Quotes 

• [Zenigata receives a letter] 

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : What? A letter? Nice! I wonder if it's from Mother...

  [checks the sender's name] 

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : LUPIN?

  [tears the envelope and reads the letter inside] 

  Arsène Lupin III : "Hey, Pops, you know that famous bottle of wine that's going to Washington for the President? Well, it's not. Catch you later, Lupin. P.S. Don't you EVER take that coat off?"

  [Zenigata storms around the room in a rage] 

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : That no-good thief's just taunting me! Damn you!

  [hurls the bread into a car, wrecking it] 

• [note to Zenigata] 

  Arsène Lupin III : "Dear Inspector: In recognition of your nearly successful efforts, here's some really cheap crap. HA!"

• [down in a cellar] 

  Fujiko Mine : This would be real homey if I were a spider or a corpse...

  Arsène Lupin III : Actually, it's perfect for wine storage! You see, the coolness and the dark allow it to age without spoiling.

  Goemon Ishikawa XIII : So this must be the place where Dick Clark lived...

• Daisuke Jigen : Lupin, let's just grab this bottle and vamoose, okay?

  Arsène Lupin III : Sure, it's, uh, right over there.

  [points to a room full of wine bottles] 

  Daisuke Jigen : Uh, could you be just a little bit more specific?

  Fujiko Mine : How in the world are we ever going to find it?

  Arsène Lupin III : Well, uh, I'm pretty certain the bottle's green.

  [all the bottles are green] 

  Daisuke Jigen : [sarcastic]  Well, that's a lot of help.

• [Lupin is drunkenly driving the gang back to the hideout] 

  Daisuke Jigen : You sure you're okay to drive?

  Arsène Lupin III : Oh, sure. I'm fine. Just fine. A little bit of alcohol like that isn't going to affect me.

• Arsène Lupin III : [in disguise, offering to kiss Zenigata on the cheek]  'Allo! What about me?

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Uh, no thanks. Gotta run. Bye!

• Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : I knew you were settin' me up, Lupin. You had no idea where the bottle was, but I turned the tables on you, Lupin! I had him take me to the wrong place, and now you're hoist on your own whatever you call it.

  Arsène Lupin III : [annoyed]  Petard! It's called a damn petard!

• Arsène Lupin III : [holding up a lit match]  Hungry, Pops? Cause a touch of flame's all we need to make a flatfoot flambé.

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Lupin, please, don't do it!

  Arsène Lupin III : Okay, but do me a favor and just marinate a little longer. Thanks, buddy. So long. See ya.
