A Short Play About Korean Sayings

[CC and Mom are in CC's office, trying to coordinate travel to LA for a family thing. CC has booked her aunt's and Mom's tickets with Mom looking over her shoulder the whole time and is in the process of booking her own travel. Mom's dialogue is translated from Korean.]

CC: OH, CRAP.

Mom: What's the matter?

CC: I think I might have booked Auntie's ticket as Hyun Bin Choe instead of Hyun Bin Song.

Mom: Can you go back and check?

CC: I don't have the confirmation number -- all of that stuff was e-mailed to you. Can you go check your e-mail?

Mom, after a couple of minutes: No e-mails yet. We can check tomorrow.

CC: CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP.

Mom: It's ok. Even monkeys fall out of trees every now and then.
