Goemon quotes from Lupin III

I'm tired. Bye.

[disguised as a construction worker] At least we're lucky this isn't Japan. No one I know will see me like this.

He's late!

[sulking on a chair and frustratedly throwing darts at a heart-shaped target] Yeah. Late.

What could he be doing before a job?

Hung up on a woman, most likely.

If that's the case, what are you going to do?

I've had enough. We're through! [He throws a dart at the door just as it's being opened. Lupin catches the dart in his hand. Jigen brightens] You're late!

Where's Lupin?

[feigning apathy] Don't care. [The walkie talkie buzzes. Once again, Jigen's mood brightens] Oh, it's him.

Hey, Jigen, will you quit this already? Forget about that loon. [Jigen walks off to the side] Hmph. Fine. I'll just take Goemon with me for this next job. Hey, Goemon! Goemon! [To Lupin's chagrin, Goemon appears from the pile of books, likewise perusing the volumes]

What?

Well now, Goemon.

I'm certain I've heard of Kyousuke Mamou as well.

You gotta be kidding me. Mamou, Mamou, Lupin the 13th, the year two-thousand something... This ain't a sci-fi manga.

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. [A frown forms on the slumbering thief's face] I saw my descendants kill your descendants. It all occurs about nine hundred years from now. [Lupin moans softly] Still don't believe me? Then I'll tell you my date of birth. It's November 18th, 1932.

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]

Hey, Lupin, we found it. Listen up. Kyousuke Mamou, 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.

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.

What's his date of birth?

Date of birth? Yes, it's here. November 18th, 1932.

[smirking] Quite interesting, Mr. Kyousuke Mamou.

[shaking Goemon roughly] Hey, Goemon! Why the hell didn't you help him?

And what exactly did you do to help?

Lupin... Lupin...

Don't cry, Jigen. [Despite this, Jigen starts to cry anyway] I'll avenge him.

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.

[from behind the aquarium] Edo Period, huh? How insightful of you two. You've given me a great idea.

[eyes streaming with fresh tears] Lupin...

Well, you see, I was worried that people would miss me when I was gone, so I hid for a bit. [He chuckles]

[angry at Lupin for scaring him] Damn you, Lupin!

It's unbelievable. A billion dollars, it's all gone. Sunk in the ocean, for what? All for revenge. What a waste.

I just can't get over it. Old Pops, the constant pain in the rear, who hounded me across seven continents, is gone forever. It's really true what they say in the song, you don't know what you got until it's gone.

[crossing himself] Everybody's gotta go sometime. It's all just a long goodbye, Lupin.

Zenigata is now with his ancestors.

[choking up] Poor Pops.

Lupin, you weasel! We had a deal! Get your butt over here!

[relieved] Pops! Is that you? We thought you were dead! Oh, I could kiss you, ya big lug! Let's get out of here, guys! The chase is on again! Woo-hoo!

Wait, Lupin!

Ow! Easy, Goemon!

Transcend it.

"Transcend it", my ass!

Ah, the old exploding bear trap in the ass trick. [He throws away the bear trap and it explodes]

ANYBODY HERE NOT TRYING TO KILL ME?!

Sorry.

The sun sets, and the sun rises again.

The same sun the Pharaohs worshipped thousands of years ago.

Yes. You know our lives really are just the blink of an eye.

How's he doing down there, anyway?

Fujiko, is that the...?

I'm so ashamed of myself. I just hope it's not too late to return it. [Jigen and Goemon stare at her perspicaciously] He fell asleep in my arms, babbling and shivering. It was unbearable, seeing him like that, frail and frightened. He was clinging to me like a newborn baby.

Hey, Jigen, listen up. Remember that map?

M-hm. Yeah. What about it?

You must have left it at the hotel. Zenigata found it and he's on the train.

What? Really? Nah. That's impossible. I'd never make a rookie mistake like that.

There's a simple way to resolve this.

Yeah, sure, I got it right he- Where the hell is it? Aw, man.

Don't sweat it. Pops'll be looking for us, and luckily we're in disguise. I'm sure he's clueless about Martino.

So, the belt explodes if I do this?

Hey, hey! Not funny.

Goemon, are you in?

Hmm... Why not? I'll give it a try.

Are you saying you've never been before?

You guys are a couple of lightweights.

Come on, man, keep it down, willya?

Ah, geez...

You know, just for the record, I've never been hungover from drinking sake.

I can't believe we were beaten to the punch like that!

You really need to let that go, my friend.

Goemon's right, Lupin. You're really losing perspective here. I mean, we just scored the biggest, most beautiful diamond I've ever laid eyes on.

And will you love it as much when it retails for five bucks?

When a fever like that proves impervious to every stratagem of Western medicine, it's time for a little Jiryu-toh.

What the hell is Jiryu-toh?

It's a broth of pregnant earthworms.

Oh man, you gotta be kidding me.
