The Mystery of Mamo1978

[Mamo shows Wolf and Fujiko surveillance footage of Jigen and Goemon]

Mamo:
[chuckling] Your friends have foolishly followed you here.

Wolf:
Hey! Watch out, guys!

Mamo:
And someone else is tracking them, apparently.

[Detective Zenigata, with a picture of Wolf, is shown questioning Laozi of his location]

Wolf:
Well, whaddya know! [laughs] The plot’s thickening up very nicely!

Mamo:
He’s cornered one of the greatest philosophers in the history of the world.

Wolf:
You mean some paranoid nut who thinks he is…

Mamo:
No I don’t, he’s real!

Wolf:
You mean a real nut?

[Mamo shows them images of the people he has cloned]

Mamo:
Try to listen carefully and see if your poor brain can grasp that I’ve gathered the most brilliant men in history; from the fields of art, religion, philosophy and politics here! Not as some sort of conjuring trick, but an actual fact! Another thought that might let your poor brain boggle is that nothing is permanent, and even the world will one day be a mere glitch in the memory of God, who made all living beings. That time is near! Within one or two weeks, the world will end not with a whimper... but with a bang. Only people who are beautiful or mentally superior will live beyond it – those I choose!

Wolf:
[apparently deep in thought] Oh, boy... this poor brain's in pain. [chuckles, then laughs hysterically]

Mamo:
What's so funny?!

Lupin:
[still chuckling] I gotta give you top marks for thinking up such a brilliant plotline! You get life forever, but nowhere left to live it in! Oh, yes, I like it!

Mamo:
You may think mockery is clever, but it merely makes you look like a blinkered imbecile! Well, Fujiko? Do you see how little he deserves the attention of a girl as beautiful and intelligent as you?

[Fujiko is put off by Mamo's statement]

Mamo:
He shall not live eternally as I intend that you shall.

Fujiko:
I’m sorry, but if Wolf’s not in the deal, I’m not interested.

Mamo:
Fujiko!

Fujiko:
Sure, I'd like a slice of eternal youth... but I wouldn’t want to spend it watching him going bald and clutching a Zimmer frame!
