Oldboy (2003 film)

"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."

"[To a mob of thugs in hallway] Anyone here with an AB blood type, raise your hand. [Three thugs raise their hands]"

"As I expected, I can't get along with anyone today either."

"Erasing my memory and telling me to find the truth was cowardly. I won. So die like you promised."

"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 truth, you son of a bitch, I'll tear you limb from limb. And your remains will never be found. Why? Because I'm going to swallow every last bit."

"I thought I'd lived a simple life. But I've sinned too much."

"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."

"If they had told me it was going to be fifteen years, would it have been easier to endure?"

"[The hypnotist quoting a line from his journal] Even though I'm no better than a beast, don't I have the right to live?"

"Can fifteen years of imaginary training really be put to use? [Dae-su fights a gang of thugs] Apparently, it can."

"Can fifteen years of imaginary training really be put to use? [Dae-su tries to sexually assault Mi-do and gets clobbered] No. It can't."

"Laugh, and the world laughs with you... weep, and you weep alone."

"I said... I want to eat something alive. [Before eating a live octopus and then faints at sushi bar counter]"

"I will avenge for my fifteen years... for every tooth I pull out...you will age by one year. [Dae-Su to the man owing the complex where he was imprisoned]"

"I have truly become a monster..."

"No...first I have to kill the bastard! [Responding in his mind to Mido about visiting his wife's grave]"

"If you see a man whose face is hidden behind a violet umbrella...then... my advice is that you become good friends with Television."

"One month...I'm out in one month...One month, just one month...I'm out in one month! What if I am on the 50th floor? I don't care if I fall right down on the ground...I would still be out! [When licking his hands touched by the first raindrops he felt in 15 years after digging with a chopstick through the wall]"

"Remember this: "Be it a rock or a grain of sand, in water they sink as the same.""

"What I am isn't important. Why is important."

"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."

"I'm going to kill every woman you love until you die. You're notorious for not protecting your women."

"Your gravest mistake wasn't failing to find the answer. You can't find the right answer if you ask the wrong questions."

"Oh Dae-su talks too much."

"Your tongue got my sister pregnant! It wasn't Woo-jin Lee's dick; it was Dae-su Oh's tongue!"

"And now... now, what joy will I have left to live for?"

"How's life in a bigger prison, Dae-su?"

"15 years of imprisonment, five days of vengeance"

"Imprisoned for 15 years... ...5 days to seek revenge"

"End of confrontation, one must die."

"15 years forced in a cell, only 5 days given to seek revenge."
