• 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!

• 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!

• 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.

• 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.

• Sgt. Lee Soo-hyeok : What's important in battle isn't speed. It's carrying yourself with composure and bravery. That's everything.
