Quotes
-
Daisuke Jigen : [shaking Goemon roughly] Hey, Goemon! Why the hell didn't you help him?
Ishikawa Goemon XIII : And what exactly did you do to help?
Daisuke Jigen : [bent double over the table, distraught] Lupin... Lupin...
Ishikawa Goemon XIII : Don't cry, Jigen.
[the situation is too much for Jigen and he bursts into tears]
Ishikawa Goemon XIII : I'll avenge him.
Daisuke Jigen : Idiot! You're too old-fashioned! He's in the Fourth Dimension! The 29th Century! What can an Edo Period guy like you do? If Mr. Edo Period could do something, Lupin would most likely have done something himself.
[He continues crying into the table]
Arsène Lupin III : [from behind the aquarium] Edo Period, huh? How insightful of you two. You've given me a great idea.
[Goemon and Jigen stare in shock. Jigen breaks out into a cold sweat, and his eyes well up with fresh tears]
Daisuke Jigen : Lupin...
Arsène Lupin III : Well, you see, I was worried that people would miss me when I was gone, so I hid for a bit.
[He bursts into carefree laughter]
Daisuke Jigen : [angry at Lupin for scaring him] Damn you, Lupin!

Arsène Lupin III : [to Jigen] You sure made one sexy maid, too!

[Lupin answers with a groan]
Arsène Lupin III : It's frustrating, but... this is hopeless.
[He trudges over to Fujiko]
Arsène Lupin III : Fujiko...
[He kneels down on the ground and cries into her. The church bell rings. Lupin hears it and gets an idea]
Arsène Lupin III : Fujiko... marry me!
Fujiko Mine : What?
Arsène Lupin III : [desperately] I only have three more days. This is my last wish.
[Fujiko blinks, confused]
Arsène Lupin III : Please. We'll just do the ceremony. Please, Fujiko.
[He beseechingly puts his hands together]
Arsène Lupin III : Please.
Fujiko Mine : You really love me that much?
Arsène Lupin III : Yes!
Fujiko Mine : Then... okay.
Arsène Lupin III : [spirits lifted] Really? Alright!

Daisuke Jigen : [to Fujiko] Lupin's in a bit of a serious mood right now. He's up against a man who travels the fourth dimension, one Kyousuke Mamo. We're afraid of him, too.
[Lupin flies into a rage and hurls a machete past them]
Arsène Lupin III : BULLCRAP! Did I ever say I was afraid? Hell no! You think I'd take that lunatic's threat seriously?
[He grabs Fujiko]
Arsène Lupin III : Come with me, Fujiko dear.
[He races off down the road with her in his Mercedes to take her on a date]

Fukuroko : Well, Inspector, would it make you happy if I were Lupin?
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Huh?
[He bursts into derisive laughter]
Fukuroko : What if I'd switched places with the real Fukuroko when you left the room earlier?
[Zenigata stops laughing]
Fukuroko : And what if all the cops here...
[He reveals his own voice]
Arsène Lupin III : ...Happened to be my men?
[Zenigata sees the cops dropping their masks and grinning. He charges forward]
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Lupin!
[Lupin blows thick smoke from the cigar]
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Damn it, Lupin!

[Fujiko drags Lupin to the church to marry him]
Arsène Lupin III : Hey, give me a break. I was just kidding!
Fujiko Mine : You said you love me!
Arsène Lupin III : Jigen, Goemon, help me!
Daisuke Jigen : Give it up, Lupin! This is gonna be way more difficult than Kyousuke Mamoh!
[Fujiko pulls Lupin through the doorway]
Arsène Lupin III : Don't be so cold!
[He runs out the doorway]
Arsène Lupin III : Help! I wanna stay single!
Fujiko Mine : Lupin!
Arsène Lupin III : Kyouske Mamoh, make me disappear! Make me disappear!

[Lupin finds Jigen sitting in the middle of a room cluttered with books, perusing obsessively]
Arsène Lupin III : Hey, Jigen, will you quit this already? Forget about that loon.
[Jigen walks off to the side]
Arsène Lupin III : Hmph. Fine. I'll just take Goemon with me for this next job. Hey, Goemon! Goemon!
[Goemon appears from the pile of books, likewise perusing the volumes]
Ishikawa Goemon XIII : What?
Arsène Lupin III : Good grief, Goemon.
Ishikawa Goemon XIII : I'm certain I've heard of Kyousuke Mamoh as well.
[Lupin goes to the front room, sits down in an armchair and puts his feet on the table]
Arsène Lupin III : You gotta be kidding me. Mamoh, Mamoh, Lupin the 13th, the year two-thousand something... This ain't a sci-fi manga.
[Some time passes. Lupin is now asleep in the armchair. As though in a dream, he hears Mamoh's voice speaking to him]
Mamou Kyosuke the Mad Time Traveller : Allow me to explain, Lupin. I have conquered the fourth dimension. Behold. With this time machine, I can traverse the temporal plane, past or future. And I saw it.
[Lupin frowns]
Mamou Kyosuke the Mad Time Traveller : I saw my descendants kill your descendants. It all occurs about nine hundred years from now.
[Lupin moans softly]
Mamou Kyosuke the Mad Time Traveller : Still don't believe me? Then I'll tell you my date of birth. It's November 18th, 1932.
[Lupin wakes up, and sits up in confusion]
Arsène Lupin III : November 18th, 1932... Yeesh! What a lousy dream.
[He goes to the window and stares contemplatively out of it. Jigen and Goemon enter the room]
Daisuke Jigen : Hey, Lupin, we found it. Listen up. Kyousuke Mamoh, a scientist. Sci-fi author and recipient of the Hugo award. His passion lies in the fourth dimension, especially the study of time and space, but he went mad in 1966.
Ishikawa Goemon XIII : While institutionalised in the city's psychiatric hospital, he declared the world was in crisis, and built a time machine, his version of Noah's Ark. He is currently traveling in time.
Arsène Lupin III : What's his date of birth?
Ishikawa Goemon XIII : Date of birth? Yes, it's here. November 18th, 1932.
Arsène Lupin III : [smirking] Quite interesting, Mr. Kyousuke Mamoh.
