Oldboy
2003
Dae-su Oh: Even though I'm no more than a monster - don't I, too, have the right to live?
Dae-su Oh: If they had told me it was going to be fifteen years, would it have been easier to endure?
Dae-su Oh: When the melody turns on, gas comes out. When the gas comes out, I fall asleep. I found out later it's the same Valium gas the Russians used on those Chechen terrorists.
Dae-su Oh: The TV is both a clock and a calendar. It's your school, your home, your church, your friend... (Dae-su masturbates to a pop star onscreen) ... and your lover. But... my lover's song is too short.
Dae-su Oh: Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone.
Dae-su Oh: Can the imaginary training of fifteen years be put to use? Dae-su Oh: (Dae-su beats up his assailants) Yes. It can.
Dae-su Oh: Can the imaginary training of fifteen years be put to use? Dae-su Oh: (Dae-su tries to sexually assault Mi-do and gets clobbered) No. It can't.
Dae-su Oh: Who the hell are you? Woo-jin Lee: Me? I'm a sort of scholar. And my major is you. A scholar studying Dae-su Oh; an expert on Dae-su Oh.
Woo-jin Lee: What I am isn't important. WHY is important.
Woo-jin Lee: Remember this: "Be it a rock or a grain of sand, in water they sink as the same."
Dae-su Oh: How's life in a bigger prison, Dae-su?
Dae-su Oh: Why'd you lock me up, you (tries to think of the word) ... dick-shit?
Dae-su Oh: (Dae-su is about to use a clawhammer to yank out someone's teeth) Each one I yank out will make you age for one year. Ready to talk?
Dae-su Oh: (after a very messy beating) Anyone here with an AB blood type, raise your hand.
Dae-su Oh: (after a huge fight) As I expected, I can't get along with anyone today either.
Woo-jin Lee: Dae-su Oh talks too much.
Woo-jin Lee: I'm going to kill every woman you love until you die. You're notorious for not protecting your women.
Woo-jin Lee: You really are the very monster I created, aren't you? But you won't find out the "why" of this if you kill me. Fifteen years of being curious would go to waste.
Woo-jin Lee: You want to torture me, but I can simply kill myself first. Do you want revenge, or do you want the truth?
Dae-su Oh: (holding up a sign) I'VE BEEN BUGGED. PLEASE FIND IT.
Woo-jin Lee: Your tongue got my sister pregnant! It wasn't Woo-jin Lee's dick; it was Dae-su Oh's tongue!
Woo-jin Lee: Your gravest mistake wasn't failing to find the answer. You can't find the right answer if you ask the wrong questions.
Dae-su Oh: You asshole! I'm going to rip your whole body apart, and no one will be able to find it anywhere because I'm going to CHEW IT ALL DOWN!
Dae-su Oh: I beg you. Please... please don't tell Mi-do. What... what has she done wrong? You knew it was all my fault... right? (screams) I... I have committed a terrible sin against your sister! And I was. I was very wrong to you... I'm so very sorry! So what I'm saying is. just... just leave Mi-do alone, okay? If... if Mi-do finds out the truth... you (shouts) fucking asshole, (normal voice) I'll. I'll rip your whole body apart. And no-one'll be able to find it anywhere, and you know why? Because I'm going to chew it all down! Woo-jin! Oh, God! I've made such a horrible mistake. Please, please forget everything I just said! Sir! Boss! Woo-jin! Woo-jin! Look! We're Evergreen Old Boys! Remember? (singing) "With the energy / From a green pine tree / The Great Sangnok High... Woo-jin! I'll do whatever you want, I swear it. I'll do anything. I beg you! Woo-jin! If you want me to be. to be a dog, then I will. I'll be Woo-jin's dog from now on! I'm your puppy. (crawls around on all fours) Arf! Arf! Arf-arf! Look! Look, I'm wagging my tail! I'm a dog. I'll guard the house, I'll be your slave dog, I promise! (Dae-su cleans Woo-Jin's shoes with his tongue)
Woo-jin Lee: And now... now, what joy will I have left to live for?
Mi-do: (looking around the inside of Dae-su's "cell") You stayed in a place like this for fifteen years? Dae-su Oh: Yeah, but after the first seven it felt just like home.
Mi-do: I love you... Oh-Daesu
Dae-su Oh: I thought I'd lived a simple life. But I've sinned too much
Mr Park: You see, they say that people shrivel up because they have an imagination. So, don't imagine anything, you'll become brave as hell.
Mr Park: We put a hypnosis-inducing drug in your water Dae-su Oh: Sodium barbiturate? Mr Park: Ha! TV Man knows it all!
Mr Park: (hands Dae-Su a business card while grinning a big gold-toothed grin) This dentist is really good.
Mi-do: Very lonely people that I met... they all hallucinated ants at one time.
