수정: 너 진짜 왜 그래?
What’s wrong with you? 
미래: 안심해 엄마. 엄마가 말하는 그 변한테 옛 여친이 나타났어. 나랑 정 반대인 거 같애. 그래서 알았지. 나 같은 스타일한텐 매력을 못 느끼 겠구나.
Don’t worry, Mom. That lawyer you talked about. His old girlfriend showed up. She was the complete opposite of me. That’s how I knew. He probably wouldn’t find someone like me attractive. 
수정: 어머머, 눈이 삐었다, 우리 미래 같은 스타일에 매력 못 느끼면. 다 마음에 안 드네, 그 변.
Oh, he must be blind to find someone like you unattractive. I don’t like anything about him, that lawyer.
