1. 1

   A 순자야, 처음부터 다시 하자. 네가 들어와서 절하는 데부터. 오늘은 끝까지 한 번 가 보자고.

   Sunjaya, cheoeumbuteo dasi haja. Nega deureowaseo jeolhaneun debuteo. Oneureun kkeutkkaji han beon ga bojago.

   Sunja, let's go again from the top. From where you come in and bow. Let's get all the way through once today.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 알았어. 흠흠. "중전마마, 소인 문안 인사 올리옵니다. 밤새 옥체 강녕하셨사옵니까?"

   Arasseo. Heumheum. "Jungjeonmama, soin munan insa olliomnida. Bamsae okche gangnyeonghasyeotsaomnikka?"

   Okay. Ahem, ahem. "Your Majesty, your humble servant comes to pay her respects. Did Your Majesty rest well through the night?"

   Line 2
3. 3

   A "오냐, 김 상궁. 이른 아침부터 무슨 일로 날 찾았느냐?" ...야, 너 오늘은 대사 하나도 안 틀렸네?

   "Onya, gim sanggung. Ireun achimbuteo museun illo nal chajanneunya?" ...Ya, neo oneureun daesa hanado an teullyeonne?

   "Very well, Lady Kim. What brings you to me so early in the morning?" ...Hey, you haven't got a single line wrong today!

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 내가 누구냐. 어젯밤에 손녀가 녹음해 준 거 듣다가 잤어. 이어폰까지 꽂고.

   Naega nugunya. Eojetbame sonnyeoga nogeumhae jun geo deutdaga jasseo. Ieoponkkaji kkotgo.

   Who do you think I am? Last night I fell asleep listening to a recording my granddaughter made for me. Earphones and all.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 그다음 대사 해 봐. 교활한 상궁이 독 탄 찻잔을 왕비한테 올리는 장면.

   Geudaeum daesa hae bwa. Gyohwalhan sanggungi dok tan chatjaneul wangbihante ollineun jangmyeon.

   Do the next line. The scene where the scheming court lady offers the queen the poisoned teacup.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B "마마, 이 차는 소인이 직접 우린 것이옵니다. 한 모금만 드셔 보세요, 진짜 맛있어요."

   "Mama, i chaneun soini jikjeop urin geosiomnida. Han mogeumman deusyeo boseyo, jinjja masisseoyo."

   "Your Majesty, your servant brewed this tea herself. Just try a sip, it's really yummy."

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그럼 그렇지그려. '진짜 맛있어요'가 뭐야! 궁궐에 사는 상궁이 그런 말을 해? 거기는 '맛이 일품이옵니다'잖아.

   Geureom geureochigeuryeo. 'Jinjja masisseoyo'ga mwoya! Gunggwore saneun sanggungi geureon mareul hae? Geogineun 'masi ilpumiomnida'jana.

   I knew it. What's 'really yummy'? Would a court lady living in the palace talk like that? That line is 'Its taste is exquisite.'

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 아이고, 또 요즘 말이 튀어나왔네. 그놈의 '진짜'가 입에 붙어서 안 떨어져.

   Aigo, tto yojeum mari twieonawanne. Geunomui 'jinjja'ga ibe buteoseo an tteoreojyeo.

   Oh dear, the modern talk slipped out again. That darned 'really' is stuck to my tongue.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 괜찮아. 대사를 까먹거들랑 나를 봐. 내가 부채로 입 가리고 살짝 알려 줄게.

   Gwaenchana. Daesareul kkameokgeodeullang nareul bwa. Naega buchaero ip garigo saljjak allyeo julge.

   It's all right. If you forget your lines, look at me. I'll hide my mouth behind my fan and whisper them to you.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 고맙긴 한데, 그러면 네가 중전이 아니라 대본 읽어 주는 사람으로 보일걸. 객석에서 다 보여.

    Gomapgin hande, geureomyeon nega jungjeoni anira daebon ilgeo juneun sarameuro boilgeol. Gaekseogeseo da boyeo.

    Thanks, but then you'll look like a prompter, not a queen. The audience can see everything.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그건 그렇고, 마지막 장면 말이야. 복지관 선생님이 그거 누가 할지 우리 둘이 정하래.

    Geugeon geureoko, majimak jangmyeon mariya. Bokjigwan seonsaengnimi geugeo nuga halji uri duri jeongharae.

    Anyway, about the last scene. The teacher at the welfare centre says the two of us should decide who does it.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 그야 당연히 나지. 상궁이 무릎 꿇고 눈물로 죄를 고백하는 장면이 제일 극적이잖아.

    Geuya dangyeonhi naji. Sanggungi mureup kkulko nunmullo joereul gobaekaneun jangmyeoni jeil geukjeogijana.

    Well, me, obviously. The court lady kneeling and confessing her crimes in tears is the most dramatic part.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 무슨 소리. 연극은 왕비가 끝을 맺어야지. "죄는 미워하되 사람은 미워하지 말라" 하면서 용서하는 대사가 마지막이야.

    Museun sori. Yeongeugeun wangbiga kkeuteul maejeoyaji. "Joeneun miwohadoe sarameun miwohaji malla" hamyeonseo yongseohaneun daesaga majimagiya.

    What are you talking about? The queen has to end the play. The last line is where she forgives, saying 'Hate the sin, but not the sinner.'

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 그 대사는 너무 길어. 네가 그 긴 걸 다 외울 수 있어? 지난주에 두 번이나 까먹었잖아.

    Geu daesaneun neomu gireo. Nega geu gin geol da oeul su isseo? Jinanjue du beonina kkameogeotjana.

    That line's too long. Can you even memorise all that? You forgot it twice last week.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 너도 오늘 '진짜 맛있어요' 했잖아. 까먹는 걸로 따지면 우리 둘 다 할 말 없어.

    Neodo oneul 'jinjja masisseoyo' haetjana. Kkameongneun geollo ttajimyeon uri dul da hal mal eopseo.

    You said 'really yummy' today. If we're counting mistakes, neither of us has a leg to stand on.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 그럼 이렇게 하자. 오늘 끝까지 한 번도 안 틀리는 사람이 마지막 장면 하기.

    Geureom ireoke haja. Oneul kkeutkkaji han beondo an teullineun sarami majimak jangmyeon hagi.

    Then let's do this. Whoever gets through today without a single mistake gets the last scene.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 좋아, 내기다. 대신 요즘 말 튀어나오면 바로 탈락이야. 무대에서 망신당하기 싫으면 정신 바짝 차려.

    Joa, naegida. Daesin yojeum mal twieonaomyeon baro tallagiya. Mudaeeseo mangsindanghagi sireumyeon jeongsin bajjak charyeo.

    Fine, it's a bet. But if a modern word slips out, you're out on the spot. If you don't want to embarrass yourself on stage, stay sharp.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 오케이. ...아니, 아니. "분부대로 하겠사옵니다, 마마."

    Okei. ...Ani, ani. "Bunbudaero hagetsaomnida, mama."

    Okay. ...No, no. "As Your Majesty commands."

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 하하, 방금 '오케이' 했지? 시작도 안 했는데 탈락이네그려.

    Haha, banggeum 'okei' haetji? Sijakdo an haenneunde tallaginegeuryeo.

    Ha ha, you just said 'okay,' didn't you? You're out before we've even started.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 그건 연습 시작 전이니까 무효야! 연극 시작하고부터 세는 거지.

    Geugeon yeonseup sijak jeoninikka muhyoya! Yeongeuk sijakagobuteo seneun geoji.

    That was before the rehearsal started, so it doesn't count! We count from when the play begins.

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 억지 부리기는. 좋아, 봐준다. 대신 마지막 장면은 네 고백 다음에 내 용서를 바로 붙이자. 둘이 같이 무대에 있는 걸로.

    Eokji burigineun. Joa, bwajunda. Daesin majimak jangmyeoneun ne gobaek daeume nae yongseoreul baro buchija. Duri gachi mudaee inneun geollo.

    You're being ridiculous. Fine, I'll let it go. But in the last scene, let's put my forgiveness straight after your confession. With both of us on stage together.

    Line 21
22. 22

    B 그게 좋겠네그려. 너랑 나랑 손잡고 끝내면 관객들도 다 울겠다. 자, 다시 처음부터!

    Geuge jokennegeuryeo. Neorang narang sonjapgo kkeunnaemyeon gwangaekdeuldo da ulgetda. Ja, dasi cheoeumbuteo!

    Now that's a fine idea. If you and I end it hand in hand, the whole audience will cry. Right, from the top again!

    Line 22
