- Kim Min-ja: [after Han-mo tells her to keep her child] I said, no.
- Seong Han-mo: Then what are you going to do? You have to give birth to it.
- Kim Min-ja: It's up to me if I want to have the baby or not.
- Seong Han-mo: Haven't you heard of "Plus Five"?
- Kim Min-ja: What are you talking about?
- Seong Han-mo: Plus Five! If the baby is older than five months, you have to give birth to it.
- Kim Min-ja: Why?
- Seong Han-mo: It's the law.
- [Min-ja tries to help Nak-an stand on his feet. But his legs don't work and he abruptly sits back down]
- Kim Min-ja: Oh my god.
- [She tries to make him stand again]
- Kim Min-ja: Here.
- [She lets go of his legs and he collapses again]
- Kim Min-ja: What is wrong with you?
- [Nak-an falls down again and again and again, as though his legs have completely given in. Han-mo tries making him stand]
- Kim Min-ja: Be careful.
- [Nak-an falls back down once more. Min-ja realizes that it's hopeless and starts crying]
- Kim Min-ja: What happened?
- [She holds her son tightly]
- Kim Min-ja: What did they do to you? Where did they do this to you?
- [as she cries this, she grabs Han-mo's trouser leg and shakes it]
- Kim Min-ja: What's wrong with our Nak-an?
- [Han-mo tries again and again and again to make Nak-an stand and each time the boy collapses]
- Kim Min-ja: What happened to our son? What happened to our son? What happened to our son?
- [Han-mo races to the front of the shop in rage]
- Kim Min-ja: Our son...
- [Han-mo crashes through the window of the barber shop, sobbing. He stands out in the street]
- Seong Han-mo: You sons of bitches! How dare you do this to my son? How could you bastards do this? You bastards!
- [Still crying, he gets out his scissors and begins to shear off large chunks of his own hair]
- Seong Han-mo: Do you know who I am? I'm the President's barber. I'm the President's barber. I won't let you get away with this, you bastards.
- President: Mr. Seong, how many kids do you have?
- Seong Han-mo: Well, Mr. President, I have one son. He's ten years old.
- President: Hmm... So he was born when the country was in turmoil.
- Seong Han-mo: Yes, Mr. President. Actually, it was because of Plus Five...
- President: Plus Five?
- Seong Han-mo: Yes, Mr. President. My wife discovered that she was pregnant at five months in. She didn't want the child. Do you remember the Plus Five rule? I told her she had to have it because of the Plus Five rule. I insisted she had to give birth since it had been five months. That's how my son was born. Now when the locals see him, they call him Plus Five Nak-an.
- [Han-mo laughs as he brushes the President's hair]
- President: The intellectuals... are the problem. That Plus Five or whatever is their doing. I graduated from Japanese Military School. That's how I know phrases like that crossed over from Japan.
- Jang Hyeok-su: Right, Mr. President.
- President: I should drive out those remaining pro-Japanese congressmen. Intellectuals have wreaked havoc on our nation in the past and present.
