Most scenes together: Lupin & Jigen (31), Lupin & Mamo (20), Lupin & Fujiko (19)
Uh, well, what if I told you that the real Lupin was the guy that got executed last spring?
Yeah? You can die a hundred more times for all I care, it doesn't change a thing! As long as there's even one of you left, I'll keep following you straight through the gates of Hell!
What the...? GOEMON!
I suggest we hurry.
Oh, I see your point.
There's no way out, wise guy! You're surrounded!
Oh no, here we go again...! [the chase begins as Lupin takes off on his motorcycle with Zenigata giving chase by foot]
Take it easy! You wouldn't want a sunstroke, Detective, not at your age!
What the...?! [falls in]
Well, it looks like you found some shade! Catch you later!
You dirty rat! [finally explodes in a rage after a moment] I know I've said this before, but don't think you've seen the last of me! Wherever you go, I'll track you down, and when I do, it ain't gonna be pretty!
You think I touched it?
Not good. Let's hurry.
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.
Huh?
What about that execution?
Well, you see, the one who they executed... was probably the real me.
I don't like to hear weird stories like that.
Neither do I. This whole thing begins to make me think I'm not real! Anyway, I'll fix that.
Your persistence is most admirable. Wasn't I supposed to be dead?
You idiot! Even if you die 100 times, that's not the point. As long as a Lupin exists, I'm obliged to pursue him.
It seems you do not fear death. All right, then I will tell you. It was your copy who was executed. You are, indeed, the original Lupin. Now, die with peace of mind! [He sends a barrage of lasers at Lupin. Lupin holds up the tip of the Zantetsuken and deflects the lasers back at him]
And are you looking for something?
You're the head doctor? I'd like to find the host of this party.
This is not a mental hospital, and we are not having a costume ball, either. These are all the actual people, just as you see them here, Lupin. [turns to Lupin, revealing himself. Lupin gapes, horrified] I am Mamo. I now have the Wiseman Stone.
You're Margo's client?
The reason I didn't take the Stone personally was that I wanted to know you. I'm satisfied with the result. You are the greatest thief on the face of the Earth.
I already know that, but I'm not working for you, and I never will!
I haven't forgotten your compensation. I intend to give you the greatest gift of eternal life.
Oh, come off it! There's nothing good about living so long, you degenerated kid!
I do feel sorry for your foolish extra-un-ordinary conceptions.
Stop using those big words! Just give me back the stone! [charges at Mamaux and almost falls off the platform]
Damn! [steps on the invisible glass and continues charging at Mamo] This trick with the hard glass is old stuff now! Just give me the... [falls screaming through an invisible hole and makes a hard landing on his rear end] Ouch, that smarts! [gets up as Mamo cackles at him] Where are you, Mamaux? This time, you got me really angry, you know! I'LL FIX YOU!
History was made by my continuous interference. Understand? A clone was the passage to God!
What a man! So my being born was also some of your doing?
You are nothing but an animal given birth by an absurdity! And to help make your work easier for you, I made an exact copy of you - and I wonder what happened to it? The man who was executed could have been the original Lupin.
Don't talk stupid! I am what I am: the genuine Lupin III!
I would think about it if I were you!
[He disappears, laughing]
So... even a clone has its limitations.
Limitations?
The transfer of chromosome information has not been exactly 100% complete. As you repeat the copying process, the image begins to fade... the endless clone chain reaction has been disturbing the cell system. For 130 generations, I have preserved my original body in all its exact detail by floating it in a special Ringer's Solution. Since then, my bodies have all been copies of a copy.
You mean that... you're an inferior quality Mamaux?
All this is for the sake of immortality... [dies]
Feeling suicidal, are we? I don't blame you. Just to show there are no hard feelings, I will tell you. It was your clone they hanged in Transylvania. So you're the real Lupin. Now, you may die with peace of mind.
Goemon, I owe you one.
You are so brave. Very well. If that's what you want, I'll grant you a hero's death. And since I'm feeling magnanimous, I'll even reveal to you, that it was your clone who died last spring! Now, REST! IN! PEACE!
Thanks, Goemon... wherever you are.
You're not afraid of dying, are you? I'll tell you this: The one executed was the copy. You are, indeed, the original Lupin. Now that you have closure... die! [He sends a barrage of lasers at Lupin. Lupin holds up the tip of the Zantetsuken and deflects the lasers back at him]
You don't fear death, I see. I cannot but admire that, and so I shall tell you that it was your clone who was hanged, and you are the original. Now, die with peace of mind. [He sends a barrage of lasers at Wolf. Wolf holds up the tip of the Zantetsuken and deflects the lasers back at him]
Are you looking for someone?
Are you the head shrink? I'd like to meet whoever's hosting this party.
This is not a hospital, and it's not a costume ball, either. The people you've met, Wolf, are actually the people you've met. [turns to Wolf, revealing himself. Wolf gapes, horrified] My name is Mamo. Yes, I know who you are, and Fujiko no doubt mentioned me to you.
So then you're Fujiko's boss?
I now have the Wiseman Stone, but the reason I employed you to steal it rather than doing so myself is that I love seeing excellence at work. Congratulations on being the world's finest thief!
Hell, I knew that all along. But I wasn't working for you, and I'm not going to!
But I have an offer in mind, which I think you will not be able to refuse: an offer not of money, but of everlasting life.
Will you give me an advance? Listen, I've been around much too long to believe that kind of bullshit.
If that is how you respond, it seems that granting this boon to you would be a total waste.
Ah, shucks, why don't you give me the Stone back and call it quits, OK? [charges at Mamo and almost falls off the platform]
Who needs it to walk on glass, huh? [falls screaming through an invisible hole, makes a hard landing on his rear end, and gets up as Mamo cackles at him] GO AHEAD AND LAUGH, MAMO, BUT YOU'VE GOT ME REAL MAD NOW, WHICH IS A DANGEROUS THING TO DO TO ME!
Are you looking for something?
Are you the asylum director? I'd like to meet the party organizer.
This is neither a psychiatric ward nor a costume party. They're who they seem to be, Lupin. [turns to Lupin, revealing himself. Lupin gapes, horrified] I am Mamo. I've received the Philosopher's Stone.
You're Fujiko's employer?
I didn't steal it myself, so that I could test your ability. I'm satisfied with the result. You're the greatest thief in history.
So what? I'm not in this business for you.
Not to forget your compensation... I'm thinking about giving you eternal life.
There you go. Nothing good comes from longevity, old buddy-boy.
It is unfortunate that you have such an aberrant way of thinking.
Stop your mumbling, and give me back the stone! [charges at Mamo and almost falls off the platform]
Crap! [steps on the invisible glass and continues charging at Mamo] I'm so sick of the trick with reinforced glass. So... [falls through an invisible hole] Ahh! [makes a hard landing on his rear end] Ouch! Ouch! [gets up as Mamo cackles at him] Where are you, Mamo? I'm gonna get you! Remember that!
Are you looking for something?
Are you the hospital director, or just another one of the inmates?
You seem to be under the misapprehension that this is some sort of an asylum for the insane. I assure you, nothing could be further from the truth, Mr. Lupin. [turns to Lupin, revealing himself. Lupin gapes, horrified]
Uh...
Yes, I am Mamo. I have obtained the Philosopher's Stone now.
You're the big scary bad guy?
Of course, I could have done it myself, but I simply wanted to test your mettle. Your reputation is well-deserved; you may indeed be the greatest thief ever.
Yeah, but it's not good for business when people rip me off!
What would you say if I told you that by way of compensation I was prepared to make an offer of eternal life?
I'd say that when it comes to living, more ain't necessarily more!
I see you personify the type of genius that's incapable of rational thought.
All I want is that Stone back! Now, just...! [charges at Mamo and almost falls off the platform]
I was giving you more credit than you deserve! [falls screaming through an invisible hole and makes a hard landing on his rear end] Oh, me and my big mouth...! [gets up as Mamo cackles at him] Hey, Mamo! You think that's so funny? Well, you'll be laughing on the other side of your mouth, you hear me?
