THE WAY HOME
He's Sang-woo, your grandson
I'm sorry that
I haven't visited for long
It's been hard to get by
His father?
We split up a long time ago
I was only 19 when we hitched
so what could I possibly do?
It's so hard to find a job lately
I'll find one as fast as I can
I ran a shop before, but I lost it
Only left with debt
It'll be two months at most
I'll be back to take him back
after I find a job
He's used to being alone,
so you won't have trouble
Sang-woo, say hello to your grandma
Who cares
Say hello!
She's dirty
Here's some underwear
And nutrients for elders
They're Sang-woo's
He'll just eat it on his own
I better get on the last bus
No!
No, I can't!
I have to go today
Listen to grandma, and be a good boy
Got it?
That hurts!
Damn it

It's not the right bus?
Not this one, neither?
Grandma, this is the right bus
so hop on
Wait
That grandma across the street asked about you
Since her knees are hurt, she can't go outside
Why don't you visit her?
No
I said no
That was funny
You're funnier
Plus I thought a lot of them were funny
It was fun today, huh?
Where are you going now?

Sell it for your grandson

Thank you
Come by again
I can't visit you because of my knees
Come again
Before one of us die
Go

This doll is really pretty
Yeah? You think so, too?
Yeah, but it'll get dirty easily
since it's white
I'll just be careful
Anyway, you know what it's called?
What?
"Kookie Rabbit"
It's weird, isn't it?
What kind of name is that?
I heard it's trendy
I wanna be with Cheo-lee over there
Don't worry, ma'am
I'll get off with Sang-woo
Cheo-lee, do you know that girl?
Where?
That girl over there
No
Why? Do you know her?
No
Sang-woo's grandma isn't getting on?
She said she'll come later
since she has work to do
How do you know what she's saying?
Learn it?
You don't understand her?

Wow, you are good enough to
teach sign language Yeah?
What do you wanna be when you grow up?
I'm gonna be music teacher

Do you really think so?
Rock, scissors, paper
Rock
Rock
Damn it
I'll save it for tomorrow
What took you so long?
The sky is clear
The wind is fresh
It's a happy day
My friend gave me a flower watch
for my birthday
It doesn't tick
nor show the time
Bye Cheo-lee
Bye
Run faster!
The crazy cow is coming!
Faster!
It's coming down the hill!
I'm serious!
It's the crazy cow
I'm serious
Hurry up
I said hurry!
Are you coming?
Where are you?
I said where are you?
I can't see you
Where are you?
Come closer

Don't fall asleep
Sleeping?
The crazy cow is coming!
Run! Run faster!
Chicken shit
Faster! Faster!
It's right behind you!
Faster! Faster!
It's right behind you!

Sang-woo!
Sang-woo!
I looked everywhere to play with you
I asked Cheo-lee and even went to your house
Have any mousse?
Finished?
What's this?
This sucks!
Yeah, I told you to cut a little
But not to here!
I can't meet Hae-yeon like this
It ran out of batteries
Dummy
But Hae-yeon might come over
You didn't have to come
I saw him on the road before
I'm okay
I'm old enough to die,
but I'm making people around me suffer
What's that?
Nutrients for old people
I don't need that expensive stuff
You should take it
We have lots of other stuff,
but this cloth is the only one
It's ugly
Why'd she put the useless game in?
It's embarrassing,
Watch out!
The crazy cow is coming!
Run! It's dangerous!
Get out of there! Hurry!
The cow is coming!
It's dangerous! Run away!
Run! Run away!
The crazy cow is coming!
Run away! Hurry!
Run up to the hill!
Faster!
Hurry!
I'm sorry about before
You don't have to apologize twice
Look again carefully
This means "I'm sick"
This means "I miss you"
Write it again
Come on
It's easy
You can't speak nor use the phone
so you have to write to me
Grandma, if you get sick
just send a blank letter
Then I'll know it's you
and I'll come for you fast
Okay?
Mom, take the nutrients I gave you
Eat well, and take good care of yourself
I'll come down often, okay?
I'll come again
before the lunar new year
You should wear warmer clothes
Mom, I'll bring you some clothes next time
Have anything to say to grandma?
Mom, I guess he's shy
Thanks for looking after him
The bus is coming
Mom, I'm leaving so make sure you do
what I told you
Don't worry and eat well, okay?
-To Sangwoo From Grandma
-I'm sick
I miss you
I'm sick
I miss you
To Sang-woo, from Grandma
I miss you
