KANGCHI, THE BEGINNING aka GU FAMILY BOOK [2013]

Monk So Jung: Since when has a human's fate become your business?

Gu Wol Ryung: Since I gave my heart to that woman.

Mortality is more precious than immortality.

That's why human life is beautiful.

~Gu Wol Ryung

For the first time in a thousand years, I met a woman who made my heart flutter twice.

If I lose this woman, I may have to wait for another thousand years.

~Gu Wol Ryung

Head Gisaeng: Poor girl...

After all that you went through, you should learn to accept your fate.

Seo Hwa: What is my fate? 

Becoming a gisaeng?

Becoming the wife of a divine creature?

Becoming the mother of a devilish creature?

I won't accept it! I won't accept any of that as my fate!

Help me... before a monster is born, we have to kill this baby.

Head Gisaeng: You've eaten poisonous plants, 

and jumped off cliffs numerous times.

Still, that baby didn't die.

He's growing inside you.

Before you die, that baby won't die either.

Seo Hwa: Then kill me! Just kill me!

Since he was abandoned in the river, how about Kang Chi?

Kang meaning river and Chi meaning abandoned.

So, Kang Chi!

Take on his last name, and call him Choi Kang Chi.

Chung Jo: In life, there are things you have to do even if you don't want to.

This marriage is such a thing.

Kang Chi: You either like it or you don't.

Why do you have to do something you don't like?

Chung Jo: You have to be patient and make sacrifices to protect something dear.

Kang Chi: What is something are you trying to protect?

Chung Jo: My family.

I'm just a feeble lady of the house.

But if my marriage can guarantee the well-being of my father and family...

If I can help the inn grow, I'm happy with that.

Kang Chi: I can do all that.

I can protect the inn, the lord, you and all your family.

I'll protect everyone.

I'm strong, you know that.

Chung Jo, giggles: I know.

But sometimes strength is not enough.

Strategic partnership and politics are such.

Kang Chi: Without all that, what do you truly want?

Do you like me?

Chung Jo: Kang Chi...

Kang Chi: I don't need to know anything else.

Just tell me...

[Chung Jo didn't say anything]

Kang Chi: One... Two... Three...

[Chung Jo remain silent]

Kang Chi: One... Two...

[Chung Jo kiss Kang Chi's cheek]

Fortune Teller: No good...

Yeo Wool: What do you mean?

Fortune Teller: You don't have any dating luck.

Men need to have some fat on their face.

They should have broad shoulders.

Then, girls will fall for them.

You're so thin and weak looking.

Yeo Woll: Listen, I'm a girl...

Fortune Teller, taking Yeo Woll's hat off: It's even worse. Even worse!

What men will fall for you when you go around looking like this?

Girls need to be delicate and feminine to get guys.

Chief Guard: Kang Chi, don't get involved. It's treason!

Kang Chi: Threason?

Are you kidding?

He work hard and paid all his taxes.

He even helped the poor and hungry.

If he's guilty of treason... then you?

You live off of the state tax.

You act like some mighty being squandering all your time at gisaeng houses.

And in your boredom, you harass innocent people.

You're guilty of boredom and laziness?

Jo Gwan Woong: Take him!

[One of his man draw his sword at Kang Chi, but he grab that man neck tightly]

Kang Chi: You can't win with words, so you put your sword?

I've already shown you that this doesn't work with me.

Lord Park: Kang Chi, why did you beat up your friends?

Little Kang Chi: They said I was an orphan abandoned in the river!

Lord Park: Do you feel ashamed that you were abandoned in the river?

Little Kang Chi: Yes...

Lord Park: But Kang Chi... I think it's a good thing.

If you hadn't drifted down that river then I would never have met you.

Little Kang Chi, sobbing: My lord...

Lord Park: Even if it's not blood-related, family can be formed through love.

In my heart, you're already my son.

Do you understand?

[The body of Lord Park has been loaded to the carriage, but the cow won't budge]

Lady Yoon, approaching and caress the body: I guess you don't want to leave.

You're still lingering?

It's all over now.

So... let's just go,dear.

Unload all of your lingering resentment, let's just go

Gon: Why? Why are you so concerned about him?

Yeo Wool: He saved my life... twice.

Monk Su Jong: Just 10 days.

Spend 10 days here quietly then I'll tell you everything.

Who your parents were and why you were abandoned in the river...

Kang Chi: No thanks, I don't want to know.

Monk Su Jong: What?

Kang Chi: They abandoned me 20 years ago.

For people like that, 

you want me to abandon Lord Park and his family who raised me for 20 years?

Monk Su Jong: They didn't abandon you.

They had their reasons.

Kang Chi: I'm sure... I'm sure there was a reason.

But I don't care about that reason.

You understand?

Monk Su Jong: Even if your fate depends on it?

Kang Chi: I'm just an abandoned child in the river.

I never care about my fate!

So just leave me alone!

Stop bothering me!

Monk Su Jong: Kang Chi...

Kang Chi: I have a family to protect!

Kang Chi: You don't think I'm strange?

Yeo Wool: Of course you're strange, so what?

You were strange looking even before this.

Your eye color just changed, so what?

Is your life ended?

So you're going to shrivel up and die in the corner?

The heavens decide on people's fate.

Then people just try their best at what they believe to be right.

~Admiral Lee Soon Shin

I'm giving you a lesson on drinking.

If you're dressed like gisaeng, you must learn the gisaeng ways.

Acting all haughty and mighty.

Even if you act all noble, you're still gisaeng who sells liquor and her body.

~Wol San to gisaengs apprentice

Kang Chi: First, I want to prove Lord Park's innocence.

Second, I want to take back the inn and return it to Tae Seo and Chung Jo.

And lastly my third reason, if it's possible, I want to become human.

Admiral Lee: You want to become human?

Kang Chi: Yes, I want to become human.

Right now, I'm half man, half mythical being.

I don't know when I will turn into a mythical being and lose myself.

I can't call myself a human being.

Admiral Lee: I've seen numerous people born as human, but act less than animals.

What makes you human is not your birth, but what you hold dear in your heart.

Someone who doesn't hold his life dear, can't take anything else as precious.

~Admiral Lee Soon Shin

Let me tell you once again, you'll never be able to change anything by dying.

So stop thinking about a meaningless death.

Worry about how you will stay alive until the end.

Do you understand?

~Head Gisaeng to Chung Jo

Kang Chi: Someone I thought as my own brother betrayed me.

Someone I devoted myself to, threw a rock at me.

Those who I believed to be my only family members, rejected me.

Admiral Lee: Didn't you know?

The one you love the most are always the one that hurt you most.

Chung Jo: A gisaeng is offering you drinks, which part you don't understand?

Kang Chi: Don't talk like that.

Whatever you wear or wherever you live, to me... you'll always Park Chung Jo.

Don't act like you're someone else and don't ever talk like that, you hear that?

Chung Jo: Are you telling a gisaeng to live her life pretending she's not a gisaeng?

Like a monster who pretends he's not one and lives amongst others as human?

I wonder which one's harder.

Accepting your fate and living with it or living in denial the rest of your life?

Gon: You kept lingering around her, so Master Dam put down this order.

So from now on, don't even linger to her.

Kang Chi: Does locking up you body close your heart-down?

Does wrapping your feet mean your heart wrapped-up too?

Have you ever like someone with all your heart?

Your heart and mind are full of that person.

If he smiles, you smile.

And when he cries, you get teary.

Just being by his side makes your life complete, and you feel safe.

Have you ever had a person like that?

Kang Chi is that kind of person to me.

~Yeo Wool to her governess

Being strong means to know how to draw a line between mercy and mercilessness.

Being strong means to have both a burning heart for justice and a cool head for judgement.

That's why to be strong is to be lonely.

~Master Dam Pyung Joon

That is exactly the punishment for you.

Even after you have power, money, govern rights of the southern province, 

you won't be satisfied.

So you'll be more desperate, more thirsty, more hungry....

but you won't get what you really want to have.

And that is your punishment.

~Seo Hwa to Jo Gwan Woong

Kang Chi: What else can I do? You might die!

Yeo Wool: Everybody dies.

Some people enjoy a long life before a natural death,

others die early because of disease.

Like my mom, they can die while giving birth.

Like Lord Park Moo Sol, you can die protecting someone.

You might know the day you were born but no one in this world knows the exact date they die.

Kang Chi: But it's you! 

It's you of all people that might die because of me of all causes.

How can I stay beside you?

If someone asks me whether I would live 100 years alone

or would live 100 days with my loved one,

then I would choose to live 100 days with my loved one.

~Park Tae Seo

The first love helps one grow up and the last love completes the person.

~Park Chung Jo

*****

GHOST RIDER [2007]

His Curse Will Become His Power

The thing about legends is... sometimes, they're true.

[Caretaker]

It's said that the West was built on legends. 

And that legends are a way of understanding things greater than ourselves. 

Forces that shape our lives, events that defy explanation. 

Individuals whose lives soar to the heavens or fall to the earth. 

This is how legends are born.

[Caretaker]

My daddy once said, "If you don't make a choice, the choice makes you."

[Johnny Blaze]

You cannot live in fear. 

[Johnny Blaze]

Your Penance stare won't work on me. I've no soul to burn. 

[Blackheart]

[Mephistotheles]: What if I could make him better? 

Give him back his health? 

Would you be willing to make a deal? 

[Young Johnny Blaze]: Name your price.

[Mephistotheles]: Oh. I'll take... [looks around] ...your soul.

[Young Johnny Blaze, chuckles]: Okay.

[Mephistotheles]: By sunrise tomorrow, your father will be healthy as a horse. 

And you will have your whole life ahead of you. 

It's your choice, Johnny. [brings out Pactum Pactorum] 

All you have to do is sign.

[Caretaker]: You all right? 

[Johnny Blaze]: Yeah, I'm good. I feel like my skull is on fire, but I'm good.

THE GAME PLAN [2007]

He Had The Perfect Game Plan. 

There's Just One Little Problem... 

Never say no.

~Joe Kingman

Joe: Come on, get a life, Sanders.

Sanders, points at the party: Oh, you call this 'life'?

That ain't life, Joe.

Joe: You just can't come walking into stranger's homes like this.

There are a lot of weirdos out there in the world.

Didn't your mom ever teach you that?

Peyton: Yeah.

Joe: Well, where is she?

Peyton: On an airplane.

Joe: On an airplane? Who are you here with?

Peyton: My father.

Joe: You better go get him, because I'm sure he's looking for you.

Peyton: He's not looking for me.

Joe: How do you know?

 Peyton: Because he's looking at me.

Joe: What?

Peyton: Hi, we've never met before.

You were married to my mom, Sara. Sara Kelly?

My name is Peyton.

I'm your daughter.

Joe: What did you put in those cookies?

Peyton: Milk, flour, eggs and cinnamon...

Joe: Cinnamon! I'm allergic to cinnamon.

Peyton: Oh, I'm sorry.

Joe: All you got to say is, "I'm sorry"?

I sound like this, "I'm sorry"?

Cinnamon!

Peyton: I'm allergic to nuts.

Joe: The X's mean 'stay out of these areas of the house'.

The O's mean 'open access'.

For example, you want to go to the kitchen, straight buttonhook.

But now you go to the kitchen, big X.

Off limits. No access. Can't go there.

Because you made a mess in the kitchen.

Do you understand?

No trick plays, no flea-flickers. Got it?

Peyton: Got it. No flea-flickers.

Joe: This is your game plan.

Learn it, live it, love it.

Peyton: My mom says that Fanny's makes kid fat and gives them gas.

Stella: Well, your daddy's agent says Fanny's makes him fat... with cash.

I'm the janitor, Joe's the mop, and Peyton's the mess.

~Stella Peck

Peyton: Hi everybody, I'm Peyton, the one who'll be going to bed early from now on.

My dad didn't have much of a heads-up on this whole father thing

and he is still getting the hang of things.

But it's like everything else in his life, he never says 'no'.

I mean, he's teaching me that you can do anything if you've got motivation and determination.

And the place where that starts is right here, in the heart.

You're the world's greatest father.

[hug him]

Joe, whispering: That was really good.

Peyton: It's going to cost you.

Monique: I just knew you were one of those parents.

Joe: One of what parents?

Monique: The kind who thinks that his life is more important than anybody else's.

Joe: Look, lady, I don't know what kind of parent I am.

All I know is I have an entire team.

Scratch that, an entire city depending on me.

Monique: Yeah, you also have a daughter depending on you.

Not to only take care of her, but to care about her, okay?

Joe: Listen, I care about Peyton.

Monique: Then prove it!

Ballerinas can leap as high as you can, but when they go down, they go down in plie.

And they hold and hold.

And then they go en pointe for hours and hours.

So, if ballet were easy, they'd call it football.

~Monique Vasquez

Your daughter has all the makings to be a professional dancer.

She has passion, talent, discipline.

I guess she inherited more than just your charm.

~Monique Vasquez

Joe: All the talking, and the arguing, and the complaining.

And you know what? You're just like her!

You think you're right about everything, just like her!

Peyton, scrunching her nose: What else?

Joe: You scrunch your nose when you get angry, just like her!

Peyton: Keep it coming.

Joe: You're always working on me with those big brown eyes... well, I actually like that, it's really cute.

But it doesn't matter, because it's just like her!

Peyton: Is that all you got?

Joe: And then you get inside people's minds, and you drive them crazy, just like her!

Peyton: Well, at least I got a mind, because if I didn't, I'd be just like you!

Joe: Well, I'm lucky, because as far as I'm concerned, you are nothing like me!

I would do anything to keep that beautiful smile on your face.

~Joe Kingman

 

Peyton: I'm supposed to be studying at a special ballet program this month

but instead, I snuck away to come meet you.

Joe: You ran away?

YOU RAN AWAY?

Is your mom even in Africa?

Peyton: About that...

Joe: What have you done?

Monique: Okay, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation and everybody...

Joe: The press is going to eat me alive.

Karen: Are you saying you want Peyton to live here with you?

Joe: Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Karen: You haven't even been in her life.

Joe: That's not my fault.

I didn't even know she existed.

And we've come such a long way in a short time.

Karen: What, youu mean since  a month ago when you left her in a bar?

Joe: I'm not the same man that I was.

Karen: Or an hour ago when she almost died on your watch?

This is not about you.

This is about Peyton, what's best for her.

And she needs to be in a stable home with someone who's known her her whole life.

Joe: Peyton needs her father. She needs me. 

Karen: That's not your decision to make.

Sara appointed me her guardian. 

Joe: I missed 8 years of Peyton's life.

And I'm not going to miss any more.

I will fight for this.

Karen: Oh, that would be a great thing to put her through, don't you think?

Do you have any idea how to take care of a child?

Joe: I've been doing it for a month now!

Karen: And look where we're standing, Joe.

Joe: Tell me what I'm supposed to do.

Sanders: The only thing you can do is make sure that she knows you love her

and that nothing's gonna change that.

And then when she's ready, she'll find you again.

Joe: I owe you a big thank you.

Sanders: Oh yeah? For what?

Joe: Just for catching everything I've thrown at you all these years.

Sanders: That's what friends are for.

She's not a distraction. She's my daughter.

I'd want her here with me even if it meant I'd never play another football game again.

There's nothing that I love more than my daughter.

Nothing.

~Joe Kingman

I called an audible.

See, I thought you'd be better off without me.

But judging by the butt-whupping you got out there, I guess I was wrong.

~Peyton Kingman

 

Peyton: Daddy, you won the championship.

Joe: Oh, Peyton, I've won much more than that.
