BOYHOOD
Introduce yourself.
I'm Jung Gyeong-tae, and I'm from Asan.
Nice to meet y'all.
Go take that empty seat.
Out of my way!
Go take that empty seat.
Yes, sir.
Is everyone here?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Y'all have a good day.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Jung Byeong-tae, Jang Gyeong-tae...
You and him got similar names.
Someone could confuse y'all just off your names.
Don't you agree?
How's it confusing?
I'm just saying.
You don't gotta get mad.
What a drama queen.
He's gotta be the real one.
Damn it.
Holy shit!
You scared the hell out of me!
What's wrong?
Jeez.
It's nothing.
White Tiger, we got--
What's wrong, White Tiger?
Just call me Byeong-tae.
White Tiger's just too much.
What do you mean, too much?
Those Technical High bastards
shudder when they hear White--
Shut up, will you?
What's with you?
Come on, let's just go.
Hey you, come here.
Did you really have to do that?
Do you smoke, new kid?
Answer me, bastard.
Do you smoke?
I ain't sure.
You ain't sure?
What's that supposed to mean?
You wanna die on your first day here?
You want it Muhammad Ali-style or Bruce Lee?
Answer me, you son of a bitch.
That's enough.
It ain't a crime to be a new kid.
Hey, you.
Go your way now.
- What was that? - Come on, cut him some slack.
He's here again.
I got a question.
Y'all mind if I smoke?
You messin' with us?
You didn't wanna smoke when we offered.
Just give him one.
Y'all got a lot.
Yeah, you're a smoker.
Two puffs and you're done?
Get the fuck over here.
God damn it.
Hey, stop it! You're gon' die!
We gotta teach him a lesson so he knows his place.
He's new and don't know anything.
Don't go around fighting on your first day.
Damn.
Look at the board.
These are the standard names of the parts of a pig.
Tenderloin, sirloin, pork butt.
- "Tenderloin, sirloin, pork butt." - "Tenderloin, sirloin, pork butt."
Pork picnic and ham.
- "Pork picnic and ham." - "Pork picnic and ham."
Pork belly and pork ribs.
Is it really him?
When y'all go to the butcher's,
don't just ask for pork.
Now that you know the different parts,
- you can be more specific. - Hey, that was mine.
Y'all gotta know this for your tests.
This is bound to come up.
Now go ahead and draw this picture of the pig.
Is it not him?

EPISODE 4. ONE FINE SPRING DAY
GANGSEO MINI SUPERMARKET
MIMI BAKERY
Welcome.
What's the cheapest bread here?
- Excuse me? - Your cheapest bread.
Oh, our cheapest bread?
The red bean bread is 300 won.
I see.
Thank you.
We'll bring it to your seat.
Okay.
- Mom, can I use this rag? - Yeah.
What is it?
It's nothing.
That was random.
Here you go.
The milk is on the house.
- Thank you. - No problem.
- Water, please. - Just a moment.
Mom, I got it.
Wait, where's the water?
In the kitchen.
I got all worried for nothing, didn't I?
That mama's boy can't be the White Tiger of Asan.
I didn't have to worry.
Let's just eat and go.
Holy shit!
What the hell?
"Jang Byeong-tae"?
You're in my class, right?
Who are you?
Right.
I guess you didn't recognize me.
Do you live here?
No, but my mom runs this place.
I see.
Goodness.
- I gotta thank you. - For what?
I got picked on on my first day and almost got in a fight.
Well, we all gotta help each other, don't we?
Anyway, thanks.
Don't mention it.
So you're Gyeong-tae's friend?
- He is. - We're not--
You should've told me.
I can't accept money from my son's friend.
- No, it's... - Have these too.
This is a lot of bread.
It's all yours.
Are y'all rich?
Fucking hell.
Why do we gotta hide here like rats?
It don't make sense.
That White Tiger is a fucking bastard.
He promised me he'd give up Seon-hwa.
Then he comes around with all his guys and beats the hell out of us.
Not to mention the cow shit.
I ought to take my monkey wrench and bust their damn heads open.
God damn it.
Why don't we get all our boys and invade their school?
That's right.
Two can play this game.
We got strength in numbers, don't we?
- Exactly. - Do you really think
the eleventh graders are gon' listen to us?
How many of them have we whooped and ripped off?
It ain't gonna work.
We just gotta knock out the head.
We gotta go for the White Tiger.
When?
Revenge is a dish best served hot.
Let's go and find the bastard now.
- Here. - I'm really okay.
Just take it.
This is so much bread.
Oh my.
Please help my son adjust to his new school.
Of course.
You two have similar names too.
Don't worry, ma'am.
Gyeong-tae seems like a good kid,
so he's gonna be fine.
- Take care. - Goodbye, ma'am.
Bye.
Bye, Mom.
Where'd you live before moving here?
I already told you.
I'm from Asan.
I also moved from Onyang not too long ago.
You did?
I see.
Where'd you live in Asan?
To be honest...
I don't quite remember...
What do y'all want?
- Nothing. - What?
I want something.
I'll kill you if you mention Seon-hwa again.
First of all,
let me pay you back for beating me up yesterday.
You see,
we weren't prepared yesterday.
Y'all got us by surprise barging in like that.
So don't think y'all beat us or gained the upper hand.
It ain't like that, okay?
Listen.
Y'all can do what you want to me.
But know that we gon' head over and beat y'all up again tomorrow.
Fine by me.
I'm gonna shatter one of your limbs so badly
that you ain't even gon' dream of revenge.
The thing about revenge is,
when it ain't done right,
it just leads to more revenge.
You run a bakery or something?
You're scared, aren't you?
When we heard you were the White Tiger who whooped the three top dogs
of Buyeo Agricultural High,
we did get a little scared.
But once we actually saw you,
our confidence started rising
for some reason.
Who are you?
You a beggar?
I've never seen you before.
You from Agricultural High too?
Answer me, you...
You scared or something?
You wanna fucking go?
Get a taste of me!
Who the hell are you?
I'm a baker's son.
Baker's son?
Get up, you bitches.
Y'all bastards should be plowing fields,
not going around fighting so damn well.
Anyway, I'm out.
Are you the White Tiger of Asan?
What the hell's that?
It's your nickname, ain't it?
Honestly,
I don't remember a damn thing after I hurt my head.
Then how'd you remember how to kick their asses?
I don't know.
My body just moved on its own.
This is drivin' me nuts.
Have a drink.
So...
do you really not remember anything?
No.
I see.
But not entirely.
I remember some things.
Like what?
How to read and write.
I also remember my mom.
And...
that my dad passed away.
That's about it.
That's a relief.
Why's it a relief?
I mean,
what a pity.
It really is.
It's a good day to drink.
My goodness.
Let me get this straight.
So he hurt his head real bad that day
and lost his memory.
Damn, this is crazy.
Actually, no.
This is a good thing.
It sure is.
The world is definitely revolving in my favor.
This is a good thing.
Remember what I said yesterday?
What y'all talking about?
Go around every class at lunch and take care of things.
What'd you tell us again?
That thing we talked about while eating.
He's talkin' about the money.
I don't know how it'll go since it's been a while.
We gotta make money somehow.
Y'all got this.
Just trust me, okay?
Aight.
This is the air cleaner.
- "Air cleaner." - "Air cleaner."
Coolant inlet.
- "Coolant inlet." - "Coolant inlet."
Y'all see this part?
This here is the starting gear.
Once it gets the crankshaft gear going,
the cam gear rotates at the same time and starts the engine.
Y'all will know the tractor's running properly
when the gears start turning on as the engine turns on.
Got it?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
That's it for today.
Attention. Bow.
- Thank you, sir. - Sure thing.
It's lunchtime!
All right.
It ain't fun eating alone.
Damn.
Look at that.
Is this a meal for a king or something?
I'm sorry, but I don't like sharing my food.
- Right. - Hope you understand.
Yeah, of course.
Eat up.
I'm all right.
Damn.
I like sausages,
but not with vegetables.
I see.
You don't got any meat?
Well...
I get sleepy when I eat meat.
- What's that? - There's none.
- They're mine. - Come on.
It's funny you lost your memory but still remember how snappy you are.
Listen up.
This won't take long.
Put your food down, dipshit.
Byeong-tae and Yeong-ho, y'all keep eating.
- Just eat. - Everybody else, listen up.
A couple of days ago,
we battled Technical High over the control of Buyeo.
Y'all can walk around downtown
and no one's gonna mess with you.
Y'all know that, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
It took a lot of effort and sacrifice
by Byeong-tae, Cheol-hong, Yeong-ho, Seung-ho, and others
to prepare for our battle.
We put in a lot of thought and hard work
to lead our school to victory,
but it also took a lot of money for preparations.
With that being said,
I'm suggesting
we all share the cost.
- Seriously? - I don't got money.
In exchange, y'all just tell us
if any bastards from other schools mess with you.
Then we'll rush over
and punish them good.
Got it?
Y'all fucking got it?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Then each of y'all bring 2,000 won by lunch tomorrow,
all right?
- What? - How much?
- I don't have 2,000 won. - That's so much.
- Is he serious? - This don't make sense.
But we brought cow poop.
I can still smell that cow poop on me.
- I know, right? - Seriously.
Jeez.
Shut the hell up and just eat, bastards.
God damn it.
RESTRICTED AREA
What the hell are you doing?
Y'all ripping kids off under my name?
Come on.
We have a reputation to live up to, you know?
We need the money to take girls out to eat.
So why are the others paying for y'all to spend on yourselves?
You also ate with us
when we had pork the other day.
You boasting about sharing one damn plate of pork?
We ain't trying to--
Screw this!
They ain't well-off, and their parents break their backs working.
Do they gotta give you what little money they have?
Y'all ever get ripped off?
Do you know how pathetic it feels?
They're poor, can't fight, and ain't smart.
Now y'all want to rip them off?
- It's-- - No!
Y'all are dead if I ever catch you ripping anyone off again.
Damn.
I'm getting braver now that things are going my way.
This is my world.
Damn.
You must be hungry.
This is for you.
We heard you talkin'.
You told them not to rip us off.
- I saw it. - Me too.
- Right. - Right?
- Byeong-tae, you ain't like the others. - He's right.
- You're different. - You sure are.
Ever since you came to our school,
it actually ain't been that bad.
And it felt good seeing y'all
- whoop them Technical High punks. - That's right.
School might actually be fun now!
I understand y'all better than anyone.
So don't worry.
Life won't feel unfair no more.
I honestly thought you weren't the White Tiger of Asan.
I heard your dad call you Bum-tae,
and you told him not to
because that's what the kids in Onyang...
You jackass!
What the hell are you saying?
So I was mistaken, but now I--
I'll beat your ass if I ever hear you say that again.
Got it?
Do you?
I'm sorry.
- What's wrong with you? - Did I say something wrong?
- You ruined it! - Yes!
- What's wrong with you? - I was trying to say
- Just shut up. - that I ain't mistaken now.
Dance is such an amazing thing, you know?
It brings you happiness and even health.
There ain't a disease it can't fix.
Look here.
JANG HAK-SU DANCE CLASS
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Two, two, three, four, five, six.
Three, two, three, four, five, six.
These six beats
can treat any ailment out there.
All the doctors know this too.
But you know why they keep quiet about it?
Because they don't wanna run out of business.
I'm willing to provide you ladies with this medical care
for only 10,000 won a month.
Unbelievable, ain't it?
But wait, there's more.
If you bring a friend,
I can cut your fee down to 5,000 won.
This is practically charity!
I couldn't do this without a deep sense of duty.
But first, I gotta thank Park Sang-gyo here,
whom I love the most in this world,
for lettin' me use this space.
If only his grandfather, Nakamura Park,
had not been a traitor,
Sang-gyo could've been someone like Buddha.
Hang on a sec.
Don't talk about that.
When you come in, make sure to come secretly.
And do the same when you leave.
Just keep that in mind.
Got it.
All right then, why don't we get started right away?
Shall we dance?
How do you like it?
Let's have a good 'ol time
Spin around and dance the night away
Let's have a good 'ol time
- Spin around and dance the night away - Dance away.
Move your body. That's it.
Let's have a good 'ol time
All right.
I swear I saved up more.
Where are you off to?
To see a friend.
Who?
Just a friend.
Exactly.
Which friend?
Are you a cop? Stop interrogating me.
You dipshit.
You got a habit of pissin' me off.
I just...
You wanna die or something?
Hang on.
Who taught you to talk to a man like that?
So you got a death wish?
Who on earth would have a death wish?
Hey.
Watch yourself, okay?
Look at you minding someone else's business.
You gon' get whooped
and come home crying about how much you wanna die again.
Why'd you bring that up? I barely managed to forget it!
Exactly!
Damn.
Oh, right.
Once you go out,
you'll probably see one of your pathetic ass friends.
Tell him
that if I catch him peeping again,
I'm gon' pluck his damn eyes out.
God damn it.
I don't wanna.
You little shit.
What are your hobbies, Seon-hwa?
Hobbies?
- Reading. - Reading?
What an elegant hobby.
Sometimes I listen to classical music on my record player.
Classical music?
Like Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.
That's about it.
You're so elegant.
So where did you learn how to dance?
Me?
It's just so interesting.
How did you imitate Park Nam-jung's dance so well?
Come on, I didn't.
My dancing skills
were born of sorrow.
I got beat up whenever I went out.
So I stayed home all the time.
Thankfully, I had my dad's videotapes.
They became my friends and part of my spirit.
It's not that I liked dancing.
But I couldn't go out,
so I just danced.
Careful.
- There you go. - Come on, tell me.
How did you imitate Park Nam-jung's dance so well?
Well, you see,
people call it "talent."
I can't explain it.
My body just moves on its own.
- Like this. - What?
- Just like this. - Oh my.
- That's so cool. - I can do a body roll as well.
Teach me.
- And this. - I want to try.
Come on.
It won't be easy.
Come on.
- You wanna try? - Yeah.
Imagine you're a tractor.
- Okay. - Start the engine.
- And then, - Yeah?
step back when the engine starts.
Like this?
You better not look at me like that.
Why?
I feel like I'm gonna melt.
What was that?
Watch yourself, okay?
Ji-yeong,
how can I let go of such happiness?
I can't do it.
You ever have the dumplings here?
I don't like dumplings.
Okay, let's go somewhere else then.
What about gimbap?
- No? - Byeong-tae!
Just keep it moving.
Byeong-tae, I'm rootin' for you!
Just get going already.
Sorry about that.
They're so embarrassing.
CHINESE FOOD
What about jjajangmyeon?
Jjajangmyeon?
Can we eat something else?
Like what?
The pork cutlet costs 1,200 won.
That's the cheapest thing.
How is that the cheapest?
This is drivin' me nuts.
Two pork cutlets, please.
Yes, sir.
I need to use the bathroom.
Okay.
I might take a while, so you just eat first.
- Out of my way. - Oh my!
I'm sorry!
- Darn it! - Jeez.
I'm sorry but I gotta go.
Sledgehammer! Hey!
- Hey! - Why are you here?
Y'all got money?
I got 800 won.
That won't do. What about you?
- I'm out. - That's all you got?
- Yeah. - Damn it.
That won't do.
What the hell am I supposed to do?
I spent all my allowance playin' around with you.
Damn it!
- You know I trust y'all, right? - Yeah.
Could y'all get me 2,000 won right now?
How would we do that?
- You told us not to rip off-- - I'll pay it back this month.
Go get 2,000 won
and bring it to me at Washington, okay?
I need to get going.
- But... - What do we do?
Hey!
Get it to me without Seon-hwa knowing, okay?
She's not cheap to date, is she?
I'm counting on y'all.
I need 2,000 won right now!
Got it? I'm off!
How do we get it?
I'm gon' lose my mind.
What do we do?
Hey, new kid.
You play pool?
Well, look at you.
Did you wait long?
Goodness.
We didn't order...
- It looks good. - The cutlet's coming.
Oh, I see.
Eat up.
Let's eat.
I realized we still haven't given you a proper welcome yet.
You should thank Byeong-tae.
If it wasn't for him,
you wouldn't be walkin' properly.
We never ripped anyone off
since Byeong-tae came here.
But tonight, he made a special request.
So hand over all the money you got right now.
Byeong-tae?
What did he ask for?
He's on a date with Seon-hwa
but ain't got enough money.
He's short of about 2,000 won.
But 1,200 won
ain't enough.
What the hell are you doing?
Look at this asshole's eyes.
What you starin' at?
Shit.
Borrow, if you need money.
Stealing ain't it.
All right.
That was smart.
You caught us off guard.
You gon' die.
Bring it on!
I don't remember anything...
but this feels somewhat familiar.
You motherfucker.
You only got us that day by surprise.
You fucking baker's son!
Two tigers can't live under the same sky.
Fuck you, you motherfucker.
There's more where that came from.
Out of my way!
It's all come back.
I remember who I was.
- Open up. - Is that for me?
Yeah.
How does it taste?
Isn't it so good?
It really is.
People in Seoul always eat pork cutlets on dates.
Jeez.
How is it so good?
Right?
Come on, guys.
I need y'all to come through.
All I need is 2,000 won!
