<p class="cafe-editor-text"><br />TITLE SEQUENCE OVER BLACK <br />Accompanied by dark but curiously upbeat MUSIC. <br />At the end of the credits, the MAIN TITLE, in strange <br />calligraphy, fills the screen -- <br />“PARASITE”<br />MUSIC FADES. <br /><br /><br /><br />INT. SEMI-BASEMENT - DAY <br />A dank semi-basement apartment. KI-WOO, 24, runs from corner <br />to corner searching desperately for a Wi-Fi signal. Various <br />networks pop up, but they’re all password-protected. <br />KI-WOO<br />NO. Not you too “iptime.” <br />Ki-Jung! Upstairs neighbor <br />finally locked up his Wi-Fi. <br />ADJACENT ROOM --<br />Lying on the floor of the narrow room, KI-JUNG, 23, barely <br />moves her lips -- ‘Fuck.’<br />KI-JUNG<br />Try ‘123456789.’ Then try it <br />backwards. <br />KI-WOO <br />No luck. <br />ANOTHER ROOM --<br />Also lying on the floor, CHUNG-SOOK, 49, the mother, scoffs at <br />their collective misery. <br />CHUNG-SOOK<br />What am I supposed to do if <br />someone calls me? What if it’s a <br />job? Hey, Ki-Tek! <br />She kicks KI-TEK, 49, who is sleeping at her feet.<br />CHUNG-SOOK (CONT’D)<br />I know you’re awake, asshole. <br />Care to comment?<br />KI-TEK<br />(wiping his drool)<br />What?</p>
