A scene from Mystery of Mamo 1978
Mamo

Looking for something?

Lupin

Yeah, whoever's in charge of this loony bin. What is this, Costume Day for the inmates?

Mamo

[laughs]

Such wit. This is neither an insane asylum nor a masquerade ball. Those particular individuals you have met are not imitations, Lupin, but the real thing. [turns to Lupin, revealing himself. Lupin gapes, horrified] Oh, yes. I know who you are. And in case you haven't guessed who I am, I am Mamo.

Lupin

Yeah, you're Fujiko's boss.

Mamo

I hired her to bring me the Philosopher's Stone, and now at last it's mine, no thanks to you. Still, I wanted to meet you; you are the greatest thief on the face of the Earth.

Lupin

Gee, tell me something I don't know. Look, I'm not working for you, if that's what you have in mind.

Mamo

Actually, I've been thinking about your compensation for the Stone, and I've decided to give you the greatest gift of all: eternal life.

Lupin

How thrilling. But, if you don't mind, I'd rather you just gave me back the Stone, you little wacko.

Mamo

The prophet is always regarded as a madman by those too backwards to see the truth.

Lupin

Well, then you must be getting used to it by now. Come on, hand it over! [charges at Mamo and almost falls off the platform]

Mamo

Men like you never trust what they cannot see.

Lupin

Oh, yeah? [steps on the invisible glass and continues charging at Mamo] OK, pal, enough with the sight gags! [falls screaming through an invisible hole, makes a hard landing on his rear end, and gets up as Mamo cackles at him] YOU'RE A LUNATIC! YOU SAID IT YOURSELF: I'M THE GREATEST THIEF ON EARTH! I'LL GET THAT STONE! COUNT ON IT!
