- Mongyong Lee: Chunhyang, take this mirror. My love is as pure as the mirror's reflection. Cherish it and think of me when you use it.
- Chunhyang Sung: Take this, my husband. My unchangeable love is the same as the color of jade. Think of me when you see it.
- Mongyong Lee: Bring me the Book of 1000 Characters.
- Pangja: Why read a beginner's book to study for your test?
- Mongyong Lee: Because each character has profound meaning.
- Mongyong Lee: Go see how far the sun has fallen.
- Pangja: It hasn't set yet, master.
- Mongyong Lee: Why is it moving so slowly today?
- Pangja: It seemed to run so fast yesterday, but today it must have a boil in its foot.
- Mongyong Lee: A painting of the famous Minister Kang. Did you draw this too?
- Chunhyang Sung: You're making me blush, Master Lee.
- Mongyong Lee: While fishing with no bait, he waits forever to meet King Moon, and later fulfills his dream. While avoiding a disrupt world and becoming a hermit, it's an ambitious life that understands patience. Your wish to meet a good husband is shown in the painting.
- Mongyong Lee: Chunhyang, come here. The night is late. Let's sleep.
- Chunhyang Sung: I don't want to.
- Mongyong Lee: Listen to me and come here. They say for a married couple, ever-lasting happiness depends on the first night.
- Chunhyang Sung: But if you grab the wife's hand, they say it's bad luck.
- Pangja: She cursed me in words I didn't understand. And told me to repeat them to you.
- Mongyong Lee: What words?
- Pangja: She said, 'The wild geese desires flowers... ' or was it the other way.
- Mongyong Lee: Really? They're not insults, but a proverb with deep meaning. Like the wild geese desire the sea, the crabs their holes, and a butterfly's flower, she wants me to come to her.
- Chunhyang Sung: The wild geese desire the sea, the crabs desire their holes, and a butterfly desires a flower.
- Chunhyang Sung: Although a lotus blossoms from clay, it's clean and enchanting, and its scent travels for miles.
- Mongyong Lee: The farther a lotus scent travels, the fresher and purer. Your scent fills my room, and intoxicates me. Instead of the lotus, you're the best flower, Chunhyang.
- Chunhyang Sung: A governor is loyal to one king. A wife is loyal to one husband. But would you fall on your knees, and serve two kings, governor?
- Chunhyang Sung: My husband. Tomorrow at the new governor's birthday feast, I'll be executed. Don't let anyone touch my body. Take me to Seoul and bury me in your ancestors' graveyard. Then prepare a simple altar for me, and say these words: 'Chunhyang, cherish the drink I pour for you.' If you do this, I can rest in peace.
- Mongyong Lee: Adoring a pretty woman is natural. But don't you think what you did to Chunhyang was too harsh?
- Gov. Byun Hakdo: Class has a definite order. A daughter of a courtesan becomes one naturally. She didn't disobey just me, but she disgraced the law, and committed treason.
- Mongyong Lee: It wasn't injustice... it was her will to be a human being.
- Lord of Soonchun: After the feast, Chunhyang will be flogged to death. I won't miss it for anything.
