1. 1

   B 할아버지, 진지 드셨으면 이것 좀 봐 주세요. 제가 만든 앱인데요, 논에 센서를 꽂으면 물 높이랑 온도가 휴대폰에 다 떠요.

   Harabeoji, jinji deusyeosseumyeon igeot jom bwa juseyo. Jega mandeun aebindeyo, none senseoreul kkojeumyeon mul nopirang ondoga hyudaepone da tteoyo.

   Grandpa, if you've finished eating, could you take a look at this? It's the app I made. You put sensors in the paddies, and the water level and temperature show up on your phone.

   Line 1
2. 2

   A 휴대폰으로 논을 본다고? 논은 발로 보는 거다. 그래서 나한테 뭘 해 달라는 거냐?

   Hyudaeponeuro noneul bondago? Noneun ballo boneun geoda. Geuraeseo nahante mwol hae dallaneun geonya?

   Watch the paddies on a phone? You watch paddies with your feet. So what is it you want from me?

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 내년 봄부터 할아버지 논 세 마지기만 시범 농장으로 빌려주세요. 임대료도 드리고, 수확이 줄면 제가 다 물어 드릴게요.

   Naenyeon bombuteo harabeoji non se majigiman sibeom nongjangeuro billyeojuseyo. Imdaeryodo deurigo, suhwagi julmyeon jega da mureo deurilgeyo.

   From next spring, lend me just three plots of your paddies as a pilot farm. I'll pay you rent, and if the harvest drops, I'll make up every bit of it.

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 물어 준다는 돈은 어디서 나오는데? 너 아직 월급도 제대로 못 받는다며.

   Mureo jundaneun doneun eodiseo naoneunde? Neo ajik wolgeupdo jedaero mot banneundamyeo.

   And where's the money to make it up coming from? I heard you still don't even get a proper salary.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 투자를 받았어요. 청년 창업 지원금도 받았고, 농업 전문 투자사에서 삼억 원을 넣기로 했어요.

   Tujareul badasseoyo. Cheongnyeon changeop jiwongeumdo badatgo, nongeop jeonmun tujasaeseo sameok woneul neokiro haesseoyo.

   I've got investors. I got a youth startup grant, and an agricultural investment firm has agreed to put in three hundred million won.

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 삼억? 그 사람들은 논에 발이라도 한번 담가 봤대? 흙도 안 만져 본 사람들이 벼를 안다고?

   Sameok? Geu saramdeureun none barirado hanbeon damga bwatdae? Heukdo an manjyeo bon saramdeuri byeoreul andago?

   Three hundred million? Have those people ever so much as dipped a foot in a paddy? People who've never touched soil think they know rice?

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 그래서 할아버지가 필요한 거예요. 할아버지는 오십 년 경험이 있으시고, 저는 기술이 있잖아요. 둘을 합치면 된다니까요.

   Geuraeseo harabeojiga piryohan geoyeyo. Harabeojineun osip nyeon gyeongheomi isseusigo, jeoneun gisuri itjanayo. Dureul hapchimyeon doendanikkayo.

   That's exactly why I need you, Grandpa. You have fifty years of experience, and I have the technology. Put the two together and it works, I'm telling you.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 좋다, 하나씩 물어보마. 새벽에 물꼬 볼 때 나는 물 높이만 보는 게 아니다. 물 색깔, 냄새, 개구리 소리까지 살핀다. 그 기계가 그걸 아냐?

   Jota, hanassik mureoboma. Saebyeoge mulkko bol ttae naneun mul nopiman boneun ge anida. Mul saekkkal, naemsae, gaeguri sorikkaji salpinda. Geu gigyega geugeol anya?

   Fine, I'll ask you one thing at a time. When I check the water gates at dawn, I don't just look at the water level. I check the colour of the water, the smell, even the frogs croaking. Does that machine know all that?

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 냄새는 못 맡아요. 대신 할아버지가 새벽마다 살피시는 걸 제가 옆에서 기록하려고요. 그러면 앱이 할아버지 눈을 배우는 거예요.

   Naemsaeneun mot matayo. Daesin harabeojiga saebyeongmada salpisineun geol jega yeopeseo girokaryeogoyo. Geureomyeon aebi harabeoji nuneul baeuneun geoyeyo.

   It can't smell. But I want to walk beside you every morning and record what you check. That way the app learns to see with your eyes.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 내 눈을 배운다라... 듣기는 좋다. 근데 농사는 변수가 한둘이 아니야. 비가 사흘 연달아 오면? 정전이 되면? 기계가 물에 잠기면?

    Nae nuneul baeundara... deutgineun jota. Geunde nongsaneun byeonsuga handuri aniya. Biga saheul yeondara omyeon? Jeongjeoni doemyeon? Gigyega mure jamgimyeon?

    Learns to see with my eyes... it sounds nice, I'll give you that. But farming has more unknowns than you can count. What if it rains three days straight? If the power goes out? If your machines get flooded?

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 센서는 방수가 되고 배터리로 한 달은 버텨요. 작년 장마 때 충남에서 시험했는데 하나도 고장 안 났어요.

    Senseoneun bangsuga doego baeteoriro han dareun beotyeoyo. Jangnyeon jangma ttae Chungnameseo siheomhaenneunde hanado gojang an nasseoyo.

    The sensors are waterproof, and the batteries last a month. We tested them in South Chungcheong during last year's monsoon, and not a single one broke.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 충남 논하고 김제 논은 흙부터 다르다. 바닷바람도 불고. 그래, 수확은 얼마나 늘 거라고 장담하냐?

    Chungnam nonhago Gimje noneun heukbuteo dareuda. Badatbaramdo bulgo. Geurae, suhwageun eolmana neul georago jangdamhanya?

    The paddies in South Chungcheong and the ones in Gimje are different right down to the soil. And we get the sea wind here. All right, how much do you guarantee the harvest will go up?

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 장담은 못 드려요. 다만 물이랑 비료를 아껴서 비용을 이십 퍼센트쯤 절감할 수 있다고 봐요.

    Jangdameun mot deuryeoyo. Daman murirang biryoreul akkyeoseo biyongeul isip peosenteujjeum jeolgamhal su itdago bwayo.

    I can't guarantee anything. But by using less water and fertiliser, I reckon we can cut costs by about twenty percent.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 허허, 장담 못 한다는 말이 오히려 믿음이 가네. 네 아버지는 서울 간다고 할 때 장담부터 하더니.

    Heoheo, jangdam mot handaneun mari ohiryeo mideumi gane. Ne abeojineun Seoul gandago hal ttae jangdambuteo hadeoni.

    Ha, the fact that you won't guarantee it makes me trust you more. When your father said he was off to Seoul, the first thing he did was make promises, and look how that turned out.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 아빠 얘기는 왜 또 하세요. 할아버지, 솔직히 제가 이 일을 한다고 했을 때 어떠셨어요?

    Appa yaegineun wae tto haseyo. Harabeoji, soljiki jega i ireul handago haesseul ttae eotteosyeosseoyo?

    Why bring up Dad again? Grandpa, honestly, how did you feel when I said I was going to do this?

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 솔직히? 서울에서 대학까지 나온 네가 농사 얘기를 들고 이 마루에 앉으리라는 생각은 못 했다.

    Soljiki? Seoureseo daehakkkaji naon nega nongsa yaegireul deulgo i marue anjeuriraneun saenggageun mot haetda.

    Honestly? I never once imagined that you, with a university degree from Seoul, would come and sit on this porch to talk about farming.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 저도 그래요. 근데 저는 할아버지 논에서 난 쌀을 먹고 컸잖아요. 이 일이 성공하리라고 믿어요. 아니, 믿고 싶어요.

    Jeodo geuraeyo. Geunde jeoneun harabeoji noneseo nan ssareul meokgo keotjanayo. I iri seonggongharirago mideoyo. Ani, mitgo sipeoyo.

    Me neither. But I grew up eating rice from your paddies. I believe this will succeed. No, I want to believe it.

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 믿는 건 좋은데, 농사는 믿음으로 짓는 게 아니다. 하늘이 반, 사람이 반이야. 그 앱은 하늘 몫을 어떻게 계산하냐?

    Minneun geon joeunde, nongsaneun mideumeuro jinneun ge anida. Haneuri ban, sarami baniya. Geu aebeun haneul mokseul eotteoke gyesanhanya?

    Believing is fine, but you don't farm on faith. It's half the sky, half the man. How does that app count the sky's share?

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 일기 예보랑 연동돼요. 그래도 틀리는 날은 있겠죠. 그런 날은... 할아버지 무릎이 더 정확하다는 거 저도 알아요.

    Ilgi yeborang yeondongdwaeyo. Geuraedo teullineun nareun itgetjyo. Geureon nareun... harabeoji mureupi deo jeonghwakadaneun geo jeodo arayo.

    It's linked to the weather forecast. There'll still be days when it's wrong. On those days... I know your knees are more accurate, Grandpa.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 이놈 봐라, 할아버지 무릎까지 데이터로 쓰려고? 좋다. 세 마지기는 어렵고, 두 마지기만 줘 보마. 내일 새벽 다섯 시에 물꼬 보러 같이 나가자. 네 기계가 뭘 배워야 하는지부터 보여 주마.

    Inom bwara, harabeoji mureupkkaji deiteoro sseuryeogo? Jota. Se majigineun eoryeopgo, du majigiman jwo boma. Naeil saebyeok daseot sie mulkko boreo gachi nagaja. Ne gigyega mwol baewoya haneunjibuteo boyeo juma.

    Listen to this rascal, you want to use my knees as data too? All right. Three plots is too much, but I'll let you try with two. Come out with me at five tomorrow morning to check the water gates. I'll show you what that machine of yours needs to learn first.

    Line 20
21. 21

    B 두 마지기요? 감사합니다! 다섯 시는... 네, 알람 세 개 맞춰 놓을게요.

    Du majigiyo? Gamsahamnida! Daseot sineun... ne, allam se gae matchwo noeulgeyo.

    Two plots? Thank you! Five a.m.... Right, I'll set three alarms.

    Line 21
22. 22

    A 그리고 투자했다는 그 사람들, 여기 한번 데려와라. 얼굴 좀 보자.

    Geurigo tujahaetdaneun geu saramdeul, yeogi hanbeon deryeowara. Eolgul jom boja.

    And those investors of yours, bring them here sometime. I want to see their faces.

    Line 22
23. 23

    B 투자자들을요? 그분들 여기 오시면 할아버지가 질문으로 다 쫓아내실 거잖아요.

    Tujajadeureuryo? Geubundeul yeogi osimyeon harabeojiga jilmuneuro da jjochanaesil geojanayo.

    The investors? If they come here, you'll chase them all off with your questions.

    Line 23
24. 24

    A 내 질문 하나 못 견디는 돈이면 내 논에 들일 수 없지. 삼억이 아니라 삼십억이라도 말이다.

    Nae jilmun hana mot gyeondineun donimyeon nae none deuril su eopji. Sameogi anira samsibeogirado marida.

    Money that can't stand up to one of my questions isn't coming into my paddies. Not for three hundred million, not even for three billion.

    Line 24
