- Su-jin: Forgiving... isn't that hard. It's just... giving away just one plain room in your heart. My grandpa said so. A true carpenter... is the one that can build a house in his heart. But in the house you've built. So well in your heart... You gave all the rooms away to your mother and to your hate. And where are you? And you're shivering outside the house. I understand. I know it's hard to forgive. But... My dad remembered that piece of wisdom... and forgave me when I almost ran off with a married man... and he permitted our marriage so easily. You know why? Forgiving... is giving your hate just a little room in your heart.
- Su-jin: [subtitles] I'll forget everything soon. I won't know why you're with me. You'll be gone from my mind. And so will I. You understand? As my memory disappears, my soul will too. I'm scared.
- [Falls to her feet, crying]
- Cheol-su: Why would your soul disappear? Get up. Leave it to me. I'm your memory. I'm your heart. Got that? No more tears.
- Cheol-su: [subtitles] If you forget everything, I'll pop up out of nowhere. Like now. And I'll hit on you. You won't be able to turn me down. We'll start anew every day. Like permanent dating. Awesome, isn't it?
- Su-jin: Did you find out?
- Cheol-su: What?
- Su-jin: That I have an eraser in my head. Let's part ways.
- Cheol-su: What?
- Su-jin: You were right. One can't be happy forever.
- Cheol-su: What are you talking about?
- Su-jin: It's all over. Think about it. What's love good for if my memory is gone? Don't be so nice to me. I'll forget everything.
- Su-jin: But I'm only 27. How could I be going senile?
- Doctor Lee: It's possible.
- Su-jin: So... What's going to happen to me?
- Doctor Lee: A mental death will come before a physical one. Better prepare yourself for what's inevitable. Medicine can slow it down. But that's about it.
- Su-jin: What about surgery?
- Doctor Lee: Do you work?
- Su-jin: Yes.
- Doctor Lee: You should quit right away. Soon you won't be able to type or answer the phone, let alone organize things. Pretty much nothing. You will forget your family, friends and even yourself. All your memories will disappear completely.
- Bum at station: [subtitles] You know what I'm waiting here for? Not a cigarette light.
- [He points to the sky]
- Bum at station: I'm waiting for the light. Sharing a cigarette light means sharing the light. So miss... got a light?
- [No reply]
- Bum at station: When will I ever smoke this?
- Chairman Hwang: You see the pine tree over there? Great, isn't it?
- [short audible laughter]
- Chairman Hwang: There's a reason for that. Either it was under a rock when young. Or shaded by a big tree nearby. In short, it's been misplaced. Like a pine tree on a cliff.
