Tony Oliver: Arsène Lupin III

Quotes 

• Arsène Lupin III : Help! I'm being eaten by a quaint folk legend!

• [Lupin gives a lovesickness-induced groan] 

  Daisuke Jigen : Lupin, I'm trying to read here.

  Arsène Lupin III : You don't care!

  Daisuke Jigen : Bingo.

  Arsène Lupin III : I'm a babe with no mama; I'm wastin' away!

  Daisuke Jigen : Yeah? So get yourself a wet nurse.

• [Dr. Oz's men make off with Fujiko] 

  Arsène Lupin III : Jigen! Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em!

  Daisuke Jigen : [aiming his pistol]  Hang on. I can't get a beat on 'em.

  Arsène Lupin III : Come on! They're getting away! Shoot 'em, willya?

  [He impatiently hits Jigen over the head with an oar] 

  Arsène Lupin III : Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!

  [He looks over at Jigen, who is lying, dazed, across the capsized boat] 

  Arsène Lupin III : Oops. Sorry, pal.

• Dr. Oz : [answering the walkie-talkie]  Yes, what do you want?

  Assassin : [over the walkie-talkie]  We've found them, Doctor.

  Dr. Oz : Ah, excellent.

  [a visual of the house where the gang is staying shows up on the surveillance footage. More surveillance footage shows up, of Lupin and Jigen sleeping peacefully] 

  Fujiko Mine : [overcome with fear]  Lupin!

  Dr. Oz : That's right, my dear. The men whose names you seem to known, but with whom you're somehow unacquainted. And if such is indeed the case, then their deaths should mean nothing to you, unless you're some kind of bleeding heart. It would be a mistake to take me lightly. At this point, there's little of which I'm not capable, and everything around Loch Ness is under my control. Absolutely everything, my dear.

  Fujiko Mine : Everything but Nessie.

  Dr. Oz : Don't needle me. That too will be mine soon enough. Last chance, my dear. Sing for me or else!

  Fujiko Mine : Go to hell!

  Dr. Oz : Very well, then. Say goodbye to your non-acquaintances.

  [He addresses the assassin over the walkie-talkie] 

  Dr. Oz : Take them out.

  Assassin : You got it.

  [the assassin aims at Lupin. Suddenly, then end of his rifle is sliced off. Lupin and Jigen wake up and sit up in bed. The assassin falls backwards off the roof. The thief and the gunman head to the window to inspect the commotion] 

  Daisuke Jigen : What the hell?

  [On the roof, Goemon puts his sword back in its sheath] 

  Goemon Ishikawa XIII : It's a good thing that one of us wasn't sleeping on the job.

  [Lupin, Jigen and Goemon go downstairs to inspect the damage] 

  Arsène Lupin III : Holy Humpty McDumpty!

• [Goemon pulls at a bear trap, which has its teeth firmly dug into Lupin's behind] 

  Arsène Lupin III : Ow! Easy, Goemon!

  Goemon Ishikawa XIII : Transcend it.

  Arsène Lupin III : "Transcend it", my ass!

  [Goemon pulls it off] 

  Goemon Ishikawa XIII : Ah, the old exploding-bear-trap-in-the-ass trick.

  [He throws it away. It lands behind Lupin and explodes] 

  Arsène Lupin III : WILL ANYBODY HERE NOT TRYING TO KILL ME?

  Goemon Ishikawa XIII : Sorry.

• Fujiko Mine : I happen to have a nice singing voice!

  Arsène Lupin III : It's just that it's not the first of your charms that comes to mind.

  Fujiko Mine : Oh God, you're hopeless.

  [She knees Lupin in the chin] 

• Daisuke Jigen : Uh, Lupin? I take it back. What I said about Nessie.

  Arsène Lupin III : You? Yeah. Gimme a break.

  Daisuke Jigen : No, really. I've been skeptical about the whole thing, but I'm starting to come around to your point of view.

  Arsène Lupin III : Oh, really? And what brought about this conversion?

  Daisuke Jigen : Oh, I don't know. Probably this fifty-foot sea serpent.

  Arsène Lupin III : Yeah, yeah. Very...

  [He turns around and finds that Jigen is absolutely correct]
