1. 1

   A 지훈아, 이리 와서 앉아 봐라. 할머니가 너 주려고 오늘 이걸 꺼내 왔다.

   Jihuna, iri waseo anja bwara. Halmeoniga neo juryeogo oneul igeol kkeonae watda.

   Jihun, come here and sit down. Grandma's brought something out today to give you.

   Line 1
2. 2

   C 이게 뭐예요, 할머니? 통장이에요? 제 이름이 적혀 있네요.

   Ige mwoyeyo, halmeoni? Tongjangieyo? Je ireumi jeokyeo inneyo.

   What's this, Grandma? A bankbook? It's got my name on it.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 네가 태어난 달부터 한 달에 오만 원씩 부은 적금이다. 십칠 년 동안 한 번도 안 빼먹었어. 이자까지 천이백만 원쯤 될 거다.

   Nega taeeonan dalbuteo han dare oman wonssik bueun jeokgeumida. Sipchil nyeon dongan han beondo an ppaemeogeosseo. Ijakkaji cheonibaengman wonjjeum doel geoda.

   It's a savings account I've paid fifty thousand won into every month since the month you were born. In seventeen years I never missed once. With interest, it'll be about twelve million won.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 어머님, 이걸 그동안 혼자 모으셨어요? 저희한테는 한 번도 말씀 안 하셨잖아요.

   Eomeonim, igeol geudongan honja moeusyeosseoyo? Jeohuihanteneun han beondo malsseum an hasyeotjanayo.

   Mother, you've been saving this all on your own all this time? You never once mentioned it to us.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 말하면 너희가 말릴 게 뻔하니까 그랬지. 이건 우리 금지옥엽 지훈이 대학 등록금이다. 주되, 등록금으로만 써라.

   Malhamyeon neohuiga mallil ge ppeonhanikka geuraetji. Igeon uri geumjiogyeop Jihuni daehak deungnokgeumida. Judoe, deungnokgeumeuroman sseora.

   If I'd told you, you'd only have tried to stop me. This is for our precious Jihun's university fees. I'm giving it to you, but it's for tuition only.

   Line 5
6. 6

   C 할머니, 진짜 감사해요. 근데... 혹시 그중에서 삼백만 원만 이번 겨울에 먼저 쓰면 안 될까요?

   Halmeoni, jinjja gamsahaeyo. Geunde... hoksi geujungeseo sambaengman wonman ibeon gyeoure meonjeo sseumyeon an doelkkayo?

   Grandma, thank you so much. But... is there any chance I could use just three million of it this winter?

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 지훈아! 할머니가 방금 등록금으로만 쓰라고 하셨잖아. 받자마자 그게 무슨 소리야?

   Jihuna! Halmeoniga banggeum deungnokgeumeuroman sseurago hasyeotjana. Batjamaja geuge museun soriya?

   Jihun! Grandma just said it's only for tuition. What are you on about, the second you get it?

   Line 7
8. 8

   C 엄마, 끝까지 들어 봐. 코딩 캠프가 있는데, 거기서 대학생 형들이랑 앱을 만들어서 대회에 나갈 수 있어. 참가비가 삼백만 원이야.

   Eomma, kkeutkkaji deureo bwa. Koding kaempeuga inneunde, geogiseo daehaksaeng hyeongdeurirang aebeul mandeureoseo daehoee nagal su isseo. Chamgabiga sambaengman woniya.

   Mom, hear me out. There's a coding camp where I could build an app with university students and enter a competition. The fee is three million won.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 삼백만 원이면 큰돈인데. 그런 건 대학 가서 해도 되는 거 아니냐?

   Sambaengman wonimyeon keundoninde. Geureon geon daehak gaseo haedo doeneun geo aninya?

   Three million is a lot of money. Isn't that something you could do once you get to university?

   Line 9
10. 10

    C 요즘은 대학 가기 전에 이런 경험이 있어야 원하는 과에 가요. 용돈을 모으려도 일 년도 넘게 걸리고, 아르바이트를 하려도 고등학생은 써 주는 데가 없어요.

    Yojeumeun daehak gagi jeone ireon gyeongheomi isseoya wonhaneun gwae gayo. Yongdoneul moeuryeodo il nyeondo neomge geolligo, areubaiteureul haryeodo godeunghaksaengeun sseo juneun dega eopseoyo.

    These days you need this kind of experience before university to get into the department you want. Even if I tried saving my pocket money, it'd take over a year, and even if I tried to get a part-time job, nobody hires high schoolers.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 어머님, 죄송해요. 얘가 요즘 코딩에 빠져서 밤마다 컴퓨터 앞에서 안 떨어져요. 그래도 등록금은 손대면 안 되지, 지훈아?

    Eomeonim, joesonghaeyo. Yaega yojeum kodinge ppajyeoseo bammada keompyuteo apeseo an tteoreojyeoyo. Geuraedo deungnokgeumeun sondaemyeon an doeji, Jihuna?

    I'm sorry, Mother. He's been obsessed with coding lately; he's glued to his computer every night. Still, you can't touch the tuition money, can you, Jihun?

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 가만있어 봐라. 지훈아, 그 캠프에서 뭘 만든다고?

    Gamanisseo bwara. Jihuna, geu kaempeueseo mwol mandeundago?

    Hold on. Jihun, what did you say you'd make at this camp?

    Line 12
13. 13

    C 아직 못 정했는데... 할머니 매일 약 드시는 거 자꾸 깜빡하시잖아요. 약 드실 시간 되면 큰 소리로 알려 드리는 앱 같은 거요.

    Ajik mot jeonghaenneunde... halmeoni maeil yak deusineun geo jakku kkamppakasijanayo. Yak deusil sigan doemyeon keun soriro allyeo deurineun aep gateun geoyo.

    I haven't decided yet, but... Grandma, you keep forgetting to take your medicine every day, right? Something like an app that tells you in a loud voice when it's time to take it.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 허, 기특하구나. 너희 할아버지도 기계 만지는 걸 그렇게 좋아했는데, 형편이 어려워서 공부를 끝까지 못 했어.

    Heo, giteukaguna. Neohui harabeojido gigye manjineun geol geureoke joahaenneunde, hyeongpyeoni eoryeowoseo gongbureul kkeutkkaji mot haesseo.

    Well, what a thoughtful boy. Your grandfather loved tinkering with machines too, but we were too poor for him to finish his studies.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 어머님, 그럼 이렇게 하시면 어떨까요? 삼백만 원은 쓰게 해 주시고, 나머지는 대학 갈 때까지 제가 따로 관리하면서 저희도 조금씩 보탤게요.

    Eomeonim, geureom ireoke hasimyeon eotteolkkayo? Sambaengman woneun sseuge hae jusigo, nameojineun daehak gal ttaekkaji jega ttaro gwallihamyeonseo jeohuido jogeumssik botaelgeyo.

    Mother, then how about this? Let him use the three million, and I'll look after the rest separately until he goes to university, and we'll add a little to it ourselves.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 좋다. 쓰되, 두 가지는 약속해라. 성적이 떨어지면 바로 그만두고, 쓴 돈은 영수증까지 엄마한테 다 보여 줘라.

    Jota. Sseudoe, du gajineun yaksokaera. Seongjeogi tteoreojimyeon baro geumandugo, sseun doneun yeongsujeungkkaji eommahante da boyeo jwora.

    All right. You can use it, but promise me two things. If your grades drop, you quit right away, and you show your mother every receipt for what you spend.

    Line 16
17. 17

    C 네, 약속할게요! 성적은 절대 안 떨어뜨릴게요. 엄마, 영수증은 사진 찍어서 바로 보낼게.

    Ne, yaksokalgeyo! Seongjeogeun jeoldae an tteoreotteurilgeyo. Eomma, yeongsujeungeun sajin jjigeoseo baro bonaelge.

    Yes, I promise! I won't let my grades drop, no way. Mom, I'll photograph every receipt and send it straight to you.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 사진 말고 종이로 모아 와. 그리고 빠진 삼백만 원은 네가 대학 가서 아르바이트해서 할머니 통장에 다시 채워 넣는 거야.

    Sajin malgo jongiro moa wa. Geurigo ppajin sambaengman woneun nega daehak gaseo areubaiteuhaeseo halmeoni tongjange dasi chaewo neonneun geoya.

    Not photos, keep the paper ones. And the three million you take out, you'll put back into Grandma's account from a part-time job once you're at university.

    Line 18
19. 19

    C 엄마, 그건 할머니가 말씀 안 하셨잖아. 할머니, 그것도 조건이에요?

    Eomma, geugeon halmeoniga malsseum an hasyeotjana. Halmeoni, geugeotdo jogeonieyo?

    Mom, Grandma never said that. Grandma, is that a condition too?

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 네 엄마 말이 맞다. 할머니 조건이 하나 더 있다. 앱은 만들되, 글씨는 크게 해라. 눈이 침침해서 작은 글씨는 안 보인다.

    Ne eomma mari matda. Halmeoni jogeoni hana deo itda. Aebeun mandeuldoe, geulssineun keuge haera. Nuni chimchimhaeseo jageun geulssineun an boinda.

    Your mother's right. And Grandma has one more condition. Make the app, but make the writing big. My eyes are poor and I can't see small print.

    Line 20
21. 21

    C 알겠어요, 제일 크게 만들게요. 제 목소리로 '할머니, 약 드실 시간이에요' 하고 알려 드리게 할까요?

    Algesseoyo, jeil keuge mandeulgeyo. Je moksoriro 'halmeoni, yak deusil siganieyo' hago allyeo deurige halkkayo?

    Got it, I'll make it as big as it goes. Should I have it tell you in my voice, 'Grandma, it's time for your medicine'?

    Line 21
22. 22

    A 그래라. 네 목소리면 할머니가 약을 한 번도 안 까먹겠다. 대신 주말마다 전화 한 통씩 하는 것도 잊지 마라.

    Geuraera. Ne moksorimyeon halmeoniga yageul han beondo an kkameokgetda. Daesin jumalmada jeonhwa han tongssik haneun geotdo itji mara.

    Go on, then. If it's your voice, Grandma will never forget her pills again. But don't forget to give me a call every weekend, too.

    Line 22
