   A 여보, 이것 좀 봐. 청소기가 또 멈춰 있어.

   Yeobo, igeot jom bwa. Cheongsogiga tto meomchwo isseo.

   Honey, look at this. The vacuum's stopped again.

   B 또? 아침에 내가 볼 때만 해도 잘 돌아가고 있었는데.

   Tto? Achime naega bol ttaeman haedo jal doragago isseonneunde.

   Again? It was running fine when I looked this morning.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 바퀴에 양말이 끼어 있잖아. 이거 자기 양말이지? 아무 데나 벗어 놓지 말라고 했잖아.

   Bakwie yangmari kkieo itjana. Igeo jagi yangmariji? Amu dena beoseo nochi mallago haetjana.

   There's a sock stuck in the wheel. This is yours, isn't it? I told you not to leave your socks just anywhere.

4. 4

   B 미안, 미안. 근데 청소기 잘못은 아니잖아. 양말이 문제지.

   Mian, mian. Geunde cheongsogi jalmoseun anijana. Yangmari munjeji.

   Sorry, sorry. But it's not the vacuum's fault. The sock's the problem.

5. 5

   A 이번 달에만 몇 번째야? 지난주엔 충전기 줄도 먹었잖아.

   Ibeon dareman myeot beonjjaeya? Jinanjuen Chungjeongi juldo meogeotjana.

   How many times is that this month? Last week it swallowed the charger cable too.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 그래도 이거 사서인지 바닥이 훨씬 깨끗해졌어. 머리카락이 하나도 없잖아.

   Geuraedo igeo saseoinji badagi hwolssin kkaekkeutaejyeosseo. Meorikaragi hanado eopjana.

   Still, maybe because we bought it, the floor's so much cleaner. There's not a single hair on it.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그건 인정. 나도 퇴근하고 청소 안 해도 돼서 편하긴 해.

   Geugeon injeong. Nado toegeunhago cheongso an haedo dwaeseo pyeonhagin hae.

   I'll give you that. It is nice not having to clean after work.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 그러니까. 이참에 요리를 한다거나 빨래를 갠다거나 하는 로봇도 하나 사면 어때?

   Geureonikka. Ichame yorireul handageona ppallaereul gaendageona haneun robotdo hana samyeon eottae?

   Exactly. While we're at it, why don't we get a robot that cooks or folds the laundry?

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 뭐? 요리까지 기계한테 맡기자고? 그건 좀 아니다.

   Mwo? Yorikkaji gigyehante matgijago? Geugeon jom anida.

   What? You want to hand the cooking over to a machine too? That's going too far.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 왜? 요즘은 재료만 넣으면 알아서 볶고 끓이는 기계도 있다고 하던데.

    Wae? Yojeumeun jaeryoman neoeumyeon araseo bokgo kkeurineun gigyedo itdago hadeonde.

    Why? I heard there are machines now that fry and simmer everything themselves if you just put the ingredients in.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그래도 음식은 사람이 해야 맛있지. 기계가 끓인 된장찌개는 왠지 싫어.

    Geuraedo eumsigeun sarami haeya masitji. Gigyega kkeurin doenjangjjigaeneun waenji sireo.

    Still, food tastes better when a person makes it. Doenjang stew made by a machine just doesn't feel right.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 그럼 빨래는? 빨래 개는 게 제일 귀찮다며.

    Geureom ppallaeneun? Ppallae gaeneun ge jeil gwichantamyeo.

    What about laundry, then? You said folding laundry is what you hate most.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 그건 좀 끌리네. 근데 그 로봇이 양말까지 먹으면 어떡해?

    Geugeon jom kkeulline. Geunde geu robosi yangmalkkaji meogeumyeon eotteokae?

    Okay, that's tempting. But what if that robot eats socks too?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 앞으로 양말은 내가 꼭 빨래 바구니에 넣을게. 약속!

    Apeuro yangmareun naega kkok ppallae bagunie neoeulge. Yaksok!

    From now on, I'll always put my socks in the laundry basket. Promise!

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 그 말 믿어도 돼? 일단 이 양말부터 좀 빼 줘.

    Geu mal mideodo dwae? Ildan i yangmalbuteo jom ppae jwo.

    Can I trust you on that? First, just get this sock out.
