Da-reun na-ra-e-seo (In Another Country) (2012) Movie Script
IN ANOTHER COUNTRY
West Blue Hotel
We're just here for
two days, mom?
Probably.
Maybe a week longer.
But I hope not.
What do you mean?
Are we moving here?
Let's believe your uncle.
He said he would
turn himself in.
Nothing about killing himself?
He wouldn't kill himself.
Remember?
I kept telling you not
to be his guarantor.
Of course. You warned
me a million times.
He's not even a human being.
How could he do this to us?
Your aunt married
the wrong man.
He's putting our family
out on the street.
Then he ran away
to save himself.
That's true.
Give me that cake.
So these things
really happen.
What am I doing here?
I'm going to fix
everything somehow.
Have faith in your mother.
I'm writing a script
to calm my nerves.
It was about a woman
running from debt.
Now it's about a charming
French visitor.
She will be a successful
French director,
Like the woman I saw
At the Jeonju film festival.
It's a small beach,
you like it?
Yeah. It's small, but,
it's beautiful.
What's its name?
What's it called?
It's Mohang.
Mohang beach.
Mohang...
- what does it mean?
- I don't know.
Does it have a meaning?
I don't think so.
Oh, be careful!
What kind of people
would do this?
- What?
- It's Soju Byung.
It's a Soju bottle.
A Soju bottle.
They're... it's crazy Koreans,
they're crazy about drinking.
Yes...
But they don't know... how to...
behave for the others.
Be careful. Be careful.
It's cool.
- How have you been?
- Good.
- Did you graduate?
- Not yet.
- But how old are you?
- Twenty-Five.
- I see.
- I'm taking time off.
Oh, her? She's very famous.
Anne, this is Won-Ju.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- She's so charming.
- You think so?
She's a French director.

Ah, she said
you're beautiful.
- Oh, really? Thank you.
- You're welcome. It's true.

Yes, both of you
are beautiful.
- And me? What about me?

- Ah, no no.
You too. Let's go.
- More than Wonju?
- Of course.
More than Anne?
Of course! How can
you ask me that?
- Can I trust you on that?
- Don't be silly.
- She is talking about me?
- Yes. It's nothing.
- She thinks you're beautiful.
- Hmm... really?
No, I don't think
she was saying that.
I think so.
Ok. So we're all beautiful.
Let's go.
Thanks.
Thank you.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
Enjoy your stay.
She's taking a shower.
You remember our kiss?

Anne.
I'll make someday,
a film about this place.
Why?
Because, people here have
struggled long time.
They have suffered a lot.
Why?
I don't know why.
I'll find out why,
by making a film.
He never stops thinking about film.
He think about film 24 hours.
I can never do that.
- You think so?
- Yeah.
Do you do that too?
No. I'm very lazy person.
I can never do that.
I just think we have to do
what we have to do,
Not what we can do.
On the contrary, I think we
do only what we can do.
And that's the good way to think.
We cannot be responsible
that much, anyway.
Yes, we can.
If we try hard.
Yes, but if you can.
You will be responsible.
But if you cannot,
forget it. You cannot.
Anne. I think he's right.
We have to be responsible.
Ok.
Anyway, I think I can eat
this little cone snack,
I can really enjoy this.
- Oh, really? It's great.
- It's very tasty.
It's very cheap.
I love it.
And I love that tea you gave me
yesterday. It's really good.
Ah, you mean ginseng tea.
It's really good for your health.
I know.
I'd like to buy some before I go.
You think I can?
Oh, sure. I'll buy some
for you. It's very cheap.
Oh, really? It's cheap?
I didn't know.
Yes, it's very cheap.
And it's very good
for your health.
I'm lost. I'm lost.
How far is it? Who is it?
Please speak more slowly.
Can you take me there.
I will call you back.
- Glad to meet you.
- Glad to meet you too.
I bought the best
beef for you.
Thanks for a great meal.
You're treating
me so well.
I'm happy to be here.
If you're happy,

You're so sweet, Jong!
Oh, it's Jongsoo.

You should pace yourself.
I'm not drinking a lot.
Don't worry.
Because you always
get sick afterwards.
You know better than that.
Okay. I got it.
I'm only saying...

enjoyable for everyone.
Is something wrong?
He shouldn't
drink like that.
He has a drinking
problem, you know.
Oh, really?
Yeah. He cannot
control very well.
Anne, it's ok. It's ok.
She is envious. Because
she cannot drink.
You crazy man!
Hey! Damn it.
I think we shouldn't
drink, Jong.
We're on vacation and
I can't even drink?
What did I do so wrong?
Honey. Calm down.
Control yourself.
Is that so hard?
Fine.

It's a new song!
Oh, I see. It's ok.

Ah, really?
But I made it for you.
Can't you see us
drinking here?
I apologize.
Can I see you
just a moment?
Who's the manager here?

You're disrespectful and
you're bothering her.
I understand.
I have something for you.

- Do you know him?
- No. I met him on the beach.
- Oh, really?

You know, there are so many
Korean men like that.
You see everywhere.
They just love foreign women,
they are so curious, you know?
I'm sick of them.
Really?
- I didn't know.
- You wouldn't know.
You have to be careful with
that kind of Korean men.
- Yes, Anne. He's right.
- Ok.
Be careful.
They're so different.
Different.
She is sleeping.
You drank a lot.
- Why did you wake up?
- Yes. I drank a lot.
Why?
Because you are
leaving today.
Oh, it's ok.
- We'll see each other.
- Yeah, I know.
- Is she sleeping?
- Yes. I saw her sleeping.
It's a beautiful morning.
- Anne.
- Yes?
- Can I kiss you?
- What?
I want to kiss you
for the last time.
- No. It's ok.
- You don't like me?
You're drunk.
I like to kiss you
for the last time.
Yes. But...
We're friends. As you said.
We'll be friends.
Really?
Anne!
- Where is my husband?
- He is there.
- Really?
- Yeah. He's over there.
Ok.
I will walk a little bit.
I'll come back soon.
- Be careful!
- Yeah. Thank you.
Hello.

a word he knew well.
Her "b" looked like a "p".
The next woman who visits is
a rich housewife from Seoul.
Her husband is
a motor company VP.
Her love for a Korean man
brought her to Mohang.
It takes courage for a foreign
woman to travel alone.

No, we should've called ahead.
But it's a spacious room.
The size doesn't matter.
I just like my privacy.
I see. Enjoy your stay.
Thank you.
Come in.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Aren't you a director?
I saw you on TV.
- You know me?
- You're famous.
No, Im not famous.
What brings you to...
Im Park Sook and I teach
folklore in Jeonju.
Nice to meet you.
- You're here on vacation?
- No.
I'm doing interviews to
shoot a film here.
What are you shooting?
It's about the people
who have lived here.
I see. Well, then...
excuse me.
We're having a barbecue later.
Please join us.
We'd love to. Thank you.
Let's go, Anne.
It's so beautiful
the way you bow.
Thank you.
You want to bow?
I'm not a Buddhist.
I know. But it's good
to bow anyway.
Yes?
- It's a good way to forget.
- Yes.
I believe you.
You know, we have a thousand
monkeys in our brain,
Chattering all the time.
- We have?
- Yeah.
That's why it's
always noisy here.
You want to
follow me? Ok.
Are you done?
Thank you.
I want to see
a monk. Can I?
- Oh, really?
- Yes.
I want to talk to him,
I want to ask him questions.
Ok. Wait a minute.
- Excuse me, sister.
- Hello.
- May we see the monk?
- He's out right now.
I see.
- You can come back tomorrow.
- All right. Thank you.
Well, Im sorry. He's not here.
But if you really
want to see a monk,
I can arrange a meeting
with someone I know.
Yes, I think I want to.
Who is he?
Well, he's a monk that I
really trust and respect.
Actually, he's writing a book
right now, nearby here.
Ok. Thank you.
- I think he can speak english.
- Oh, really? Great.
- Ok. Go this way.
- Should we go this way?
"Happiness for me
and my children."
You're treating
me so well.
It's our pleasure, cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Cheers.
- It's our pleasure.
- Thank you.
Anne.
Why are you
traveling alone?
But Im not alone.
I am with park.
But, you're from
France alone.
Yes, but... because I don't
have a husband anymore.
I see.
And my children, they are
traveling by themselves, so.
- How many children?
- Two.
Boy and boy.
You must miss them.
Yes, but they prefer to
be with their friends, so...
but they love
you very much.
Yes, but they have
their own life.
Park, can I borrow
your phone please?
I need to call them, and my phone
does not work well here. So...
- Ok. No problem. Here.
- Thank you.
International calls
will cost you.
That's right.
They're long calls, too.
Really?
- She has no sense of money.
- How come?
Her ex-Husband was
very successful.
I see.
Why did she get divorced?
He had an affair
with his employee.
Really?
- A Korean woman.
- My goodness!
So she's not fond
of Korean women.
- I'm sure she isn't.
- Can't blame her.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I'd like to pay for the phone, park.
I'm using it all the time.
- No, it's ok.
- No, it's not ok.
You've paid for so
many things already.
It's ok. You're
my guest here.
Yes, but... Id like to pay
for the phone, at least.
Let me pay for it, please.
- Ok. You pay it later.
- Ok. I'll pay for it.
- She has a quick wit.
- Quiet down.
Excuse me?
Why are you defending her?
I'm not. It's rude to say
that in front of her.
Is that so? I'm so sorry.
I hate when people do
that in front of foreigners.
Like you're such a saint.
- I'll add some more charcoal.
- Go ahead.
- How is the food?
- It's great.
Tastes much better on charcoal.
Do you like Korean food?
Oh, yes. I love Korean food.
It's hot? No?
Yes, some are...
a little bit too hot for me.
Ah, too hot, too hot.
Drink water.
Ok. I'll drink a lot
of water, then.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Enjoy your dinner.
- Thank you.
He's a lifeguard.
Really?
Don't know.
It says lifeguard.
I can swim well.
Can you swim?
- No, Im too old for swimming.
- No, you're not.
Why do you say that?
Ok. I'm not old.
You're so healthy.
You have a whole
life ahead of you.
No... well... not whole life.
Maybe... some life.
- Cheers!
- Cheers.
Wow. You're
drinking Soju well.
Yes, I like Soju.
Thank you.
- Cheers.
- Ok.
Anne.
- You are here.
- You're not sleeping.
Yes. She is pregnant,
you know.
Yes. You shouldn't
smoke inside.
Anne.
You know, you are
so beautiful.
- Yes?
- Yes.
- I think you are drunk.
- Yes, I am.
But you're the beautiful French
woman I always dreamed of.
Really?
- Thank you.
- It's true.
- You're so graceful.
- Oh, thank you. Jong.
Can I show you something
special over there?
What is over there?
It's secret. You have
to see it yourself.
- You want to come?
- Really?
- You want to go?
- Yes.
- Is your wife sleeping?
- Yes, yes. She's sleeping.
Then, show me what it is.
- It's over there.
- I know.
- Ok, let's go.
- Ok.
I'm ok.
Anne.
- Are you ok?
- Yes, Im ok.
- Are you drunk?
- I told you I am.
But you don't seem to.
You're just great.
You're so beautiful.
Oh, you really think so?
Yes, I swear!
You're incredible!
Oh, I cannot
believe you, Jong.
You should, you should
believe me, it's true!
Then show me what is
something special!
Oh, something special? Ok.
Is it you?
Yes. That's me.
- Really?
- Yes.
Honey! Honey!
What are you doing down there?
What are you doing up there?
What are you doing down there?
Huh?
Anne was curious about
the organisms out here...
get yourself up here right now!
Have some shame!
Anne. Come here,
come here.
Anne, maybe tomorrow.
It's too late. Isn't it?
- Yes.
- Ok.
Listen. We were smoking outside,
and she asked to see this.
Every time you drink...
you filthy dog!
How can you say that?
Anne, please tell her,
why we are here.
She is misunderstanding us.
Always chasing skirts
when you're drunk!
Anything in a skirt will do!
Anne, why are you here?
I came here to see something
special he wanted to show me.
What is something special?
I don't know. Ask him.
- Don't come inside!
- Hey...
don't you dare come inside!
Oh! These Korean men!
What can we do about
this Korean man,
They are all crazy
about only sex!
You have to be careful
for those kind of men!
I didn't know!
Anne.
Anne.
Bye.
It's so depressing.
- Why?
- There is nothing here.
Stop thinking
about your husband.
- He's gone. Gone for good.
- I know.
Help me. You should
occupy yourself.
- But it's clean.
- I know. Clean more. There.
She told me
you're a great man.
Oh, Im not a great man.
I'm just a monk.
I told her that I
respect you very much.
Oh, she told me that you
have questions to ask?
- Yes, I have.
- What questions, please?
Have you killed
someone in your life?
No.
Have you ever
done something
Terribly wrong to
someone in your life?
Yes, I have.
Have you ever
lied recently?
Well... uh... at least,
I don't wanna lie to you.
Thank you.
Then, tell me what is
your real question?
Do you know
why I have to lie?
You cannot help it,
you know it.
Why am I so miserable?
That also, I cannot help it?
Because you lie.
What do you know
about me?
Nothing.
Then why are you
telling me that I lie?
Because you told me so.
Why am I so afraid?
- Because you are afraid.
- But why am I so afraid?
Because you are afraid.
Don't you see?
- What do you mean?
- I mean nothing.
You're joking?
Oh, you want a meaning?
Here, here.
You can have it.
Oh, what is this playing with
words? Really... Im serious.
Are you serious?
I don't know you...
do you know yourself?
What is love for you?
Something you'll
love to do forever.
Why?
I don't know.
What is sex for you?
Something that I will have
trouble with until I die.
Should I be strong?
Yes. As much
as you will be.
Oh, you're not
helping me.
I'm sorry.
But may I ask you
one question?
Have you ever changed
since you were a child?
No. I think Im still
the same person as always.
I haven't changed.
I think so.
- You haven't changed.
- Is it good?
Well...
let me draw you.
You are the man who
loves his fountain pen.
Yeah, I am very
attached to this.
I cannot write, I cannot
do anything without this...
lovely pen,
this Mont Blanc.
Can you give it to
me as a present?
I'm using this
to draw you.
How about after
you finish it?
Ask me again
when Im finished.
Oh, ok. I will.
- Why do you need his pen?
- I will write something with it.
- I know. But why his pen?
- Because that's what I want.
Anne, your behavior
is not normal.
But you know,
he's made me do this.
Oh, don't move.
I'm drawing your face.
Beautifully.
- Hello.
- Hello.
I'm sorry, I cannot
find your umbrella.
- I've searched all over.
- Ah, it's ok.
Oh really? Oh, thank you.
You're so kind.
All Koreans are
kind to you.
Oh really?
Yes. Because
you're so beautiful.
- Oh, thank you very much.
- You're welcome.
Do you know a nice place around
here that I can go to?
Nice place?
Yes, I want to see
some nice place.
- We have a lighthouse.
- Oh!
It's small, but very
very beautiful.
How can I go there?
- I will show you. Let's go.
- Oh really? Thank you.
- Where are you going?
- I am going to a shop.
Good, I will buy
something too.
Why did you give
her the pen?
She was so upfront about it.
You could've said no.
It's expensive.
It was hard to say no.
How could you give
away my present?
I'm sorry.
I hope you get
this message.
I'm on my way to
the unknown path.
Thank you for
all the help.
Take a look at this.
This looks serious.
- Doesn't it?
- It's very serious.
It's cold.
Hello. It's ok?
- Oh, hello.
- Hello.
Is there a lighthouse?
- I don't know.
- No lighthouse?
What is lighthouse?
- Never mind.
- Never?
- Are you cold?
- No! I'm not!
But, you're shivering.
Shh?
Oh! You are
the lifeguard, right?
Yeah, yeah, yes.
I know you.
I know you too.
- Do you want to drink this?
- D... drink?
Oh, Soju? Yes.
Thank you, thank you.
- You like Soju?
- Yes. I like Soju.
Yes. Soju.
Ah, it's good!
Give it to me.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Yeah, it's good!
- You want to drink?
- Yes!
- Today, it's cold.
- Yes. It's very cold.
Yes, very cold...
Thank you. Let's go?
- Go?
- Go. Let's go.
Where?
Oh, Soju is good.
- Anne...
- Yes.
Have you seen
a foreign woman?
A foreign woman?
No, I haven't.
You're sure you haven't?
I didn't see any foreign woman.
I was just sleeping.
All right, then.
Let's go, sir.
West Blue Hotel
We're just here for
two days, mom?
Probably.
Maybe a week longer.
But I hope not.
What do you mean?
Are we moving here?
Let's believe your uncle.
He said he would
turn himself in.
Nothing about killing himself?
He wouldn't kill himself.
Remember?
I kept telling you not
to be his guarantor.
Of course. You warned
me a million times.
He's not even a human being.
How could he do this to us?
Your aunt married
the wrong man.
He's putting our family
out on the street.
Then he ran away
to save himself.
That's true.
Give me that cake.
So these things
really happen.
What am I doing here?
I'm going to fix
everything somehow.
Have faith in your mother.
I'm writing a script
to calm my nerves.
It was about a woman
running from debt.
Now it's about a charming
French visitor.
She will be a successful
French director,
Like the woman I saw
At the Jeonju film festival.
It's a small beach,
you like it?
Yeah. It's small, but,
it's beautiful.
What's its name?
What's it called?
It's Mohang.
Mohang beach.
Mohang...
- what does it mean?
- I don't know.
Does it have a meaning?
I don't think so.
Oh, be careful!
What kind of people
would do this?
- What?
- It's Soju Byung.
It's a Soju bottle.
A Soju bottle.
They're... it's crazy Koreans,
they're crazy about drinking.
Yes...
But they don't know... how to...
behave for the others.
Be careful. Be careful.
It's cool.
- How have you been?
- Good.
- Did you graduate?
- Not yet.
- But how old are you?
- Twenty-Five.
- I see.
- I'm taking time off.
Oh, her? She's very famous.
Anne, this is Won-Ju.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- She's so charming.
- You think so?
She's a French director.
- What?
- No. Nothing.
Ah, she said
you're beautiful.
- Oh, really? Thank you.
- You're welcome. It's true.
- Oh, you're very beautiful too.
- Thank you.
Yes, both of you
are beautiful.
- And me? What about me?
- What?
- What?
- Ah, no no.
You too. Let's go.
- More than Wonju?
- Of course.
More than Anne?
Of course! How can
you ask me that?
- Can I trust you on that?
- Don't be silly.
- She is talking about me?
- Yes. It's nothing.
- She thinks you're beautiful.
- Hmm... really?
No, I don't think
she was saying that.
I think so.
Ok. So we're all beautiful.
Let's go.
Thanks.
Thank you.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
Enjoy your stay.
She's taking a shower.
You remember our kiss?
What?
What kiss?
You don't remember our kiss?
A kiss?
In berlin. In a playground.
You don't remember?
- Oh. Yes. I remember. Sure.

So, it was just a kiss.
You know... just a kiss.

- Yeah, great. Yeah.
We are friends.
From now on, just friends.
- You know. Great friends.
- Yes, of course.
Yeah, we're ok. We're friends.
Don't worry.
You know...

Yes, you don't have to tell me.
I could see it by myself.

Anne.
Anne.
I'll make someday,
a film about this place.
Why?
Because, people here have
struggled long time.
They have suffered a lot.
Why?
I don't know why.
I'll find out why,
by making a film.
He never stops thinking about film.
He think about film 24 hours.
I can never do that.
- You think so?
- Yeah.
Do you do that too?
No. I'm very lazy person.
I can never do that.
I just think we have to do
what we have to do,
Not what we can do.
On the contrary, I think we
do only what we can do.
And that's the good way to think.
We cannot be responsible
that much, anyway.
Yes, we can.
If we try hard.
Yes, but if you can.
You will be responsible.
But if you cannot,
forget it. You cannot.
Anne. I think he's right.
We have to be responsible.
Ok.
Anyway, I think I can eat
this little cone snack,
I can really enjoy this.
- Oh, really? It's great.
- It's very tasty.
It's very cheap.
I love it.
And I love that tea you gave me
yesterday. It's really good.
Ah, you mean ginseng tea.
It's really good for your health.
I know.
I'd like to buy some before I go.
You think I can?
Oh, sure. I'll buy some
for you. It's very cheap.
Oh, really? It's cheap?
I didn't know.
Yes, it's very cheap.
And it's very good
for your health.
I'm lost. I'm lost.
How far is it? Who is it?
Please speak more slowly.
Can you take me there.
I will call you back.
- Glad to meet you.
- Glad to meet you too.
I bought the best
beef for you.
Thanks for a great meal.
You're treating
me so well.
I'm happy to be here.
If you're happy,
we're happy. You know?
You're so sweet, Jong!
Oh, it's Jongsoo.
Jongsoo.
Oh, Jongsoo.
I'm sorry.
- Cheers!
- Oh, cheers! Cheers.
- Tonight is our last night.
- I know, I know.
Do you miss
your country?
No. But I want to see
my family in France.
Yes, you're right.
Cheers! Anne, cheers!
Cheers.
You should pace yourself.
I'm not drinking a lot.
Don't worry.
Because you always
get sick afterwards.
You know better than that.
Okay. I got it.
I'm only saying...
this should be
enjoyable for everyone.
Is something wrong?
He shouldn't
drink like that.
He has a drinking
problem, you know.
Oh, really?
Yeah. He cannot
control very well.
Anne, it's ok. It's ok.
She is envious. Because
she cannot drink.
You crazy man!
Hey! Damn it.
I think we shouldn't
drink, Jong.
We're on vacation and
I can't even drink?
What did I do so wrong?
Honey. Calm down.
Control yourself.
Is that so hard?
Fine.
I think we shouldn't drink.
She doesn't like it.
Excuse me.
I'll change the charcoal.
- It's too strong.
- Thank you.
- Is everything cooking well?
- Yes.
Great.
- Anne, how are you?
- Ok.
- Do you know her?
- We met this afternoon.
Anne, can I see you
just a moment?
What?
I made a song for you.
It's a new song!
Oh, I see. It's ok.
- Really?
- No, Im with my friends.
Ah, really?
But I made it for you.
Can't you see us
drinking here?
I apologize.
Can I see you
just a moment?
Who's the manager here?
- Where's the manager?
- Is something wrong?
You're disrespectful and
you're bothering her.
I understand.
I have something for you.
- Do you want to see me? No?
- No. I don't want to see you.
Why should I?
I apologize.
Bye.
What did he even come for?
- Do you know him?
- No. I met him on the beach.
- Oh, really?
- He's a lifeguard.
- Ah, lifeguard.
- No. But I don't know him.
You know, there are so many
Korean men like that.
You see everywhere.
They just love foreign women,
they are so curious, you know?
I'm sick of them.
Really?
- I didn't know.
- You wouldn't know.
You have to be careful with
that kind of Korean men.
- Yes, Anne. He's right.
- Ok.
Be careful.
They're so different.
Different.
She is sleeping.
You drank a lot.
- Why did you wake up?
- Yes. I drank a lot.
Why?
Because you are
leaving today.
Oh, it's ok.
- We'll see each other.
- Yeah, I know.
- Is she sleeping?
- Yes. I saw her sleeping.
It's a beautiful morning.
- Anne.
- Yes?
- Can I kiss you?
- What?
I want to kiss you
for the last time.
- No. It's ok.
- You don't like me?
You're drunk.
I like to kiss you
for the last time.
Yes. But...
We're friends. As you said.
We'll be friends.
Really?
Anne!
- Where is my husband?
- He is there.
- Really?
- Yeah. He's over there.
Ok.
I will walk a little bit.
I'll come back soon.
- Be careful!
- Yeah. Thank you.
Hello.
Anne.
Aren't you cold?
- Cold? What cold?
- You are not too cold?
I'm not cold.
- You're a strong man.
- Thank you.
I came to say sorry
about yesterday.
- Yesterday?

Honey! Honey!
What are you doing down there?

Anne, maybe tomorrow.
It's too late. Isn't it?
- Yes.
- Ok.
Listen. We were smoking outside,
and she asked to see this.
Every time you drink...
you filthy dog!
How can you say that?
Anne, please tell her,
why we are here.
She is misunderstanding us.
Always chasing skirts
when you're drunk!
Anything in a skirt will do!
Anne, why are you here?
I came here to see something
special he wanted to show me.
What is something special?
I don't know. Ask him.
- Don't come inside!
- Hey...
don't you dare come inside!
Oh! These Korean men!
What can we do about
this Korean man,
They are all crazy
about only sex!
You have to be careful
for those kind of men!
I didn't know!
Anne.
Anne.
Bye.
It's so depressing.
- Why?
- There is nothing here.
Stop thinking
about your husband.
- He's gone. Gone for good.
- I know.
Help me. You should
occupy yourself.
- But it's clean.
- I know. Clean more. There.
She told me
you're a great man.
Oh, Im not a great man.
I'm just a monk.
I told her that I
respect you very much.
Oh, she told me that you
have questions to ask?
- Yes, I have.
- What questions, please?
Have you killed
someone in your life?
No.
Have you ever
done something
Terribly wrong to
someone in your life?
Yes, I have.
Have you ever
lied recently?
Well... uh... at least,
I don't wanna lie to you.
Thank you.
Then, tell me what is
your real question?
Do you know
why I have to lie?
You cannot help it,
you know it.
Why am I so miserable?
That also, I cannot help it?
Because you lie.
What do you know
about me?
Nothing.
Then why are you
telling me that I lie?
Because you told me so.
Why am I so afraid?
- Because you are afraid.
- But why am I so afraid?
Because you are afraid.
Don't you see?
- What do you mean?
- I mean nothing.
You're joking?
Oh, you want a meaning?
Here, here.
You can have it.
Oh, what is this playing with
words? Really... Im serious.
Are you serious?
I don't know you...
do you know yourself?
What is love for you?
Something you'll
love to do forever.
Why?
I don't know.
What is sex for you?
Something that I will have
trouble with until I die.
Should I be strong?
Yes. As much
as you will be.
Oh, you're not
helping me.
I'm sorry.
But may I ask you
one question?
Have you ever changed
since you were a child?
No. I think Im still
the same person as always.
I haven't changed.
I think so.
- You haven't changed.
- Is it good?
Well...
let me draw you.
You are the man who
loves his fountain pen.
Yeah, I am very
attached to this.
I cannot write, I cannot
do anything without this...
lovely pen,
this Mont Blanc.
Can you give it to
me as a present?
I'm using this
to draw you.
How about after
you finish it?
Ask me again
when Im finished.
Oh, ok. I will.
- Why do you need his pen?
- I will write something with it.
- I know. But why his pen?
- Because that's what I want.
Anne, your behavior
is not normal.
But you know,
he's made me do this.
Oh, don't move.
I'm drawing your face.
Beautifully.

Why did you give
her the pen?
She was so upfront about it.
You could've said no.
It's expensive.
It was hard to say no.
How could you give
away my present?
I'm sorry.
I hope you get
this message.
I'm on my way to
the unknown path.
Thank you for
all the help.
Take a look at this.

I was just sleeping.
All right, then.
Let's go, sir.
