1. 1

   A 임자, 이리 좀 와 봐. 세탁기 내가 고쳤어. 기사 부르면 출장비만 삼만 원이라길래 유튜브 보고 내가 했지.

   Imja, iri jom wa bwa. Setakgi naega gochyeosseo. Gisa bureumyeon chuljangbiman samman woniragillae Yutyubeu bogo naega haetji.

   Come here a minute, dear. I fixed the washing machine. They said the call-out fee alone would be thirty thousand won, so I watched a video online and did it myself.

2. 2

   B 영감이? 그 세탁기를? 손재주깨나 있는 줄은 진작 알았지만, 기계까지 만질 줄은 몰랐네.

   Yeonggami? Geu setakgireul? Sonjaejukkaena inneun jureun jinjak aratjiman, gigyekkaji manjil jureun mollanne.

   You? Fixed the washing machine? Oh, I always knew you were quite the handyman, but machines too? Who knew.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 이것 봐, 소리도 조용하잖아. 배수 필터에 양말 한 짝이 끼어 있더라고. 그거 빼고 나사 몇 개 조였지.

   Igeot bwa, sorido joyonghajana. Baesu pilteoe yangmal han jjagi kkieo itdeorago. Geugeo ppaego nasa myeot gae joyeotji.

   Look, it's quiet now. There was a sock stuck in the drain filter. I took it out and tightened a few screws.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 아이고, 대단하셔라. 결혼 사십 년 만에 처음으로 우리 집에 기술자가 생겼네.

   Aigo, daedanhasyeora. Gyeolhon sasip nyeon mane cheoeumeuro uri jibe gisuljaga saenggyeonne.

   Oh my, how marvellous. Forty years married, and at last this house has a repairman.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 비꼬지 마. 이번엔 진짜야, 내가 장담해. 수리비 굳은 걸로 저녁에 짜장면이나 시켜 먹자고.

   Bikkoji ma. Ibeonen jinjjaya, naega jangdamhae. Suribi gudeun geollo jeonyeoge jjajangmyeonina sikyeo meokjago.

   Don't be sarcastic. This time it's for real, I promise you. Let's use the money we saved on repairs to order jajangmyeon tonight.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 그래, 돈깨나 아꼈네. 근데 영감, 발밑이 왜 이렇게 촉촉해?

   Geurae, donkkaena akkyeonne. Geunde yeonggam, balmichi wae ireoke chokchokae?

   Oh yes, you've saved us a fortune. But dear, why is it so damp underfoot?

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 응? 이건... 아까 필터 뺄 때 물이 좀 샌 거야. 걸레로 닦으면 돼.

   Eung? Igeon... akka pilteo ppael ttae muri jom saen geoya. Geollero dakkeumyeon dwae.

   Hm? That's... just a bit of water that leaked when I took the filter out. A quick wipe with a rag will do it.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 좀 샌 게 아니라 지금도 새고 있는데? 저기 봐, 다용도실 문턱을 넘어서 부엌까지 오고 있잖아.

   Jom saen ge anira jigeumdo saego inneunde? Jeogi bwa, dayongdosil munteogeul neomeoseo bueokkkaji ogo itjana.

   It didn't just leak, it's still leaking. Look, it's over the utility room doorstep and coming into the kitchen.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 어어, 이게 왜 이래. 필터를 덜 끼웠나? 분명히 꽉 돌렸는데.

   Eoeo, ige wae irae. Pilteoreul deol kkiwonna? Bunmyeonghi kkwak dollyeonneunde.

   Whoa, what's going on? Didn't I put the filter back in properly? I'm sure I screwed it tight.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 참 훌륭하기 짝이 없네. 삼만 원 아끼려다가 아랫집 천장까지 물어 주게 생겼어.

    Cham hullyunghagi jjagi eomne. Samman won akkiryeodaga araetjip cheonjangkkaji mureo juge saenggyeosseo.

    Oh, simply splendid. Trying to save thirty thousand won, and now we'll be paying for the downstairs ceiling too.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 아랫집 얘기는 왜 해! 호들갑 떨지 말고 수도부터 잠가. 밸브가 어디 있더라?

    Araetjip yaegineun wae hae! Hodeulgap tteolji malgo sudobuteo jamga. Baelbeuga eodi itdeora?

    Why bring up downstairs! Stop making a fuss and turn off the water. Where's the valve again?

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 밸브 위치도 모르는 기술자는 내 평생 처음 보네. 세탁기 뒤에 있어. 내가 잠글 테니까 영감은 걸레나 가져와.

    Baelbeu wichido moreuneun gisuljaneun nae pyeongsaeng cheoeum bone. Setakgi dwie isseo. Naega jamgeul tenikka yeonggameun geollena gajyeowa.

    A repairman who doesn't know where the valve is - that's a first in all my life. It's behind the washer. I'll turn it off; you go and get the rags.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 걸레는 또 어디 있는데? 빨리 말해 봐.

    Geolleneun tto eodi inneunde? Ppalli malhae bwa.

    And where are the rags? Quick, tell me.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 그것도 몰라? 고집깨나 부리면서 큰소리치더니 결국 이럴 줄 알았어. 베란다 선반 맨 위 칸에 있어.

    Geugeotdo molla? Gojipkkaena burimyeonseo keunsorichideoni gyeolguk ireol jul arasseo. Beranda seonban maen wi kane isseo.

    You don't know that either? All that stubbornness and big talk, and I knew it would end up like this. They're on the top shelf on the balcony.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 알았어, 알았어. 휴, 이제 물은 멈췄네. 필터 쪽 고무링이 삐뚤게 끼워져 있었구먼. 이것만 제대로 끼우면 끝이야.

    Arasseo, arasseo. Hyu, ije mureun meomchwonne. Pilteo jjok gomuringi ppittulge kkiwojyeo isseotgumeon. Igeonman jedaero kkiumyeon kkeuchiya.

    All right, all right. Phew, the water's stopped. The rubber ring by the filter was in crooked. Just put this in and it's done.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B '끝'이라는 말이 오늘만 세 번째야. 그 말 한 번 할 때마다 물이 한 바가지씩 늘어나는 것 같아.

    'Kkeut'iraneun mari oneulman se beonjjaeya. Geu mal han beon hal ttaemada muri han bagajissik neureonaneun geot gata.

    That's the third time today you've said "done." Every time you say it, there seems to be another bucket of water.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 그만 좀 놀려. 처음 해 보는 건데 이만하면 잘한 거지. 봐, 이제 한 방울도 안 새잖아. 기사 불렀으면 삼만 원인데, 짜장면값 빼도 남는 장사야.

    Geuman jom nollyeo. Cheoeum hae boneun geonde imanhamyeon jalhan geoji. Bwa, ije han banguldo an saejana. Gisa bulleosseumyeon samman woninde, jjajangmyeongap ppaedo namneun jangsaya.

    Stop teasing me. For a first try, that's not bad. Look, not a drop now. A repairman would've cost thirty thousand, so even after the jajangmyeon, we come out ahead.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 그래, 아주 남는 장사네. 젖은 걸레 세 장이랑 영감 체면은 빼고 말이야. 짜장면은 곱빼기로 시켜.

    Geurae, aju namneun jangsane. Jeojeun geolle se jangirang yeonggam chemyeoneun ppaego mariya. Jjajangmyeoneun gopppaegiro sikyeo.

    Yes, we've really come out ahead. Not counting three soaked rags and your pride, that is. Make my jajangmyeon a large.
