Memorable quotes from Oldboy

"For the American remake; see Oldboy (2013 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."
"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?"
