1. 1

   B 채원아, 너 요즘 갖고 노는 슬라임 있잖아. 그거 '말랑젤리' 맞지?

   Chaewona, neo yojeum gatgo noneun seullaim itjana. Geugeo 'mallangjelli' matji?

   Chaewon, that slime you've been playing with lately. It's "Malang Jelly," right?

   Line 1
2. 2

   C 응! 우리 반 애들 다 그거 해. 나 벌써 열두 통 모았어. 왜? 아빠도 해 보고 싶어?

   Eung! Uri ban aedeul da geugeo hae. Na beolsseo yeoldu tong moasseo. Wae? Appado hae bogo sipeo?

   Yeah! Everyone in my class has it. I've already collected twelve tubs. Why? Want to try it, Dad?

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 아니, 사실 이번 취재가 어린이 장난감 유해 성분 검사야. 안전 관리가 허술한 제품이 꽤 있거든. 그중에 말랑젤리도 들어 있어.

   Ani, sasil ibeon chwijaega eorini jangnangam yuhae seongbun geomsaya. Anjeon gwalliga heosulhan jepumi kkwae itgeodeun. Geujunge mallangjellido deureo isseo.

   No, actually my current story is about testing children's toys for harmful chemicals. Quite a few products are sloppy about safety. And Malang Jelly is one of the ones we're testing.

   Line 3
4. 4

   C 뭐? 말랑젤리가 왜? 그거 냄새도 좋고 반짝이도 잔뜩 들어 있는데.

   Mwo? Mallangjelliga wae? Geugeo naemsaedo joko banjjagido jantteuk deureo inneunde.

   What? Why Malang Jelly? It smells nice and it's full of glitter.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 냄새가 좋은 게 오히려 문제일 수도 있어. 그래서, 결과는 나왔어? 실험실에서는 뭐라던가?

   Naemsaega joeun ge ohiryeo munjeil sudo isseo. Geuraeseo, gyeolgwaneun nawasseo? Silheomsireseoneun mworadeonga?

   The nice smell could actually be the problem. So, are the results in? What did the lab say?

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 일차 결과만 나왔어. 붕소가 기준치보다 좀 높게 나왔는데, 아직 섣불리 말할 단계는 아니야. 다음 주에 재검사를 해 봐야 알아.

   Ilcha gyeolgwaman nawasseo. Bungsoga gijunchiboda jom nopge nawanneunde, ajik seotbulli malhal dangyeneun aniya. Daeum jue jaegeomsareul hae bwaya ara.

   Just the first round. Boron came out a bit above the safety limit, but it's too early to say anything for sure. We won't know till the retest next week.

   Line 6
7. 7

   C 붕소가 뭔데? 먹는 것도 아닌데 괜찮은 거 아니야?

   Bungsoga mwonde? Meongneun geotdo aninde gwaenchaneun geo aniya?

   What's boron? We don't eat it, so it's fine, isn't it?

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 손으로 오래 만지면 피부로 들어갈 수도 있어. 특히 손에 상처가 있을 때. 너 요즘 손이 자꾸 가렵다고 했지?

   Soneuro orae manjimyeon piburo deureogal sudo isseo. Teuki sone sangcheoga isseul ttae. Neo yojeum soni jakku garyeopdago haetji?

   If you handle it for a long time, it can get in through your skin. Especially when you've got cuts on your hands. Didn't you say your hands keep itching lately?

   Line 8
9. 9

   C 조금. 근데 그게 슬라임 때문인지는 아직 모르잖아.

   Jogeum. Geunde geuge seullaim ttaemuninjineun ajik moreujana.

   A little. But you don't know yet if that's because of the slime.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 맞아, 아직 몰라. 그러니까 결과가 나올 때까지는 우리 집에서는 일단 안 갖고 노는 걸로 하자.

    Maja, ajik molla. Geureonikka gyeolgwaga naol ttaekkajineun uri jibeseoneun ildan an gatgo noneun geollo haja.

    Right, we don't know yet. So until the results are in, let's just not play with it at home for now.

    Line 10
11. 11

    C 그럼 하린이는? 하린이는 서른 통도 넘게 있어. 내일 학교 가서 말해 줘야 돼.

    Geureom Harinineun? Harinineun seoreun tongdo neomge isseo. Naeil hakgyo gaseo malhae jwoya dwae.

    What about Harin? She's got more than thirty tubs. I have to tell her at school tomorrow.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 그건 안 돼, 채원아. 방송 나가기 전에는 아빠 취재 내용을 밖에 말하면 안 돼.

    Geugeon an dwae, Chaewona. Bangsong nagagi jeoneneun appa chwijae naeyongeul bakke malhamyeon an dwae.

    You can't, Chaewon. You're not allowed to tell anyone about my story before it airs.

    Line 12
13. 13

    C 왜? 하린이가 위험할 수도 있잖아. 아빠는 방송이 내 친구보다 더 중요해?

    Wae? Hariniga wiheomhal sudo itjana. Appaneun bangsongi nae chinguboda deo jungyohae?

    Why? Harin could be in danger. Is your show more important than my friend?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 그런 게 아니라, 결과가 확실하지도 않은데 소문부터 퍼지면 회사도 억울하고, 부모들도 괜히 겁을 먹어. 그러다 틀리면 파장이 커지고, 그건 아빠가 책임져야 돼.

    Geureon ge anira, gyeolgwaga hwaksilhajido aneunde somunbuteo peojimyeon hoesado eogulhago, bumodeuldo gwaenhi geobeul meogeo. Geureoda teullimyeon pajangi keojigo, geugeon appaga chaegimjyeoya dwae.

    It's not that. If rumours spread before the results are even certain, it's unfair on the company, and parents get scared for nothing. And if it turns out to be wrong, the fallout is huge, and I'm the one who has to answer for it.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 근데 자기야, 애들은 지금 이 순간에도 그걸 주무르고 있잖아. 확실해질 때까지 무작정 기다리는 게 과연 맞는 걸까?

    Geunde jagiya, aedeureun jigeum i sunganedo geugeol jumureugo itjana. Hwaksilhaejil ttaekkaji mujakjeong gidarineun ge gwayeon manneun geolkka?

    But honey, kids are squishing that stuff in their hands right this minute. Is just sitting and waiting till it's certain really the right thing?

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 그럼 기자가 확인도 안 된 걸 퍼뜨려? 그게 더 무책임한 거야. 한번 퍼진 소문은 주워 담을 수가 없어.

    Geureom gijaga hwagindo an doen geol peotteuryeo? Geuge deo muchaegimhan geoya. Hanbeon peojin somuneun juwo dameul suga eopseo.

    So a reporter should spread something that hasn't been confirmed? That's even more irresponsible. Once a rumour's out, you can't take it back.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 퍼뜨리자는 게 아니라, 채원이가 친구한테 '당분간 딴 거 하고 놀자' 정도는 말할 수 있잖아. 이유는 빼고.

    Peotteurijaneun ge anira, Chaewoniga chinguhante 'dangbungan ttan geo hago nolja' jeongdoneun malhal su itjana. Iyuneun ppaego.

    I'm not saying spread it. But Chaewon can at least tell her friend, "Let's play something else for a while." Without saying why.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 음, 이유를 말 안 하면 괜찮을 것 같긴 한데. 채원아, 너 비밀 지킬 수 있어?

    Eum, iyureul mal an hamyeon gwaenchaneul geot gatgin hande. Chaewona, neo bimil jikil su isseo?

    Hmm, I suppose that's okay if she doesn't say why. Chaewon, can you keep a secret?

    Line 18
19. 19

    C 하린이가 왜냐고 계속 물어볼 텐데. 그럼 나 거짓말해야 돼?

    Hariniga waenyago gyesok mureobol tende. Geureom na geojinmalhaeya dwae?

    Harin's going to keep asking why. Do I have to lie, then?

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 거짓말은 하지 말고, '엄마가 당분간 하지 말래'라고 해. 그건 사실이니까.

    Geojinmareun haji malgo, 'eommaga dangbungan haji mallae'rago hae. Geugeon sasirinikka.

    Don't lie. Just say, "My mom told me not to for a while." That's true.

    Line 20
21. 21

    C 난 말랑젤리 진짜 좋아하는데. 그래도 위험할지도 모르는 걸 가지고 놀 바에는 그냥 안 놀래. 손 가려운 것도 싫고.

    Nan mallangjelli jinjja joahaneunde. Geuraedo wiheomhaljido moreuneun geol gajigo nol baeneun geunyang an nollae. Son garyeoun geotdo silko.

    I really love Malang Jelly. But rather than play with something that might be dangerous, I just won't play at all. And I hate my hands itching.

    Line 21
22. 22

    B 우리 딸 기특하네. 결과가 괜찮게 나오면 아빠가 제일 먼저 말해 줄게.

    Uri ttal giteukane. Gyeolgwaga gwaenchanke naomyeon appaga jeil meonjeo malhae julge.

    That's my girl. If the results come back fine, you'll be the first to know.

    Line 22
23. 23

    C 나쁘게 나오면? 그럼 내 열두 통은 어떻게 해?

    Nappeuge naomyeon? Geureom nae yeoldu tongeun eotteoke hae?

    And if they're bad? Then what happens to my twelve tubs?

    Line 23
24. 24

    B 그럼 그 열두 통은 아빠 방송에 증거물로 출연하는 거지. 물론 채원이 이름은 비밀로 하고.

    Geureom geu yeoldu tongeun appa bangsonge jeunggeomullo churyeonhaneun geoji. Mullon Chaewoni ireumeun bimillo hago.

    Then your twelve tubs appear in my report as evidence. With your name kept secret, of course.

    Line 24
25. 25

    C 치, 내 슬라임은 방송에 나가는데 나는 못 나가? 그럼 출연료로 떡볶이 사 줘.

    Chi, nae seullaimeun bangsonge naganeunde naneun mot naga? Geureom churyeonnyoro tteokbokki sa jwo.

    Hmph, my slime gets to be on TV and I don't? Then pay me an appearance fee in tteokbokki.

    Line 25
