US Doctor in Morgue : Mr. Kim,
[running a finger along the counter]
US Doctor in Morgue : I hate dust more than anything.
Young Korean Doctor : Oh, I will clean again.
US Doctor in Morgue : You don't have to clean up now. Why don't you dump this first?
Young Korean Doctor : That's formaline.
US Doctor in Morgue : Formaldehyde, to be precise. To be even more precise, dirty formaldehyde. Every bottle is coated with layers of dust. Pour 'em into the sink.
Young Korean Doctor : Excuse me?
US Doctor in Morgue : Just empty every bottle to the very last drop.
Young Korean Doctor : It's just - They are toxic chemicals, and the regulations state...
US Doctor in Morgue : Pour them right down the drain, Mr. Kim.
Young Korean Doctor : If I pour them in the drain, they'll run into the Han River.
US Doctor in Morgue : That's right. Let's just dump them in the Han River.
Young Korean Doctor : But, you know, this is not just any toxic chemicals...
US Doctor in Morgue : The Han River is very broad, Mr. Kim. Let's try to be broad-minded about this. Anyway, that's an order. So, start pouring.
