1. 1

   A 준서야, 대추는 맨 왼쪽에 놔라. 그 옆으로 밤, 배, 감 순서대로. 벌써 일 년이 됐나. 엊그제 같은데.

   Junseoya, daechuneun maen oenjjoge nwara. Geu yeopeuro bam, bae, gam sunseodaero. Beolsseo il nyeoni dwaenna. Eotgeuje gateunde.

   Junseo, put the jujubes on the far left. Then chestnuts, pears and persimmons, in that order. Has it been a year already? It feels like the day before yesterday.

   Line 1
2. 2

   C 네, 할머니. 근데 할머니, 저 이따 할아버지께 드릴 말씀을 아직 하나도 못 썼어요.

   Ne, halmeoni. Geunde halmeoni, jeo itta harabeojikke deuril malsseumeul ajik hanado mot sseosseoyo.

   Okay, Grandma. But Grandma, I still haven't written a single word of what I'm supposed to say to Grandpa tonight.

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 아직도? 일주일 전부터 쓴다며. 이따 친척 어른들 다 모여서 할아버지 추모하는 자리인데 어쩌려고 그래.

   Ajikdo? Iljuil jeonbuteo sseundamyeo. Itta chincheok eoreundeul da moyeoseo harabeoji chumohaneun jariinde eojjeoryeogo geurae.

   Still? You said you were writing it a week ago. All the relatives are gathering tonight to remember Grandpa. What are you going to do?

   Line 3
4. 4

   C 쓰려고 앉으면 생각나는 게 없어. 할아버지는 맨날 신문만 보시고 말씀도 별로 없으셨잖아.

   Sseuryeogo anjeumyeon saenggangnaneun ge eopseo. Harabeojineun maennal sinmunman bosigo malsseumdo byeollo eopseusyeotjana.

   Whenever I sit down to write, nothing comes. Grandpa was always reading the paper and he hardly ever talked.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 그 양반이 말이 없긴 했지. 근데 너한테 할 말이 없어서 그랬겠나. 쑥스러워서 그랬지.

   Geu yangbani mari eopgin haetji. Geunde neohante hal mari eopseoseo geuraetgenna. Ssukseureowoseo geuraetji.

   He was a man of few words, that's true. But do you think it was because he had nothing to say to you? He was shy, that's all.

   Line 5
6. 6

   C 쑥스러우셨다고요? 할아버지가요?

   Ssukseureousyeotdagoyo? Harabeojigayo?

   Shy? Grandpa?

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 너 초등학교 이 학년 때 학예회 기억나나? 연극에서 나무 역할 했던 거.

   Neo chodeunghakgyo i hangnyeon ttae hagyehoe gieongnana? Yeongeugeseo namu yeokhal haetdeon geo.

   Do you remember your school show in second grade? When you played a tree in the play?

   Line 7
8. 8

   C 네, 대사 한 줄도 없는 나무요. 그날 할아버지는 안 오셨잖아요.

   Ne, daesa han juldo eomneun namuyo. Geunal harabeojineun an osyeotjanayo.

   Yeah, a tree with no lines at all. Grandpa didn't come that day.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 오셨어. 맨 뒤에 서서 보다가 끝나자마자 슬그머니 나가셨지. 네가 알면 부담스러워한다고.

   Osyeosseo. Maen dwie seoseo bodaga kkeunnajamaja seulgeumeoni nagasyeotji. Nega almyeon budamseureowohandago.

   He did come. He stood at the very back and slipped out the moment it ended. He said you'd feel the pressure if you knew.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 엄마, 그건 저도 처음 듣는 얘기예요. 아버지가 그러셨어요? 새삼스럽게 눈물이 나려고 하네요.

    Eomma, geugeon jeodo cheoeum deunneun yaegiyeyo. Abeojiga geureosyeosseoyo? Saesamseureopge nunmuri naryeogo haneyo.

    Mom, that's news to me too. Dad did that? It's making me tear up all over again.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 너도 몰랐지. 그 양반 지갑에 준서가 그린 그림이 아직 들어 있다. 그걸 얼마나 애지중지했는지 몰라. 이따 가서 봐라.

    Neodo mollatji. Geu yangban jigabe Junseoga geurin geurimi ajik deureo itda. Geugeol eolmana aejijungjihaenneunji molla. Itta gaseo bwara.

    You didn't know either. There's still a drawing of Junseo's in his wallet. You have no idea how he treasured it. Go and look later.

    Line 11
12. 12

    C 제 그림이요? 무슨 그림인데요?

    Je geurimiyo? Museun geurimindeyo?

    My drawing? What drawing?

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 자전거 그림. 너 자전거 처음 배울 때 할아버지가 뒤에서 잡아 줬잖아. 그때 그 양반 말투 기억나나?

    Jajeongeo geurim. Neo jajeongeo cheoeum baeul ttae harabeojiga dwieseo jaba jwotjana. Geuttae geu yangban maltu gieongnana?

    A bicycle. When you first learned to ride, Grandpa held on to the back for you. Do you remember how he talked back then?

    Line 13
14. 14

    C 아, 기억나요! 할아버지가 저한테도 옛날 말투로 말씀하셨어요. '넘어져도 괜찮네. 다시 올라타게.'

    A, gieongnayo! Harabeojiga jeohantedo yennal malturo malsseumhasyeosseoyo. 'Neomeojyeodo gwaenchanne. Dasi ollatage.'

    Oh, I remember! Grandpa talked to me the old-fashioned way too. 'No harm in falling, lad. Back on you get.'

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 맞아, 아버지는 누구한테나 한결같이 그 말투셨지. 손주한테도, 친구분들한테도.

    Maja, abeojineun nuguhantena hangyeolgachi geu maltusyeotji. Sonjuhantedo, chingubundeulhantedo.

    That's right, Dad talked that way to everyone, always. To his grandson, to his old friends.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 병원에 계실 때도 그랬다. 머리맡에서 내가 울면 '내 걱정은 말게, 나는 괜찮네' 하고. 괜찮기는 뭐가 괜찮아.

    Byeongwone gyesil ttaedo geuraetda. Meorimateseo naega ulmyeon 'nae geokjeongeun malge, naneun gwaenchanne' hago. Gwaenchankineun mwoga gwaenchana.

    He was like that in the hospital too. Whenever I cried at his bedside, he'd say, 'Don't you worry about me, I'm quite all right.' All right, my foot.

    Line 16
17. 17

    C 할머니, 그 얘기 이따 제가 해도 돼요? 자전거 얘기랑 같이요.

    Halmeoni, geu yaegi itta jega haedo dwaeyo? Jajeongeo yaegirang gachiyo.

    Grandma, can I tell that story tonight? Along with the bicycle one?

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 네가 해 주면 좋지. 그 양반이 듣고 뭐라고 하나? 하늘에서 또 쑥스러워하겠지.

    Nega hae jumyeon jochi. Geu yangbani deutgo mworago hana? Haneureseo tto ssukseureowohagetji.

    I'd love it if you did. I wonder what he'll say when he hears it? Up there being shy all over again, I expect.

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 준서야, 너무 길게 쓰려고 하지 마. 할아버지는 긴 말 싫어하셨어.

    Junseoya, neomu gilge sseuryeogo haji ma. Harabeojineun gin mal sireohasyeosseo.

    Junseo, don't try to make it too long. Grandpa didn't like long speeches.

    Line 19
20. 20

    C 알았어. 그럼 딱 세 문장만 쓸게. 할아버지 덕분에 넘어져도 다시 탈 줄 알게 됐다고.

    Arasseo. Geureom ttak se munjangman sseulge. Harabeoji deokbune neomeojyeodo dasi tal jul alge dwaetdago.

    Okay. Then just three sentences. That thanks to Grandpa, I learned to get back on when I fall.

    Line 20
21. 21

    B 좋네. 마지막은 할아버지 말투로 끝내 봐. 다들 웃으실 거야.

    Jonne. Majimageun harabeoji malturo kkeunnae bwa. Dadeul useusil geoya.

    That's nice. End it the way Grandpa talked. Everyone will laugh.

    Line 21
22. 22

    C 할머니, 그럼 마지막에 이렇게 해도 돼요? '할아버지, 제 걱정은 말게. 저는 괜찮네.'

    Halmeoni, geureom majimage ireoke haedo dwaeyo? 'Harabeoji, je geokjeongeun malge. Jeoneun gwaenchanne.'

    Grandma, can I end like this, then? 'Grandpa, don't you worry about me. I'm quite all right.'

    Line 22
23. 23

    A 아이고, 그 양반이 들었으면 '이놈 봐라' 했겠지만 속으로는 좋아했을 거다. 그렇게 해라.

    Aigo, geu yangbani deureosseumyeon 'inom bwara' haetgetjiman sogeuroneun joahaesseul geoda. Geureoke haera.

    Oh my, if he'd heard that, he'd have said 'Well, look at this rascal,' but inside he'd have been pleased. Do it that way.

    Line 23
24. 24

    B 자, 그럼 이제 지방 쓰자. 준서야, 붓 좀 가져와. 할머니 쓰시는 거 옆에서 잘 봐 둬.

    Ja, geureom ije jibang sseuja. Junseoya, but jom gajyeowa. Halmeoni sseusineun geo yeopeseo jal bwa dwo.

    Right, now let's write the spirit tablet. Junseo, bring the brush. Watch closely while Grandma writes it.

    Line 24
