Robert E. O. SpeedwagonIf you're lookin' to lose body parts, do stick around! Observe! (Reveals the blades on his bowler hat) I'll mince ya right finely, with a tip of the hat. And now we dance!
Robert E. O. SpeedwagonI took the lad for an easy mark. Guess I've been right disabused of that notion!
Speedwagon (to Dio): Right about now, you're probably wondering who I am. Allow me to elucidate ya! The name is Robert E. O. Speedwagon! I had a hunch Jonathan's run of trouble might not be done, so I followed him back home. I like you, Jonathan, so I'm gonna offer up this little tidbit pro bono: living in the gutter, you learn to spot lowlifes pretty quick if you want to see tomorrow. I've trained my nose to sort out the bad ones from the good just from a sniff. This fellow reeks of brimstone and blood worse than anyone I've ever laid eyes on!
[Speedwagon kicks a candle which Dio instinctively dodges]
SpeedwagonHe is PURE EVIL, right down to his very bones! Is he a victim of circumstance, you're wondering? Not on your life! He's been evil since he drew his first breath!
SpeedwagonJonathan won his fight against that fiend...But he lost a lot. Poor sod. He's been in hospital for three days now... Losing his father and home, he's completely alone in the world now! I want to give him a reason to live! Don't give up on the world, JoJo!...
SpeedwagonSpirit! That's what he needs, and I am to give it to him!
SpeedwagonI’ve been trying to steel my spine leading up to this little tete-a-tete, but it’s like the Grim Reaper’s breathing down me neck! I’m all a-sweat! How am I supposed to find my courage when my monster’s staring right at us, huh?! Sir Joestar loved him, and all he got for his troubles was death! Listen, you! You are gonna pay for it!
Zeppeli So this is Dio Brando. He and the zombies can't attack us while we stand in the sunlight...But in a field of darkness and carrion, he sees us as easy pickings. A man of such guile cannot have the stone mask! He must be perished from the world at all costs!
SpeedwagonI can read people like a book, and these two are full of stories Speedwagon don't wanna hear, thank you kindly!
Robert E. O. SpeedwagonYou do the honors, Tattoo.
Right!
Robert E. O. SpeedwagonUse that shiv of yours to slice him open! I want his guts for garters!
Ogre Street is aptly named.
Robert E. O. SpeedwagonI wanna know the name of him who spared me.
Jonathan Joestar.
Dioː JoJo, it was hubris that led me to this ignominious end. This fall from grace has taught me a valuable lesson. However one may scheme or assemble, my downfall this night is part of the human condition... A condition that I now forsake.
Wait, forsake? What do you mean?
You see, I am about to become so much more! [Brandishes the Stone Mask] Help me shed this mortal skin!
Mother's mask!
JoJo! Your blood is the key!
[George intercepts the stab wound.]
SpeedwagonOh my god!
FATHER!
[Dio laughs as he puts on the mask while activating it with George's blood while being gunned down by the constables.]
Father, hang on. The Doctor's on his way.
JoJo...don't hate Dio for what he's done. I am to blame for this. I was hard on you because you're a Joestar. I went too easy on Dio and he might have felt I didn't care. Perhaps he did this for want of a father's love. Please... See that he's buried...next to Dario...
Father...
Don't look so sad, JoJo... Where better to die...than in the arms...of my...son...?
Sir Joestar!
We lost much this night. A noble man's soul...has been taken from the world.
SpeedwagonYou're wrong! All that was good in that man, he passed it along to Jonathan, every bit of it! You can be sure JoJo's gonna live an upright life, using what his father gave him. Rich folks are rubbish. Watching 'em flounce around, I wanna throw the whole lot of them into the Thames! But not the Joestars. They're heroic and merciful and, just...the whole damn lot of them are giants among men!
Dio (After getting shot in the head by Speedwagon): JoJo, I should thank you for the source of my newfound power! Your father's blood...and the ancient stone mask! WRRRYY...
Jonathan (watching Dio kill a constable): He takes his very life, but how is that possible! Dio, you villain, what sort of monster have you become?ǃ
[Dio tosses the constable at the others, killing them instantly while knocking Speedwagon down]
SpeedwagonUWHOOAH?ǃ
Even Speedwagon is afraid!
Know this, it ends here! You will not leave this place alive!
SpeedwagonNo! That's lunacy- (Gets backed out of the manor by a backdraft.)
Dio Brando (walking up the wall after Jonathan): Luring me away from the gutter rat? How very noble of you. No matter. I'll drain you dry, and your blood will help me amend from this little adventure. You climb the wall in vain, JoJo. In your haste to flee from me, all you had done is guarantee your doom. You will be consumed tonight, by the inferno below or by me.
Jonathan (thought): Father...Rest in peace. Let the smoke guide your soul to heaven. But first, please lend me your strength one final time. Let the fire burn around you.
SpeedwagonIt's late at night, but there's a lamp coming from his room. (Looks inside) This is- That woman... I'm surprised a nurse would stay with him so late! Her hands are bruised! She's soothed his burns with ice water hundreds, no, thousands of times!
(Jonathan wakes up.)
Thank goodness...
SpeedwagonHe's conscious!
The worst is over. You'll be okay now.
Have you... Been taking care of me this whole time? You... I can't believe you're here! I remember... No, you can't be... That's impossible... You look like a girl I used to know...
Nurse: Her name wouldn't be by chance Erina Pendleton, would it? It has been a long time, Jonathan Joestar.... JoJo.
Erina! You've grown!
Me? Not as much as you. But... (gets teary) It really has been so long...
[Speedwagon takes his leave]
SpeedwagonShe makes a better Florence Nightingale than I do, anyhow. You rest up, JoJo. Speedwagon withdraws coolly.
Why did we stop?
SpeedwagonOi, mate! Hurry it up!
Keep an eye out! Sunlight can't protect us in here!
SpeedwagonWell? What's wrong?
[Speedwagon screams seeing the cabman dead with a severed horse head on his shoulders.]
Is it Dio? It has to be him.
Listen, both of you. Step away from the horses.
[Jack emerges from the body of one of the headless horses]
SpeedwagonWhat in the blue hell?! That crazy blighter's inside a horse! Good God! This one's mad as a hatter! Dio's evil, yeah, but I ain't seen him jump out of any animal so far!
He must be gathering minions, and who knows how many he might have!
Stand aside, my young friends. I'll do the fighting. He is a zombie. They must feed on living flesh to survive. However, they are in constant thrall to their master, not unlike marionettes.
Oh, you lads is both as white as a sheet. All the blood is drained from your faces. Maybe I should cut off those useless heads of yours, and watch it spray out of you necks? (stabs a knife into his face) Now, you milted corpses-to-be, prepare for the carnage!
Tell me, what's his next move? You must think as he does. JoJo, this strategy will serve you in good stead. Ask yourself, what would be the most advantageous thing for my foe to do next? Him, for example. If he blocks off the tunnel's entrance, we can't retreat into the sunlight!
(Jack grabs the carriage)
Just as I predicted, he's blocked our retreat!
Speedwagon, jump!
[Jack forces knives out from his body.]
Knives are coming out of him!
SpeedwagonBaron Zeppeli, you didn't say nothin' about fighting a pincushion!
Hamon Cutter! I'm afraid your blades are rather dull compared by Hamon Cutter.
