Lee Byung-hun Quotes

A Father's Wisdom in Conversation

Goodnight Robicheaux: [pinned down by enemy fire] This reminds me of what my daddy always used to say.
Billy Rocks: What's that, Goody?
Goodnight Robicheaux: [pause; both laugh] Well, you know, my daddy said a lot of things.

The Importance of Arms Dealing Ethics

Destro: [handling the old iron mask] This belongs to an ancestor of mine. He was caught selling arms to both sides. The French forced him to wear it for the rest of his life. They called him Destro, destroyer of nations.
Storm Shadow: So why do you keep it?
Destro: So that I never forget the most important rule in dealing arms.
The Baroness: Let me guess: never sell to both sides?
Destro: Never get caught selling to both sides. Take the warheads to Paris, have them weaponised, then I want you to test one.
Baroness: Test one?
Destro: We'll let CNN show the world how well they perform.
Storm Shadow: Fear is a great motivator.
Destro: I have a target in mind. One the French will never forget. As I have never forgotten what they did to Clan McCullen.
