Bad Apple Pie

I hate translating things twice--

Ali: How tall are you, Kim Eun Suk?

Kim Eun Suk: Bek Chil-ship-ee.

Ali (silently translating in his head): Bek Chil-ship-ee, bek chil-ship-ee...what's that in English? (Out loud) Oh, a hundred seventy two?

Kim Eun Suk: Yes, a hundred seventy two centimeters.

Ali (silently translating in his head): 172 centimeters, 172 centimeters...what's that in American...
