Mi-young：다 떨어지고 나면, 니가 어쩔 수 있겠나. 취직하는 수 밖에.

If you don’t get in anywhere, what else can you do? You’ll have to get a job.

Ji-eun：내가 여기 있으면, 뭐, 나이 들어서 엄마 밖에 더 되겠나.

맞다 아이가. 10년 후에, 20년 후에, 

지금 엄마처럼 그런 옷 입고 이딴 집에서…

엄마, 내는 그거 생각만 해도 끔찍하다. 

If I stay here and get old, I’ll become just like you. Isn’t that right? Ten years later, 20 years later… Wearing clothes like what you’re wearing now and living in this kind of house. Mom, it’s dreadful just thinking about it.
