Lee Byung-hun, Lee Yeong-ae, and Song Kang-ho in JSA - Joint Security Area (2000)

Quotes

JSA - Joint Security Area

Edit
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: Your shadow is over the line. Watch it!
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: Hey Assholes! You just gonna leave me here?
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: You told us to go.
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: I said don't come closer, when did I say to leave, you fuckers!
  • Maj. Gen. Bruno Botta: You haven't learned much about Panmunjom yet. Here, the peace is preserved by hiding the truth. What they both really want is that this investigation proves nothing after all.
  • Top Ranking Officer Choi: Hey. Take that damn dog to the butchers. Lunch for tomorrow.
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: Hey, Sergeant Lee. What's important in battle isn't speed. Combat skills? No such thing. It's carrying yourself with composure and strength. That's everything.
  • Maj. Sophie E. Jean: Why did Sergeant Lee go out alone?
  • Nam Sung-shik: An urgent call of nature.
  • Maj. Sophie E. Jean: Can a soldier leave his post for that?
  • Nam Sung-shik: He said people with constipation should seize a chance when it comes.
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: What's important in battle isn't speed. It's carrying yourself with composure and bravery. That's everything.
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: Come on. What's wrong with people of the same blood getting together and playing some games? Is that such a crime? I mean, did we commit adultery? Or give up military secrets?
  • Nam Sung-shik: We don't even know any secrets.
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: Exactly!
  • Maj. Sophie E. Jean: Now then, can you tell me about that night?
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: It's all in my deposition.
  • Maj. Sophie E. Jean: You mean the deposition you made and signed while in a coma?
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: Stupid wench.
  • Maj. Sophie E. Jean: What did you just say? Why is it you all have depositions, but nobody will talk to me?
  • Maj. Sophie E. Jean: So, you're an armchair anthropologist.
  • Maj. Gen. Bruno Botta: This armchair is not so comfortable anymore after this nasty incident.
  • Nam Sung-shik: Do I have to go?
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: What? Hey, after half a century of division... Um... overcoming our history of agony and disgrace, we're gonna open the dam to reunification. Okay?
  • Nam Sung-shik: Could we maybe open it later?
  • Jeong Woo-jin: I didn't mean it... I thought I'd write to him too, as a joke... I never thought he'd actually come. What kind of a crazy fool would...
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: Good-bye, then.
  • Jeong Woo-jin: Wait, I didn't mean for you to go. You've done a great thing. After half a century of division, you have breached our tragic history of agony and disgrace, broken the dam to reunify our country. Comrade Lee Soo Hyuk! We welcome you. Sorry.
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: You got a promotion? Thanks to me you've lived to become sergeant, right?
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: If I died, I'd have moved up to staff sergeant. Imagine if I'd had the nerve to remove my foot? I'm the one who saved your lives.
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: You're full of shit.
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: Hey! You still have that mine fuse I gave you? Don't lose it. Hold onto that and even bullets will pass you by.
  • Maj. Gen. Bruno Botta: But this is a very special case. The perpetrator is already in custody, and we even have his confession. Our job is to find out not who, but why. Also, what's important is not the outcome, but the procedure. Right now the Korean peninsula is like one big switch, between tension and reconciliation. Talks are taking place in Beijing and Panmunjon, day in, day out, and at the same time clashes continue. In short, these discussions between the South and the North could be seen as taking place in a... in a dry forest. Even one small spark could burn the whole forest down. Your ultimate goal is to remain perfectly neutral, and not to provoke either the South or the North. Got it?
  • Maj. Sophie E. Jean: So, my job is then to stand at the borderline and ask, Could you please tell me why you pulled the trigger?
  • Jeong Woo-jin: Why do you always go crazy over American things?
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: Try it, and you'll see why Yankee stuff is so great.
  • Jeong Woo-jin: Soo-Hyuk, brother! You remember when Comrade Oh saved you from the mine? Don't you? Please put the gun down, okay?
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: Fuck it! Fuck this 'brother' shit. We're enemies, after all.
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: Why can't our republic make moon pies like this?
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: Brother!
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: What?
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: I was just wondering... You want to come down South? You can eat Choco Pies till you burst. I mean, only if you want to.
  • Sgt. Oh Kyeong-pil: Lee Soo-Hyuk. I'm only going to say this once, so listen well. My dream is... That one day, our republic... makes the best damn sweets on this peninsula. Got it? Till then, all I can do is... dream about these Choco Pies.
  • Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok: Forget it. You're all talk.
