Quotes
-
Kim Ki-jung : [about Moon-gwang] She may look like a sheep, but inside, she's a fox. Sometimes she acts like she owns the house.
Kim Ki-woo : Right. Of all the people in that house, she's lived there the longest. She was housekeeper to the architect Namgoong, but then she went on to work for this family. When the architect moved out, he introduced this woman to Park's family, telling them, "This is a great housekeeper, you should hire her".
Chung-sook : So she survived a change of ownership.
Kim Ki-woo : She won't give up such a good job easily.
Kim Ki-jung : To extract a woman like that, we need to prepare well.
Kim Ki-woo : Right, we need a plan.
Park Da-hye : [cut to a scene with Ki-woo and Da-hye] I want to eat peaches. I like peaches best.
Kim Ki-woo : Why not ask for some?
Park Da-hye : No peaches at our house. It's a forbidden fruit.
Kim Ki-woo : [cut back to the Kims; referring to Moon-gwang] So according to what Da-hye told me, she's got a pretty serious allergy to peaches. You know that fuzz on the peach skin? If she's anywhere near it, she gets a full body rash, has trouble breathing, asthma, a total meltdown!
[Moon-gwang falls sick after Ki-woo puts peach fuzz on her]
Ki-taek : Anyway. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but her words came through clearly! So I couldn't help but...
Kim Ki-woo : Cut, cut! Dad, your emotions are up to here. Bring them down to about there.
Ki-taek : So I couldn't help but overhear...
Kim Ki-woo : Keep it focused!
Ki-taek : [to Mrs. Park] What I'm trying to say is... it's just that, your housekeeper's voice is quite loud, you know?
Park Yeon-kyo : I understand, it's all right. Just tell me, okay?
Ki-taek : She said she got diagnosed with active tuberculosis and she was practically shouting over the phone, so upset she could barely control herself!
Park Yeon-kyo : Tuberculosis? Come on...
Ki-taek : It's true, she phoned someone saying she had active TB.
Kim Ki-woo , Park Yeon-kyo : Do people still get TB?
Kim Ki-woo : [cut back to the Kims] Dad, back in the day, people used to buy Christmas Seals, right? Feels like a bygone era.
Ki-taek : [cut back to Ki-taek and Mrs. Park] But I saw it on the internet. Korea has the #1 rate of TB of all the OECD countries.
Kim Ki-woo : [cut back to the Kims] But she's still working, as if nothing's wrong - with a kid like Da-song in the house.
Ki-taek : [cut back to Ki-taek and Mrs. Park] So you've got a young kid like Da-song in the house, and a TB patient is doing dishes, cooking, spraying spittle...
Park Yeon-kyo : Stop it, please!
[cut to the Kims putting peach fuzz on Moon-gwang, causing her to fall sick again, and Ki-taek using chili sauce to fake Moon-gwang's blood]

Kim Ki-jung : But isn't an older driver better?
Park Yeon-kyo : That's true. They drive better, have better manners.
Kim Ki-jung : My father's brother had a driver just like that. Mr. Kim. He was so congenial and nice. I used to call him Uncle when I was young.
Park Yeon-kyo : You know a man like that?
Kim Ki-jung : Yes, he was so mild-mannered. Oh, but my relatives relocated to Chicago. I wonder if Mr. Kim's free now?
Park Yeon-kyo : I'm really interested! Could I meet him?
Kim Ki-jung : Really?
Park Yeon-kyo : I don't trust anyone now. I only trust someone recommended by a person I know well. But if you've known him so long, I'd feel much more at ease.
Kim Ki-jung : Do you really want to meet him?
Park Yeon-kyo : I'm deadly serious. This chain of recommendations is best. How should I describe it? A belt of trust?

Park Yeon-kyo : Jessica, the last time you came, our driver gave you a ride, right?
Kim Ki-jung : That's right.
Park Yeon-kyo : This may be an odd question, but nothing happened then?
Kim Ki-jung : No, he was very nice. I told him to go to Hyehwa Station, but he insisted on driving me home.
Park Yeon-kyo : That jerk! He took you home late at night? Revealing where you live?
Kim Ki-jung : No, I got off at Hyehwa.
Park Yeon-kyo : Oh, good girl. Very good. Jessica nice...
Kim Ki-jung : Did something happen with him?
Park Yeon-kyo : He won't be working for us any more. A slightly shameful incident.
Kim Ki-jung : What incident?
Park Yeon-kyo : Oh, you don't need to know.
Kim Ki-jung : But I'm surprised. He was so gentlemanly and cool.
Park Yeon-kyo : Jessica, you're too young and innocent! You have a lot to learn about people.

Kim Ki-jung : [as fumigation is occurring on the street outside their home] Shut the window.
Ki-taek : Leave it open. We'll get free extermination. Kill the stink bugs.

Moon-gwang : [after capturing the Kim family on video] Are you some family of charlatans?
Chung-sook : So, sis...
Moon-gwang : Don't fucking call me sis, you filthy bitch! I'm gonna send this video to the madame, how about that?
Ki-taek : No reception in the basement, right?
Kim Ki-jung : The phone works fine.
Kim Ki-woo : Ma'am, to be honest, the jobs we have here...
Moon-gwang : Shut up! It's too late now! Let's all go to jail! We're fucking going down!
Ki-taek : Lady, are you crazy? If they see that video, Mr. Park and his wife will be so shocked! What did those nice people ever do wrong? Why do this to them?
Moon-gwang : Stop right there! Or I'll push the 'send' button.

Kim Ki-woo : If Da-hye and I marry, we can bring in actors to be my mom and dad.
Kim Ki-woo : [pointing at Ki-jung] Look at her. She got so many jobs acting in weddings last year.
Kim Ki-jung : I even caught the bouquet from a bitch I've never met. If you get the bouquet, they pay an extra $10.
Chung-sook : That's how your acting got so good!
-
Ki-taek : [after learning that everyone in his family has the same smell] So do we all need to use different soap, now?
Kim Ki-woo : Dad, we'll need to use different laundry soap, too. And fabric softener.
Chung-sook : You mean doing four separate loads of laundry each time?
Kim Ki-jung : That's not it. It's the semi-basement smell. We need to leave this home to lose the smell.
Ki-taek : Anyway, aren't we fortunate to be worrying about things like this?
Kim Ki-woo : Sure.
Ki-taek : In an age like ours, when an opening for a security guard attracts 500 university graduates. Our entire family got hired!
Kim Ki-woo : That's right, Dad!
Ki-taek : If we put our 4 salaries together? The amount of cash coming from that house into ours is immense! Let's offer a prayer of gratitude to the great Mr. Park. And to Min! Ki-woo, that friend of yours turned into such a fine guy, and thanks to him we're all...
-
Kim Ki-jung : We're the ones who need help. Worry about us, okay? Dad! Come on, Dad! Just focus on us, okay? On us! Not Driver Yoon, but me, please!
[lightning crashes]
Ki-taek : Awesome timing, huh?
Kim Ki-woo : She speaks, and the lightning crashes!
-
Moon-gwang : [capturing the Kim family on video] You scumbag family. Husband?
Ki-taek : Husband.
Moon-gwang : Wife?
Chung-sook : Yes.
Moon-gwang : Son?
Kim Ki-woo : Yes.
Moon-gwang : Daughter?
Kim Ki-jung : Daughter.
-
Kim Ki-woo : What would Min do in this situation?
Kim Ki-jung : Min wouldn't be in this situation!

Kim Ki-jung : The lower-right region of a painting is called the 'schizophrenia zone'. Psychotic symptoms often reveal themselves here.
Park Yeon-kyo : Oh, phrenia...
Kim Ki-jung : Look here. Da-song painted this unusual shape, right?
Park Yeon-kyo : I see.
Park Yeon-kyo : [pointing to another painting by Da-song] Over there, it's the same! It's the same, right?
Kim Ki-jung : Yes, that's correct. A similar shape in the same zone. You see it now?
Park Yeon-kyo : Yes. I've stared at that painting at every meal! But I had no idea.
Kim Ki-jung : Calm down. Let's compose ourselves. This is all a black box into Da-song's mind. Would you like to open that box with me, Madame?
Park Yeon-kyo : I want to open it.
Kim Ki-jung : Then we'll need 4 two-hour sessions per week, and this is not simple tutoring, it's art therapy, right?
Park Yeon-kyo : Of course.
Kim Ki-jung : Because of that my rate is set at a very high level. Are you okay with that?
Park Yeon-kyo : It's my pleasure.

Kim Ki-woo : [referring to a neighbor's Wi-Fi network] The lady upstairs put a password on 'iptime'.
Kim Ki-jung : A password? Did you try 123456789?
Kim Ki-woo : No luck.
Kim Ki-jung : Do it the other way.
Kim Ki-woo : I tried that too!
-
Ki-taek : [referring to the Park family's house] We live here now, don't we? Getting drunk in the living room.
Kim Ki-woo : Right, we live here. Why not?
Ki-taek : This is our home right now. It's cozy.
Chung-sook : Cozy? Are you feeling cozy? Sure, but suppose Park walked through that door now. What about your dad? He'd run and hide like a cockroach. Kids, you know at our house, when you turn on the light, and the cockroaches scatter? You know what I mean?
[Chung-sook starts laughing]
Ki-taek : I'm getting fucking tired of this. A cockroach?
Chung-sook : Yeah.
[Ki-taek suddenly grabs Chung-sook's shirt]
Kim Ki-woo : Huh? What's wrong?
Kim Ki-jung : What's the matter?
Kim Ki-woo : Dad, don't do that. You only live once.
[Chung-sook and Ki-taek start laughing]
Kim Ki-jung : What the hell?
Ki-taek : I fooled you! Didn't I?
Kim Ki-woo : Jesus, Dad.
Ki-taek : I fooled you too, Ki-woo? Did it look for real?
Chung-sook : If it was for real, I'd fucking kill you.
