1. 1

   A 엄마, 아니 재판장님. 통금 시간에 관한 일심 판결에 불복해 항소합니다.

   Eomma, ani jaepanjangnim. Tonggeum sigane gwanhan ilsim pangyeore bulbokae hangsohamnida.

   Mom - I mean, Your Honour. I hereby appeal the original ruling on my curfew.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 항소? 일심 판결이 언제 있었는데?

   Hangso? Ilsim pangyeori eonje isseonneunde?

   An appeal? When was there ever a first ruling?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 중학교 때 엄마가 '밤 열 시까지'로 정했잖아. 그게 일심이야. 이제 고등학생이고 시험도 끝났으니까, 사정이 달라졌어.

   Junghakgyo ttae eommaga 'bam yeol sikkaji'ro jeonghaetjana. Geuge ilsimiya. Ije godeunghaksaengigo siheomdo kkeunnasseunikka, sajeongi dallajyeosseo.

   In middle school you set it at ten p.m. That was the first ruling. Now I'm in high school and my exams are over, so circumstances have changed.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 좋아, 들어 보지. 청구 내용은?

   Joa, deureo boji. Cheonggu naeyongeun?

   All right, let's hear it. What are you asking for?

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 방학 동안은 열한 시 반까지. 내가 조사해 보건대, 우리 반 친구 열두 명 중에 열 명이 열한 시 넘어서 들어가.

   Banghak donganeun yeolhan si bankkaji. Naega josahae bogeondae, uri ban chingu yeoldu myeong junge yeol myeongi yeolhan si neomeoseo deureoga.

   Eleven-thirty during the holidays. According to my research, ten out of twelve friends in my class get home after eleven.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 표본이 너무 작고 치우쳐 있는데. 그 열두 명은 누가 골랐어?

   Pyoboni neomu jakgo chiuchyeo inneunde. Geu yeoldu myeongeun nuga gollasseo?

   That sample's too small and biased. Who picked those twelve?

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 내가. 그래도 증거는 또 있어. 증거 제1호, 이번 기말고사 성적표. 수학이 두 등급이나 올랐어.

   Naega. Geuraedo jeunggeoneun tto isseo. Jeunggeo je1ho, ibeon gimalgosa seongjeokpyo. Suhagi du deunggeubina ollasseo.

   I did. But I've got more evidence. Exhibit A: my final exam report card. Maths went up two whole grades.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 성적이 오른 건 인정. 근데 그게 밤늦게 다니는 거랑 무슨 상관이 있지?

   Seongjeogi oreun geon injeong. Geunde geuge bamneutge danineun georang museun sanggwani itji?

   I'll grant the grades went up. But what does that have to do with being out late?

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 열심히 한 사람한테는 보상이 있어야 공정하지. 그리고 증거 제2호, 위치 공유 앱. 내가 어디 있는지 엄마가 실시간으로 볼 수 있어.

   Yeolsimhi han saramhanteneun bosangi isseoya gongjeonghaji. Geurigo jeunggeo je2ho, wichi gongyu aep. Naega eodi inneunji eommaga silsiganeuro bol su isseo.

   It's only fair for hard work to be rewarded. And Exhibit B: a location-sharing app. You can see where I am in real time.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 제법 준비했네. 그럼 증인 신문으로 넘어가자. 이 얘기, 아빠한테도 했어?

    Jebeop junbihaenne. Geureom jeungin sinmuneuro neomeogaja. I yaegi, appahantedo haesseo?

    You've come well prepared. Then let's move on to questioning the witness. Did you tell Dad about this?

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 응, 어제 아빠 퇴근하자마자 제일 먼저 했어. 아빠는 내 편이니까.

    Eung, eoje appa toegeunhajamaja jeil meonjeo haesseo. Appaneun nae pyeoninikka.

    Yeah, the minute he got home from work yesterday. Dad's on my side.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 그래서, 아빠는 뭐라고 하던? 혹시 아빠가 엄마한테 물어보라던가?

    Geuraeseo, appaneun mworago hadeon? Hoksi appaga eommahante mureoboradeonga?

    So what did he say? Did he tell you to ask me, by any chance?

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 그 질문에는 진술을 거부할게. 변호사랑 상의하고 대답할 거야.

    Geu jilmuneneun jinsureul geobuhalge. Byeonhosarang sanguihago daedapal geoya.

    I decline to answer that question. I'll answer after consulting my lawyer.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 진술 거부는 피고인 권리지, 항소인 권리가 아니야. 그리고 네 변호사는 너잖아. 솔직하게 말해.

    Jinsul geobuneun pigoin gwolliji, hangsoin gwolliga aniya. Geurigo ne byeonhosaneun neojana. Soljikage malhae.

    Remaining silent is a defendant's right, not an appellant's. And your lawyer is you. Out with it.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A '엄마 판결에 따르겠다'고 했어. 근데 웃으면서 '열한 시 반은 좀 늦다'는 말도 했어.

    'Eomma pangyeore ttareugetda'go haesseo. Geunde useumyeonseo 'yeolhan si baneun jom neutda'neun maldo haesseo.

    He said he'd "abide by your ruling." But he also said, laughing, that eleven-thirty is a bit late.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 그럼 유일한 증인이 항소인한테 불리한 증언을 한 셈이네. 변호인이 증인을 잘못 고르셨어.

    Geureom yuilhan jeungini hangsoinhante bullihan jeungeoneul han semine. Byeonhoini jeungineul jalmot goreusyeosseo.

    So your only witness testified against you. Counsel chose the wrong witness.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 재판장님, 이의 있습니다! 증인은 웃으면서 말했으니까 진심이 아니었습니다.

    Jaepanjangnim, iui itseumnida! Jeungineun useumyeonseo malhaesseunikka jinsimi anieotseumnida.

    Objection, Your Honour! The witness was laughing, so he didn't mean it.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 이의 기각. 웃으면서 하는 말에 진심이 더 들어 있는 법이야. 그래도 준비는 성실했으니까 참작은 해 줄게.

    Iui gigak. Useumyeonseo haneun mare jinsimi deo deureo inneun beobiya. Geuraedo junbineun seongsilhaesseunikka chamjageun hae julge.

    Overruled. People often mean it most when they're laughing. Still, you prepared diligently, so I'll take that into account.

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 그럼 판결은? 빨리 선고해 줘. 심장이 너무 떨려.

    Geureom pangyeoreun? Ppalli seongohae jwo. Simjangi neomu tteollyeo.

    So what's the verdict? Hurry up and announce it. My heart's pounding.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 주문. 항소를 일부 인용한다. 방학 중 금요일과 토요일에 한하여 귀가 시간을 밤 열한 시로 한다.

    Jumun. Hangsoreul ilbu inyonghanda. Banghak jung geumyoilgwa toyoire hanhayeo gwiga siganeul bam yeolhan siro handa.

    The ruling: the appeal is granted in part. During the holidays, on Fridays and Saturdays only, the curfew is set at eleven p.m.

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 열한 시? 반은? 삼십 분은 어디 갔어?

    Yeolhan si? Baneun? Samsip buneun eodi gasseo?

    Eleven? What about the half? Where did my thirty minutes go?

    Line 21
22. 22

    B 조건도 있어. 위치 공유는 항상 켜 둘 것, 열 시에 문자 하나 보낼 것. 한 번이라도 어기면 원심대로 열 시야.

    Jogeondo isseo. Wichi gongyuneun hangsang kyeo dul geot, yeol sie munja hana bonael geot. Han beonirado eogimyeon wonsimdaero yeol siya.

    There are conditions, too. Location sharing on at all times, and one text at ten. Break the rules even once, and it's back to the original ruling: ten o'clock.

    Line 22
23. 23

    A 너무해. 재판장님, 선처를 부탁드립니다. 열한 시 반이 안 되면 열한 시 십오 분은요?

    Neomuhae. Jaepanjangnim, seoncheoreul butakdeurimnida. Yeolhan si bani an doemyeon yeolhan si sibo buneunyo?

    That's harsh. Your Honour, I beg for leniency. If not eleven-thirty, how about eleven-fifteen?

    Line 23
24. 24

    B 판결에 불만이 있으면 대법원에 상고해. 대법원장은 아빠야.

    Pangyeore bulmani isseumyeon daebeobwone sanggohae. Daebeobwonjangeun appaya.

    If you're unhappy with the ruling, take it to the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice is your dad.

    Line 24
25. 25

    A 아빠는 엄마 판결에 따른다고 했잖아! 이건 처음부터 짜고 친 재판이야.

    Appaneun eomma pangyeore ttareundago haetjana! Igeon cheoeumbuteo jjago chin jaepaniya.

    Dad already said he'd go with your ruling! This trial was rigged from the start.

    Line 25
26. 26

    B 항소인, 법정 모독이야. 그리고 오늘 설거지는 항소인이 한다. 이상 폐정.

    Hangsoin, beopjeong modogiya. Geurigo oneul seolgeojineun hangsoini handa. Isang pyejeong.

    Appellant, that's contempt of court. And the appellant does the dishes tonight. Court is adjourned.

    Line 26
