A scene from Mystery of Mamo 1978
Mamo

Are you looking for someone?

Wolf

Are you the head shrink? I'd like to meet whoever's hosting this party.

Mamo

[laughs]

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.

Wolf

So then you're Fujiko's boss?

Mamo

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!

Wolf

Hell, I knew that all along. But I wasn't working for you, and I'm not going to!

Mamo

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.

Wolf

Will you give me an advance? Listen, I've been around much too long to believe that kind of bullshit.

Mamo

If that is how you respond, it seems that granting this boon to you would be a total waste.

Wolf

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]

Mamo

[laughs]

Eternal life would have advantages.

Wolf

[steps on the invisible glass and continues charging at Mamo]

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!
