Dan Dunn:
So, this is the genuine American navy?

Samurai:
It's stupid. This is too unrealistic.

Dan Dunn:
You and me are the things that are unrealistic.

Gordon:
Stand up! Special Presidential Aide, Mr. Gissinger! [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds]

Samurai:
What did he say?

Dan Dunn:
He said… this guy's the mastermind for the biggest man in the world! [Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between US President Jimmy Carter and the Secretary General]

Secretary General:
Mr. President. Do you really have good control of your government? Do you realize I'm being blackmailed?

US President:
Blackmailed?

Secretary General:
I am to supply all secret technical data on biochemistry, sitology, gene technology… and if I refuse, they'll attack with an atomic missile.

US President:
I've been threatened the same way. And to prove that they really mean it, they've already destroyed several of our communication satellites!

Secretary General:
I must remind you that it has nothing to do with us.

US President:
I do realize it.

Secretary General:
Then, do you think that man is…?

Mamaux:
That's right. It is I, Mamaux! [Gissinger stops the tape]

Gissinger:
It is not necessary to explain to you who these people are. We are interested only in the blackmailer who broke in on the hotline… When they were having a secret conversation. [he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]

Mamaux:
That's right. It is I, Mamaux! The greatest brain in the world. A prophet… or you may call me God!

US President:
God?! You must be insane!

Secretary General:
For one who calls himself God, your requests are pretty weird…

Mamaux:
Requests? This is an order. If you really know what is going on in the world right now, you should know better than this. [Gordon stops the tape]

Jigen:
All this just about the two of us. Boy, with the Cold War over, things must be pretty slow.

Goemon:
We can thank Lupin for getting us into this.

Jigen:
Life'd sure be dull without him, wouldn't it?

Gordon:
Stand up! You're in the presence of a very important government official! [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds]

Goemon:
I stand for no one.

Jigen:
Me neither, not even for Heinrich Gissinger, Special Adviser to, and the brains behind the President of the United States. [Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between the US President and the Secretary General]

Secretary General:
Mr. President, my country's being blackmailed. I hope your government is not at fault.

US President:
Now calm down, Boris. That's ridiculous.

Secretary General:
Whoever it is demands that we hand over all of our secret scientific data on cryogenics and gene splicing. If we do not, he threatens to attack us with nuclear warheads!

US President:
Well, he's not one of ours. We've been threatened the same way. In fact, he's already knocked out two of our communication satellites!

Secretary General:
You do not think that we…

US President:
No, no. The Cold War's over, after all… isn't it, Boris?

Secretary General:
Oh… why, yes it is. Of course! But who is this madman?

Mamo:
If I may, gentlemen… I am Mamo. [Gissinger stops the tape]

Gissinger:
The first two voices will remain unidentified. They are of no concern. What we want is the identity of the man who broke in on their top-secret conversation… this blackmailer who calls himself "Mamo". [he fast-forwards part of the tape, and continues playing]

Mamo:
That's right - Mamo. Some have called me a prophet; others, a God.

Secretary General:
That is lunacy!

US President:
That's an understatement. You can't believe that we'll go along with this.

Mamo:
You have no choice! I know every more you make before you know it yourselves. Why, I even know about that little floozy you keep in the steno pool, Mr. President. How would you like the world to find out about her?

US President:
Oh… how dare you!

Secretary General:
Floozy? What is this floozy? [Gordon stops the tape]

Jigen:
So, this is how Uncle Sam keeps the world safe for democracy.

Goemon:
All military might is an illusion.

Jigen:
Well, those planes look pretty real to me.

Gordon:
Tenshun! This is Special Presidential Adviser, Mr. Gissinger. [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds]

Goemon:
What's special about him?

Jigen:
Have you heard his accent? Apart from that, he masterminds the world's number-one big bang show. [Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between the US President and the Secretary General]

Secretary General:
Mr. President. I want your assurance that the CIA is not responsible - I am being blackmailed.

US President:
Eh, how's that, Mr. Secretary?

Secretary General:
I am to hand over all secret technical data on biochemistry, sitology and gene technology. If I refuse, my country will suffer a nuclear attack!

US President:
Hey, I've been threatened the same way. And to prove they're serious, they've already destroyed several of our communication satellites.

Secretary General:
Well, it was not us, Mr. President.

US President:
I know that, Mr. Secretary. You couldn't hit one of our satellites if you tried.

Secretary General:
Now, wait! Only…

US President:
Joke's on you, Boris. The important thing is - to find out who's behind this.

Mamo:
I shall tell you. It is I, Mamo. [Gissinger stops the tape]

Gissinger:
I cannot reveal who the first voices we heard belong to, but it's the third voice, which is obviously the blackmailer's, that I am interested in. Who broke in on this secure hotline conversation? [he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]

Mamo:
I shall tell you. It is I, Mamo. The greatest intellect in the history of the world. Some call me a prophet; you may address me as God.

Secretary General:
God?! You must be insane!

US President:
Eh… if you're God, I gotta tell you, your requests are pretty unoriginal, not to say, venial.

Mamo:
Request? I'm giving you and order! And if you care about Main Street, cherry pie and dynasties as you always say, you'll jump to it! [Gordon stops the tape]

Jigen:
US Navy. They weren't kiddin'.

Goemon:
Outrageous. They cannot do this to us.

Jigen:
You don't read the newspapers very much, do ya?

Gordon:
Stand up… now! This man is the Special Assistant to the President! [he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds] I said, stand!

Goemon:
Yes, we heard you.

Jigen:
Look. You guys went to a lot of trouble to get us here. Now why don't we just cut the crap, and get to the point. [Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between US President George W. Bush and the Soviet Premier]

Gordon:
[clears his throat] Yes, well…

Soviet Premier:
Mr. President, I must protest, in the strongest possible terms, the blackmailing of my administration by yours.

US President:
Mr. Premier, I'm afraid I don't…

Soviet Premier:
Please, don't insult us further. We've been threatened with nuclear attack if we don't hand over all classified research in biochemistry, sitology and biogenetics.

US President:
Mr. Premier, we just lost two communications satellites after receiving similar demands, and frankly, the capability for such strap…

Soviet Premier:
Mr. President, surely you're not accusing us.

US President:
Mr. Premier, I don't know what to think.

Soviet Premier:
What has your intelligence turned out?

Mamo:
Gentlemen, if I may interrupt…

US President:
Who's that?!

Mamo:
My name is Mamo. [Stuckey stops the tape]

Stuckey:
Now…

Jigen:
Yeah?

Stuckey:
The identification of that third voice is a matter of the utmost importance. Not only to this administration, but to the entire world. Please, listen carefully now. [he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]

Mamo:
My name is Mamo. I am the living embodiment of intelligence. A prophet… a God to you.

Soviet Premier:
You're a madman!

US President:
He's a terrorist! Whoever he is, what kind of a God threatens humanity with universal apocalypse if he doesn't get his way?!

Mamo:
I heard you weren't much of a student in your school days, Mr. President… but apparently, even the Bible you thump so shamelessly is the reader's digest edition. [Gordon stops the tape]
