Dong Man speaking to Choi Dong Hyeon (CEO of Choi Film)

"He has a desire to get rid of anyone he finds incompetent or disapproves of. A strong urge to clear them out…Tell me. Is there anyone you actually approve of? Everyone in the subway sucks, don’t they? And they are all ugly. Might as well get rid of them and live alone then. Does this mean I can also get rid of something that I don’t approve of?" (Dong Man drives with speed the wheeled armchair in which the CEO sits towards the wall, then escapes running to the porch and jumping in the street, while the CEO chases him)

“if he doesn’t say anything, he would feel like he doesn’t even exist” - byeon eun-a

i’m not even chasing success. i just want to make a film… just enough to fight off this feeling of being useless
