1. 1

   B 저기요, 방금 조연출님이 뭐라고 하셨어요? 제가 이어폰을 끼고 있어서 못 들었어요.

   Jeogiyo, banggeum joyeonchullimi mworago hasyeosseoyo? Jega ieoponeul kkigo isseoseo mot deureosseoyo.

   Excuse me, what did the assistant director just say? I had my earphones in and didn't hear.

   Line 1
2. 2

   A 갑자기 규칙이 바뀌었대요. 무조건 둘이 짝을 지어서 나오라던가? 아무튼 혼자는 안 되고 옆 사람이랑 같이 하래요.

   Gapjagi gyuchigi bakkwieotdaeyo. Mujogeon duri jjageul jieoseo naoradeonga? Amuteun honjaneun an doego yeop saramirang gachi haraeyo.

   They've changed the rules all of a sudden. Something about everyone having to come on in pairs? Anyway, no solos - we're to team up with whoever's next to us.

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 옆 사람이면 저랑 선생님이요? 저희 십 분 뒤에 들어가는데요?

   Yeop saramimyeon jeorang seonsaengnimiyo? Jeohui sip bun dwie deureoganeundeyo?

   Whoever's next to us - you mean you and me? We go in in ten minutes!

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 저도 방금 알았어요. 저는 김대호예요. 올해 마흔여덟이고 회사 다니는데, 대학 때 꿈을 못 버려서 휴가 내고 왔어요.

   Jeodo banggeum arasseoyo. Jeoneun Gimdaehoyeyo. Olhae maheunyeodeolbigo hoesa danineunde, daehak ttae kkumeul mot beoryeoseo hyuga naego wasseoyo.

   I only just found out too. I'm Kim Daeho. I'm forty-eight and I work at a company, but I couldn't let go of my college dream, so I took the day off to come.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 전 한예지예요. 방송연예과에서 개그 공부하고 있어요. 근데 선생님, 저희 나이 차이가 한참 나잖아요. 뭘 같이 해요?

   Jeon hanyejiyeyo. Bangsongyeonyegwaeseo gaegeu gongbuhago isseoyo. Geunde seonsaengnim, jeohui nai chaiga hancham najanayo. Mwol gachi haeyo?

   I'm Han Yeji. I'm studying comedy in a performing arts department. But there's a big age gap between us. What could we possibly do together?

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 그게 우리 무기죠. 세대 차이로 콩트를 짜는 거예요. 제가 부장, 예지 씨가 신입 사원, 어때요?

   Geuge uri mugijyo. Sedae chairo Kongteureul jjaneun geoyeyo. Jega bujang, Yeji ssiga sinip sawon, eottaeyo?

   That's our weapon. We build a sketch out of the generation gap. I'm the department head, you're the new hire. How about that?

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 그건 너무 뻔해요. 심사위원들이 오늘만 열 번은 봤을 거예요. 반대로 가요. 배역을 뒤집어서 제가 젊은 사장, 선생님이 마흔여덟 살 신입.

   Geugeon neomu ppeonhaeyo. Simsawiwondeuri oneulman yeol beoneun bwasseul geoyeyo. Bandaero gayo. Baeyeogeul dwijibeoseo jega jeolmeun sajang, seonsaengnimi maheunyeodeol sal sinip.

   That's too predictable. The judges have probably seen it ten times today already. Let's flip it. We swap the roles: I'm the young CEO, you're the forty-eight-year-old new hire.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 마흔여덟 살 신입이라니, 제 얘기 같아서 벌써 웃기네요. 좋아요, 그걸로 가요.

   Maheunyeodeol sal sinibirani, je yaegi gataseo beolsseo utgineyo. Joayo, geugeollo gayo.

   A forty-eight-year-old new hire! It's so close to home it's funny already. Okay, let's go with that.

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 첫 장면은 면접이에요. 제가 '자기소개 삼십 초 안에 해 보세요' 하면 선생님이 군번부터 읊는 거죠.

   Cheot jangmyeoneun myeonjeobieyo. Jega 'jagisogae samsip cho ane hae boseyo' hamyeon seonsaengnimi gunbeonbuteo eumneun geojyo.

   The first scene's the interview. I say, "Introduce yourself in thirty seconds," and you start by reciting your army serial number.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 좋아요. 그럼 저는 '제가 대학 다닐 때는 삐삐라는 게 있었습니다' 하면서 끝까지 옛날 얘기만 할게요.

    Joayo. Geureom jeoneun 'jega daehak danil ttaeneun Ppippiraneun ge isseotseumnida' hamyeonseo kkeutkkaji yennal yaegiman halgeyo.

    Great. Then I'll say, "Back when I was at university, there was a thing called a pager," and go on about the old days to the bitter end.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 그리고 제가 요즘 말을 막 쓰는 거예요. '대호 씨, 그거 완전 킹받네요' 하면 선생님이 못 알아듣고요.

    Geurigo jega yojeum mareul mak sseuneun geoyeyo. 'Daeho ssi, geugeo wanjeon kingbanneyo' hamyeon seonsaengnimi mot aradeutgoyo.

    And I throw in loads of slang. I say, "Daeho, that's totally king-annoying," and you don't get it.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A '킹받다'가 뭐예요? 진짜로 모르겠는데요.

    'Kingbatda'ga mwoyeyo? Jinjjaro moreugenneundeyo.

    What's "king-annoying"? I genuinely don't know.

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 그 표정 그대로 하시면 돼요! 연기 안 하셔도 되겠는데요. '열받는다'를 세게 말하는 거예요.

    Geu pyojeong geudaero hasimyeon dwaeyo! Yeongi an hasyeodo doegenneundeyo. 'Yeolbanneunda'reul sege malhaneun geoyeyo.

    Just make that exact face! You won't even need to act. It's a stronger way of saying "it makes me mad."

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 그럼 저는 거기다 아재 개그로 받아칠게요. '킹받는다고요? 제가 왕년에 킹이었습니다. 왕년!'

    Geureom jeoneun geogida ajae gaegeuro badachilgeyo. 'Kingbanneundagoyo? Jega wangnyeone kingieotseumnida. Wangnyeon!'

    Then I'll hit back with a dad joke. "King-annoyed? Back in my heyday, I was the king - my wang-nyeon! Get it?"

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 와, 진짜 썰렁해요. 근데 그래서 웃겨요. 썰렁한 걸 끝까지 밀어붙이세요.

    Wa, jinjja sseolleonghaeyo. Geunde geuraeseo utgyeoyo. Sseolleonghan geol kkeutkkaji mireobuchiseyo.

    Wow, that's so lame. But that's what makes it funny. Push the lameness all the way.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 근데 예지 씨, 우리 몇 번이었던가요? 번호표를 어디 뒀는지 모르겠어요.

    Geunde Yeji ssi, uri myeot beonieotdeongayo? Beonhopyoreul eodi dwonneunji moreugesseoyo.

    By the way, Yeji, what number were we again? I can't remember where I put my ticket.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 제 번호가 이십칠 번이었던가. 아, 여기 있네요. 이십칠 번이요. 지금 이십사 번 들어갔어요.

    Je beonhoga isipchil beonieotdeonga. A, yeogi inneyo. Isipchil beoniyo. Jigeum isipsa beon deureogasseoyo.

    Was mine twenty-seven... oh, here it is. Twenty-seven. Number twenty-four just went in.

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 앞에 두 팀 남았네요. 솔직히 조마조마해서 손이 얼음장 같아요. 이 나이에 무대에 서는 게 창피하기도 하고요.

    Ape du tim namanneyo. Soljiki jomajomahaeseo soni eoreumjang gatayo. I naie mudaee seoneun ge changpihagido hagoyo.

    Two teams ahead of us. Honestly, I'm so nervous my hands are like ice. And it's a bit embarrassing to be up on stage at my age.

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 창피하긴요. 저희 과 교수님이 그러셨어요. 무대에서 제일 웃긴 사람은 진짜로 절박한 사람이라고요.

    Changpihaginyo. Jeohui gwa gyosunimi geureosyeosseoyo. Mudaeeseo jeil utgin sarameun jinjjaro jeolbakan saramiragoyo.

    Embarrassing? Not at all. My professor says the funniest person on stage is the one who's truly desperate.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 그럼 제가 제일 웃기겠네요. 휴가도 딱 하루밖에 없는데요.

    Geureom jega jeil utgigenneyo. Hyugado ttak harubakke eomneundeyo.

    Then I'll be the funniest. I've only got the one day off.

    Line 20
21. 21

    B 그 대사 넣어요! '휴가 하루 내고 왔습니다, 사장님!' 진짜 이야기라야 사람들이 웃어요.

    Geu daesa neoeoyo! 'Hyuga haru naego watseumnida, sajangnim!' Jinjja iyagiraya saramdeuri useoyo.

    Put that line in! "I took a day off to be here, boss!" People only laugh when it's real.

    Line 21
22. 22

    A 예지 씨는 순발력이 대단하네요. 어떻게 그렇게 빨리 생각해요? 저는 이십 년 동안 보고서만 써서 머리가 굳었어요.

    Yeji ssineun sunballyeogi daedanhaneyo. Eotteoke geureoke ppalli saenggakaeyo? Jeoneun isip nyeon dongan bogoseoman sseoseo meoriga gudeosseoyo.

    You're really quick on your feet, Yeji. How do you think so fast? I've spent twenty years writing nothing but reports - my brain's gone stiff.

    Line 22
23. 23

    B 선생님은 이십 년 치 이야기가 있잖아요. 저는 그게 없어서 부러워요. 우리 둘이 반반 섞으면 딱이에요.

    Seonsaengnimeun isip nyeon chi iyagiga itjanayo. Jeoneun geuge eopseoseo bureowoyo. Uri duri banban seokkeumyeon ttagieyo.

    You've got twenty years' worth of stories. I don't have that, and I envy you. Mix the two of us half and half and it's perfect.

    Line 23
24. 24

    A 좋아요. 어차피 처음 만난 사람끼리 십 분 만에 짠 거니까, 떨어질망정 웃기고 떨어집시다.

    Joayo. Eochapi cheoeum mannan saramkkiri sip bun mane jjan geonikka, tteoreojilmangjeong utgigo tteoreojipsida.

    All right. We're two strangers who threw this together in ten minutes anyway. Even if we fail, let's be funny while we're at it.

    Line 24
25. 25

    B 네, 선배님! 아, 이제부터 선배님이라고 부를게요. 무대에선 제가 사장이지만요.

    Ne, seonbaenim! A, ijebuteo seonbaenimirago bureulgeyo. Mudaeeseon jega sajangijimanyo.

    You got it, sunbae! Oh - I'm calling you sunbae from now on. Though on stage, I'm the boss.

    Line 25
26. 26

    A 좋습니다, 사장님. 아, 이십칠 번 부르네요. 갑시다. 왕년의 킹, 출근합니다!

    Joseumnida, sajangnim. A, isipchil beon bureuneyo. Gapsida. Wangnyeonui king, chulgeunhamnida!

    Very good, boss. Oh, they're calling twenty-seven. Let's go. The king of yesteryear, reporting for work!
