[Mamo shows Lupin and Fujiko surveillance footage of Jigen and Goemon] [chuckling]
Friends of yours, Lupin?
Huh?!
How the hell did they get here?!
Ah, but wait. There's more!
[Inspector Zenigata, with a picture of Lupin, is shown questioning Laozi of his location]
Zenigata! [laughs] He always said he'd follow me into the depths of Hell!
Look. He’s interrogating Laozi, the great ancient philosopher.
Or some fruitcake who thinks he's Laozi...
It is Laozi!
Okeydokey!
[Mamo shows them images of the people he has cloned]
Laugh if you will, but this is the work of 10,000 years. A masterwork, if I say so myself. The leading lights of science, philosophy, art. All under one roof, and all are perfectly real!
Hm! So, sort of a Noah's Ark?
Let's just say that if you've never given any thought about the world, starting now would either be a particularly good idea, or a pathetically pointless one, if you catch my drift, Mr. Lupin.
Uh?!
Because the time is nigh, Mr. Lupin, but sadly the guest list is... quite short. Only the elite of history's most brilliant and beautiful people!
[apparently deep in thought]
Oh, uh... I'm sorry to hear that. [chuckles, then laughs hysterically]
I imagine you are.
[still laughing]
No, I mean, it's just after all that work – an ugly, demented gnome like you isn't even eligible!
Huh. Quite annoying. That's exactly what I’m talking about, my dear Fujiko. Obviously, eternal life would be wasted on a vulgarian like that man there.
He's not even in our class. In fact, he's barely in our species!
Well, if Lupin can't come along, I'm not interested.
Fujiko!
No, Mamo. I'm sorry.
Hm?!
He's hard enough to take now. Imagine him all grumpy and flabby!
