Mystery of Mamo 1978 quotes, page 2

Ha-ha! Hiya, Wolf buddy! I know what you're up to; but I ain't buying your innocent "undead Dracula" act, okay? You've met your match in me! AAAAHHH! [stakes the corpse with a yell. The corpse promptly explodes. As he recognizes a very alive Wolf, he screams]

Surely, you didn't expect me to fall for that "pointed stake" stuff?

Wolf! You're alive! It's not what you're supposed to be!

Seems not. I find it all very confusing.

Yes, you definitely are Wolf III! I'm positive of that!

I'm not denying it, but that doesn't get us very far.

I'm gonna make certain you're dead! [swings a piece of wood at Wolf, who dodges, commencing a chase. By the time Zenigata catches up, Wolf has already reached his escape vehicle.]

Bye-bye! Sorry, but I'll have to hear your life story another time! [takes off, chuckling] You take care now!

You rat! I'm gonna take care, all right; I'm gonna take care of you! It doesn't matter how long it might take! [laughs] You may think you've gotten away, Wolf, but you're up against a great detective! I'll follow you into the fire of Hell, and when I catch you, I'll brand you with cattle irons!

Watch that blood pressure!

All right! The first unit takes the north passage! The rest of you take the south portal in case he tries to make a run for it!

Not so fast, Detective Zenigata! Who put you in command?

Stay out of my way! I've got a job to do here! [climbs on top of the nearest vehicle] Lupin's in there! I can smell him! Forward, men! Charge! Go! Go! Go!

Give it up, Lupin! We've got the whole pyramid surrounded! Go that way! Seal the exits! Hop to it! Hit those lights!

Well, seems you were right after all.

Hey, what's with all the guns?

What do you mean?

Listen, I want that little rat taken alive! No shooting, is that understood?

Is that so?

I do not take orders...!

Who do you think you are?

He's coming!

What are you waiting for, you sons of goats? FIRE!

Not so fast, we got him just where we want him! There's no way down from up there!

Lupin

Too bad. I thought we'd finally seen the last of that mangy fedora of yours.

Jigen

What are you talking about? The hat's my trademark, kinda like you and your bad haircut!

There's no way out, Wolf! It's all over! Seal off the exits! That way, you men! Don't let him get away! He's got to be down here! Turn the lights on!

Congratulations on your sixth sense! It does seem to work exceptionally well.

And what do these guns mean?

Precautions.

Huh! Unless they're issued with silver bullets, your men would waste their ammunition!

You're under arrest!

You can't arrest me!

This will lead to an international incident!

Lead to what?

The days of Western interference are over!

Motorbike.

That's dangerous driving! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!

That'll lead you up to Level 8! Can't get out that way, Wolfie!

At a time like this, your preoccupation with your hat strikes me as being a bit over the top!

Jigen

It defines my persona to the world as a cool dude. I feel naked without it.

Unit 1, cover the south level! Units 2 and 3, take the north passage!

Listen, Zenigata! I'm in charge of these troops, and I insist...

Hear this, Captain: it's me that's talkin' here! [climbs on top of the nearest vehicle] My sixth sense tells me Wolf's in there! Forward! Charge!

I can't stand it. Everything he said was a lie!

Not everything. He could have found a way to live on forever...

Jigen

Knock it off, Wolf. How's that possible?

By cloning himself.

Jigen

What?

A biological copy. Scientists can make replicas of any human. All they need is a single hair; one single cell to mess around with. They can make a perfect look-alike. And if they go on doing it... e presto! Immortality!

Jigen

I wonder if might have been a clone that was strung up by the Transylvanians.

That's a question I've been puzzling over, though I don't remember losing any of my hair...

So he's just another rich, dirty old man. It was all lies.

Lupin

Not completely. Maybe the guy has found the secret of immortality...

Jigen

Yeah, right. Don’t tell me you believe that rubbish.

Lupin

He's a clone.

Jigen

Say what?

Lupin

C'mon, he has to be. It's the only possibility that makes sense! All you need is a single cell from a living thing in order to make a clone, or perfect copy, of it. And if you repeated the process, over and over, that thing, whatever it is, could conceivably go on living forever and ever!

Jigen

If this is for real, did you ever think that maybe that guy they hanged in Transylvania…

Lupin

Wasn't me after all, but a clone of me, yeah! That would certainly explain things!

I can't believe it. It was all a lie!

Lupin

Maybe it wasn't. I think he was researching immortality...

Jigen

He's just another wacky old rich guy.

Lupin

Or a clone.

Jigen

Say what?!

Lupin

You said it yourself. The guy had the bucks to pull anything off! Technologically, it's not a big deal anymore. Just a little dab of DNA'll do ya, and theoretically, if you repeat the process over and over again, you – or, successive copies of you – could live forever.

Jigen

Well, it certainly would explain the mystery of your dear departed doppelganger...

Lupin

And a single strand of my hair is really all anybody would have needed to do it.

Jigen

Anybody with a few billion dollars to play with...

That's awful. Everything was a lie.

Lupin

Not necessarily. I'm certain that he was doing some research on immortality.

Jigen

Don't be ridiculous. That's impossible.

Lupin

Cloning.

Jigen

Huh? What?

Lupin

It's a recently honed human-manufacturing technology. By taking a cell from someone's hair or any part of one's body, and giving it a little twist, you can create an exact look-alike. If you repeat this process, the same individual could live for an infinite length of time.

Jigen

If that is true, then the guy who was you and got executed was...

Lupin

From a single hair, you can make a copy...

You'd never know they were sworn enemies.

Jigen

Like you and him, minus the masochism.

Nice to see the two of them getting along.

Jigen

Yeah, just as long as those handcuffs hold him.

They're getting along well.

Jigen

Wherever he goes, he'll be chased.

They seem to have become really close friends!

Jigen

He's never happier than when he can outsmart some cop.

Give it a rest, Lupin, will ya? All right, now let's see just how far you're willing to take this little "charade", ALL THE WAY TO THE GRAVE! [stakes the corpse, which promptly explodes. The Inspector is showered in rubble] Ow. [He hears familiar laughter coming from the ceiling. As he recognizes a very alive Lupin, he screams]

Lupin

Yeah. The old "exploding Lupin" trick, and you fell for it!

Lupin! [gasps] You're alive! Ah, ah! But... you died last spring!

Lupin

Yeah, I know. I heard that rumor, too.

Huh! So, you're telling me you had "nothing to do with it", huh?!

Lupin

I'm really just as mystified as you are, Pops.

What kind of fool do you think I am?! [swings a piece of wood at Lupin]

Lupin

Whoa! Hey! Take it easy!

Get back here! LUPIN! [by the time he catches up, Lupin has already reached his escape vehicle] What the hell are you up to?

Lupin

Oh, I'd say... [He jumps onto the escape vehicle] ...at least several hundred feet, with any luck. See ya! [takes off]

What the hell?! Hey! HEY!

Lupin

Bye! Catch you later!

Dammit! Listen here! You can run all you want, but you can't hide forever! Oh, I knew it! I knew you were alive! [laughs] Nobody understands you the way I do, Lupin, not nobody! And I'm gonna catch you if it takes every last damn breath in my body! You hear that?!

Watch out, Lupin!
