Quotes 

• Arsène Lupin III : [to Jigen and Goemon]  Look at you, bested by an old man. You should be ashamed. What have you got to say for yourselves, huh?

  Daisuke Jigen , Goemon Ishikawa XIII : [gagged, muffling]  Lupin, behind you! He's right behind you!

  [Zenigata appears behind Lupin, having him at gunpoint] 

  Arsène Lupin III : Whoa! Pops! Well, isn't this embarrassing?

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Not really. See? I'm serious now! Heh heh heh!

  [His smile fades and his expression becomes rueful. He pulls his hat brim down, and he and Lupin share a look] 

  Goemon Ishikawa XIII : [muffled]  Hey, guys, what about us?

  Daisuke Jigen : [muffled]  Can someone take this tape off?

  [to Lupin's astonishment, Zenigata suddenly bursts into tears] 

• [Fujiko, Jigen, and Goemon leave after backing out on the assignment] 

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Sad thing, you know, but nowadays without money, there's no love, Lupin.

• Fujiko Mine : Hey, guys. Whoa! That's amazing. It looks exactly like the real Pops, but what's it for? It's not Halloween.

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Hey! Betcha think that's pretty funny, Fujiko!

  Fujiko Mine : Whoa, it's amazing! I mean, he even gets angry exactly like him, too.

  Arsène Lupin III : I'd hope so, I mean, seeing as it is actually Pops himself.

  Fujiko Mine : Look, you can't fool me, Lupin. Of all the things I'm sure of in life, I'm sure that Pops is our enemy.

  Daisuke Jigen : Well, you know what they say: Yesterday's enemy is today's friend.

• [Zenigata is ensnared in his own handcuffs after a failed attempt to capture Lupin and his group] 

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : I don't get it. Yesterday, I caught you guys so easily. What's going on here?

  Arsène Lupin III : You know it's obvious you're not the same. You're different than you were yesterday, pal.

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : What the hell you mean by that?

  Arsène Lupin III : Yesterday, you were willing to become a thief just to return a single penny, so you gotta be just as crazy now if you wanna catch us.

• Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : I know, Lupin. I've realized I've put you in a terrible position, but I want to assure you of something. I'll be with you in this 'til the end. I'm certainly going to be fired for this, and you'll retire in shame. There's a kind of symmetry in it, I mean. When you think about it, it's fate.
