Squid Game One Lucky Day

Squid Game 1×9

Front Man: The sixth and final game will be Squid Game. Let me explain the rules of Squid Game.
     One. The attacker needs to go into the squid drawing, run past the defense, and tap the squid's head with his foot to win.
     Two. The defender must push the attacker out of the drawing to win.
     Three. If there comes a situation where either one of you cannot continue playing, the last one standing wins.

Gi-hun: What do you mean… by "cannot continue playing"?
Front Man: It refers to a player's death. Now, let the game begin.

Sang-woo: When we were kids, we would play just like this, and our moms would call us in for dinner. But no one calls us anymore.

Gi-hun: Why do you do this?
Front Man: You like horseracing, right? You people are horses. Horses at a racetrack.

Gi-hun: Who… are you?
Il-nam: I… make money by lending it.
Gi-hun: How easily do you make money… for you to do something like that?
Il-nam: Money... You know what making money is like. Is that something easy?

Il-nam: Do you… still trust people? Even after what you've been through?

Il-nam: That money was the reward you got for your luck and hard work. You have the right to use it. Look at me. Life is… short.

Il-nam: Do you know what someone with no money has in common with someone with too much money? Living is no fun for them. If you have too much money, no matter what you buy, eat, or drink, everything gets boring in the end.

In-ho: May I ask why?
Il-nam: Because there's no way watching it can be more fun than playing it yourself.

Front Man

Squid Game 1×8

Sang-woo: Do you know why your life is so pathetic? Because you ask such dumb questions even in this kind of situation. Because you're such a nosy-ass idiot who's freaking slow, and always have to get into trouble to know it's trouble.
Gi-hun: Sure. It's all my fault I ended up like this. I'm slow and incompetent. I'm a nosy dimwit who lives off the back of his old mother. But why is the pride of Ssangmun-dong, the genius Cho Sang-woo of SNU, here? Rolling around this shithole with a dimwit like me. Is that also my fault?

Detective Hwang Jun-ho: Who are you?

VIPS

Squid Game 1×7

Front Man: Welcome to the fifth game. Before we begin the game, please choose a mannequin before you numbered from 1 through 16.

Jang Deok-su: There are 15 more tiles ahead of me... The probability that I'll get to the end… two to the power of fifteen. That's a 1-in-32,768 chance. Shit.

Player 062: Quit your dirty tricks! The rule is that we go in order.
Deok-su: Piss off, fucker. This is hell. There are no rules in hell. If you're dying to go, go first.

Gganbu

Squid Game 1×6

Front Man: What you are witnessing right now are the ones who broke the rules of this world for their benefit and tainted the pure ideology of this world. Each and every one of you is considered equal in this world. You must be guaranteed equal opportunity without any discrimination. We promise not to let such an unfortunate incident be repeated. We truly apologize for this tragedy.

Front Man: Welcome to your fourth game. This game will be played in teams of two. Find someone you wish to play the game with. When two people agree to play as a team and shake hands, you become partners.

Gi-hun: Sir. Will you team up with me?

Sang-woo: Let's do this.
Ali: That means one of us will die.
Sang-woo: Then do you want to stand around and die together? Or will you die on my behalf?

Ji-yeong: Let's talk.
Sae-byeok: Talk about what?
Ji-yeong: Things we couldn't tell other people. One of us is going to die here anyway. No matter what we tell each other, there's no reason to feel embarrassed. Don't you think?

Ji-yeong: Thanks for playing with me.

Player 001: Why don't we play one more round betting everything we have?
Gi-hun: What?
Player 001: I'll bet everything I have. You bet everything you have too.
Gi-hun: What do you mean?
Player 001: We're going to bet everything you have and everything I have. That's only fair.

A Fair World

Squid Game 1×5

Ji-yeong: Do we all go to heaven if we say a few prayers? Shit, then I have to pray too. Heavenly Father, we worked together as a team today to send many people to your side. Please help us send more people to your side from now on--

Front man: You ruined the most important aspect of this place. Equality. Everyone is equal while they play this game. Here, the players get to play a fair game under the same conditions. Those people suffered from inequality and discrimination out in the world, and we're giving them the last chance to fight fair and win.

Stick to the Team

Squid Game 1×4

Gi-hun: You should join us.
Sae-byeok: I don't trust people. Especially people who ended up in a place like this.
Gi-hun: Are you seriously saying that to me?... You don't trust people because they're trustworthy. It's because you have nothing else to lean on.

Gi-hun: If the game is played by teams of ten, maybe it's Tail Tag or Why Did You Come to My House. If it's Tail Tag, we need to be fast. If it's Why Did You Come to My House, it's just Rock-Paper-Scissors. What should we do?
Sang-woo: We already have an elderly man and a woman, so we need to find more men.
Gi-hun: What if they make us play Elastics or Gonggi? Women are better at those.
Sang-woo: That's true, but probability-wise, men are better at most games.

Mi-nyeo: Boys, I'll give you a special chance to join me. You boys are very lucky today. My gosh. I'd be much more useful than these scrawny girls. On top of that, I'm good at everything except for the things I'm not.

Player 001: Tug-of-War isn't really about strength. ... In Tug-of-War, with a good strategy and good teamwork, you can win even if your team is weaker. ... I played my share of Tug-of-War in my hometown when I was young, and I rarely ever lost. Even when there was a ssireum athlete on the other team, putting the odds very much against us. Listen closely, and I'll tell you how I beat them back in the day.
     First off, the leader is very important. That person is closest to the leader of the opposition, and the rest of the team looks at the back of their leader. If the leader seems weak or dispirited, then the game is already over.
     Then at the end of the rope, you'll need someone dependable like the anchor of a ship.
     Placing people is also important. Place the rope in the middle, and people go on alternating sides. Place your two feet straight forward, and stick the rope between your armpits. That way, you can put in all of your strength.
     And lastly, this is the most important thing. When the game starts, for the first ten seconds you just have to hold out. You should practically lie down. Push your lower abdomen up to the sky, and push your head back to the point you can see the groin of the person behind you. If you do that, the other team won't be able to pull us to their side. Hold out for just ten seconds like that. Then the opposition will get flustered thinking, "Why won't they even budge?" Because they would have believed that they were much stronger. If you can hold out for that long, there will be a moment when the opponents' rhythm breaks.

The Man with the Umbrella

Squid Game 1×3

Player 001: I thought you were gone for good.
Gi-hun: I'm not going to die that easily.

Deok-su: What are you good at?
Mi-nyeo: Everything except for the things I'm not.

Gi-hun: But there are too many games. There are Ddakji Game, Dabanggu, Hopscotch, Biseokchigi, Tag, Don Katsu, Freeze Tag. And for girls, Gonggi, Elastics, and Cat's Cradle.

Sang-woo: Umbrella? Why?
Gi-hun: My mom scolded me a lot because I always lost my umbrellas. In the end, she only gave me broken ones. I always wanted to carry a good umbrella just like the other kids... You don't want the star? Do you want to switch?
Player 001: No, the star sounds great. We rarely ever get to see stars in this day and age.

Hell

Squid Game 1×2

Player 066:I'd rather stay here and die trying than die out there like a dog.

Police Officer: All right, then. Let me sum up everything you said. Someone offered tens of billions of won for playing games, so you followed. They made you play Red Light, Green Light, and they shot everyone who got caught. But when you said you wanted to leave, they let you go, and you don't know what they look like or where this all took place. Am I correct?

Player 001: You know, I don't have long left to live anyway. I don't want to sit around waiting for my death like this. You never know. I might end up winning in there. When we played Red Light, Green Light, I finished the game before you did.
Gi-hun: But still, that place is…
Player 001: After I came back out here, I realized everything they said was true. Life out here is more tormenting.

Gi-hun: You bastard! Do you think money solves everything?

Gi-hun: I'm sorry. I'm not in a position to help anyone at the moment.

Red Light, Green Light

Squid Game 1×1

Gi-hun: My town called that game "the Squid Game". It was named so because the game was played in a squid-like outline. The rules are simple...

Ga-yeong: Dad, you're free to get into fights, but don't get beaten up.

The Salesman: Sir. Do you have a minute?
Gi-hun: I don't believe in Jesus.
The Salesman: It's not that. I'd like to give you a great opportunity--
Gi-hun: I come from a Buddhist household, so stop bothering me and get lost.
The Salesman: Sir. Would you like to play a game with me?

Gi-hun: I didn't gamble or steal. I worked my hands, face, and body off to earn this money.

Driver: Mr. Seong Gi-hun?
Gi-hun: Yes.
Driver: The password?
Gi-hun: Red light, green light.

Player 001: I'm just counting the numbers. My doctor said counting numbers is good for preventing dementia.
Gi-hun: Why did you come here when you're old enough to worry about dementia? You should be eating meals your daughter-in-law makes for you, then lying down on the warm floor watching your grandkids acting cute.
Player 001: What about your parents? Do they get to eat fresh-cooked meals their daughter-in-law makes for them?

    Consent form clause 1: A player is not allowed to stop playing.
    Consent form clause 2: A player who refuses to play will be eliminated.
    Consent form clause 3: Games may be terminated if the majority agrees.

Front Man: The first game is Red Light, Green Light. You can move forward while "it" shouts out, "Green Light, Red Light" If your movement is detected afterward, you will be eliminated. .... Those who cross the finish line without getting caught in five minutes pass this round. Then let the game begin.
