Su-jin : Forgiving... isn't that hard. It's just... giving away just one plain room in your heart. My grandpa said so. A true carpenter... is the one that can build a house in his heart. But in the house you've built. So well in your heart... You gave all the rooms away to your mother and to your hate. And where are you? And you're shivering outside the house. I understand. I know it's hard to forgive. But... My dad remembered that piece of wisdom... and forgave me when I almost ran off with a married man... and he permitted our marriage so easily. You know why? Forgiving... is giving your hate just a little room in your heart.

Su-jin : [subtitles] I'll forget everything soon. I won't know why you're with me. You'll be gone from my mind. And so will I. You understand? As my memory disappears, my soul will too. I'm scared.
[Falls to her feet, crying]
Cheol-su : Why would your soul disappear? Get up. Leave it to me. I'm your memory. I'm your heart. Got that? No more tears.

Su-jin : Did you find out?
Cheol-su : What?
Su-jin : That I have an eraser in my head. Let's part ways.
Cheol-su : What?
Su-jin : You were right. One can't be happy forever.
Cheol-su : What are you talking about?
Su-jin : It's all over. Think about it. What's love good for if my memory is gone? Don't be so nice to me. I'll forget everything.

Su-jin : But I'm only 27. How could I be going senile?
Doctor Lee : It's possible.
Su-jin : So... What's going to happen to me?
Doctor Lee : A mental death will come before a physical one. Better prepare yourself for what's inevitable. Medicine can slow it down. But that's about it.
Su-jin : What about surgery?
Doctor Lee : Do you work?
Su-jin : Yes.
Doctor Lee : You should quit right away. Soon you won't be able to type or answer the phone, let alone organize things. Pretty much nothing. You will forget your family, friends and even yourself. All your memories will disappear completely.
