"I didn't know if I'll ever have cake like that again." "She gobbled it down and shoved some in her sisters mouth." "Think God will remember that?" "Though its been 30 years?" "Absoposilutely."

"On occasion, some people come here thinking prayer is useless." "and with the intent to commit a "dramatic suicide"." "That is very discouraging for us." "By nature... it's hard to distinguish the state of mind of those who want martyrdom or suicide." "I expect you're not someone like that are you?" "Are you sure about this?" "My prayers work fine." "Please look at the camera and speak." "Since Father Emmanuel isolated the virus, there's not been one African among the 600 victims." "They've all been Caucasians or Asians."

"Suddenly, I felt something hot come down on my head." "I felt tingly all over like someone was poking me with needles." "Then my boy said "It feels hot right here, Mom."" "Then the cancer vanished." "It vanished?" "You always feel tingly cuz of your blood pressure." "But I did a biopsy just in case." "The endoscope showed it was esophagus cancer." "Women shouldn't get sedated endoscopes."

"I didn't see you." "It's ah..." "kind of an infectious disease." "Scary, isn't it?" "How different..." "without his glasses." "How can you get infected?" "Not through a kiss for sure." "I never kissed anyone in my life." "Until now." "I don't get shy." "I didn't run out cuz I'm shy." "Back in Busan..." "It's cuz I was sick of everything." "The mom, idiot son, and the dark, damp house." "The non-stop weepy, old songs." "I waited for you to come." "The orphanage boy..." "I waited for you... when I was young... cuz the idiot liked you."

"I... can't live like this anymore." "I..." "I want to help the needy." "Maybe I can volunteer at a hospital or something." "On Sundays." "Thank you for coming." "Don't come again." "But I came to help the needy." "Its a bigger sin for a priest." "I'm not Catholic." "To me, you're just a needy, single man." "We can both go to hell for this." "I don't have faith I'm not going to hell." "But I..." "I have a terrible disease." "I'm too damn healthy." "Just once, I wish I could be sick in bed." "It's okay." "Hyo-sung's in a coma." "Unless his vitals drop no one will come in here at nights." "Sorry, I hurt you." "No, its good." "Its strange, but good." "Is it supposed to feel this good?" "What's wrong with me?" "Are other women like this?" "Am I a pervert?" "Did you eat?" "Ah, yes." "Can we meet during the day next week?" "Daytimes a bit..." "We could be together longer." "I don't want to keep my disease a secret from you." "I am... a kind of a..." "I don't kill anyone you know." "Hyo-sung..." "He loved helping the hungry." "He'd offer me his blood, if he wasn't in a coma." "If you only heard the sponge cake story." "No one blames someone for getting hurt in an accident!" "No one gets criticized for having cancer!" "I went there to do good!" "So what if I'm a vampire?" "Did you like me cuz I'm a priest?" "Its not that, is it?" "That's just my job." "Being a vampire is like having different palates... or different biorhythms don't you think?" "When two people are in love, does it really matter?" "No, what I mean is..." "You hate that I'm a vampire?" "Think I could've slept with you if I wasn't?" "How could I have sex with you?" "As just a priest?" "Come with me." "I'll take you away from this hell." "You liked doing it with me Kang-woo's no fun." "Tae-ju?" "What's going on?" "The toilet's not flushing." "It's going down now." "Closing time." "Hello?" "How can... someone become a vampire?" "Can you catch it through sex?" "Can you turn me into one?" "Vampires are..." "cuter than I thought." "Can you bend this?" "What for?" "Can you jump down from here?" "Too high?" "I'm ready." "Did Kang-woo do that?" "Does he hurt you often?" "Not often..." "Want me to rip him up like that coin?"

"Can't you volunteer somewhere else?" "Mental hospitals are so scary." "Drink it." "Can't you go back to the lab?" "Ask if there's any way for a cure?" "Sunlight is bound to hit me on my way there." "Sunlight..." "I wish I can see the sunrise over the sea before I die." "What are you thinking!" "Vampires can't see the sunlight!" "I don't care if it's at night." "The moon, the stars and even a firefly..." "Be the miracle worker!" "Make the blind see!" "Give me the vampire blood!" "It even killed EV!" "Please, Sang-hyun!" "Come here!" "Sang-hyun!" "Father Hyun!" "Please!" "Just a little bit, please?" "I'm no longer a priest nor a friar." "Forget the rules!" "Forget the Vatican!" "I'm leaving!" "Father Hyun!" "Father Hyun!" "I don't know why you wandered astray." "But I know you'll get through this." "I took pity on you when you were young." "We had you over for noodles." "You can stay here as long as you want." "Thank you." "Tae-ju..." "She's really good at heart." "I'm giving the shop and everything to her." "Did I do it too hard?" "It's perfect." "One more time, then?" "Good night." "Sweet dreams." "Get out!" "Go!" "Hurry!" "Go!" "Someone will see you!" "No!" "Don't!" "♪ The seagulls flying in the distance... ♪ I called, but no response." "♪ O, my hometown by the waters where bright blue stars glisten... ♪ in my dreams full of sorrow." "Remember Tae-ju when she was young?" "Wasn't she cute?" "When she was 12 she woke me up and showed me her panties." "Said she peed blood." "Cuz mom worked her day and night with needlework." "We cried together all night." "Planning on taking all night?" "It's only 9 o'clock." "The hospital and police questioning will take hours." "What if the sun comes up?" "I said, no!" "Just a little bit?" "They'll find out with an autopsy!" "Why go somewhere else for blood?" "We have blood right here." "Put the knife down." "Yeah, put it down." "No!" "Don't come near me!" "One female." "Unconscious." "Well be going soon." "Don't mention that I let you fish here." "I'll take care of everything." "Father Hyun..." "Father..." "He became ill again for our sins!" "Grant me the following in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." "Like a leper rotting in flesh, let all avoid me." "Like a cripple without limbs let me not move freely." "Remove my cheeks that tears may not roll down them." "There was a house at the bottom of the lake." "A submerged village." "I thought he was dead." "But when I went up he'd float up, too." "So I put him in a closet in the house and a big rock on his chest." "What if he comes out and chases me?" "I should've put a rock at the closet door, too." "Death is the end." "Right Father?" "When you're dead, you're dead?" "See?" "Vampires are not immortal." "You still want my blood?" "You want to see this dark world that badly?" "You live on other's blood but won't give me a drop of yours!" "Give me absolution and I'll give it to you." "God the Father of mercies, has reconciled the world to himself through the death and resurrection of his Son... and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins;" "through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace... and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father... and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." "Amen." "Let us praise the Lord." "The Lord's mercy endures forever." "The Lord has forgiven your sins." "Go home and rest." "You must be tired." "She's my only friend." "I know shell get better if you pray for her." "Please." "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." "Amen." "I pray to Tae-ju." "Please wake up and listen to my prayer." "I said Kang-woo was drunk from a bottle of So-ju." "So say the same to the cops." "When this is all over we will be together." "We must not meet for a while." "Though my face may seem cold and rigid... my heart only beats for you." "When we meet again I believe we'll finally be happy." "Father?" "Doing it this way... feels like I'll live on inside you." "Stop all the... thinking, longing." "The police needs the body to close the case." "Kang-woo couldn't swim, Mrs Ra You gotta move on with your life." "Kang-woo can swim." "Father Hyun's still not taking calls?" "It must've been a big shock." "Still, he could've come to the funeral." "Kang-woo!" "Kang-woo!" "I'm Sang-hyun, Ma'am." "I know I'm all wet but..." "My poor baby." "What took you so long?" "Why didn't you call?" "Bastard!" "You son of a bitch!" "–Mrs Ra!" "–Mrs Ra!" "Wake up Mrs Ra!" "Drink this, Mrs Ra!" "This is why we should all watch our blood pressures." "Watch our drinking." "And stay away from salty foods." "Let's give Mrs Ra our positive energy, Oasis-style." "Starting with Tae-ju." "Mom..." "How long's it been?" "Why are you so wet?" "What?" "Is there a leak?" "Whys it so damp?" "Come here and stop imagining things." "It's all psychological." "Stop making a fuss and will you come here?" "Was he here, too?" "He?" "Who?" "♪ Seagulls flying in the distance..." "Don't fall for it." "It's all just an illusion." "It's just psychological." "You're going?" "How can someone do it five times, straight?" "Mom never once threw me a birthday party." "How dare you!" "But she always gave me plenty to eat." "Then thank her." "Thank you." "Can't you go to that detective?" "Aren't you thirsty these days?" "I'll throw you a birthday party this year." "Really?" "The first birthday party in my life?" "But..." "I don't know when my birthday is." "But who made you boss?" "Telling me this and that and hitting me around." "Kang-woo never laid a hand on me." "Did Kang-woo... beat you or not?" "Why does that matter?" "That's why he died!" "Don't make excuses!" "You would've killed him anyway." "So you can have me for yourself." "Do you know how hard I tried not to kill people?" "You can't even begin to imagine!" "A blood thirsty beast is growling inside me!" "But I tiptoed around afraid to hurt anyone." "I killed him cuz of you." "To save you." "To save me?" "Then why am I living a nightmare?" "I stay up trembling at the thought of your cold hand touching me." "How did this happen?" "Mom!" "Mom!" "I'm done for." "He's going to kill me." "Poor Kang-woo..." "My poor, dear mom..." "You treated that devil like a son and this is what you get?" "Did I do it alone?" "It was your idea." "No!" "It was his idea!" "He said he'll kill the mother and son!" "Honest!" "I'm sorry." "Please forgive me." "We were a happy family of three till you infested us!" "You're a germ!" "You said I was cute, you cunt!" "Mommy, mommy..." "Look at me." "You can't die like this." "Mom." "Tell me you forgive me." "Mom..." "Look at me." "If you forgive me blink once." "Just one blink?" "Please?" "Just once?" "Please?" "Let's go!" "That devil will suck all the blood out of you, too!" "Let go!" "Let go!" "Stay back you devil!" "I want to go to Kang-woo." "Kill me, please." "You want to go?" "Go to your husband?" "Really?" "Happy birthday, Tae-ju." "Completely white just like daylight." "That's a good girl." "From now on, we wear shoes inside the house like in the States." "Cuz I'm in charge, now." "You have to sleep during the day, too." "And eat at night..." "Did you just move?" "Watch TV while I'm out." "A scary movies gonna be on." "I'm not ashamed at all!" "I told you!" "I'll get the blood!" "Stealing from the hospital?" "–There's more." "–What?" "I'm helping people who want to commit suicide." "I know many people like that from listening to confessions." "If I run out, I'll find more through the Internet." "They face death more peacefully if I help them." "If they just give it to you, what fun is that?" "It tastes much better this way." "How many has to die for your taste?" "Maybe around 500?" "How's that, Father?" "I told you I'm not a Father anymore!" "Oh dear, the Father is mad." "Stop acting so humane!" "You're not even human." "Then what are we?" "We're human-eating beasts that's what!" "Is it a sin for a fox to eat a chicken?" "Don't make me regret saving you." "Kill me or save me you'll regret either way." "We're through!" "I dump him and he drops me like this?" "You're the only one I've got, now." "You said women are safe from EV." "Your blood is completely mixed with mine." "Then, I'm no longer a woman?" "Hold on." "I'll get a doctor." "Hello?" "How do you feel..." "Tae-ju..." "What day is it today?" "The eyes are so telling." "They can express everything between yes and no." "What good is just a yes or no?" "You need a subject and verb to communicate." "The subject is what's being stared at." "If you stare at something for over 4 seconds... others will automatically turn to look, too." "Is that a published theory?" "Haven't had the chance yet." "I'm an expert at reading the eyes after 2 years of marriage" "That's why her Korean's not improving." "Can you tell what mom's saying?" "That's what I'm talking about!" "Tae-ju just saw me peek over at Mrs Ra." "She knew what I was going to say, before I said it." "By glancing at my eyes." "Mrs Ra said I'd win if I took this piece." "And that she wants some Vodka." "Vodka!" "I win!" "Closed, Self-draw, bonus 3 points," "Big three dragons!" "See that?" "Thank you, Mrs Ra." "You want to play that bad?" "How about teaming her up with Evelyn?" "If you blink it means "yes"." "A long blink means "no"." "Okay?" "Blink if you understand." "Throw it away." "Mrs Ra is back!" "Evelyn?" "Vodka." ""D"." ""D", what?" "You can move your finger, mom?"

"Found it!" "–"K"!" "–"K"?" "LDK?" "Ladies Delaying, Killing the game." ""D" comes last! "KLD"!" "Mrs Ra, it's "DKL", right?" "She says, no." ""KLD"? "KILLED"?" "I'm right?" "See?" "It's "KILLED"!" "Whatever, let's keep the game alive." "–Whose turn is it?" "–Killed who?" "Mahjong brings back memories of Kang-woo?" "Mom... it's not your fault." "He didn't die cuz of you." "Stop playing and go to bed." "Tae-ju's so strong." "Stop torturing yourself" "Look at me, Mrs Ra." "It was an accident." "No one killed Kang-woo." "It's not like Tae-ju and Sang-hyun killed..." "Selfish humans." "Bastards coming to play Mahjong with a grieving family" "What?" "Why you little shit." "I'm leaving, cuz shit smells not scares." "Honey!" "No!" "Oh, Young-du." "Young-du!" "Stop it." "You easy-blood drinking coward." "It's cuz he's dead and the heart stopped pumping." "Cut off the ankles and... hang them over the bathtub and let gravity do the rest." "We can put the blood in Tupperware and keep it in the fridge" "I thought of using a motor pump but this works best." "Sucking a little and throwing the body away is treating life too lightly, isn't it?" "Evelyn..." "How could I have made all those Kimbaps without you?" "It's over now." "Happy?" "Tae-ju." "Listen to me carefully." "Why do I have to run away?" "From my own house?" "Wont they search the house when they find the 4 people missing?" "They'll come in here without dusting off their shoes?" "Search the house, open the cabinet and open the curtains..." "Then well die?" "What are you doing?" "You already had your fill." "Where are we going?" "Where are you going?" "The sun's coming up!" "Didn't you have your fill from Evelyn?" "I wanted to live with you forever and ever." "Together again in hell then." "When you're dead, you're dead." "It's been fun, Father"
