1. 1

   C 아이고, 이거 참... 혹시 아까 옆 테이블 네 명, 나가는 거 보셨어요?

   Aigo, igeo cham... hoksi akka yeop teibeul ne myeong, naganeun geo bosyeosseoyo?

   Oh, good grief... Did you happen to see the four at the next table leave?

   Line 1
2. 2

   A 네, 한 십 분 전에 나갔어요. 담배 피우러 나가는 줄 알았는데요.

   Ne, han sip bun jeone nagasseoyo. Dambae piureo naganeun jul aranneundeyo.

   Yes, they left about ten minutes ago. I thought they'd stepped out for a smoke.

   Line 2
3. 3

   C 계산을 안 하고 갔어요. 고기만 십이 인분에 소주가 여섯 병이에요.

   Gyesaneul an hago gasseoyo. Gogiman sibi inbune sojuga yeoseot byeongieyo.

   They left without paying. Twelve servings of meat and six bottles of soju.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 네? 어쩐지 한 명씩 나가더라고요. 처음부터 일부러 그러는 듯했어요.

   Ne? Eojjeonji han myeongssik nagadeoragoyo. Cheoeumbuteo ilbureo geureoneun deutaesseoyo.

   What? No wonder they left one at a time. It looked like they'd planned it from the start.

   Line 4
5. 5

   C 가방 하나 안 두고 간 걸 보면 작정한 게 맞아요. 이런 일이 올해만 벌써 세 번째예요.

   Gabang hana an dugo gan geol bomyeon jakjeonghan ge majayo. Ireon iri olhaeman beolsseo se beonjjaeyeyo.

   Judging by how they didn't leave a single bag behind, it was deliberate. This is already the third time this year.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 사장님, 저 아까 고기 사진 찍었는데 뒤에 그 사람들 얼굴이 다 나왔어요. 여기요.

   Sajangnim, jeo akka gogi sajin jjigeonneunde dwie geu saramdeul eolguri da nawasseoyo. Yeogiyo.

   I took a photo of the meat earlier, and their faces are all in the background. Here.

   Line 6
7. 7

   C 어디 봐요. 맞네요, 이 사람들! 이거 가게 SNS에 얼굴 다 보이게 올려 버릴까요?

   Eodi bwayo. Manneyo, i saramdeul! Igeo gage SNSe eolgul da boige ollyeo beorilkkayo?

   Let me see. Yes, that's them! Should I post this on the restaurant's social media, faces and all?

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 사장님 마음은 알겠는데, 그건 좀 위험할 것 같아요.

   Sajangnim maeumeun algenneunde, geugeon jom wiheomhal geot gatayo.

   I understand how you feel, but that could be risky.

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 뭐가 위험해? 잘못한 건 저 사람들인데.

   Mwoga wiheomhae? Jalmotan geon jeo saramdeurinde.

   What's risky about it? They're the ones who did wrong.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 얼굴을 올렸다가 명예 훼손으로 거꾸로 고소당하는 경우도 있어. 사실이어도 올린 사람이 책임을 질 수 있대.

    Eolgureul ollyeotdaga myeongye hwesoneuro geokkuro gosodanghaneun gyeongudo isseo. Sasirieodo ollin sarami chaegimeul jil su itdae.

    People have posted faces and ended up being sued for defamation themselves. Apparently whoever posts it can be held responsible, even if it's true.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 말도 안 돼. 그럼 사장님만 손해 보고 끝나는 거야?

    Maldo an dwae. Geureom sajangnimman sonhae bogo kkeunnaneun geoya?

    That's ridiculous. So the owner just takes the loss and that's it?

    Line 11
12. 12

    C 그러니까요. 저도 처음 두 번은 그냥 참았어요. 근데 번번이 이렇게 당할 수는 없죠. 이번에는 이 돈 꼭 받아 낼 거예요.

    Geureonikkayo. Jeodo cheoeum du beoneun geunyang chamasseoyo. Geunde beonbeoni ireoke danghal suneun eopjyo. Ibeoneneun i don kkok bada nael geoyeyo.

    Exactly. The first two times, I just let it go. But I can't keep getting burned like this. This time I'm getting that money back no matter what.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 그럼 경찰에 신고하세요. 돈을 안 낼 생각으로 먹고 도망가면 사기죄라서 경찰이 찾아 줘요. 저희도 목격자로 진술할게요.

    Geureom gyeongchare singohaseyo. Doneul an nael saenggageuro meokgo domanggamyeon sagijoeraseo gyeongchari chaja jwoyo. Jeohuido mokgyeokjaro jinsulhalgeyo.

    Then report it to the police. Eating and running off with no intention of paying counts as fraud, so the police will track them down. We'll give a statement as witnesses, too.

    Line 13
14. 14

    C 신고하면 정말 찾아 줘요? 사진 한 장 가지고요?

    Singohamyeon jeongmal chaja jwoyo? Sajin han jang gajigoyo?

    Will they really find them if I report it? With just one photo?

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 사진이 있으면 인상착의를 설명할 필요도 없으니까 훨씬 신속하게 찾는대요.

    Sajini isseumyeon insangchaguireul seolmyeonghal piryodo eopseunikka hwolssin sinsokage channeundaeyo.

    With a photo, there's no need to describe what they look like, so they find people much faster.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 아, 잠깐만요! 그 사람들 아까 들어올 때 예약했다고 했잖아요. 예약 명단에 전화번호 있지 않아요?

    A, jamkkanmanyo! Geu saramdeul akka deureool ttae yeyakaetdago haetjanayo. Yeyak myeongdane jeonhwabeonho itji anayo?

    Oh, wait! When they came in, they said they had a booking, remember? Isn't their phone number on the booking list?

    Line 16
17. 17

    C 맞다! 여섯 시에 네 명, 김 씨로 예약했어요. 전화번호가 남아 있을 거예요.

    Matda! Yeoseot sie ne myeong, Gim ssiro yeyakaesseoyo. Jeonhwabeonhoga nama isseul geoyeyo.

    That's right! Four people at six, under the name Kim. The number should still be there.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 잘됐다, 그럼 SNS에 올릴 필요도 없겠네. 사장님, 사진은 경찰한테 보내실 수 있게 제가 보내 드릴게요.

    Jaldwaetda, geureom SNSe ollil piryodo eopgenne. Sajangnim, sajineun gyeongchalhante bonaesil su itge jega bonae deurilgeyo.

    Great, so there's no need to post it anywhere. I'll send you the photo so you can pass it on to the police.

    Line 18
19. 19

    C 고마워요. 두 분 아니었으면 이번에도 손해만 보고 넘어갈 뻔했어요. 오늘 된장찌개는 서비스예요.

    Gomawoyo. Du bun anieosseumyeon ibeonedo sonhaeman bogo neomeogal ppeonhaesseoyo. Oneul doenjangjjigaeneun seobiseuyeyo.

    Thank you. If it weren't for you two, I'd have just swallowed the loss again. The doenjang stew tonight is on the house.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 감사합니다. 대신 사장님, 범인 잡아도 SNS에는 '먹튀 잡았다'까지만 올리세요. 얼굴은 빼고요.

    Gamsahamnida. Daesin sajangnim, beomin jabado SNSeneun 'meoktwi jabatda'kkajiman olliseyo. Eolgureun ppaegoyo.

    Thank you. But even when you catch them, only post 'Dine-and-dashers caught.' Leave the faces out.
