Dan Dunn quotes from Mystery of Mamo (1978)

Lupin

You think I touched it?

Not good. Let's hurry.

Lupin

How can you hurry through all this? [Turns on visor, showing laser lines in the way.] 80 centimeter width.

OK. [Gives Lupin a 80 centimeter bar.] Lupin.

Lupin

Huh?

What about that execution?

Lupin

Well, you see, the one who they executed... was probably the real me.

I don't like to hear weird stories like that.

Lupin

Neither do I. This whole thing begins to make me think I'm not real! Anyway, I'll fix that.

Accept your fate, Lupin! You'll never escape from this level! Close off all exits! What are you doing standing here? Ah! Lupin is right down here! Switch on the lights!

Well, I see your sixth sense really did work.

And what does this mean?

What's that?

Unless I give them the order, no one is to do any shooting!

Enough is enough!

Interfering with the affairs of my country...!

Egyptian Police Officer

It's Lupin!

There goes Lupin! Fire! FIRE!

You're trapped, Lupin! That's the only passage leading up!

Lupin

You sure are the classic type. Why don't you take that hat off for a change?

Don't be silly! I can't take the hat off, it happens to be my trademark!

Lupin

She sure floored me that time! I still feel a little dizzy...

Serves you right for being a playboy. If you had grabbed her in the beginning, we wouldn't have wasted our time!

Lupin, women and business are not compatible.

Lupin

Stop trying to find fault with me! It was all calculated from the start! [puts on the headphones Dan Dunn had given him as Dunn searches for the signal planted on the Wiseman Stone]

Huh. What a fantastic brain.

Lupin

The Pharaohs said that eternal life, the dream of perpetual youth which the Emperor Xi searched for, is concealed in the Wiseman Stone, which has been handed down from time immemorial. Hm, I see.

Hm.

Have you finished with your history lesson?

Lupin

Don't be funny! I'm not studying 'cause I like it! You know that stone is not just a simple little pebble, don't you? [passes the books to Don Samurai and Dan Dunn] Ah, if you don't believe me, read it for yourself.

Someone's pulling our leg.

I guess so. [drinks from his wine glass] Margo's getting smarter.

That's nothing unusual, it's just wasted time. [gets up]

Lupin

Toilet?

Don't you try my patience! I'm leaving!

Lupin

Samurai...

I guess this is going to be the end.

Lupin

Then we might as well go underground!

Huh, that's some enemy we have!

Lupin

Yeah, our nest is only ten kilometers from here. [Dan Dunn looks at him incredulously. Lupin returns a defensive look]

The weapons and food are all gone.

Lupin

Thanks a lot; I can see that.

Lupin! Forget that woman. This is it. I've had enough; I've reached my limit! And it must have been Margo who told them about this place of ours! If you don’t drop her, I'm getting out of this deal right now!

Lupin

Oh, stop joking.

Joking? I thought you were the one who was joking! It was a mistake to take this job from a female. And then, out of sheer vanity, you decided to accept evil in return for good!

Lupin

You mean all females have a wicked nature?

The thing I can't stand is that secret, indecent intention of yours!

Forget it. That's one thing you can never cure.

And just what are you to Lupin? If you were a true friend, you should have cured his immoral habit years ago!

Don't get hysterical, you crazy man!

I've been wanting to cut that hat of yours.

Hmm? What's that mean?

I want to see if you're hiding a bald head!

Well, now! Wanna fight?

Lupin

Oh, all right, all right! I realized I was wrong! I'll reform, I'll reform! I promise I'll drop Margo like a hot potato! Now, let's change the mood and leave! You don't want to stay here and starve, do you?

Lupin, where are you going?

Lupin

If we go over that mountain along the border, we'll get to the Atlantic Ocean.

Idiot! That's more than 100 kilometers!

Lupin

It's just the width of a finger on one of those world maps!

And you must be the one called Flintstone?

Gordon

No, you're wrong. My name is Gordon. You must be Dan Dunn?

Don't bandy my name about! And what do you want, tailing me like this?

Don Samurai?

Gordon

Well, you'd better come quietly.

So, this is the genuine American navy?

It's stupid. This is too unrealistic.

You and me are the things that are unrealistic.

Gordon

Stand up! Special Presidential Aide, Mr. Gissinger! [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds]

What did he say?

He said... this guy's the mastermind for the biggest man in the world! [Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between US President Jimmy Carter and the Secretary General]

Secretary General

Mr. President. Do you really have good control of your government? Do you realize I'm being blackmailed?

US President

Blackmailed?

Secretary General

I am to supply all secret technical data on biochemistry, cytology, gene technology... and if I refuse, they’ll attack with an atomic missile.

US President

I've been threatened the same way. And to prove that they really mean it, they've already destroyed several of our communication satellites!

Secretary General

I must remind you that it has nothing to do with us.

US President

I do realize it.

Secretary General

Then, do you think that man is...?

That's right. It is I, Mamaux! [Gissinger stops the tape]

It is not necessary to explain to you who these people are. We are interested only in the blackmailer who broke in on the hotline… when they were having a secret conversation. [he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]

That's right. It is I, Mamaux! The greatest brain in the world. A prophet... or you may call me God!

US President

God?! You must be insane!

Secretary General

For one who calls himself God, your requests are pretty weird...

Requests? This is an order. If you really know what is going on in the world right now, you should know better than this. [Gordon stops the tape]

Let's hear the rest.

Hm? That's enough. The rest is much too sensitive. We are positive that this man really means what he says.

Is that right? [lights a cigarette] Well, anyway... it's got nothing to do with us.

Ah, but it does. Most of the things that Mamaux demands from us was stolen by that man Lupin. The bottom line: we want to know where Mamaux is!

I have no idea at all.

Gordon

Your hiding won't do you any good! You men have always been working together with that thief Lupin! [Dan hands him Margo’s clue to Lupin’s whereabouts] What is this?

A clue to find Lupin. It’s written by Lupin's double-crossing girlfriend, and it reads "water".

Gordon

What does that mean?

If I knew that, neither of us'd be here!

Gordon

Stop kidding me! [grabs Dan by his shirt] There are many ways that we can torture you!

Is that the way you operate democracy?! Well, then, I've got news for you!

Gordon

What news?

I was a fan of Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart... but not anymore!

Gordon

Why, you...!

Gordon! These two, they know nothing. [whispers to Gordon, who opens a door] We will approach this problem from a different angle. You will be released immediately.

Gordon

Be grateful to democracy! [closes the door]

Hm... I didn't have to give up Humphrey Bogart!

Oh, terrible! Everything he said was a lie.

Lupin

Not all of it. It's true that he's trying to find a way to avoid death.

Don't be stupid. You know that's impossible.

Lupin

A clone, you know.

Oh, a clone!

Lupin

It's a scientific method used to make an exact copy of a human being. They only need a single hair; anyway, all they need is one cell to fiddle around with; to make a perfect look-alike. If you go on repeating that process, one man could go on living, forever and ever!

If what you say is true, then the one who was executed...

Lupin

All you need is a single hair... to make a perfect look-alike...

Don't go, Lupin!

Lupin

Well... y'know, he stole my dream. I've got to get it back.

You mean that woman, don't you?

Lupin

You sure are the classic type - completely hopeless.

They sure get along well.

He's always being chased, no matter where he is.
