Scenes with Lupin 239
[Lupin is in his hotel room, sleeping peacefully. Fujiko pounds on his door]
[from outside] Lupin! Come on! I still can't sleep! Hey, come on! Wake up! Hey, Lupin! I'm bored!
[Lupin sits up in bed]
LLupin
Aw man, when the hell's this potion ever gonna wear off?
I know you're in there! Let me in! Let's go dancing!
Lupin [burying his head back under the covers] I'm too tired to appreciate the irony.
LLupin
What does that mean?
It means: "I want you, I must have you! Let me take you and start a family!"
[He tackles the flabbergasted Lupin]
I absolutely refuse to let you up, Miss Mary, unless you promise to marry me!
LLupin
WHAT? That's impossible!
[Onabes forcefully kisses Lupin]
[He slaps Onabes, then flips him over in a judo grip]
LLupin
Just snap out of it!
Oh yes, flip me like a hamburger, baby!
[Lupin covers his mouth and flees]
LLupin
I'm not even a friggin' woman!
Oh well, nobody's perfect.
[Realizing he can't win, Lupin jumps down from the mast and lands on the deck. His makeup is now a mess]
LLupin
[frazzled] All right! You win! I give up! But premarital sex is out of the question!
LLupin
[as Zenigata] I do admit to sort of a perverse admiration.
Admiration, my ass! Why don't you just admit it?! You ARE in love with the guy! And you always have been, haven't you? You big egomaniac!
Friggin' birds can't get close to that thing, and I don't think I can pull off the backless look, either. I mean, not that it doesn't look absolutely stunning on you or anything, but it does take a certain androgynous quality, you know?
LLupin
I swear, I'll beat you with your own hat. [Jigen laughs]
LLupin
Man, sure could have used Goemon's Zantetsu sword this time, huh?
[Jigen sees a figure sitting on a crate]
LLupin
I said, Goemon's sword would have come in handy!
[Jigen recognizes the figure as Zenigata]
LLupin
I know, it's a bummer, but it's no use crying over spilled milk. We just gotta...
Lupin! You'd better get up here!
LLupin
Yeah, that man's the last of a dying breed, Jigen.
LLupin
Kind of like u... ah... ah, ah, ah... [He sneezes]
Serves you right. I mean, uh, didn't your mama ever tell you not to go out without your pants on?
[Lupin sees he's only wearing his boxers]
[They laugh]
[Zenigata is woken by the telephone and answers it]
LLupin
Hey, man. How's it hanging?
LLupin
I refer to that big wad of drool hanging from your chin, you slacker. Then again, in your dreams is the only place you'll ever catch me.
LLupin
[sneezing] You know, I think the whole thing went pretty well.
[sneezing] And that was really the best plan you could think of?
LLupin
Gotta keep your eye on the prize. After all, the whole idea was to divert his attention. Remember that. And that's what counts.
Because now, Zenigata's gonna be practically living on that boat until they recover our bodies.
LLupin
Exactly. [He sneezes again]
[One of the money bags gets stuck in a pulley]
Son of a bitch. Wouldn't you know it? Last one?
LLupin
Stay cool, man. We'll get it. Easy does it now.
[As they try to get the back through, one of the suction cups on the ceiling comes loose]
[The suction cup unsticks, but Lupin and Jigen pull on the rope before the bag hits the floor. They sigh with relief]
CCornelia
The constellations of the winter sky are dominated by the brilliant and dynamic figure of Orion. Legend has it, he was a powerfully built young huntsman of exceptional skill, whose love for the daughter of the treacherous king nearly spelled his doom.
[As the audience the planetarium in rapt attention, Lupin sits in his seat, bored out of his mind and nearly falling asleep. He yawns]
LLupin
If only Fujiko were here. This would be a very romantic date, but... Oh, well. It oughta begin in a minute.
LLupin
Our hearts were beating like crazy.
This before or after you left the cell?
LLupin
Just let me finish, willya?
[Lupin and Jigen stand face to face in their living rooms, hands at the ready]
LLupin
So, this is it, huh? It's come to this.
LLupin
Think you can take me on?
You said it yourself a million times, Lupin. I'm the quickest draw on the planet.
LLupin
Next to me, that is.
Oh, man, this will be sweet.
[Goemon gives the signal, and the two draw their remote controls. The TV switches back and forth between footage of a soap opera and what looks like Django]
I think we really need to get a second TV.
LLupin
Hey, I've never missed a single episode of Housewives Theater in fifteen years and I'm not starting now.
That's too damn bad, pal. There's a first time for everything. Anyway, it's Spaghetti Western Sunday on Channel 5.
[Lupin and Jigen continue switching between channels]
LLupin
No, no, there it is!
[The TV goes to static]
What the...? Oh, that's just great.
LLupin
Stop it! Wonderful. Now look what you've done.
LLupin
That crazy lady's gonna turn us all into wax figures. Even Fujiko. They got her upstairs, locked up.
[His eyes fill with tears]
Hey, don't! Come on! Get a hold of yourself.
Bet you haven't even tried the most obvious thing.
[He reaches for the doorknob]
LLupin
No! Hold it, Pops! Wait!
[Zenigata turns the doorknob and starts to sink into the floor]
What the hell's going on here, Lupin?
LLupin
Unfortunately, this kind of thing happens all the time around here. She's like some kind of evil witch.
[lifting Zenigata out] That's just great. Either of you guys wanna lend a hand?
