Club Butterfly (2001) Movie Script
I'm too sleepy.
I said I'm tired. Damn you!
What? Why didn't you wake him up?
What time is it? Damn, we're late.
Okay, let's go to preschool. Hurry up!
I don't want to!
Hurry up and eat NO
Do you want a smack? Eat!
Ah, so damn busy
Move over
What about Ji-woo?
I don't know. Aren't you ready?
Give me a hand
Okay
Mommy Dress me
What? Okay
Where's my shirt?
I don't know. look for it
Where'd it go?
I gotta go to the bathroom. He... Could you...?
Ji-woo, don't fight with the kids.
Okay? Go.
What was that this morning? I was damn tired.
You spend all night on the computer.
We need to match schedules.
When do you ever give me the chance?
Collapsing as soon as you get in...
Well, we have to do it sometime.
We are married, aren't we?
How about a trip this weekend?
With Ji-woo?
He'll stay with my cousin.
Overnight?
It'll be like another honeymoon.
What am I doing here at this age?
It's driving me crazy.
Then will you share your knowledge?
I don't need it, take it all.
Think globalization will make you rich?
The chairman
Life's a war.
As soon
as you're born it's a war to survive.
And the bullets? English, computer, IT...
If you don't know them, you'll die like a dog.
You free this Saturday?
I'm supposed to go to the site, would you?
I have an appointment.
Ah, don't make excuses.
Really I do
It's an emergency. Please?
Ah, you suck. Hey
It's that hard to find a model?
Hiring a nude model isn't easy.
Let's find someone in our group.
They're just expensive. So expensive.
Even so, they're professional.
Damn my head hurts.
Anybody want to be a volunteer?
$160 a day. Hae-jin, would you?
Okay, double it.
My boyfriend would kill me.
Me! I wanna do it.
The artists would kill me.
Then will you do it?
Me? You see me just as a nude model?
This body has international appeal.
Shit, they sent this again.
What is this crap? Swapping?
Either insanity or perversion. You think so?
Swapping? You get that again?
It's fun. Good stuff...
Been a while, hasn't it?
Because you're so busy.
I just look busy that's all
Are you coming from somewhere?
Yeah, the shopping mall
Haven't seen
you for ages. I'm glad you came.
Would you like to order?
Yes, coffee please.
What did you buy?
You want to see?
How does it look?
What are you doing?
Who lives without underwear?
You're going to wear that?
Isn't it sexy?
Shame on you. Put it back.
Nothin to be ashamed of
Underwear is important to women.
You're crazy.
Your husband taking good care of you?
What? You mean sex?
That all you ever talk about?
Not going well? Who got bored first?
You? Or your husband?
It's neither boring nor interesting.
It's just not that important in my life.
You serious?
At our age you need to have some fun
Why should we feel obligated?
Obligated? You two?
Why do you live like that?
Listen to you
It's annoying. We're too busy.
Sir, I'll pay for lunch. Have some more.
Eat you fill.
You're the man You saved my wife and me.
Oh, stop it. We just switched shifts.
No, really.
Some friend of mine even refused to help
Some jerk friend? Who?
Director or co-director?
Oh, how you're giving me stress too?
I'm just telling you.
Have a fun trip.
Okay, I will.
You're lucky. Wait till you reach my age,
I'd rather die than go traveling with my wife.
If I were you, I'd choose swapping over a trip.
What?
Come on. I'm screwed up enough already.
Don't think it that way. It just normal.
How about we swap partners?
Why not?
I don't think it would work out.
My wife is still in good shape.
She has facials every day.
and she's get a sweet ass.
You're dirty as a crow. Wait a minute.
If it is ok with Manager Jung. Why Don't we?
OK it is a joke
How about having a drink after work?
Not tonight. I have to take care of my boy.
Who asked you? What about you manager Jung?
Stay still, be patient.
It'll be over soon.
Stretch your arms.
I think the Hyuk couple are having problems.
Seems they aren't doing it.
It seems to me Kyung is the problem.
I met her today after shopping.
It's strange. She said it doesn't matter to her.
Said she has no time for it.
If she feels that way, why would he bother?
Marital problems always stems from both people.
You can't slice in half like a radish.
Kyung's the one with more problems.
Women react to men's attitude.
You get my mail? Why'd you send me this?
You'll know who I am soon, but not yet.
What a shame.
Do you love your wife?
What the hell?
Of course I love her. Why do you ask?
Loving one's wife and swapping is different.
You just getting in now?
What? Mm...
Were you drinking?
Mm I'm okay
Why did you get so drunk?
Are you okay?
Drink up.
No
Don't want it? No
You can't drink why'd you do this?
Look at you
At least my husband takes good care of me.
Thank you.
I'm relieved.
Everything's turned upside-down.
Oh, that smells.
Did you decide where you want to go?
Huh? On our trip.
It was difficult match schedules.
But I did. Trip...
Trip? Yes, we plan to go on a trip.
I know how come you forget it
Ah, this is so great!
See? I told you.
But I feel awful.
You want me to make you feel better?
Really hot?
That's gross. Don't
Kyung...
You know...
I...
I can't.
What did you say?
I can't do it.
I can't get it up!
You've made it this far
I really can't!
Really?
How was yesterday?
Wasn't bad... you?
We had a good time, too.
You guys took a while.
The foreplay was too long.
Did you do oral sex?
Yeah. How about you?
The girl was so skinny.
Lucky girl.
Huh? You tried your hardest?
Yeah. The problem is stress, really...
Why don't you go see a doctor?
If you ever get stress like I have...
You won't have the energy to smoke a cigarette.
How about seeing a different woman?
What?
If you see other woman,
then you'll start feeling guilty.
Then one day you'll go crazy
and jump all over her.
Cause you feel bad for having so much fun.
That's man.
Sir
You just getting in?
He failed again. Sir!
Turn around.
Okay. Sit down.
Did you hear about time and salary for models?
Yes. Then good luck.
Hae-jin? Yes, section chief.
Sit down!
Where'd you buy her?
Who do you think I am?
Aren't your right-hand man?
I was about to do it myself,
if we couldn't find anyone.
Ah, a lost opportunity.
I could have seen all of you.
I'm just an old woman!
Who thinks you're an old woman?
Anyway, I feel good.
I'll buy you lunch.
Would you buy me dinner instead?
Dinner?
Okay, we'll have a drink, too.
Swapping should be based upon trust.
What are you doing?
"A New Kind of Sex - Swapping"
These are working hours.
I know. What am I going to...
doing with these messages?
This world is nuts. Swapping partners?
Is that possible?
It's not illegal.
Of course it isn't.
What are you talking about?
Do I know you?
It's that bad?
What?
Between you two.
It sucks. Can't even do my role as a husband.
I feel like a loser.
There's more to a husband's role than sex.
I just want to be like other people.
How many times do you do it per month? Five?
The numbers are not important.
Then what?
Then how long? How many minutes?
Twenty? Thirty?
An hour?
If you do it an hour, do you get blisters?
Shit... stop asking me.
If a friend wants to talk,
you should help. Bastard...
Excuse me...
How are you?
Who are you?
Don't you remember me?
You look familiar. I don't know.
I remember you so clearly.
I'm not sure.
Why aren't you coming to the club?
I'm divorced.
The club turned into a problem.
You two didn't make a prior agreement?
What? We agreed.
But my wife get distressed
I guess that could happen.
Yeah. We try to help each other,
but things can go bad.
Oh, here we are. Let me out here.
It was good to see you. Bye.
Just a minute.
I can't forget that day.
I understand. Since I'm not just a stranger.
I remember that feeling, too.
I beg you.
No. Sex? It's nice, isn't it?
But the club won't let you in,
if you cheat on your husband.
I don't want it.
We have freedom only within the club.
I don't... Why should you be so faithful?
Do I look like an idiot?
I don't cheat and I don't hide things.
I'm no saint, but I never
do shameful acts on purpose.
Why should I be faithful?
Do you know what faith is?
You are not a woman for one man.
Yes I am! Fuck you!
That's not what I meant...
Idiot. Your problem is you're a moron.
Stupid ass.
You can't live on rice your whole life.
Sometimes you eat meat or fish.
Sometimes you go out to eat.
Sex is a man's vitality.
If your partner keeps quiet,
your wife won't find out.
Even if she does, she won't complain.
Cause she does it, too.
go drink some more. I'll pay. Will you?
Next time.
Why? Your kid again?
Yeah. I have to pick him up.
Call his mother.
Tell her to go home first.
Go ahead.
He wants to buy you a drink.
I'll be off now.
Let's go together.
I'm no
good at partying. I'll get the tab.
Okay. You're no fun anyway.
What are you doing? Call her.
Ah... Okay
Do you have to answer that?
I don't want to be disturbed.
What are you doing?
You're always busy.
If you answer, you'll have to get up.
Even still...
I've liked you since the first time saw you.
There's nothing wrong with liking someone.
There's no answer.
Then leave a message.
Yeah, do that.
Should I?
A year ago. Do you remember at Misari?
A married couple, the husband was a lawyer...
Yeah, so?
I ran into him today.
Such a small world.
I didn't recognize him,
but he know me at a glance.
Said he's divorced.
You talked with him?
There was no reason to avoid him.
Why didn't you pretend not to know him?
Why are all men so universally stupid?
But at least you are okay.
Hey, I didn't finish.
I'm fine... Now it's your turn.
Ji-woo!
Honey?
Ji-woo!
Stop playing games.
Where is he?
Honey?
Is Ji-woo sleeping?
What are you talking about?
Wasn't he with you?
What? Why would he be with me?
It was your turn to pick him up today.
My turn? Didn't you hear my message?
Then where is he?
Where? Must be at preschool. Call now!
There you go again!
Again? Aren't you his mother?
And why'd you turn off your cell phone?
Damn, what time did you get back?
Why does that matter? This is your fault.
If you can't get ahold of me,
you have to come get him.
You got nothing important to do anyway.
Nothing important?
What? Your work is so important?
What?
You're really hot shit, aren't you?
to care about him, me, or our home.
Who left him at school?
What did I do?
I work hard, give you my salary,
and get no thanks.
Work hard?
What are you now, assistant director?
What?
You drank a shitload of booze.
A shitload?
Am I wrong? Are you head of this family?
Shut... Shut your mouth!
Who are you talking to?
Get ahold of yourself.
You little...
You're useless in bad,
can't you at least stay sober?
Stop the car.
Stop the car.
This is our first time.
Everything has a first time.
Did you two sign an agreement?
Of course. Do you think we'd come unprepared?
Where to?
We reserved a place. Are you ready?
Yes
Shouldn't the two of us talk?
It's been a week.
Okay, you do whatever you want.
What is this?
You think I have time for this piece of crap?
If you're so inept,
just sit in the corner and collect your pay.
I'm sorry, chairman.
I'll redo it.
Don't bother. That's trash.
You think redoing it will make miracle happen?
Director Kim, the same goes for you.
What are you doing?
Huh? Nothing...
What? You got a problem?
You don't have any problems with your wife.
Cause she has a good personality.
You worn out?
Yeah, similar.
It's dangerous. Get any ideas?
Look around you. There'll be a solution.
Start with what's nearby.
Bastard, what do you care?
Nothing's working out.
Don't you think I'm a looser?
My life these days is no life at all.
The littlest things drive me crazy.
If I go home, I can't breathe.
I'm scared of my wife.
And work?
The younger workers have all caught up to me.
They keep coming up, it scares me.
But I can't just quit.
What the hell are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Don't just say you're sorry,
do something.
I thought the nude model was okay,
but now there are no artists.
I'll call again.
Call? How long are you going to keep calling?
That's why this always happens!
Hey, what's up?
You're usually so punctual about leaving work
Hey. Director Kim's really in trouble, eh?
What's infidelity at his age?
He should resign.
It's his private life.
Should he lose his job for that?
Society says yes.
You're so cold.
Did he steal something?
Did he kill anyone?
Infidelity is a crime.
Hey, things like that happen sometimes.
Hey, don't you get sick of your wife?
That's why he cheated? Deceiving his wife.
Sometimes two people just like each other.
That's not what happened.
How do you know that?
Can't you tell? He deserves it.
Look, you're his co-worker.
If you don't like it, shut up.
He deserves it?
No wonder you have no friends.
You've got personal problems.
You're overreacting.
Oh, really? Did I put it so strongly?
You've been waiting for this, eh?
Want to take his position?
What?
You asshole.
I don't hurt or...
ask anything of anyone
That's why you're not human!
Here, drink.
Why do you ignore sex?
Your marriage problem is sex, that's all.
Why did I come here? To hear your preaching?
I wanted some rest...
You've never had sex with other man?
Stop talking about sex.
Who else will besides me?
I sometimes sleep with other man.
Are you kidding?
No.
Cheating?
Not cheating.
You still sometimes sleep with other man?
That's right, but it's not cheating.
Then what is it?
Did you know? We do swapping.
Swapping? You mean exchange partners?
Right.
You're crazy. Otherwise...
Why shouldn't I?
It's our of the question. Is that possible?
You think we're pathetic?
I think you are.
Why should sex be only for one partner,
if you're unhappy?
Out of obligation?
Don't answer,
just tell me why I can't sleep with others.
We used to fight like hell,
then have hot sex at night to make up.
Hey, then do that tonight!
Is that possible? The problem is I can't.
My wife just isn't horny.
Can't get it up?
What the hell? That's not it.
I can't do it by myself,
my wife has to like it too.
Don't you know about obligation?
Even if I'm not in the mood,
I should send her to Hong Kong.
You need an ally.
An ally?
Really. Let's go. It's hot.
Ah! Feels nice.
Uh You know...
Have a drink, director.
For the company's image and my pride,
I decide to resign.
I wasn't fired. I quit.
Still, why?
Stop talking about business.
Director, what will you do now?
Nothing. What can I do?
No skills, no money.
Everything gone at once.
After the divorce settlement,
I've got nothing left.
You know what's most shameful about all of this?
My wife was screwing around, too.
But I didn't do anything to stop her.
I thought if she didn't like me,
she could find someone else.
"Let her. So will I."
Where is it?
Not there?
No, I had it this morning.
I put it in here.
You didn't bring it?
Look some more.
Maybe you left it in the car.
The car... I left it in the car.
What's wrong with me? Such an idiot?
Where's the car?
It's me. I left my diary in the car.
What, am I your slave?
Just use me when you need me.
Thank you.
Check this, will you?
Thanks
Look up this date, then take care of it.
What are you looking at?
What are you looking at?
What are you looking at?
What is this...? Damn... What the...?
Come here.
Why are you doing this, why?
What if someone sees...?
Just be still.
What the hell?
You're crazy!
These days it's been driving me crazy.
I couldn't breathe.
It wasn't even anything important.
We fought, and still I had stress.
It's been driving me crazy too
I wanted to hold you every day.
But I couldn't.
That's not your fault. It's my fault.
Maybe... We need something new.
Something new?
Let's meet?
Hey, what should I do?
Should we meet them?
They never suggested we meet.
We did some chatting. Should we just meet them?
You can't meet without reason.
Then what?
Ask yourself. You want to meet or not?
You say they're crazy,
but you don't believe that.
Is that how I look?
You ever feel like separating with your wife?
No, I can't. Because of my son.
Then, can you live without sex?
Could I live without it?
It's not me, it's my wife that matters.
Bastard, be honest.
You're the one that matters.
What about you?
Me? As for me...
Don't think I'm crazy.
I'm wondering what swapping would like.
As you said. It's not illegal.
No, no, no...
How would I tell my wife?
She'd kill me, or think I'm crazy.
What are you doing here? You curious, too?
They're not coming.
There never was any swapping thing.
Some crazy guy was just pulling my leg.
First, just mention swapping to your wife.
If you suggest doing it right away,
it'll confuse her.
What? What are you saying?
Then watch her reaction. Wait a while...
She'll believe it's a crazy idea,
like you did.
Still don't understand?
Then you sent me the mail?
You?
Swapping?
It was me. I sent it.
And a Club Butterfly member also.
That's nonsense. I've known you a long time.
You don't know me.
You're married but it's not what you think.
We wanted swapping from the beginning.
So it never caused us any problems
That's just our lifestyle.
Huh? When did you get in?
Umm... just now.
Were you drinking?
I was, but I'm not drunk.
Shall I make you dinner?
No.
Then wash up and come to bed.
What do you think about that guy Woo?
Why?
Have you meet Sook recently?
Yeah. Why?
Did you sense anything weird?
A strange feeling...
What kind of feeling?
Nothing, sleep.
Yeah, it's fine if you show
your perfect side.
But what about me?
Living here is so hard.
That's why I look this way.
Anyway, what a guy.
You're amazing.
I can't even laugh.
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
A strange email.
What is it?
Do you need something?
Plans for the opening.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
What the hell kind of joke is this?
Why are you sending me mail?
I don't understand you.
What you do is your own business.
But why do you have to drag me into it?
I don't know what you are talking about.
I'm not an internet user and you know it.
If I want to drag you into it,
I'd talk to you rather than sending email.
By the way, have you ever heard of swapping?
Swapping? Well... I've heard the word.
What is it?
Nothing. You don't want to know.
Isn't that where couples exchange partners?
That's it. You've heard.
I think it happens in Korea, too.
That... well... could be...
I haven't seen it.
Isn't it illegal?
No, if they have an agreement,
it's not illegal at all.
Uh... no one can punish them.
How do you know so much?
Uh, well... news...
I remember a newspaper or TV.
Anyway, they're insane.
Swapping... isn't it crazy?
Ah, maybe they have some reason.
What kind of reason could they have?
I could never do that.
Could you?
Me? I... No! How could I?
I'm home.
Did you send email to Kyung?
What?
She has never been this furious.
How could you suggest that?
That's how it appears.
Don't get me wrong. I just wanted to help.
Help? You?
Kyung knows we do swapping, I told her.
You told her?
She was jumping like a dog.
Maybe you gave Hyuk the wrong idea.
She knew. She already knew.
Ah, you've arrived?
Yes, how are you?
Did you finish your monitor project?
Yes, perfect.
Look carefully.
Yes.
Oh no, it looks like rain.
I don't know. It won't be much.
What are you saying?
It's about to pour.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
What kind of work is this?
If someone gets hurt tomorrow,
will you take responsibility?
What is this?
Why you talking like that?
What?
Please relax.
You be careful. I know
if someone's a bad worker.
What the hell was that? Shit...
Hey... Stop work.
Calm down. She gets stressed before big events.
Let me apologize instead.
Why should I calm down? Tell him to go!
I don't need an idiot worker.
Section chief!
We work hard, and she comes in
from the city ordering us around?
I'm sorry. I apologize for her.
Fucking bitch.
Are you hurt?
They won't really back out?
You don't know how to treat these people.
Don't provoke them.
You mean I should grovel?
That's not what I meant.
Let them try to back out.
Did we sign the contract for fun?
What are you doing?
Sex is the best cure for stress.
Why is it OK to eat and dance with someone,
but not to have sex?
Sex is different from dancing and drinking.
If you joke like this again, I'll kill you!
Okay, close up!
Hurry. Don't lose any tools! Hurry up!
What are you doing?
We do not work in the rain.
But you can't back out.
I'll pay for the bathhouse.
No. Would you work in the rain?
If I was ordered to.
Yeah? And if I ordered you to strip?
What? You have to work, regardless of rain.
What can I do?
We don't work in the rain.
Don't do it...
Apologize to him.
Apologize? What did I do?
That bitch.
Why aren't you closing up?
Oh, shit... What a headache.
This is not in the contract!
Follow the law. I'm not breaking any law.
Supervisor!
Wait a minute!
What? Go away!
What should we do?
Let them go. I'm not afraid.
We need to put down some plastic.
Otherwise it won't go even if the rain stops.
There. Pull!
Hold it there!
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
You bastard!
Could you... hold me a bit?
I don't think so...
Okay... sorry.
You went to bad late last night.
I'm sorry. I was so tired.
No. I'm sorry. I woke you.
Why did you put on make-up today?
I woke up early.
Didn't you have anything to do?
Yes, I'm busy.
She reacted badly. No eye contact.
Don't think it'll go.
Everyone does that at first.
Want to go on a trip this weekend?
With couples?
Couples?
Couples...
Divorce?
I didn't say I would.
I just thought about it.
You guys have lasted a while.
I've been feeling strange lately.
Not like adolescence.
Like something I never felt in adolescence.
Sex?
I feel like I have light in my body.
But my husband stays the same.
I get hot and cool by myself.
Don't feel bad. It's natural.
Marriage is a responsibility,
and it's natural to have problems.
But you take sex too lightly.
You should tell your husband how you feel.
Solve it together.
About swapping...
How do you feel after?
I came across an article about swapping today.
What do you think about them?
If they were really distressed...
What did you say?
Nothing. It's perverted.
But they say it's kind of accepted in Europe.
Take Director Kim. His wife cheated on him.
Isn't swapping preferable?
Let's do it.
Swapping?
Not that.
What... what are you doing?
We're married.
Women can say they want to,
there's nothing shameful in it.
Did I say anything?
I want to...
I want to do it.
This is too much!
If I don't want to, you force me to do it.
Then why can't you do it when I want to?
Do you have a problem? Go see a doctor!
What did you say?
Sorry, I was rude.
I'm trying, too.
Woo wants to travel.
Would you go? Just couples.
Hey, wait a minute...!
I need to talk to you.
Go on inside. I'll be there in a sec.
What's up?
Hey, I thought about this a lot.
But I couldn't tell my wife.
She came up here not knowing.
What do you think this is?
I'm not stupid. We're going to do it, right?
You're right.
Okay, I'm prepared, but not my wife.
I've known you for 10 yrs.
And we'll see each other at work.
Hey, who said it's just the 4 of us?
Of course, we could end up as a couple.
I won't push you. It's all up to you.
But you two are so strange.
Both knowing, but keeping quiet.
Living without communication is
worse than living without sex.
You two are already club members.
They're waiting,
and everyone knows it's your first time.
Go in the condo, and talk to each other.
If she says she won't do it,
then nothing we can do.
Go on in. The choice is yours.
Mr. Jung
Let's go ahead and start.
I didn't think they're coming.
Let's go.
Wait just a minute longer.
Welcome. I knew you'd come.
Let me introduce our new members.
Give these people a hand.
Let's introduce ourselves.
This is my friend.
Pleased to meet you.
Hey, don't be nervous.
Okay.
Are you shaking?
We are running a bit late today.
Therefore we'll skip the induction ceremony.
Remember, our time together
is limited to this meeting.
Now we will start our game.
Go ahead.
Pick well!
What's your number?
Number one.
Will you pick one?
What's that? A number.
It's fun.
Have the women all picked numbers?
Yes!
Who'll be this time?...
Then, it's the men's turn.
Who wants to go first?
Might as well get it over with.
I will. After You.
Good luck.
Number 7.
Not me...
Oh... What is this?... Darling...
Ah... You picked your wife.
Did you people fix this on purpose?
Oh well. A rule is a rule.
Well, darling. I'll give you my best today.
That'll be good.
It's no fun at home, no fun when I go out.
Next?
Let's give our new member a chance.
Go ahead.
What are you waiting for?
It'll take all night!
Ah. Yes...
What's your number?
Ah, yes... Number 6.
It's hard with new members.
Who is number 4?
Not me...
Isn't that you?
Kyung! Darling!
Do we really have to do this?
I feel miserable.
I can't accept having another
man in my body. Can you?
Does your silence mean yes?
If you can't, let's go.
It's not obliga...
No. Don't say any more.
Don't be nervous.
It's your first time?
You'll be all right.
If you're not in the mood, you don't have to.
We don't force anyone. Let's stop.
No, I can do it. I want to.
You aren't ready yet?
I... I'll get in bed.
This is hard for you?
It always is the first time.
Yeah...
Why'd you come out so soon?
Didn't you want to do this?
Did we really need to sink that low?
I said I'm tired. Damn you!
What? Why didn't you wake him up?
What time is it? Damn, we're late.
Okay, let's go to preschool. Hurry up!
I don't want to!
Hurry up and eat NO
Do you want a smack? Eat!
Ah, so damn busy
Move over
What about Ji-woo?
I don't know. Aren't you ready?
Give me a hand
Okay
Mommy Dress me
What? Okay
Where's my shirt?
I don't know. look for it
Where'd it go?
I gotta go to the bathroom. He... Could you...?
Ji-woo, don't fight with the kids.
Okay? Go.
What was that this morning? I was damn tired.
You spend all night on the computer.
We need to match schedules.
When do you ever give me the chance?
Collapsing as soon as you get in...
Well, we have to do it sometime.
We are married, aren't we?
How about a trip this weekend?
With Ji-woo?
He'll stay with my cousin.
Overnight?
It'll be like another honeymoon.
What am I doing here at this age?
It's driving me crazy.
Then will you share your knowledge?
I don't need it, take it all.
Think globalization will make you rich?
The chairman
Life's a war.
As soon
as you're born it's a war to survive.
And the bullets? English, computer, IT...
If you don't know them, you'll die like a dog.
You free this Saturday?
I'm supposed to go to the site, would you?
I have an appointment.
Ah, don't make excuses.
Really I do
It's an emergency. Please?
Ah, you suck. Hey
It's that hard to find a model?
Hiring a nude model isn't easy.
Let's find someone in our group.
They're just expensive. So expensive.
Even so, they're professional.
Damn my head hurts.
Anybody want to be a volunteer?
$160 a day. Hae-jin, would you?
Okay, double it.
My boyfriend would kill me.
Me! I wanna do it.
The artists would kill me.
Then will you do it?
Me? You see me just as a nude model?
This body has international appeal.
Shit, they sent this again.
What is this crap? Swapping?
Either insanity or perversion. You think so?
Swapping? You get that again?
It's fun. Good stuff...
Been a while, hasn't it?
Because you're so busy.
I just look busy that's all
Are you coming from somewhere?
Yeah, the shopping mall
Haven't seen
you for ages. I'm glad you came.
Would you like to order?
Yes, coffee please.
What did you buy?
You want to see?
How does it look?
What are you doing?
Who lives without underwear?
You're going to wear that?
Isn't it sexy?
Shame on you. Put it back.
Nothin to be ashamed of
Underwear is important to women.
You're crazy.
Your husband taking good care of you?
What? You mean sex?
That all you ever talk about?
Not going well? Who got bored first?
You? Or your husband?
It's neither boring nor interesting.
It's just not that important in my life.
You serious?
At our age you need to have some fun
Why should we feel obligated?
Obligated? You two?
Why do you live like that?
Listen to you
It's annoying. We're too busy.
Sir, I'll pay for lunch. Have some more.
Eat you fill.
You're the man You saved my wife and me.
Oh, stop it. We just switched shifts.
No, really.
Some friend of mine even refused to help
Some jerk friend? Who?
Director or co-director?
Oh, how you're giving me stress too?
I'm just telling you.
Have a fun trip.
Okay, I will.
You're lucky. Wait till you reach my age,
I'd rather die than go traveling with my wife.
If I were you, I'd choose swapping over a trip.
What?
Come on. I'm screwed up enough already.
Don't think it that way. It just normal.
How about we swap partners?
Why not?
I don't think it would work out.
My wife is still in good shape.
She has facials every day.
and she's get a sweet ass.
You're dirty as a crow. Wait a minute.
If it is ok with Manager Jung. Why Don't we?
OK it is a joke
How about having a drink after work?
Not tonight. I have to take care of my boy.
Who asked you? What about you manager Jung?
Stay still, be patient.
It'll be over soon.
Stretch your arms.
I think the Hyuk couple are having problems.
Seems they aren't doing it.
It seems to me Kyung is the problem.
I met her today after shopping.
It's strange. She said it doesn't matter to her.
Said she has no time for it.
If she feels that way, why would he bother?
Marital problems always stems from both people.
You can't slice in half like a radish.
Kyung's the one with more problems.
Women react to men's attitude.
You get my mail? Why'd you send me this?
You'll know who I am soon, but not yet.
What a shame.
Do you love your wife?
What the hell?
Of course I love her. Why do you ask?
Loving one's wife and swapping is different.
You just getting in now?
What? Mm...
Were you drinking?
Mm I'm okay
Why did you get so drunk?
Are you okay?
Drink up.
No
Don't want it? No
You can't drink why'd you do this?
Look at you
At least my husband takes good care of me.
Thank you.
I'm relieved.
Everything's turned upside-down.
Oh, that smells.
Did you decide where you want to go?
Huh? On our trip.
It was difficult match schedules.
But I did. Trip...
Trip? Yes, we plan to go on a trip.
I know how come you forget it
Ah, this is so great!
See? I told you.
But I feel awful.
You want me to make you feel better?
Really hot?
That's gross. Don't
Kyung...
You know...
I...
I can't.
What did you say?
I can't do it.
I can't get it up!
You've made it this far
I really can't!
Really?
How was yesterday?
Wasn't bad... you?
We had a good time, too.
You guys took a while.
The foreplay was too long.
Did you do oral sex?
Yeah. How about you?
The girl was so skinny.
Lucky girl.
Huh? You tried your hardest?
Yeah. The problem is stress, really...
Why don't you go see a doctor?
If you ever get stress like I have...
You won't have the energy to smoke a cigarette.
How about seeing a different woman?
What?
If you see other woman,
then you'll start feeling guilty.
Then one day you'll go crazy
and jump all over her.
Cause you feel bad for having so much fun.
That's man.
Sir
You just getting in?
He failed again. Sir!
Turn around.
Okay. Sit down.
Did you hear about time and salary for models?
Yes. Then good luck.
Hae-jin? Yes, section chief.
Sit down!
Where'd you buy her?
Who do you think I am?
Aren't your right-hand man?
I was about to do it myself,
if we couldn't find anyone.
Ah, a lost opportunity.
I could have seen all of you.
I'm just an old woman!
Who thinks you're an old woman?
Anyway, I feel good.
I'll buy you lunch.
Would you buy me dinner instead?
Dinner?
Okay, we'll have a drink, too.
Swapping should be based upon trust.
What are you doing?
"A New Kind of Sex - Swapping"
These are working hours.
I know. What am I going to...
doing with these messages?
This world is nuts. Swapping partners?
Is that possible?
It's not illegal.
Of course it isn't.
What are you talking about?
Do I know you?
It's that bad?
What?
Between you two.
It sucks. Can't even do my role as a husband.
I feel like a loser.
There's more to a husband's role than sex.
I just want to be like other people.
How many times do you do it per month? Five?
The numbers are not important.
Then what?
Then how long? How many minutes?
Twenty? Thirty?
An hour?
If you do it an hour, do you get blisters?
Shit... stop asking me.
If a friend wants to talk,
you should help. Bastard...
Excuse me...
How are you?
Who are you?
Don't you remember me?
You look familiar. I don't know.
I remember you so clearly.
I'm not sure.
Why aren't you coming to the club?
I'm divorced.
The club turned into a problem.
You two didn't make a prior agreement?
What? We agreed.
But my wife get distressed
I guess that could happen.
Yeah. We try to help each other,
but things can go bad.
Oh, here we are. Let me out here.
It was good to see you. Bye.
Just a minute.
I can't forget that day.
I understand. Since I'm not just a stranger.
I remember that feeling, too.
I beg you.
No. Sex? It's nice, isn't it?
But the club won't let you in,
if you cheat on your husband.
I don't want it.
We have freedom only within the club.
I don't... Why should you be so faithful?
Do I look like an idiot?
I don't cheat and I don't hide things.
I'm no saint, but I never
do shameful acts on purpose.
Why should I be faithful?
Do you know what faith is?
You are not a woman for one man.
Yes I am! Fuck you!
That's not what I meant...
Idiot. Your problem is you're a moron.
Stupid ass.
You can't live on rice your whole life.
Sometimes you eat meat or fish.
Sometimes you go out to eat.
Sex is a man's vitality.
If your partner keeps quiet,
your wife won't find out.
Even if she does, she won't complain.
Cause she does it, too.
go drink some more. I'll pay. Will you?
Next time.
Why? Your kid again?
Yeah. I have to pick him up.
Call his mother.
Tell her to go home first.
Go ahead.
He wants to buy you a drink.
I'll be off now.
Let's go together.
I'm no
good at partying. I'll get the tab.
Okay. You're no fun anyway.
What are you doing? Call her.
Ah... Okay
Do you have to answer that?
I don't want to be disturbed.
What are you doing?
You're always busy.
If you answer, you'll have to get up.
Even still...
I've liked you since the first time saw you.
There's nothing wrong with liking someone.
There's no answer.
Then leave a message.
Yeah, do that.
Should I?
A year ago. Do you remember at Misari?
A married couple, the husband was a lawyer...
Yeah, so?
I ran into him today.
Such a small world.
I didn't recognize him,
but he know me at a glance.
Said he's divorced.
You talked with him?
There was no reason to avoid him.
Why didn't you pretend not to know him?
Why are all men so universally stupid?
But at least you are okay.
Hey, I didn't finish.
I'm fine... Now it's your turn.
Ji-woo!
Honey?
Ji-woo!
Stop playing games.
Where is he?
Honey?
Is Ji-woo sleeping?
What are you talking about?
Wasn't he with you?
What? Why would he be with me?
It was your turn to pick him up today.
My turn? Didn't you hear my message?
Then where is he?
Where? Must be at preschool. Call now!
There you go again!
Again? Aren't you his mother?
And why'd you turn off your cell phone?
Damn, what time did you get back?
Why does that matter? This is your fault.
If you can't get ahold of me,
you have to come get him.
You got nothing important to do anyway.
Nothing important?
What? Your work is so important?
What?
You're really hot shit, aren't you?
to care about him, me, or our home.
Who left him at school?
What did I do?
I work hard, give you my salary,
and get no thanks.
Work hard?
What are you now, assistant director?
What?
You drank a shitload of booze.
A shitload?
Am I wrong? Are you head of this family?
Shut... Shut your mouth!
Who are you talking to?
Get ahold of yourself.
You little...
You're useless in bad,
can't you at least stay sober?
Stop the car.
Stop the car.
This is our first time.
Everything has a first time.
Did you two sign an agreement?
Of course. Do you think we'd come unprepared?
Where to?
We reserved a place. Are you ready?
Yes
Shouldn't the two of us talk?
It's been a week.
Okay, you do whatever you want.
What is this?
You think I have time for this piece of crap?
If you're so inept,
just sit in the corner and collect your pay.
I'm sorry, chairman.
I'll redo it.
Don't bother. That's trash.
You think redoing it will make miracle happen?
Director Kim, the same goes for you.
What are you doing?
Huh? Nothing...
What? You got a problem?
You don't have any problems with your wife.
Cause she has a good personality.
You worn out?
Yeah, similar.
It's dangerous. Get any ideas?
Look around you. There'll be a solution.
Start with what's nearby.
Bastard, what do you care?
Nothing's working out.
Don't you think I'm a looser?
My life these days is no life at all.
The littlest things drive me crazy.
If I go home, I can't breathe.
I'm scared of my wife.
And work?
The younger workers have all caught up to me.
They keep coming up, it scares me.
But I can't just quit.
What the hell are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Don't just say you're sorry,
do something.
I thought the nude model was okay,
but now there are no artists.
I'll call again.
Call? How long are you going to keep calling?
That's why this always happens!
Hey, what's up?
You're usually so punctual about leaving work
Hey. Director Kim's really in trouble, eh?
What's infidelity at his age?
He should resign.
It's his private life.
Should he lose his job for that?
Society says yes.
You're so cold.
Did he steal something?
Did he kill anyone?
Infidelity is a crime.
Hey, things like that happen sometimes.
Hey, don't you get sick of your wife?
That's why he cheated? Deceiving his wife.
Sometimes two people just like each other.
That's not what happened.
How do you know that?
Can't you tell? He deserves it.
Look, you're his co-worker.
If you don't like it, shut up.
He deserves it?
No wonder you have no friends.
You've got personal problems.
You're overreacting.
Oh, really? Did I put it so strongly?
You've been waiting for this, eh?
Want to take his position?
What?
You asshole.
I don't hurt or...
ask anything of anyone
That's why you're not human!
Here, drink.
Why do you ignore sex?
Your marriage problem is sex, that's all.
Why did I come here? To hear your preaching?
I wanted some rest...
You've never had sex with other man?
Stop talking about sex.
Who else will besides me?
I sometimes sleep with other man.
Are you kidding?
No.
Cheating?
Not cheating.
You still sometimes sleep with other man?
That's right, but it's not cheating.
Then what is it?
Did you know? We do swapping.
Swapping? You mean exchange partners?
Right.
You're crazy. Otherwise...
Why shouldn't I?
It's our of the question. Is that possible?
You think we're pathetic?
I think you are.
Why should sex be only for one partner,
if you're unhappy?
Out of obligation?
Don't answer,
just tell me why I can't sleep with others.
We used to fight like hell,
then have hot sex at night to make up.
Hey, then do that tonight!
Is that possible? The problem is I can't.
My wife just isn't horny.
Can't get it up?
What the hell? That's not it.
I can't do it by myself,
my wife has to like it too.
Don't you know about obligation?
Even if I'm not in the mood,
I should send her to Hong Kong.
You need an ally.
An ally?
Really. Let's go. It's hot.
Ah! Feels nice.
Uh You know...
Have a drink, director.
For the company's image and my pride,
I decide to resign.
I wasn't fired. I quit.
Still, why?
Stop talking about business.
Director, what will you do now?
Nothing. What can I do?
No skills, no money.
Everything gone at once.
After the divorce settlement,
I've got nothing left.
You know what's most shameful about all of this?
My wife was screwing around, too.
But I didn't do anything to stop her.
I thought if she didn't like me,
she could find someone else.
"Let her. So will I."
Where is it?
Not there?
No, I had it this morning.
I put it in here.
You didn't bring it?
Look some more.
Maybe you left it in the car.
The car... I left it in the car.
What's wrong with me? Such an idiot?
Where's the car?
It's me. I left my diary in the car.
What, am I your slave?
Just use me when you need me.
Thank you.
Check this, will you?
Thanks
Look up this date, then take care of it.
What are you looking at?
What are you looking at?
What are you looking at?
What is this...? Damn... What the...?
Come here.
Why are you doing this, why?
What if someone sees...?
Just be still.
What the hell?
You're crazy!
These days it's been driving me crazy.
I couldn't breathe.
It wasn't even anything important.
We fought, and still I had stress.
It's been driving me crazy too
I wanted to hold you every day.
But I couldn't.
That's not your fault. It's my fault.
Maybe... We need something new.
Something new?
Let's meet?
Hey, what should I do?
Should we meet them?
They never suggested we meet.
We did some chatting. Should we just meet them?
You can't meet without reason.
Then what?
Ask yourself. You want to meet or not?
You say they're crazy,
but you don't believe that.
Is that how I look?
You ever feel like separating with your wife?
No, I can't. Because of my son.
Then, can you live without sex?
Could I live without it?
It's not me, it's my wife that matters.
Bastard, be honest.
You're the one that matters.
What about you?
Me? As for me...
Don't think I'm crazy.
I'm wondering what swapping would like.
As you said. It's not illegal.
No, no, no...
How would I tell my wife?
She'd kill me, or think I'm crazy.
What are you doing here? You curious, too?
They're not coming.
There never was any swapping thing.
Some crazy guy was just pulling my leg.
First, just mention swapping to your wife.
If you suggest doing it right away,
it'll confuse her.
What? What are you saying?
Then watch her reaction. Wait a while...
She'll believe it's a crazy idea,
like you did.
Still don't understand?
Then you sent me the mail?
You?
Swapping?
It was me. I sent it.
And a Club Butterfly member also.
That's nonsense. I've known you a long time.
You don't know me.
You're married but it's not what you think.
We wanted swapping from the beginning.
So it never caused us any problems
That's just our lifestyle.
Huh? When did you get in?
Umm... just now.
Were you drinking?
I was, but I'm not drunk.
Shall I make you dinner?
No.
Then wash up and come to bed.
What do you think about that guy Woo?
Why?
Have you meet Sook recently?
Yeah. Why?
Did you sense anything weird?
A strange feeling...
What kind of feeling?
Nothing, sleep.
Yeah, it's fine if you show
your perfect side.
But what about me?
Living here is so hard.
That's why I look this way.
Anyway, what a guy.
You're amazing.
I can't even laugh.
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
A strange email.
What is it?
Do you need something?
Plans for the opening.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
What the hell kind of joke is this?
Why are you sending me mail?
I don't understand you.
What you do is your own business.
But why do you have to drag me into it?
I don't know what you are talking about.
I'm not an internet user and you know it.
If I want to drag you into it,
I'd talk to you rather than sending email.
By the way, have you ever heard of swapping?
Swapping? Well... I've heard the word.
What is it?
Nothing. You don't want to know.
Isn't that where couples exchange partners?
That's it. You've heard.
I think it happens in Korea, too.
That... well... could be...
I haven't seen it.
Isn't it illegal?
No, if they have an agreement,
it's not illegal at all.
Uh... no one can punish them.
How do you know so much?
Uh, well... news...
I remember a newspaper or TV.
Anyway, they're insane.
Swapping... isn't it crazy?
Ah, maybe they have some reason.
What kind of reason could they have?
I could never do that.
Could you?
Me? I... No! How could I?
I'm home.
Did you send email to Kyung?
What?
She has never been this furious.
How could you suggest that?
That's how it appears.
Don't get me wrong. I just wanted to help.
Help? You?
Kyung knows we do swapping, I told her.
You told her?
She was jumping like a dog.
Maybe you gave Hyuk the wrong idea.
She knew. She already knew.
Ah, you've arrived?
Yes, how are you?
Did you finish your monitor project?
Yes, perfect.
Look carefully.
Yes.
Oh no, it looks like rain.
I don't know. It won't be much.
What are you saying?
It's about to pour.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
What kind of work is this?
If someone gets hurt tomorrow,
will you take responsibility?
What is this?
Why you talking like that?
What?
Please relax.
You be careful. I know
if someone's a bad worker.
What the hell was that? Shit...
Hey... Stop work.
Calm down. She gets stressed before big events.
Let me apologize instead.
Why should I calm down? Tell him to go!
I don't need an idiot worker.
Section chief!
We work hard, and she comes in
from the city ordering us around?
I'm sorry. I apologize for her.
Fucking bitch.
Are you hurt?
They won't really back out?
You don't know how to treat these people.
Don't provoke them.
You mean I should grovel?
That's not what I meant.
Let them try to back out.
Did we sign the contract for fun?
What are you doing?
Sex is the best cure for stress.
Why is it OK to eat and dance with someone,
but not to have sex?
Sex is different from dancing and drinking.
If you joke like this again, I'll kill you!
Okay, close up!
Hurry. Don't lose any tools! Hurry up!
What are you doing?
We do not work in the rain.
But you can't back out.
I'll pay for the bathhouse.
No. Would you work in the rain?
If I was ordered to.
Yeah? And if I ordered you to strip?
What? You have to work, regardless of rain.
What can I do?
We don't work in the rain.
Don't do it...
Apologize to him.
Apologize? What did I do?
That bitch.
Why aren't you closing up?
Oh, shit... What a headache.
This is not in the contract!
Follow the law. I'm not breaking any law.
Supervisor!
Wait a minute!
What? Go away!
What should we do?
Let them go. I'm not afraid.
We need to put down some plastic.
Otherwise it won't go even if the rain stops.
There. Pull!
Hold it there!
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
You bastard!
Could you... hold me a bit?
I don't think so...
Okay... sorry.
You went to bad late last night.
I'm sorry. I was so tired.
No. I'm sorry. I woke you.
Why did you put on make-up today?
I woke up early.
Didn't you have anything to do?
Yes, I'm busy.
She reacted badly. No eye contact.
Don't think it'll go.
Everyone does that at first.
Want to go on a trip this weekend?
With couples?
Couples?
Couples...
Divorce?
I didn't say I would.
I just thought about it.
You guys have lasted a while.
I've been feeling strange lately.
Not like adolescence.
Like something I never felt in adolescence.
Sex?
I feel like I have light in my body.
But my husband stays the same.
I get hot and cool by myself.
Don't feel bad. It's natural.
Marriage is a responsibility,
and it's natural to have problems.
But you take sex too lightly.
You should tell your husband how you feel.
Solve it together.
About swapping...
How do you feel after?
I came across an article about swapping today.
What do you think about them?
If they were really distressed...
What did you say?
Nothing. It's perverted.
But they say it's kind of accepted in Europe.
Take Director Kim. His wife cheated on him.
Isn't swapping preferable?
Let's do it.
Swapping?
Not that.
What... what are you doing?
We're married.
Women can say they want to,
there's nothing shameful in it.
Did I say anything?
I want to...
I want to do it.
This is too much!
If I don't want to, you force me to do it.
Then why can't you do it when I want to?
Do you have a problem? Go see a doctor!
What did you say?
Sorry, I was rude.
I'm trying, too.
Woo wants to travel.
Would you go? Just couples.
Hey, wait a minute...!
I need to talk to you.
Go on inside. I'll be there in a sec.
What's up?
Hey, I thought about this a lot.
But I couldn't tell my wife.
She came up here not knowing.
What do you think this is?
I'm not stupid. We're going to do it, right?
You're right.
Okay, I'm prepared, but not my wife.
I've known you for 10 yrs.
And we'll see each other at work.
Hey, who said it's just the 4 of us?
Of course, we could end up as a couple.
I won't push you. It's all up to you.
But you two are so strange.
Both knowing, but keeping quiet.
Living without communication is
worse than living without sex.
You two are already club members.
They're waiting,
and everyone knows it's your first time.
Go in the condo, and talk to each other.
If she says she won't do it,
then nothing we can do.
Go on in. The choice is yours.
Mr. Jung
Let's go ahead and start.
I didn't think they're coming.
Let's go.
Wait just a minute longer.
Welcome. I knew you'd come.
Let me introduce our new members.
Give these people a hand.
Let's introduce ourselves.
This is my friend.
Pleased to meet you.
Hey, don't be nervous.
Okay.
Are you shaking?
We are running a bit late today.
Therefore we'll skip the induction ceremony.
Remember, our time together
is limited to this meeting.
Now we will start our game.
Go ahead.
Pick well!
What's your number?
Number one.
Will you pick one?
What's that? A number.
It's fun.
Have the women all picked numbers?
Yes!
Who'll be this time?...
Then, it's the men's turn.
Who wants to go first?
Might as well get it over with.
I will. After You.
Good luck.
Number 7.
Not me...
Oh... What is this?... Darling...
Ah... You picked your wife.
Did you people fix this on purpose?
Oh well. A rule is a rule.
Well, darling. I'll give you my best today.
That'll be good.
It's no fun at home, no fun when I go out.
Next?
Let's give our new member a chance.
Go ahead.
What are you waiting for?
It'll take all night!
Ah. Yes...
What's your number?
Ah, yes... Number 6.
It's hard with new members.
Who is number 4?
Not me...
Isn't that you?
Kyung! Darling!
Do we really have to do this?
I feel miserable.
I can't accept having another
man in my body. Can you?
Does your silence mean yes?
If you can't, let's go.
It's not obliga...
No. Don't say any more.
Don't be nervous.
It's your first time?
You'll be all right.
If you're not in the mood, you don't have to.
We don't force anyone. Let's stop.
No, I can do it. I want to.
You aren't ready yet?
I... I'll get in bed.
This is hard for you?
It always is the first time.
Yeah...
Why'd you come out so soon?
Didn't you want to do this?
Did we really need to sink that low?
