WHY DID I MULTIPLY?

"Lord, we thank You for the many ways you show your love: the sun which bakes our lips to the point of bleeding and Your hilarious idea to surround us with water that would kill us if we drank it."

"Up until now, I was with you. Even the beast-on-beast combat, that had potential. But treating employees like human beings, that is madness!"

"After that I starred in Wyatt Earp Meets The Mummy. Then Six Brides For Seven Brothers. They were pictures that the whole family could enjoy. No drugs, no nudity, no cussing. Just drinking, fighting and tripping horses with wires."

"The clocks stopped at one seventeen. There was a long shear of bright light, then a series of low concussions. I think it's October but I can't be sure. I haven't kept a calender for years. Each day is more gray than the one before. It is cold and growing colder as the world slowly dies. No animals have survived, and all the crops are long gone. Someday all the trees in the world will fall. The roads are peopled by refugees towing carts, and gangs carrying weapons, looking for fuel and food. Within a year there were fires on the ridges and deranged chanting. There has been cannibalism. Cannibalism is the great fear. Mostly I worry about food, always food. Food and the cold and our shoes. Sometimes I tell the boy old stories of courage and justice, difficult as they are to remember. All I know is the child is my warrant, and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke."

"Let me explain the rules of Squid Game. One, the attacker must enter the squid shape court, run past the defense, and then tap the area inside the squid’s head with his foot to secure the win. Two, the defender must block the attacker’s advance and force them outside of the court’s bounds in order to win. Three, if a situation arises, in which either player is unable to continue playing the game, the last one standing will be the winner."

"Okay. That’s right. That’s how I got caught in all this. Because I was slow, crazy, incompetent. Just a dimwit who lives off his mother, but you’re with me in this place. Isn’t that interesting? Why is that? Ssangmun-dong’s golden child, the genius Cho Sang-woo, who went to SNU was here? Rolling around this shithole, slamming with us, simpletons, huh! Is it my fault that you’re here?"

"Your attention, please. The numbers you see on the mannequins correspond to the order in which you will be playing. Please make your decision carefully."

"I thought you said you played this before. Gganbu, come on, you know. It’s a good friend. One who you trust a lot. You share things with them, you see? Your marbles, everything."

"Oh! If we say some prayers, do we all get to go to heaven? I should really pray too if that’s how easy it is. Our God who art in Heaven, we worked as a team to send people to your side. And we sent a bunch of them today. And please help us with a whole lot more to be with you. And I hope that from now on…"
