I'm a little disappointed

Oh, we'd be so flattered.
오, 그러면 저희야 영광이죠.

But Rick and I, we made a promise to each other after the war that,
하지만 Rick과 저는 전쟁 후에 서로 약속을 했어요,

we would uh... settle down.
우리 함께... 정착하기로요.

That's right, yeah, we did.
네 맞아요, 네, 그랬죠.

Well, I must admit I am a little disappointed.
아, 그러면, 제가 좀 섭섭한데요.


You took forever to kiss me.
너 나한테 키스하는 데 평생 걸렸잖아.

I did. Should we talk about our first kiss?
그랬지. 우리 첫 키스에 대해 얘기해볼까?

And I think we have before.
우리 전에 얘기했던 것 같은데.

Le's talk about it now. - Sure.
지금 얘기해보자. - 좋아.

I told Jared's friend, I was a little disappointed that he didn't kiss me.
Jared의 친구한테 Jared가 나한테 키스하지 않아서 약간 서운했다고 말했죠.

Because Valentine's came and gone and he didn't kiss me.
왜냐하면, 발렌타인 데이가 오고 지났는데도 Jared가 키스를 안했거든요.


But, Katniss, on a more serious note.

하지만, Katniss씨, 좀 더 진지하게 생각해 보세요.

I think, we're all here a little disappointed ― more than a little disappointed,

제 생각에는 여기 우리 모두가 조금 서운 아니 더 서운할 거예요,

that a certain wedding did not take place.

어떠한 결혼식이 치러지지 않았거든요.
