Context
Seo shouts it at a fellow detective when they are pressured to back off. Ryoo Seung-wan took the phrase from actress Kang Soo-yeon, who often said it.
Meaning
"We don't have money, but do we lack pride?" It became the film's rallying cry and sums up its argument that dignity is worth more than wealth. Police officers and others later quoted it as a motto for doing the job honestly.
지금 내 기분이 그래... 어이가 없네
Context
Tae-oh says it while explaining his irritation to others, playing on "eoi," the handle of a millstone.
