A scene from Mystery of Mamo 1978
Detective Zenigata

[chuckles as he lifts the casket lid]

Who do you think you are, Count Dracula? Well, I read the book, and Dracula gets his in the end, just like you're gonna get yours. Here! Let me treat you a nice "stake" dinner! [stakes the corpse, which promptly explodes. He recognizes a very alive Lupin] MY!

Lupin

Why, Detective Zenigata! Long time no see, Old Man.

Detective Zenigata

Lupin! You're dead! Wait a second, that stiff in the coffin, that was you, right?!

Lupin

So they say. I'm a little confused myself.

Detective Zenigata

They guaranteed that you were deader than a doornail! There wasn't a shadow of a doubt!

Lupin

It's news to me. Frankly, I've never felt better in my life.

Detective Zenigata

Well, just hold still a second and we can fix that! [swings a piece of wood at Lupin, who dodges, commencing a chase. By the time Zenigata catches up, Lupin has already reached his escape vehicle]

Lupin

Hate to cut this short, but dead or alive, I think it's time I got out of here. [takes off, chuckling] Now don't forget to write!

Detective Zenigata

Ya little...! I'll be writing "rest in peace" on your tombstone when I'm done with you! That lousy little thief, I knew he was still alive! [laughs] You had everyone else falling for it! Not Zenigata; this is one detective you can't shake that easily! This is one guy who's gonna dog your every step to the very gates of Hell!
