lupin the 3rd: legend of gold babylon

What the hell's this... ?

What the... ! Ouch!

Wow, everyone's so good looking! Wonderful!

C...Cut it out!

Knock it off!

C...Calm down, Ching.

O...OK, Willy, I know.

Gentlemen, what are your favorite monsters?

I hate monsters...

But it's customary to wear monster masks at this club.

How about these? I think they'd suit you, myself.

What the hell are you talking about, you moron?

We're already wearing masks!

Oh really? What are those monsters called?

Jigen and Goemon... a monster with a 0.3 second fast-draw.

Where's Lupin? Tell us!

Gee, I dunno.

Don't blow it, you hear me?

I'll kill Lupin.

Oh, if it isn't the boss!

Do you remember me?

Hey, if it ain't Old Lady Rosetta! I remember you, I really do!

Still clinging to life, I see.

I'll worry about your funeral arrangements, so drink up!

Oh, I'm so happy! Thank you, boss.

This is great!

Well, this Interpol bastard, Zenigata chases me all over the place...

But you see, he's a bumbling, blockheaded nincompoop...

...and such a big bungler that even his intestinal bacteria are twisted!

Excuse us! Mr. Lupin, we've a special delivery from Tokyo!

Ah! Over here, over here!

I...It's Lupin!

Maybe it's a love present from Fujiko...

Hehe! So sorry, Lupin!

It is unexpectedly, Zenigata, the man of the twisted intestinal bacteria!

Bungling, blockheaded nincompoop Zenigata!

Well? Aren't you impressed?

Oh, did you hear that? Sorry!

Yeah, hate to break it to you, but I just had my ears cleaned...

...at the barbershop yesterday, you see.

...at the barbershop yesterday, you see. I didn't know! I didn't know!

Please! Please!

More! More! More!

Dammit!

Hey, what're you doing? Knock it off!

Knock it off, or you're under arrest!

Old Man, those cymbals really suit you.

Enough to make me want to give you a kiss.

Oh! Then why don't you kiss me?

I swear, I just can't keep going with you. Well, bye-bye!

Hold it! Running away is for cowards!

Huh?!

Wait, Lupin!

Damn!

We're doomed! Run! Run!

Hmm? Once again, you've cut worthless things...

Peek-a-boo!

Now, on whom'll the Goddess of Victory smile?

The master thief Lupin, or Inspector Zenigata of Interpol?

It's the start of the Broadway Grand Prix race!

Betting odds are 100:1. Make that 1000:1!

You bastard!

Pardon me!

Thank you. Thank you, oh, thank you!

Thank you. Thank you, oh, thank you!

Why is that long-armed ape still alive?

Shouldn't he be long dead by now, Kowalski?

There was probably a hitch. Don't worry, Junior.

I'll see to it that he's taken care of before tomorrow morning.

How?

Would you prefer that I float, or sink him in the Hudson River?

Float him... I think I'll drink a toast with my girlfriend,

as we look over the river.

Ok, I'll float him right at noon then.

" I BET ON LUPIN. IF HE LOSES WE'RE THROUGH! "

There's never been a longshot like this!

Naturally! Lupin's got it in the bag!

Nobody's gonna bet on Zenigata!

That's right!

Lupin, hang in there... please!

Yo, Fujiko! I'll be right there!

Oh, I know!

Stare...!

Hey! Lupin, wait up! Wait up!

Damn you, Lupin! I'll get you!

Next time we meet, next time for sure...!

Oh, it was nothing, it was nothing!

I hear you. Half of the take goes to Marciano, right?

Sam, let this thing handle the money-counting.

Wow! I got that much...

huh?!

"So, sora, sora, sora, a dance of bills...

"tra-la-la, tra-la-la, tra-la-la..."

Why you...!

You let him take it from you?!

You see this, Mike?

Eek!

This is no ordinary flyswatter. Listen up, Willy.

Uh, yes, sir!

This goes for any man who is a member of the New York mafia:

The first time he sees this, he'll turn bashful red...

...the second time he sees this, he'll turn terrified white...

...and the third time he sees this, he'll turn purple...

...and that'll be the end. It's that kind of punishment.

That's right, it's a flyswatter of death!

If you understand, then turn around!

OK! Close your eyes! Grit your teeth!

Why you... Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

Ro... Ro... Ro...!

Ro...Ro...Rosetta's... huh?!

IT...IT'S A GHOST!

No, my legs're right where they should be. Look. I can't be a ghost...

Huh?

I've been helping myself.

OK. Rosetta, you can have that Bourbon. Now beat it, beat it, beat it!

No can do.

I believe strongly in paying back today's debts today.

Huh? Hey, Old Lady, what're you thinking?

What do you think of my dance, Lupin?

I may not look like it, but long ago I danced all over the world!

That's enough! Stop it, Rosetta!

You've paid me back plenty.

What a barbarian you are.

It's not with my dancing that I thought to pay you back.

What?

Now, Lupin, take me!

You're so cute, Lupin!

Wh...Who asked you?!

I'll tell you something wonderful.

Th...Th...That's all right!

Once upon a time, in the fifth century B.C. ...

...Babylon, the capital of the up-to-then thriving Mesopotamian civilization...

...is said to have been destroyed by the advancing Great Army of Persia.

However,

it is also said that just before Babylon was destroyed...

...a God appeared,

gathered up all the gold in Babylon, and hid it away.

Oh? So? And?

The God called the treasure: "The Wealth of Babylon", and in this candelabra...

Huh? He's still there!

So you came around huh, you New York Mafia cockroaches!

- Rosetta! Put me down! Put me down! - No! No! No! No! No!

I'll do him, Chin.

No. I'll kill Lupin.

All right, move it, Old Lady!

Lupin, we'll die together!

No way! N...NO WAY!

Lead bullets don't get through to me.

I take gold balls... that is, golden bullets, or diamond bullets, though.

Now stick 'em up.

Finished?

No, not yet. Can't just let 'em go now can I? Right, Old Lady?

That Old Lady moves fast when she has to. OK, form a single line!

"Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!"

"Here we go! Here we go!"

"We cannot stand defeat!"

What the hell's that?

A souvenir left behind by Old Lady Rosetta.

Hm? This could be one hellacious item.

That old woman seems to know that I'm trying to get close to Marciano...

...and sniff out the secret of Babylon. Who the hell is she?

Hmmm...

An Occidental Beggar!

What're you painting, Marciano?

I was thinking of painting a long-armed ape, but I've gone to something else.

I'd an incredible dream last night, you see.

Oh, now it's a statue of a golden lion?

The other day it was a golden coffin, right?

You do a lot of dreaming, don't you.

But I wonder if the Wealth of Babylon is really there.

It is. Do you not believe what I say?

It's always just talk.

Sooner or later I'd like you to show me some action.

How's that for an engagement ring, Fujiko?

Don't misunderstand me, Marciano.

I thought I said I'd give you my love after you found the Gold of Babylon.

I'll find the Gold of Babylon any time now.

My organization is making an all-out search effort, after all.

I'm not just doing this on a whim.

It's an enterprise dating back to my father's time.

I'm tired of hearing that. I think I'll go back to Tokyo soon.

Fujiko...

Come on out. I'll show you some action.

OK. But hang on a sec.

Open Sesame.

My father gave control of this territory to Lucky Luciano...

...but not because he got fed up with family business.

It was because the search for the Gold of Babylon entrenched him.

It all started when clay tablets were found at a subway construction site...

...under Madison Square Garden.

What were clay tablets inscribed with Babylonian cuneiforms doing...

...buried deep underground in New York?

To this day, it remains an unsolvable mystery, but from that moment...

...my father completely washed his hands of the business of organized crime...

...and threw himself into excavating the ruins of Babylon.

Unfortunately, at exactly the same time...

...Hitler sent a large-scale archaeological investigation unit to Iraq.

Hitler was searching for the same thing as my father.

Gold! A golden object, said to have been created by order of...

...King Nebuchadnezzar, out of the gold gathered from all over Babylonia.
