Scenes with Fujiko 76
I'd been meaning to ask you: How'd that flesh wound of yours heal up?
FFujiko
I'm as good as new.
Really? Ooh... [He takes a look between Fujiko's breasts] I'll just...
[Fujiko yelps and slaps Lupin.]
[The young man careens down the hill in his wheelchair]
Whoooooa! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, noooooooo!
[He passes Jigen and Goemon. Goemon rests by the trunk while Jigen is on one of the branches. Lupin continues screaming in the background]
Hey, we've done all we can for the guy.
He's on this own this time.
[Lupin bumps along the dirt path, yelping. Zenigata approaches in his path]
Whoa, what's that? [Lupin speeds uncontrollably in his direction] Hey, wait a minute!
[Zenigata runs towards Lupin]
It's Lupin! [He decides it's a good idea to run back in the other direction] Hey! Whoa!
Pops! Wait! Please help me!
Hey! Get away from me! [Zenigata runs down a hill shoulder with Lupin bouncing close behind] Get away from me! What are you doing? Let go of me!
[They crash into each other and fall over]
Call me superstitious, but next time you're thinking about that broad, don't actually say her name out loud, okay?
FFujiko
[from down below] Lupin!
FFujiko
Will everything be... Well, you know, intent?
DDoctor
Ah, yes, I assume you refer to his hoo-hah.
FFujiko
[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.
FFujiko
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?
FFujiko
[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]
FFujiko
Then you can just make yourself a new one.
FFujiko
[mockingly] What? You didn't lie, did you?
[Zenigata waits beneath Lupin as he plunges in his direction]
Don't worry, Lupin! I'll catch you!
[He grins eagerly]
[As Lupin nears the ocean's surface, Zenigata leaps out of the ocean at him]
FFujiko
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.
Sure! That's the power of love.
FFujiko
I'm not fooling around.
'Cause this is all you need.
FFujiko
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]
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!
[Lupin lies in his casket. Six feet above him, we hear the voices of the mortician and Fujiko]
MMortician
It should be wearing off by now.
FFujiko
And you're sure there's no chance he could have suffocated?
[Inside the casket, a light turns on. We hear Lupin's heartbeat steadily growing louder]
MMortician
A body in this kind of suspended animation requires very little oxygen.
[Lupin exhales, then opens his eyes]
FFujiko
You'd better be right about that.
[Lupin's casket is unearthed, just as the drugs he needed to fake his own death have worn off]
Mommy. [He yawns] What a nap.
[Fujiko lifts off his casket lid and greets him with a knowing smile]
FFujiko
Are you all right?
[sitting up with a rose in his hand and an amorous expression on his face] You tell me. [He leans in to kiss Fujiko, surreptitiously placing the flower into her shirt, and she slaps hm] Hey, what the hell kind of greeting is that? I mean, especially after that touching tribute that I gave you on my headstone.
FFujiko
[sarcastically] Yeah. Real romantic.
[Lupin takes a look at the headstone]
[forgetting part of his phone conversation with the mortician] Hey! That's just crass!
FFujiko
[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!
FFujiko
Hard at work, I see. So, how's it going?
Because you are not trying.
Hey, you're sitting there like a Buddha! I'm working my ass off!
FFujiko
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.
[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]
FFujiko
Lupin, I can't share it with you! I don't know if there's enough for two!
I don't want any! Do you know what it is?! Do you?!?
FFujiko
Yeah, an eternal youth potion of some kind. Why else would she want it?
You idiot! Kaguya had that created for her very sick husband! He's in a coma!
[Fujiko gasps, horrified, at the terrible thing she's done]
Yeah, it sucks being deceived like that, but at least it was all for a good cause.
Yes, well, perhaps that is true, but still, the act of betrayal by Fujiko was unforgivable and merits the very harshest punishment.
FFujiko
Lupin, I think he really means it!
She's sorry! Really! She's learned her lesson this time, haven't you, Fujicakes?
[Fujiko starts hiccuping, then flaps her arms uncontrollably. The potion has given her an unbelievably high amount of energy, like a caffeine buzz]
It's not real harsh, maybe, but it sure as hell's funny.
[Lupin is in his hotel room, sleeping peacefully. Fujiko pounds on his door]
FFujiko
[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]
Aw man, when the hell's this potion ever gonna wear off?
FFujiko
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.
[tipsy on bourbon] Come on, you knew we were drunks when you married us!
[also happily wasted on the bourbon] You know the truly great part? I don't care if I ever get better!
FFujiko
[smiling craftily] Don't you tempt fate. It can be cruel.
