Quotes
-
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : [showing his badge] I'm Zenigata from Japan. I'm tired. I'll arrest you if you don't give me a ride.
First Swedish Officer : Please get in.
[the exhausted Inspector does so]
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : It's ten o'clock at night, but it's still light outside. Why is that?
Second Swedish Officer : Because of the midnight sun, Inspector.
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : I know that! I'm asking you why I can't sleep!
First Swedish Officer : It's probably because it's too bright.
[He presents an eye mask]
First Swedish Officer : Please use this.
[Zenigata fastens the eye mask around his eyes, then yawns]
Second Swedish Officer : [not realizing Zenigata is already asleep] We've heard you've come all the way from Japan pursuing Lupin, Inspector.
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : [startled] What? Lupin? Where? I can't see anything! It's dark! What is this? How come I can't see? I can't see anything. Is this the end of the world?
First Swedish Officer : It's because you have the eye mask on, Inspector.
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Huh?
[He lifts the eye mask]
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Oh, I guess you're right. That midnight sun is so annoying!
[He pulls the eye mask back over his eyes]
First Swedish Officer : Why did Lupin come here, Inspector?
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : [drowsily] That bastard seems to be planning an escape to the North Pole. From a secret North Pole base, he plans to escape to the Moon. So I've sent an urgent telegram to the chief, requesting a rocket be made immediately to pursue Lupin. I'll go to the moon on the rocket, and I will arrest that bastard. He'll probably try to escape with the three-loop somersault, and I'll counteract with the moon somersault. Do you understand?
[He falls asleep. Outside the car, Lupin and Jigen stroll up to the car]
Daisuke Jigen : Ah, that blindfolded guy looks like Pops.
Arsène Lupin III : Poor guy. He must have done something wrong and got busted.
[He gets out a cigarette and approaches the drivers]
Arsène Lupin III : Hi. Thank you for your hard work. Can I borrow your lighter?
Second Swedish Officer : You can't smoke here.
[Lupin approaches Zenigata]
Arsène Lupin III : [reaching in through the window and getting the sleeping policeman's handcuffs] Oh, I totally forgot! Sorry.
[He gives a friendly wave and they walk down the street, laughing]
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : [suddenly waking up] Hmm? That laughter... Hey, wait! Lupin! He must have escaped to the other side of the moon! Damn it!
First Swedish Officer : Calm down, Inspector. You're on Earth.
[Zenigata takes the eye mask off]
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Was it a dream? I slept very well. Thank you.
First Swedish Officer , Second Swedish Officer : [as Zenigata rubs his eyes] You're welcome.
[Zenigata gets out of the car]
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : What an annoying midnight sun.
[He starts to move, but can't]
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Hey! What are you doing? Let go! I'm telling you to let go of me!
[He finds that the belt loop of his coat has been handcuffed to the car door]

Arsène Lupin III : [seeing Zenigata bearing down on him while riding a torpedo] It's Pops again! Doesn't he have anything better to do?
