Leave this to me. You go get the girl.

[Jigen pistol-whips the officers holding Lupin]
Leave this to me. You go get the girl.
[Lupin runs off down the street after the girl, and Zenigata runs after him]
ALIIICE!
LUPIIIN!
[Zenigata sees Lupin and Jigen floating in mid air]
GOOD GRAVY!
Let me see!
[He looks through the telescope]
Ah, you see? Just as I told you. Hmm...
It's the damnedest damn thing I ever saw in my damn life!
[tossing the bubble maker up and down in her hand] So tell me, did you invent this, or did you steal it?
Well, I guess that depends on which one would really impress you.
I guess... I'd have to say if you invented it.
[leaning in for a kiss] Okay, then let's just say that I invented it, shall we?
[holding up the pin-like tracking device Lupin planted in her hair] Okay.
[She pops the bubble she and Lupin are in. Lupin begins to plummet towards the ocean and frantically claws at the air. Fujiko grows a new bubble for herself]
Then you can just make yourself a new one.
But, Fujiko...!
[mockingly] What? You didn't lie, did you?
Of course I diiiid!
[Zenigata waits beneath Lupin as he plunges in his direction]
Don't worry, Lupin! I'll catch you!
[He grins eagerly]
MOMMYYYYY!
[As Lupin nears the ocean's surface, Zenigata leaps out of the ocean at him]
Damn. I haven't felt so trapped and helpless since the last time I went to Disneyland. But at least when I was at Disneyland, nobody ever forced me to share a teacup with Goofy.
You'll be sharing a cell with rats when I get you back to Japan!
Yeah, well, be that as it may... It'll be the land of the setting sun for you if you stick around here and end up in the middle of some revolutionary uprising.
[He imagines himself and Zenigata clinging to each other in the middle of a battlefield, then imagines himself crying over Zenigata's grave as the Inspector floats away as an angel]
But... What about my poor mother?!
[holding Lupin lightly by the back of his jacket] I got you right in the palm of my hand. And I'm not lettin' ya...
[pulling himself free] No wonder you never caught me.
[An exhausted Zenigata knocks on the door of a Swedish police car]
Zenigata, with Interpol. Would you give me a lift?
Ja, sure.
I'm beat. [He gets in] It's ten o'clock. Why is it still light out?
We have a thing here called the midnight sun, and it...
THAT WAS RHETORICAL! THE POINT IS, I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN A WEEK!
Ah, well. Here, try this eye mask.
Oh, yeah? Huh. [He ties it around his face, then yawns]
[not realizing Zenigata is already asleep] I'm guessing you got some tip about Mr. Lupin.
[startled] ARGH! WHERE? DAMN! LUPIN! [He holds up his hands] Whoa! I can't see! What's goin' on?! Hey! Is it... the apocalypse?
It's just the eye mask. You're fine.
[Zenigata pulls up the eye mask]
[sheepishly] Uh... I knew that. [He looks out the back window] Damn midnight sun's a menace!
[He clears his throat and pulls the eye mask back down]
So, what's Lupin doing here?
Well, it isn't really that clear yet. Could be, he's trying to make his way to the North Pole. Yep, it's the closest place to the old midnight sun this time of the year. He'll blast off in a rocket ship and steal it, I tell ya. I just figured it out. He's gonna steal the sun, mama, so he can get away with everything. [The officers exchange confused glances] But I'm not gonna care at all, 'cause it's gonna be... so dark.
[He yawns loudly. The officers shrug. Lupin and Jigen approach the car]
Is that Pops in the back seat, blindfolded?
Sure looks like it. Poor guy just can't seem to catch a break.
[He gets out a cigarette and goes up to the officers]
Hi. How's it going, guys? Mind if I borrow your lighter for a second?
There's no smoking in our town.
[reaching in through the back window] Ah. It slipped my mind.
[He and Jigen walk away laughing. Zenigata wakes up suddenly]
Hey! Wait a minute! Lupin did it! Seen that everything's all dark!
Inspector, take off your mask.
[Zenigata does so]
I didn't... talk in my sleep or anything, did I?
[as Zenigata rubs his eyes] Not a word.
Come on, Lupin, please just let him catch you this one time.
So, I guess this means we're going to be giving up together.
It does?
Sure! That's the power of love.
I, love you?
You see?
I'm not fooling around.
'Cause this is all you need.
You're gonna need a doctor.
[feeling like he's having to come between a pair of squabbling children] Just shut up, you two! Both of ya!
[Zenigata and Fujiko rush to the morgue]
Chief! Fill me in! What have you got here?
Well, sir, we got a DOA [meaning "Dead on arrival"]. And we got his partners here waiting to be interrogated.
Hold on! Are you saying Lupin's deceased?! Do you think I was born yesterday or something?! Huh?! THE ONLY DUMMMY AROUND HERE IS THE DOA!
[Zenigata, Fujiko and the chief enter the morgue]
[scoffing] The old coffin gambit, Lupin? Come on, you big con artist. [He waves his handcuffs] Alright, open 'er up.
[The mortician opens the coffin. Lupin lies inside, motionless and pale]
That's our guy!
No!
Hey, Lupin! Get up! Come on! Hey, Lupin! Cut it out, willya? Come on! [He shakes the thief's head] I'm not kiddin', Lupin! This isn't funny! [He starts crying] Damn it, Lupin! It can't be true!
Inspector, please, maybe you should control yourself.
[sobbing] You can't really be dead! I never told you this before, but I love you! What am I gonna do without you? You're my whole reason to live! How could you do this to me? I hate you! No, I don't! I don't! I'm sorry! [He rubs his tear-streaked face against Lupin's] Please don't leave me, Lupin!
[placing a comforting hand on Zenigata's shoulder] It's alright, Inspector.
[Zenigata furiously handcuffs the officer, then, sobbing hysterically, tears out of the building, firing his pistol into the air]
Puma! I'll get you, you son of a bitch!
[Zenigata is arrested]
Hey! Wait, I ... [The officers throw him into cell with Jigen and Goemon] Ow.
Yo, Pops!
Yo yourself, you damn bastard! I oughta...
[He tackles Jigen]
What the... hey!
What the hell kind of a partner are you anyway? How could you just let him go and die like that?!
[as a storm rages on mount Onihime] No way to get up that mountain tonight. Only an idiot would dare to attempt it.
[Cut to Zenigata clutching onto a steep mountainside in the pouring rain]
What the hell am I doing up here?! I'M SCARED OF THUNDER! I'M SCARED OF HEIGHTS!
Who the hell's the new woman in your gang?! I thought you only had eyes for Fujiko!
I swear, I don't know what you mean!
You can't fool me, Lupin! I just saw Fujiko in Tokyo, vamping some rich stud.
What? What? But, but, uh...!
Hey, don't blow a gasket there, Pops!
I'll blow whatever the hell I want to! [He gets hit in the head by a falling gold coin. He catches it in his hands as he lies on the ground] Hey, wow!
[More gold coins fall on top of him]
[pouting] Aww... it's just not fair.
Priest': Hey! Get off my bike!
Shut up!
Don't tell me to shut up!
I'll tell you whatever I want to!
Oh, yeah?!
Yeah!
You shut up!
Shut up!
You shut up!
You...!
Now, for the last time, do you want to know where Lupin is or not?
Of course. I flew all the way over here, didn't I? Start talking.
The Himalayas.
... The what?
[Out in the Himalayas, Lupin walks up the mountain with his guide, merrily singing]
Edelweiss, edelweiss, you look happy to greet me. Edel- uh, uh... [He sneezes]
Alright, I warned you, Mr. Zenigata. Now I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist that you leave the ship.
[as he is dragged away by security] No! Mr. Onabes! Please! Hey! I can explain! This is all her fault! I mean, his fault! You see, she's...
