1. 1

   A 학생, 이 좁디좁은 원룸에서 보일러를 하루 종일 돌리면 보일러가 남아나겠어? 젊을 때는 차디찬 방에서 버티는 거야!

   Haksaeng, i jopdijobeun wollumeseo boilleoreul haru jongil dollimyeon boilleoga namanagesseo? Jeolmeul ttaeneun chadichan bangeseo beotineun geoya!

   Young lady, if you run the boiler all day in this teeny-tiny studio, how's the boiler supposed to last? When you're young, you tough it out in an ice-cold room!

   B 사장님, 창문 안쪽에 성에가 꼈어요. 제 입김으로 방을 데우라는 말씀이세요?

   Sajangnim, changmun anjjoge seongega kkyeosseoyo. Je ipgimeuro bangeul deuraneun malsseumiseyo?

   Sir, there's frost on the inside of the window. Are you telling me to heat the room with my breath?

   Line 2
3. 3

   C 저기요, 학생들. 문이 열려 있길래 잠깐 들렀어요. 밤 열 시에 이렇게 소리를 지르면 아래층에서 또 소음 때문에 전화 와요.

   Jeogiyo, haksaengdeul. Muni yeollyeo itgillae jamkkan deulleosseoyo. Bam yeol sie ireoke sorireul jireumyeon araecheungeseo tto soeum ttaemune jeonhwa wayo.

   Excuse me, girls. The door was open, so I popped in. If you shout like this at ten at night, I'll get another noise complaint from downstairs.

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 어, 사장님! 죄송해요. 저희가 유튜브에 올릴 콩트를 촬영하고 있었거든요.

   Eo, sajangnim! Joesonghaeyo. Jeohuiga Yutyubeue ollil Kongteureul chwaryeonghago isseotgeodeunyo.

   Oh, sir! We're so sorry. We were filming a comedy sketch for YouTube.

   Line 4
5. 5

   C 콩트? 방금 그 집주인 역할 말이에요? 설마 나를 풍자한 건 아니죠?

   Kongteu? Banggeum geu jipjuin yeokhal marieyo? Seolma nareul pungjahan geon anijyo?

   A sketch? You mean that landlord character just now? Surely it's not a send-up of me?

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 아니에요, 절대 아니에요! 그냥 세상에 흔한 구두쇠 집주인을 일부러 우스꽝스럽게 만든 거예요. 사장님은 보일러도 바로 고쳐 주셨잖아요.

   Anieyo, jeoldae anieyo! Geunyang sesange heunhan gudusoe jipjuineul ilbureo useukkwangseureopge mandeun geoyeyo. Sajangnimeun boilleodo baro gochyeo jusyeotjanayo.

   No, absolutely not! It's just your everyday stingy landlord, made ridiculous on purpose. You fixed our boiler right away.

   Line 6
7. 7

   C 그럼 다행이네요. 근데 솔직히 악역 연기가 영 어색해요. 요즘 집주인 중에 누가 그렇게 소리를 질러요?

   Geureom dahaengineyo. Geunde soljiki agyeok yeongiga yeong eosaekaeyo. Yojeum jipjuin junge nuga geureoke sorireul jilleoyo?

   Well, that's a relief. But honestly, the villain's acting is pretty stiff. What landlord shouts like that these days?

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 그럼 진짜 집주인은 어떻게 말하는데요?

   Geureom jinjja jipjuineun eotteoke malhaneundeyo?

   So how do real landlords talk?

   Line 8
9. 9

   C 진짜 무서운 집주인은 소리를 안 질러요. 웃으면서 조용히 말하죠. '요즘 관리비가 조금 올랐어요. 다들 힘드시죠?' 이렇게요.

   Jinjja museoun jipjuineun sorireul an jilleoyo. Useumyeonseo joyonghi malhajyo. 'Yojeum gwallibiga jogeum ollasseoyo. Dadeul himdeusijyo?' Ireokeyo.

   Really scary landlords don't shout. They say it quietly, with a smile. 'The maintenance fee's gone up a little lately. It's hard for everyone, isn't it?' Like that.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 헐, 소름 돋았어. 야, 이거 대본에 그대로 넣자.

    Heol, soreum dodasseo. Ya, igeo daebone geudaero neocha.

    Whoa, I've got goosebumps. Hey, let's put that straight into the script.

    Line 10
11. 11

    C 안 되겠네요. 그 역할은 내가 직접 해야겠어요. 집주인 삼십 년 차가 제대로 보여 줄게요.

    An doegenneyo. Geu yeokhareun naega jikjeop haeyagesseoyo. Jipjuin samsip nyeon chaga jedaero boyeo julgeyo.

    This won't do. I'd better play that part myself. Thirty years a landlord. I'll show you how it's done.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 네? 사장님이 그 배역을 직접요? 저희야 너무 좋죠!

    Ne? Sajangnimi geu baeyeogeul jikjeobyo? Jeohuiya neomu jochyo!

    What? You'd play the part yourself, sir? We'd love that!

    Line 12
13. 13

    C 대신 조건이 있어요. 촬영은 밤 아홉 시 전까지만 하고, 나를 너무 나쁘게 그리지는 마세요.

    Daesin jogeoni isseoyo. Chwaryeongeun bam ahop si jeonkkajiman hago, nareul neomu nappeuge geurijineun maseyo.

    But on one condition. Filming only before nine at night, and don't make me look too bad.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 네, 약속할게요. 그럼 방금 그 장면 한 번만 다시 가 볼게요. 저는 그대로 세입자 할게요. 레디, 액션!

    Ne, yaksokalgeyo. Geureom banggeum geu jangmyeon han beonman dasi ga bolgeyo. Jeoneun geudaero seipja halgeyo. Redi, aeksyeon!

    Deal, we promise. Then let's run that scene one more time. I'll stay the tenant. Ready, action!

    Line 14
15. 15

    C 학생, 요즘 날씨 참 춥죠? 방이 차디차서 어떡해요. 그래서 말인데, 다음 달부터 월세를 오만 원만 올릴게요.

    Haksaeng, yojeum nalssi cham chupjyo? Bangi chadichaseo eotteokaeyo. Geuraeseo marinde, daeum dalbuteo wolsereul oman wonman ollilgeyo.

    Cold weather lately, isn't it, dear? You must be freezing in here. Which brings me to this: from next month, I'll be raising the rent by just fifty thousand won.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 사장님, 방이 추운데 월세를 올리신다고요? 그건 좀 뻔뻔... 풉.

    Sajangnim, bangi chuunde wolsereul ollisindagoyo? Geugeon jom ppeonppeon... pup.

    Sir, the room's freezing and you're raising the rent? That's a bit rich... pfft.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 컷! 야, 너 또 웃었어. 벌써 세 번째야.

    Keot! Ya, neo tto useosseo. Beolsseo se beonjjaeya.

    Cut! Hey, you laughed again. That's the third time.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 미안. 웃음을 참으려도 참을 수가 없어. 사장님 표정이 영락없이 진짜 집주인 같아서.

    Mian. Useumeul chameuryeodo chameul suga eopseo. Sajangnim pyojeongi yeongnageopsi jinjja jipjuin gataseo.

    Sorry. I try to hold it in, but I just can't. He looks exactly like a real landlord.

    Line 18
19. 19

    C 진짜 같은 게 아니라 진짜예요. 나도 가게는 세 들어 있거든요. 작년에 건물주가 나한테 딱 그 표정으로 말했어요.

    Jinjja gateun ge anira jinjjayeyo. Nado gageneun se deureo itgeodeunyo. Jangnyeone geonmuljuga nahante ttak geu pyojeongeuro malhaesseoyo.

    It's not like the real thing. It is the real thing. I rent my shop, you see. Last year my building owner said it to me with exactly that face.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 와, 반전이다. 사장님, 그 얘기도 넣어도 돼요? 집주인도 누군가의 세입자였다, 이런 결말로요.

    Wa, banjeonida. Sajangnim, geu yaegido neoeodo dwaeyo? Jipjuindo nugungaui seipjayeotda, ireon gyeolmalloyo.

    Wow, what a twist. Sir, can we put that in too? An ending like: the landlord is somebody's tenant too.

    Line 20
21. 21

    C 좋지요. 대신 제목은 내가 정할게요. '좁디좁은 세상'. 어때요?

    Jochiyo. Daesin jemogeun naega jeonghalgeyo. 'Jopdijobeun sesang'. Eottaeyo?

    Why not. But I get to pick the title. 'It's a Small, Small World.' How's that?

    Line 21
22. 22

    B 사장님, 제목 너무 좋아요. 이러다 사장님이 저희 채널 주인공 되시겠어요.

    Sajangnim, jemok neomu joayo. Ireoda sajangnimi jeohui chaeneol juingong doesigesseoyo.

    Sir, that title's perfect. At this rate you'll end up the star of our channel.
