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] Dae-su Oh: ... and your lover. But... my lover's song is too short.
Dae-su Oh: Revenge is good for your health, but pain will find you again.
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: I thought I'd lived a simple life. But I've sinned too much
Mi-do: Very lonely people that I met... they all hallucinated ants at one time.
Mi-do: What should I pray for? Dae-su Oh: Dear Lord, next time let me meet a younger man.
Woo-jin Lee: My sister and I loved each other, despite everything. Can you do the same?
Dae-su Oh: Please. Don't tell Mido. What has she done wrong? You know it was all my fault... I have committed an unforgivable sin, against your sister. And I also... Did you wrong. But, please leave Mido alone... If by any chance Mido finds out the t...
