Namgoong Minsoo : [in Korean, puffing a cigarette] Want one? I won't waste it on a prick like you.
Curtis : I'm gonna make this real simple for you. You help us, you get your drug. If not, we put you back where we found you. What'll it be, asshole?
-
Curtis : You gotta take it easy on that Kronole. Snorting that flammable shit's gonna fry your brain.
Namgoong Minsoo : [in Korean] That's exactly right. Think of what Kronole is.
[crumbling it up, then packing it together]
Namgoong Minsoo : This fucking flammable industrial waste. Light it up, and boom. It's a bomb, you idiot.
[sticking a fuse into it]
Namgoong Minsoo : I didn't stock this shit for years just to get high.

Namgoong Minsoo : [in Korean] You know what I really want? I want to open the gate... but not this gate. That one. The gate to the outside world. It's been frozen shut for 18 years. You might take it as a wall. But it's a fucking gate. Let's open it and just get the hell out.
Curtis : And freeze to death? What are you, fucking crazy?
Namgoong Minsoo : What if we don't? What if we could survive outside? Remember the Yekaterina Bridge? When your guys were getting chopped up? There's something I look at every New Year. A crashed airplane under the snow. All I saw ten years ago was just the tail. Now the body and wings are peeking out. Less ice and snow means... it's melting. The type of snow that's about to melt. A little push and it all falls down.

Edgar : Uh, hi. Hi. Excuse me, sorry to bother you there. Could I get you a glass of water, or something, to speed this up?
Namgoong Minsoo : [Nam ignores him. Edgar gets irritated]
Edgar : Listen, would you get on with it, man? You're keeping us all fucking waiting!
Namgoong Minsoo : [through the language translator] Am I?
Edgar : Yeah, you are. Although you've been fucking smelling that flammable shite, that time is probably a distant fucking concept for you, isn't it?
Namgoong Minsoo : Of course. I am only doing this for the Kronole.
Edgar : Here we go again. Kronole this, Kronole that. Christ almighty, man, do some fucking work.
Namgoong Minsoo : You're the one who keeps giving it to me.
Edgar : Are you a bit thick? That's what you asked for each time you opened the gate.
