   B 엄마, 준우야, 할 얘기가 있어요. 두바이에 있는 병원에서 저한테 2년 계약을 제안했어요.

   Eomma, Junuya, hal yaegiga isseoyo. Dubaie inneun byeongwoneseo jeohante 2nyeon gyeyageul jeanhaesseoyo.

   Mom, Junwoo, I have something to tell you. A hospital in Dubai has offered me a two-year contract.

   Line 1
2. 2

   A 두바이? 거기가 어디라고 거길 가. 외국에서 혼자 어쩌려고.

   Dubai? Geogiga eodirago geogil ga. Oegugeseo honja eojjeoryeogo.

   Dubai? Do you know how far away that is? What are you going to do all alone in a foreign country?

   C 엄마, 그럼 나는? 나도 따라가야 돼?

   Eomma, geureom naneun? Nado ttaragaya dwae?

   B 아니, 넌 여기서 학교 다녀야 돼. 그래서 고민이야. 너를 보살펴 줄 사람이 있는지가 제일 걱정이야.

   Ani, neon yeogiseo hakgyo danyeoya dwae. Geuraeseo gominiya. Neoreul bosalpyeo jul sarami inneunjiga jeil geokjeongiya.

   No, you'd stay here for school. That's the problem. My biggest worry is whether there's anyone to look after you.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 그러니까 가지 마라. 간호사 일은 여기서도 할 수 있는데 굳이 거기까지 가야 되니?

   Geureonikka gaji mara. Ganhosa ireun yeogiseodo hal su inneunde guji geogikkaji gaya doeni?

   Then don't go. You can work as a nurse right here, so why go all that way?

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 엄마, 거기 월급이 지금 월급의 두 배가 넘어요. 집이랑 비행기 표도 병원에서 다 내 주고요.

   Eomma, geogi wolgeubi jigeum wolgeubui du baega neomeoyo. Jibirang bihaenggi pyodo byeongwoneseo da nae jugoyo.

   Mom, the pay there is more than double what I get here. And the hospital covers housing and flights too.

   Double? How much a month?

   B 한 달에 육백만 원 정도예요. 세금도 거의 없고요.

   Han dare yukbaengman won jeongdoyeyo. Segeumdo geoui eopgoyo.

   About six million won a month. And there's almost no tax.

   C 와, 그 월급이면 게임기를 매달 하나씩 사겠다.

   Wa, geu wolgeubimyeon geimgireul maedal hanassik sagetda.

   Whoa, with that salary you could buy a new game console every month.

   Line 9

    A 그 돈이면... 음, 2년이면 금방이긴 하지.

    Geu donimyeon... eum, 2nyeonimyeon geumbangigin haji.

    With that kind of money... well, two years does go by fast.

    B 엄마, 조금 전까지 반대하셨잖아요.

    Eomma, jogeum jeonkkaji bandaehasyeotjanayo.

    Mom, a minute ago you were against it.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 반대는 무슨. 우리 딸이 외국에서 인정받는 건데. 준우는 내가 와서 봐 주면 되지. 대신 매주 영상 통화는 해라.

    Bandaeneun museun. Uri ttari oegugeseo injeongbanneun geonde. Jununeun naega waseo bwa jumyeon doeji. Daesin maeju yeongsang tonghwaneun haera.

    Against it? Hardly. My daughter's being recognised abroad. I can come and look after Junwoo. But you'd better video call every week.

    Line 12

    C 할머니가 우리 집에 오시는 거예요? 그럼 매일 할머니 반찬 먹는 거예요?

    Halmeoniga uri jibe osineun geoyeyo? Geureom maeil halmeoni banchan meongneun geoyeyo?

    You're coming to live with us, Grandma? So I get your cooking every day?

    B 좋아하는 것 좀 봐. 엄마, 정말 괜찮으신지 천천히 생각해 보시고 말씀해 주세요.

    Joahaneun geot jom bwa. Eomma, jeongmal gwaenchaneusinji cheoncheonhi saenggakae bosigo malsseumhae juseyo.

    Look how happy he is. Mom, take your time and think about whether you're really okay with this, then let me know.
