Richard Epcar: Daisuke Jigen

Quotes 

• [Beauty is disintegrated by Lupin's mercury bullet] 

  Daisuke Jigen : Was it, uh, supposed to work like that?

  Arsène Lupin III : I'm not a chemist or anything, you know, but I think I might've added a little too much explosive. Probably shouldn't do that kind of thing when you're in a bad mood.

• Daisuke Jigen : [about Beauty]  Well, that's bad news. New York's demon detective is back. I don't know how the hell the guy ever earned a promotion. I tell ya, Interpol sure is going downhill.

• [after Lupin's "death"] 

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Proud of yourself, are ya? Huh?

  Inspector Beauty : Hmph!

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : I oughta... Beauty, you bastard!

  Daisuke Jigen : He's a sadist, too. Killing's not good enough for him. I guess the guy has to use hollow-point bullets just to make his victims suffer.

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Well, is that the truth, Beauty? You're actually using dumdums? Those things are, um...

  Daisuke Jigen : Illegal. They have been ever since the Treaty of Versailles of 1929. I don't know a whole lot of history, but if it affects me, I remember it.

• Daisuke Jigen : He's a much better shot than you, with a better gun. You duel with him and you're dead.

• Daisuke Jigen : Speaking of accuracy, I noticed something about that gun that Beauty was waving around yesterday. It's got a venturi built on it, and that's used for cooling the barrel so that the heat won't affect your aim. It's state of the art. Your Walther P-38 was originally manufactured all the way back in the 1930s. All I'm saying is, Beauty's got a .44 Colt A. Python that was made only a few years ago, and that's the difference. You do the math, Lupin.
