I'm glad we came.
Aren't you?
There is something over there.
Let's go inside.
Are you cold?
- Why shiver so much?
- No, I'm fine.
It stopped.
Let's go now.
Let's go back after six.
Jeez, what are we doing right now?
But still, I feel at peace
not seeing his face today.
You think he came today too?
You bet.
Maybe he didn't
because of the rain.
How long was he waiting here?
He probably got soaked.
Was he dying to catch a cold?
My gosh.
Look,
this guy turned our porch
into a pigsty.
Honey, let's clean this.
It gives me the creeps.
- Okay.
- I'm so scared.
Your coughing is getting worse.
Thanks.
What time is it?
It's still early.
We got hours till the afternoon.
You know, I've been thinking.
Can we just not answer the door?
It's not like
we're breaking the law.
Do you think we can do that?
Why not?
Honey,
can you be that rude?
Do you really have the guts?
But he's the rude one.
Or should I say, insensitive?
Yeah, I think he's slow.
Being old and everything.
We can be just like him then.
Think about it.
If you're here upstairs,
it's perfectly normal
not to hear him knock.
At your age.
Why would I be here though?
Because I'm sick in bed.
You're busy nursing me.
That's normal.
Honey,
I know you're an honorable man
who hates lying.
I admire you for that.
But this is for us.
To protect ourselves
from that lunatic.
Don't call him that.
I got you. Okay.
- I hear nothing.
- Come on.
- I won't hear it.
- Honey.
- I will not hear anything today.
- Relax.
You do it too.
Please grant us
a peaceful afternoon.
Please.
I won't hear anything.
And I won't give in today.
You too.
Hey.
He'll probably think
we can't hear him.
Just ignore it.
You can't hear it right now.
But clearly I can.
You're killing me!
Okay, you're sleeping then.
At this hour?
Yeah, you fell asleep
while nursing your sick wife.
He'll go away.
We hear nothing at all.
He'll leave.
Listen.
Our door won't break, right?
That man is absolutely crazy.
I'm so scared.
No!
Please, honey.
Don't go down!
I didn't hear you knock.
I knew you were inside.
The ground was wet,
yet it had no footsteps!
You were out yesterday.
That's right.
The weather was nice,
so we went out for a walk.
But still, you can't bang on
our door like that.
I understand,
but my wife was startled.
In fact, she caught a cold
while being outside yesterday.
She's coughing too.
So...
Want me to leave?
No.
She just needs a rest.
Excuse me, but I must go
look after my wife.
So...
You can't even offer me
a cup of tea?
Tea, sir?
I don't have the time
for that right now.
If you really insist,
perhaps I can make your tea
when I make some for my wife.
So, that means yes!
I guess.
Here, drink this.
Why was he banging on our door?
I don't think he's dangerous.
We should take pity on him.
But you called him crazy earlier.
How can we have pity
when he's breaking down our door?
He's a guy with no manners.
Fine, then we can throw away
our manners too.
Honey,
please don't go down.
Thinking of you
facing him all alone
gave me a terrible fright.
Lower your voice.
Why? Am I wrong?
Quiet.
What brings you here?
Say 'Aah.'
You're not sick at all.
But I've been coughing a lot.
Give her some lemon water.
She's not sick.
I see. Thank you.
Anyone can say that.
Now, if you'll excuse us,
this is our bedroom.
If I have to leave,
so should you.
I can't leave my wife by herself.
She's not sick at all.
But she's weak like all of us
are at our age.
She's not sick!
At that moment,
I couldn't stop loathing myself
for obediently following
him downstairs.
My tea's gone cold.
Warm it up for me.
Alright.
He come tomorrow too?
Most certainly.
And you'll say
the same things to him?
That man is like...
a giant wall.
What can I say to a wall?
Doctor, you're here.
It's 4 p.m., of course you are.
Come in.
Doctor.
What are your thoughts...
on Chinese taxonomy?
Earlier, I was reading
this book on taxonomy,
and it wasn't that removed
from medical science either.
It seems Borges,
as a semiologist,
played an enormous role
in the field of taxonomy.
Anyway,
the book's called
Celestial Emporium
of Benevolent Knowledge,
and I was laughing so hard
reading it.
It brings the problems of
classification into sharp focus.
And I say, it's impossible
to read Aristotle
without first studying
these problems.
So, are you trying to talk
about Aristotle now?
Well, you could say that.
Doctor,
what are your thoughts
on Aristotle?
I'm sure you know this.
Can you describe Aristotle's role
in the history of medical science?
Oh, he doesn't know.
That's understandable.
In that case...
It's 4 p.m. soon.
Here it is.
This book divides birds
into 99 different passerines,
and 74 non-passerines.
But it's hardly fair
to describe a being
by the characteristics it lacks.
Could we explain things
by what they are not?
No.
Why not?
Is she ill?
No.
Then why?
Perhaps they don't get along.
We get along just fine.
Then, there's nothing
to worry about.
We can all be friends,
drinking tea and
having dinner together.
My wife would be delighted
to have a friend.
Yes, I'm so curious to meet her.
I bet she's a kind, lovely person.
Bring her with you tomorrow.
I'm asking you, please.
She's lovely...
and kind.
Then tomorrow,
instead of having tea,
the four of us can have dinner.
So instead of 4 p.m.,
we could meet...
at about 7 p.m.?
Please come then.
We must prepare the food,
and go to town for shopping.
Are you leaving?
It's only 5:30.
Please bring her too!
I wonder if they are okay
with western dishes.
Honey,
don't forget our objective here.
Are we really trying to befriend
that grump and his wife?
No, we're not.
We're showing them with our food
that we're different
kinds of people.
Hurry.
And what if his wife is...
a nice, educated person
and good company?
- If she's good company?
- Yeah.
Then we're in deep trouble.
They will come and go,
making our house a village hall.
Let's go.
How strange.
How does it feel?
Watching 4 p.m. pass by
without our intruder?
It feels like a dream
being all by ourselves.
Please...
let there be many more
afternoons like this.
I'm sure there will be.
You said that yourself,
this house will
bring us good luck.
I'm getting choked up.
You're right on time.
Come in.
Good evening.
Where's your wife?
Good evening.
I've wanted to meet you
for so long.
Yes, it's that way.
Thank you for coming, madam.
Enough with that word 'madam.'
How may I address her then?
Just...
call her Sera.
What does it mean?
It's her name.
Wow, what an elegant name.
That's beautiful.
Bring us the food now.
Oh, what am I doing?
I'll bring it right away.
Your children,
are they in Seoul?
No children!
We don't have any either.
But I have a student,
who's like a daughter to us.
She's studying in Canada...
Madam, are you alright?
Stay awake.
Food is coming.
Let us pray.
Father, bless us
and this daily bread,
and forgive us our debts
as we forgive our debtors.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
Excuse me, it'll stop soon.
Here.
May I ask what you usually
have for meals?
We eat rice.
Everyone eats rice,
but don't you have
other favorites?
Just rice.
You don't enjoy
western dishes then?
We are right now.
Why don't we...
pour her some wine?
- Can I?
- No, you can't!
I'm sure a glass of wine is...
I said no!
Then, enjoy the beverage.
I'll get the dessert.
Here you go.
This is enough.
- More.
- No.
You can't have more!
No more!
How many times do I...
Doctor!
Please.
Please stop, okay?
We don't mind it at all.
Just let her eat as she wishes.
Baking a cake is pretty hard,
but making syrup isn't.
We have plenty still,
so I can make more anytime.
Go ahead, it's fine.
Madam,
you might get sick
from having too much dessert.
If you're still hungry...
What else do we have?
Don't give her any more food!
No!
No!
No, no, stop!
No!
Our revenge was successful,
in the most childish way.
Hold on, I'll get it.
No, I'll go with you.
It could be the doctor.
How does he have our number?
Don't answer, honey!
Don't answer it!
Hello?
So-jung! It's you.
Sure.
How are you, my dear?
No, no.
We were just meditating.
Hi, So-jung!
- My cell?
- So-jung.
Was it turned off?
I don't use it much here.
- So-jung!
- She's right here. Hold on.
Hi, So-jung!
Yeah.
Really?
I'll come pick you up.
Why?
At 3 p.m.?
I'll send you the address.
We'll finally see you.
You have to sleep over, okay?
Promise!
Be safe and see you tomorrow!
Alright, So-jung.
All right!
Honey, So-jung is coming.
At 3 p.m.?
The doctor will be here
an hour after.
Mrs. Lee!
So-jung!
How are you?
You're finally here!
- Have you been well?
- Yes.
- I missed you so much.
- Me too.
Where is Professor Lee?
He'll be here soon.
Come in.
You must be tired.
- Yeah, honey.
- Where are you?
Looks like no one's home.
So I'm waiting outside.
So-jung is dying to see you.
Really? What should I do?
His car's not here.
He must've gone to town.
That's possible.
Maybe his wife is unwell.
What should we do?
It's almost 4 p.m..
You're right.
He must've taken his wife
to the hospital in town.
Alright, I'm on my way.
Let's eat out today.
I made a reservation
at a famous restaurant nearby.
You didn't need to do that.
For you, of course I do.
Wait, hold on!
Sure, tell me everything.
I'll get that.
Can I help you?
Let me in.
Honey, what were you doing?
Hello.
So-jung.
- Oh, Professor!
- Hello, So-jung.
Even prettier than before.
You have a guest.
Yes, I know.
Can we talk outside?
We can talk here.
Sir, please.
I'm tired.
How's living in Canada?
It's alright.
But Professor,
if you need to,
I can leave you to talk.
No, there's no need.
I feel like I'm in the way.
No, really.
It's nothing like that.
I could almost hear her wondering
why the doctor wasn't leaving.
I also felt her disappointment.
But it was only 4:30.
That doctor wasn't going to leave
our house until 6 p.m..
You must be good at English now.
Yes, a little bit.
You're now taking
Social Contract Theory, right?
Yes.
Do you learn about
Hobbes or Rousseau first?
Hobbes, like here.
I see.
Now, So-jung didn't hide
her disappointment,
especially toward
my inability to deal
with an uninvited guest.
- Professor.
- Yeah.
I'll get going now.
No, stay for dinner.
I want to hear about Canada
and have so much to ask you.
Please, sit.
It's alright.
I'll come back later
if I have time.
Have a great time
with your friend.
Doctor, you must be
a special guest to these folks.
No, So-jung.
So-jung.
So-jung, wait.
You can't just leave like this...
So-jung spat out those rude words,
showing her bitterness
and disapproval.
For the first time in 7 years,
she spoke with spite,
giving us her last farewell.
When you get to our age,
you can't handle the loneliness.
So, the way he sees it,
he'd rather be a bother
than feel like he's being
tossed away by others.
Are you listening?
So polite and courteous.
What a saint.
That's all you can say right now?
Let's be honest.
I'm so sick of this.
Do you think So-jung
will ever come back?
No.
She won't.
We're both pathetic losers
who can't hold onto
what's dear to us.
It's because we're old.
No, it's because we're cowards!
Stop making excuses.
I'm hanging up.
Are you not going to talk to me?
Get lost!
You hear?
Get lost!
Seriously?
Get out of our yard!
Honey!
Stop that!
Are you crazy?
What's wrong with you?
Honey, stop.
Sir?
Don't help him!
Honey!
I'm sorry.
Hurry and help him up!
Are you alright?
I'm so sorry.
How easy was that?
- Honey.
- Go call So-jung.
Let's explain everything,
and tell her
how I took care of things.
Alright, just calm down.
You're losing it.
This isn't like you.
Whatever happens,
you can't use violence.
Sometimes, violence is the answer.
No, it isn't!
What's right or wrong
is not important.
What's important is...
the result.
The outcome!
Just watch.
He'll never show up again.
Now we're free!
After that, he stopped coming.
But strangely enough,
as it got closer to 4 p.m.,
I was still tormented by
all sorts of symptoms.
I was sweating,
I couldn't breathe,
and suffered from insomnia.
I hated him all the more,
enough to want to kill him.
But that very night...
That crazy prick!
What's he doing now?
He was surely miserable
because of his wife.
I could understand how such misery
might drive him to suicide.
So much that as I gazed at
his pathetic, miserable body,
I felt not a grain of sympathy.
So much that the urge came
to drag him back to the garage
and let him breathe in
that fatal gas.
Then, he'd never come back
to our home.
That way, we'd have
our 4 p.m. to ourselves.
The temptation lingered,
and I hesitated all the more.
Suicide?
Poor guy...
I bet he was suffering.
Don't feel bad.
I regret saving the man.
You shouldn't say that.
I still saved him. Didn't I?
But honey,
what about his wife, Sera?
The doctor was her only guardian.
Did he plan to die
and leave her all alone?
Or did he try to kill her too?
That prick.
The place was a living hell.
He had tried to escape this hell,
but I was the one
who stopped him.
He was only struggling to
keep his dignity as a human,
but my petty conscience
got in the way.
Sure enough,
I should have let him die.
I'm sorry.
I fell asleep while waiting
for you to wake up.
Something happened
to your husband.
Unfortunately,
he tried to commit suicide.
But I stopped him.
He was taken to the hospital,
and he will be fine.
I saw it clearly.
Her face lighting up
when I spoke of his suicide,
and her look of despair
when I said he survived.
The clear air was a shock
when I left that hellhole.
The air shone even brighter
than the sunlight.
Having escaped that vile place,
it felt good to be alive.
Perhaps, life is indeed beautiful.
(Hospital)
Why did you do that?
Do you want the windows down?
Didn't you want to kill me?
You were tempted.
That's absurd.
Didn't you want to kill yourself?
Your dreams will be shattered now.
What dreams?
Peace.
You'll shatter our peace?
Why are you doing this to us?
Alright.
Then...
tell me what you're
going to do to us.
What are you gonna do, you jerk?
I'm a doctor.
I know lots of ways,
many ways to kill people!
Kill?
You're insane.
You tried to kill me!
I don't know why you think that...
Do you resent me?
Because I stopped your plan
and saved you?
What are you doing?
Let go!
Are you insane?
Yeah.
I want to kill you.
I want to rip you apart
and kill you.
Listen up.
If you visit us again,
I will really kill you.
Thanks,
I'll be there.
You son of a gun!
Let me ask you.
Before we moved here,
what did you do at that time?
Do you find
those changing leaves beautiful?
Don't you feel bad for your wife?
Probably not.
Those who see no beauty,
people who feel
no compassion or love
deserve to die.
You should've just died then.
You want to kill me that bad?
You've got it all wrong.
They say
if you fail in suicide once,
it's hard to try again.
There's a phrase,
'I'll die the way I've lived.'
Didn't you try
suffocating yourself
because you found
life suffocating?
Don't give up on suicide
if you're set on it.
I beg of you.
You have to take on
your pain yourself.
Mark my words.
I don't make empty promises.
- Honey.
- Yeah?
What's wrong with you today?
The doctor.
He might die soon.
He's going to.
What?
I told you.
Humans repeat their actions.
Even suicide.
There's no exception.
He's going to kill himself?
Maybe.
Oh, please.
To hell with him!
Let me tell you.
I'm not a pushover
who is scared of
your petty threats.
This here is my weapon.
You know how scary this is?
Good luck living
with that pain of yours.
Yes.
No.
Say it.
Die, jerk.
Just die, you prick!
You've stayed so strong
despite this tragic loss.
It's respectable.
Must get lonely though.
If you ever need help,
please let us know anytime.
How happy are we
in a state of self-ignorance!
So ask not who you are,
and don't peer into
your own self-ignorance.
Once you do,
unbearable shame
and misery will smother you.
(Oh Dal-su)
(Jang Young Nam)
(Kim Hong Pa)
(Gong Jae-kyung)
'Know thyself.'
He probably didn't know
how happy we are
in a state of self-ignorance.
If he knew,
he would have
never said those words.
So ask not who you are,
and don't peer into
your own self-ignorance.
Once you do,
unbearable shame
and misery will smother you.
(FUTURE, PRESENT)
The future comes with hesitation,
the present flies by
like an arrow,
(FUTURE, PRESENT, PAST)
And the past idles forever.
This time today will be
in the past tomorrow,
but if you stay faithful
to the present,
this moment won't be lost
in the past after all.
I wish the best for your present.
That's all for today.
Thank you.
Professor.
Congratulations.
Let's take a picture.
Three, two, one.
Do you regret it?
Of course not.
You worked hard.
From now on,
let's try everything
you ever wanted to do.
In our new house.
- Buckled up?
- Yes.
Watch out!
- Jeez.
- Oh, no.
- You okay?
- My heart is racing.
- Be nice.
- Okay.
Are you alright?
I should've been more careful.
I'm sorry that I startled you.
I think we just brushed
against each other.
Yes, it's only a scratch.
It won't be much of a problem.
But did you get hurt?
I'll take care of myself.
Just forget this
ever happened, okay?
Go now.
Alright.
I'm sorry, sir.
Let's just be glad
that no one got hurt.
That guy,
he was drunk.
Drunk driving in broad daylight?
You should've reported him.
Looked like he's barely
making ends meet.
His license could be revoked.
Jeez.
It's his lucky day.
No one else would
let him off like that.
- Right?
- Of course.
I was worried
you might regret it.
Of course not.
I'm the one who asked.
Actually,
I was surprised you wanted
to buy the house
at first sight.
What did you like
so much about it?
I was more surprised
when you agreed with me.
Because I've never
seen you so determined.
That's true.
Look at all this traffic.
How did we live
in such a cramped city?
Look at the sky.
Wow, the air looks so polluted.
Let's go.
We won't worry about
pollution anymore, right?
You bet.
Honey, look over there.
So pretty!
The air seems so fresh.
Honey, it's So-jung.
Take it.
(Daughter)
So-jung!
How are you?
Didn't expect to see you both.
How are you two?
Congratulations on
your sabbatical year.
Thank you.
We are driving to our new house.
I'm so happy for you.
I'm going to Korea soon.
I'll visit you then.
Really? When?
Weren't you coming next year?
It'll be a quick trip.
Then I have to come back.
Wow, So-jung's coming to see us.
It's great news on our moving day.
Our new house will look great
around the time you visit us.
It has so many maple trees there.
Take care till then,
and see you soon!
I can't wait to see you too.
Stay well till then.
I'll call you once
everything is set.
Goodbye now.
Bye, So-jung.
- Bye!
- See you soon!
I hope to see her soon.
We are here.
Aw, my back.
Wow, look over here.
All my worries will melt away,
seeing this.
Yes, but to live here,
it takes diligent work.
Let's go inside.
I love it.
Honey,
wait for me.
(4PM)
(Based on Amelie Nothomb's novel)
(Directed by Jay Song)
There's a draft coming in
through the frames.
- Honey.
- Huh?
That doctor's house.
The light's still off.
Maybe he's coming home late.
It seemed like the house had
been empty for a while.
We can visit him
after our walk tomorrow.
Would he be home?
What if he's not?
Well, then...
let's write a note
and slip it in his mailbox.
It's not nice to just to show up
and say hello.
It's not polite.
Alright.
We should do something
about this window.
I'm your new next door neighbor.
I'm leaving you a note
since you aren't home.
Please visit our house
at any time,
to have a cup of tea.
Sincerely, Lee Jung-in
- I think it's broken.
- Right.
Maybe he left early.
- I don't think he's home.
- Yeah.
We should've come earlier.
It's perfect. Try it.
It smells fantastic.
This is the tea that
So-jung sent you, right?
Yes.
Shall we get ready now?
Shall we?
Who is it?
How may I help you?
I'm from next door.
Are you the doctor?
Yes.
Glad to see you.
Come inside.
Honey.
It's the doctor from next door.
Hello, it's so nice
to finally meet you.
Thank you for paying us a visit.
- Can we get tea?
- Sure.
Doctor.
Please take a seat.
It's a cozy and beautiful place.
I'm talking about...
your town, where we'll
now be living in also.
How long have you lived here?
It's been 20 years.
20 years.
You've lived
in such a nice place for so long.
I truly envy you.
I heard from the realtor
that you only take house calls.
Are you the only doctor
in this town?
Yes.
We are so lucky
to have a doctor living next door.
Is it okay if we visit you
when we get sick?
Yes.
Sorry it took long.
Here's some herbal tea.
I would blame the mountains,
but it gets a lot colder at night.
We're already burning
firewood at night.
We are.
Should I bring some fruit?
- Yes, bring some.
- Okay.
I'll get some fruit for you.
Honey, why don't you
bring us some rice cakes?
They went bad.
Throughout my entire life,
I've never had to sit down
with a stranger
and share such a suffocating,
prolonged silence.
That was my first
encounter with him
and his first visit.
The restroom is
by the staircase...
Sir?
Are you leaving?
Well, goodbye then.
Goodbye.
Goodness...
What is with him?
I'm exhausted.
Honey.
I've never seen
anyone that reserved.
I think he just couldn't
ignore our note.
He must've been uncomfortable too.
I know.
Feeling obliged to stay,
he had this sullen face
the whole time.
I almost told him
he could leave.
You seemed nervous, too.
Of course,
it was unbearably awkward.
Anyway,
now that he's done his part,
he won't come anymore.
Let's make occasional visits,
and befriend him little by little.
Jeez.
Looking on the bright side,
at least he's not a nuisance
who would annoy us every day.
- That would be terrible.
- I know!
Seriously,
he sure made me dumbfounded.
The air quality is bad today.
We should eat inside.
Come on.
Why live here then?
Enjoy the river breeze.
The trees will keep the dust away.
Don't worry.
I always dreamed
about enjoying noodles outdoors.
Why did you buy
so much firewood?
Barbecues.
Campfires.
I thought you and So-jung
wanted to do them.
Right, we said that.
Eat up before
the noodles get soggy.
Who's that?
Wasn't expecting anyone.
Who is it?
Doctor.
What brings you here?
Please, come inside.
Hello.
As you can see, we spend time
drinking tea and meditating.
Did you come
to say something to me?
Honey, I'll bring some tea.
No.
Then, I guess you're
just visiting us.
I'm glad you came.
Is your wife doing well?
Yes.
And she's in good health?
Yes.
Last summer, did it rain a lot?
Yes.
While taking a walk,
I saw that
the stream was quite wide.
Does it overflow
during the rainy season?
Sometimes.
Does it take long to restore?
No.
So it gets restored right away?
Yes.
I'll leave you two to talk.
Is it hot during summer?
Yes.
There was no AC unit
outside your house.
Don't you need one?
No.
Then,
you cool the house
with a fan or a breeze...
I suppose?
Yes.
Are you fine with that?
Yes.
Is there anything you
want to know about us?
No.
At that moment,
I wanted to break his pattern
of blunt answers
to suddenly throw him off balance.
How do you spend your day?
I'm really curious about
how you spend your day.
Forgive me.
I was rude.
It's not right to ask about
someone else's daily life.
What did you specialize in?
I'm a cardiologist.
It must've been very tough.
I admire you.
I felt terribly uncomfortable,
but I did my best
to offer my hospitality,
for he was still my guest.
Do you have a landline at home?
Yes.
What about a radio or TV?
No.
We don't either.
We can live just fine
without them.
Don't you think?
Yes.
Do you read a lot of books?
No.
My name is Lee Jung-in.
My wife is Kim Hyun-sook.
Okay.
I am Lee Jung-in.
I said okay already.
And what is your name?
I'm Park Yook-nam.
Park Yook-nam...
What's his story?
It was so suffocating.
But why did he come?
Why do you think?
Some people think
it's impolite to visit only once.
Yet he came empty-handed.
I don't mind that,
but I hope he never comes again.
He won't, right?
He won't.
Think about it!
He just came
and sat down for nothing.
Why would he want to come again?
Oh, please...
I really hope he won't come.
(Cardiologist Park Yook-nam)
So chilly.
You might catch a cold
sleeping here.
Get up.
Okay.
I came down
because I had an idea
but I fell asleep.
You're too old for that.
Wash up for breakfast.
Honey.
Why don't we get some air
and go to town
to buy some plants and saplings?
Let's do that.
I heard there are
many tree farms around here.
Let's do the dishes later.
(Flowers)
Be careful with the thorns.
Isn't it unique?
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Didn't think they'd fit.
Open up.
Come on.
- Good?
- Yes.
I feel like this is
making me healthy.
Let's come out more often.
I love it here.
It's so nice.
He won't come, right?
Never.
Don't worry.
Honey, no.
Put it here.
My back!
No!
This morning,
we bought some plants
at a flower market.
We didn't know
we'd buy this much...
Doctor, what do you think
about keeping plants in the house?
It's good.
In what way?
I should've yelled at him then.
I should've told him
to stop visiting our house.
But I knew I couldn't.
Because I wasn't
that kind of person.
Because I am defined
by my kindness to others,
as an educated man.
He'd visited us only three times.
Kicking him out for being silent
seemed heartless and irrational.
Plus,
this could really be
his final visit.
Why?
What do we do if he comes again?
I'm...
I'm going to lose my mind.
And why is he always on time?
Honey,
tomorrow...
Let's just leave at 3:50.
What the...
Hurry, Hurry.
I told you we should leave early.
Let's Hurry.
Be careful.
We've come pretty far.
I feel refreshed.
I'm glad we came.
Aren't you?
There is something over there.
Let's go inside.
Are you cold?
- Why shiver so much?
- No, I'm fine.
It stopped.
Let's go now.
Let's go back after six.
Jeez, what are we doing right now?
But still, I feel at peace
not seeing his face today.
You think he came today too?
You bet.
Maybe he didn't
because of the rain.
How long was he waiting here?
He probably got soaked.
Was he dying to catch a cold?
My gosh.
Look,
this guy turned our porch
into a pigsty.
Honey, let's clean this.
It gives me the creeps.
- Okay.
- I'm so scared.
Your coughing is getting worse.
Thanks.
What time is it?
It's still early.
We got hours till the afternoon.
You know, I've been thinking.
Can we just not answer the door?
It's not like
we're breaking the law.
Do you think we can do that?
Why not?
Honey,
can you be that rude?
Do you really have the guts?
But he's the rude one.
Or should I say, insensitive?
Yeah, I think he's slow.
Being old and everything.
We can be just like him then.
Think about it.
If you're here upstairs,
it's perfectly normal
not to hear him knock.
At your age.
Why would I be here though?
Because I'm sick in bed.
You're busy nursing me.
That's normal.
Honey,
I know you're an honorable man
who hates lying.
I admire you for that.
But this is for us.
To protect ourselves
from that lunatic.
Don't call him that.
I got you. Okay.
- I hear nothing.
- Come on.
- I won't hear it.
- Honey.
- I will not hear anything today.
- Relax.
You do it too.
Please grant us
a peaceful afternoon.
Please.
I won't hear anything.
And I won't give in today.
You too.
Hey.
He'll probably think
we can't hear him.
Just ignore it.
You can't hear it right now.
But clearly I can.
You're killing me!
Okay, you're sleeping then.
At this hour?
Yeah, you fell asleep
while nursing your sick wife.
He'll go away.
We hear nothing at all.
He'll leave.
Listen.
Our door won't break, right?
That man is absolutely crazy.
I'm so scared.
No!
Please, honey.
Don't go down!
I didn't hear you knock.
I knew you were inside.
The ground was wet,
yet it had no footsteps!
You were out yesterday.
That's right.
The weather was nice,
so we went out for a walk.
But still, you can't bang on
our door like that.
I understand,
but my wife was startled.
In fact, she caught a cold
while being outside yesterday.
She's coughing too.
So...
Want me to leave?
No.
She just needs a rest.
Excuse me, but I must go
look after my wife.
So...
You can't even offer me
a cup of tea?
Tea, sir?
I don't have the time
for that right now.
If you really insist,
perhaps I can make your tea
when I make some for my wife.
So, that means yes!
I guess.
Here, drink this.
Why was he banging on our door?
I don't think he's dangerous.
We should take pity on him.
But you called him crazy earlier.
How can we have pity
when he's breaking down our door?
He's a guy with no manners.
Fine, then we can throw away
our manners too.
Honey,
please don't go down.
Thinking of you
facing him all alone
gave me a terrible fright.
Lower your voice.
Why? Am I wrong?
Quiet.
What brings you here?
Say 'Aah.'
You're not sick at all.
But I've been coughing a lot.
Give her some lemon water.
She's not sick.
I see. Thank you.
Anyone can say that.
Now, if you'll excuse us,
this is our bedroom.
If I have to leave,
so should you.
I can't leave my wife by herself.
She's not sick at all.
But she's weak like all of us
are at our age.
She's not sick!
At that moment,
I couldn't stop loathing myself
for obediently following
him downstairs.
My tea's gone cold.
Warm it up for me.
Alright.
He come tomorrow too?
Most certainly.
And you'll say
the same things to him?
That man is like...
a giant wall.
What can I say to a wall?
Doctor, you're here.
It's 4 p.m., of course you are.
Come in.
Doctor.
What are your thoughts...
on Chinese taxonomy?
Earlier, I was reading
this book on taxonomy,
and it wasn't that removed
from medical science either.
It seems Borges,
as a semiologist,
played an enormous role
in the field of taxonomy.
Anyway,
the book's called
Celestial Emporium
of Benevolent Knowledge,
and I was laughing so hard
reading it.
It brings the problems of
classification into sharp focus.
And I say, it's impossible
to read Aristotle
without first studying
these problems.
So, are you trying to talk
about Aristotle now?
Well, you could say that.
Doctor,
what are your thoughts
on Aristotle?
I'm sure you know this.
Can you describe Aristotle's role
in the history of medical science?
Oh, he doesn't know.
That's understandable.
In that case...
It's 4 p.m. soon.
Here it is.
This book divides birds
into 99 different passerines,
and 74 non-passerines.
But it's hardly fair
to describe a being
by the characteristics it lacks.
Could we explain things
by what they are not?
No.
Why not?
Is she ill?
No.
Then why?
Perhaps they don't get along.
We get along just fine.
Then, there's nothing
to worry about.
We can all be friends,
drinking tea and
having dinner together.
My wife would be delighted
to have a friend.
Yes, I'm so curious to meet her.
I bet she's a kind, lovely person.
Bring her with you tomorrow.
I'm asking you, please.
She's lovely...
and kind.
Then tomorrow,
instead of having tea,
the four of us can have dinner.
So instead of 4 p.m.,
we could meet...
at about 7 p.m.?
Please come then.
We must prepare the food,
and go to town for shopping.
Are you leaving?
It's only 5:30.
Please bring her too!
I wonder if they are okay
with western dishes.
Honey,
don't forget our objective here.
Are we really trying to befriend
that grump and his wife?
No, we're not.
We're showing them with our food
that we're different
kinds of people.
Hurry.
And what if his wife is...
a nice, educated person
and good company?
- If she's good company?
- Yeah.
Then we're in deep trouble.
They will come and go,
making our house a village hall.
Let's go.
How strange.
How does it feel?
Watching 4 p.m. pass by
without our intruder?
It feels like a dream
being all by ourselves.
Please...
let there be many more
afternoons like this.
I'm sure there will be.
You said that yourself,
this house will
bring us good luck.
I'm getting choked up.
You're right on time.
Come in.
Good evening.
Where's your wife?
Good evening.
I've wanted to meet you
for so long.
Yes, it's that way.
Thank you for coming, madam.
Enough with that word 'madam.'
How may I address her then?
Just...
call her Sera.
What does it mean?
It's her name.
Wow, what an elegant name.
That's beautiful.
Bring us the food now.
Oh, what am I doing?
I'll bring it right away.
Your children,
are they in Seoul?
No children!
We don't have any either.
But I have a student,
who's like a daughter to us.
She's studying in Canada...
Madam, are you alright?
Stay awake.
Food is coming.
Let us pray.
Father, bless us
and this daily bread,
and forgive us our debts
as we forgive our debtors.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
Excuse me, it'll stop soon.
Here.
May I ask what you usually
have for meals?
We eat rice.
Everyone eats rice,
but don't you have
other favorites?
Just rice.
You don't enjoy
western dishes then?
We are right now.
Why don't we...
pour her some wine?
- Can I?
- No, you can't!
I'm sure a glass of wine is...
I said no!
Then, enjoy the beverage.
I'll get the dessert.
Here you go.
This is enough.
- More.
- No.
You can't have more!
No more!
How many times do I...
Doctor!
Please.
Please stop, okay?
We don't mind it at all.
Just let her eat as she wishes.
Baking a cake is pretty hard,
but making syrup isn't.
We have plenty still,
so I can make more anytime.
Go ahead, it's fine.
Madam,
you might get sick
from having too much dessert.
If you're still hungry...
What else do we have?
Don't give her any more food!
No!
No!
No, no, stop!
No!
Our revenge was successful,
in the most childish way.
Hold on, I'll get it.
No, I'll go with you.
It could be the doctor.
How does he have our number?
Don't answer, honey!
Don't answer it!
Hello?
So-jung! It's you.
Sure.
How are you, my dear?
No, no.
We were just meditating.
Hi, So-jung!
- My cell?
- So-jung.
Was it turned off?
I don't use it much here.
- So-jung!
- She's right here. Hold on.
Hi, So-jung!
Yeah.
Really?
I'll come pick you up.
Why?
At 3 p.m.?
I'll send you the address.
We'll finally see you.
You have to sleep over, okay?
Promise!
Be safe and see you tomorrow!
Alright, So-jung.
All right!
Honey, So-jung is coming.
At 3 p.m.?
The doctor will be here
an hour after.
Mrs. Lee!
So-jung!
How are you?
You're finally here!
- Have you been well?
- Yes.
- I missed you so much.
- Me too.
Where is Professor Lee?
He'll be here soon.
Come in.
You must be tired.
- Yeah, honey.
- Where are you?
Looks like no one's home.
So I'm waiting outside.
So-jung is dying to see you.
Really? What should I do?
His car's not here.
He must've gone to town.
That's possible.
Maybe his wife is unwell.
What should we do?
It's almost 4 p.m..
You're right.
He must've taken his wife
to the hospital in town.
Alright, I'm on my way.
Let's eat out today.
I made a reservation
at a famous restaurant nearby.
You didn't need to do that.
For you, of course I do.
Wait, hold on!
Sure, tell me everything.
I'll get that.
Can I help you?
Let me in.
Honey, what were you doing?
Hello.
So-jung.
- Oh, Professor!
- Hello, So-jung.
Even prettier than before.
You have a guest.
Yes, I know.
Can we talk outside?
We can talk here.
Sir, please.
I'm tired.
How's living in Canada?
It's alright.
But Professor,
if you need to,
I can leave you to talk.
No, there's no need.
I feel like I'm in the way.
No, really.
It's nothing like that.
I could almost hear her wondering
why the doctor wasn't leaving.
I also felt her disappointment.
But it was only 4:30.
That doctor wasn't going to leave
our house until 6 p.m..
You must be good at English now.
Yes, a little bit.
You're now taking
Social Contract Theory, right?
Yes.
Do you learn about
Hobbes or Rousseau first?
Hobbes, like here.
I see.
Now, So-jung didn't hide
her disappointment,
especially toward
my inability to deal
with an uninvited guest.
- Professor.
- Yeah.
I'll get going now.
No, stay for dinner.
I want to hear about Canada
and have so much to ask you.
Please, sit.
It's alright.
I'll come back later
if I have time.
Have a great time
with your friend.
Doctor, you must be
a special guest to these folks.
No, So-jung.
So-jung.
So-jung, wait.
You can't just leave like this...
So-jung spat out those rude words,
showing her bitterness
and disapproval.
For the first time in 7 years,
she spoke with spite,
giving us her last farewell.
When you get to our age,
you can't handle the loneliness.
So, the way he sees it,
he'd rather be a bother
than feel like he's being
tossed away by others.
Are you listening?
So polite and courteous.
What a saint.
That's all you can say right now?
Let's be honest.
I'm so sick of this.
Do you think So-jung
will ever come back?
No.
She won't.
We're both pathetic losers
who can't hold onto
what's dear to us.
It's because we're old.
No, it's because we're cowards!
Stop making excuses.
I'm hanging up.
Are you not going to talk to me?
Get lost!
You hear?
Get lost!
Seriously?
Get out of our yard!
Honey!
Stop that!
Are you crazy?
What's wrong with you?
Honey, stop.
Sir?
Don't help him!
Honey!
I'm sorry.
Hurry and help him up!
Are you alright?
I'm so sorry.
How easy was that?
- Honey.
- Go call So-jung.
Let's explain everything,
and tell her
how I took care of things.
Alright, just calm down.
You're losing it.
This isn't like you.
Whatever happens,
you can't use violence.
Sometimes, violence is the answer.
No, it isn't!
What's right or wrong
is not important.
What's important is...
the result.
The outcome!
Just watch.
He'll never show up again.
Now we're free!
After that, he stopped coming.
But strangely enough,
as it got closer to 4 p.m.,
I was still tormented by
all sorts of symptoms.
I was sweating,
I couldn't breathe,
and suffered from insomnia.
I hated him all the more,
enough to want to kill him.
But that very night...
That crazy prick!
What's he doing now?
He was surely miserable
because of his wife.
I could understand how such misery
might drive him to suicide.
So much that as I gazed at
his pathetic, miserable body,
I felt not a grain of sympathy.
So much that the urge came
to drag him back to the garage
and let him breathe in
that fatal gas.
Then, he'd never come back
to our home.
That way, we'd have
our 4 p.m. to ourselves.
The temptation lingered,
and I hesitated all the more.
Suicide?
Poor guy...
I bet he was suffering.
Don't feel bad.
I regret saving the man.
You shouldn't say that.
I still saved him. Didn't I?
But honey,
what about his wife, Sera?
The doctor was her only guardian.
Did he plan to die
and leave her all alone?
Or did he try to kill her too?
That prick.
The place was a living hell.
He had tried to escape this hell,
but I was the one
who stopped him.
He was only struggling to
keep his dignity as a human,
but my petty conscience
got in the way.
Sure enough,
I should have let him die.
I'm sorry.
I fell asleep while waiting
for you to wake up.
Something happened
to your husband.
Unfortunately,
he tried to commit suicide.
But I stopped him.
He was taken to the hospital,
and he will be fine.
I saw it clearly.
Her face lighting up
when I spoke of his suicide,
and her look of despair
when I said he survived.
The clear air was a shock
when I left that hellhole.
The air shone even brighter
than the sunlight.
Having escaped that vile place,
it felt good to be alive.
Perhaps, life is indeed beautiful.
(Hospital)
Why did you do that?
Do you want the windows down?
Didn't you want to kill me?
You were tempted.
That's absurd.
Didn't you want to kill yourself?
Your dreams will be shattered now.
What dreams?
Peace.
You'll shatter our peace?
Why are you doing this to us?
Alright.
Then...
tell me what you're
going to do to us.
What are you gonna do, you jerk?
I'm a doctor.
I know lots of ways,
many ways to kill people!
Kill?
You're insane.
You tried to kill me!
I don't know why you think that...
Do you resent me?
Because I stopped your plan
and saved you?
What are you doing?
Let go!
Are you insane?
Yeah.
I want to kill you.
I want to rip you apart
and kill you.
Listen up.
If you visit us again,
I will really kill you.
Thanks,
I'll be there.
You son of a gun!
Let me ask you.
Before we moved here,
what did you do at that time?
Do you find
those changing leaves beautiful?
Don't you feel bad for your wife?
Probably not.
Those who see no beauty,
people who feel
no compassion or love
deserve to die.
You should've just died then.
You want to kill me that bad?
You've got it all wrong.
They say
if you fail in suicide once,
it's hard to try again.
There's a phrase,
'I'll die the way I've lived.'
Didn't you try
suffocating yourself
because you found
life suffocating?
Don't give up on suicide
if you're set on it.
I beg of you.
You have to take on
your pain yourself.
Mark my words.
I don't make empty promises.
- Honey.
- Yeah?
What's wrong with you today?
The doctor.
He might die soon.
He's going to.
What?
I told you.
Humans repeat their actions.
Even suicide.
There's no exception.
He's going to kill himself?
Maybe.
Oh, please.
To hell with him!
Let me tell you.
I'm not a pushover
who is scared of
your petty threats.
This here is my weapon.
You know how scary this is?
Good luck living
with that pain of yours.
Yes.
No.
Say it.
Die, jerk.
Just die, you prick!
You've stayed so strong
despite this tragic loss.
It's respectable.
Must get lonely though.
If you ever need help,
please let us know anytime.
How happy are we
in a state of self-ignorance!
So ask not who you are,
and don't peer into
your own self-ignorance.
Once you do,
unbearable shame
and misery will smother you.
