Hodgkins (USA dub): Hm - Giuseppi Mayart? Of course. Secretly came to Japan about twenty years ago, and he hasn't changed a bit. I don't know, though...

Taki Renzaburo: What'ser matter?

Hodgkins (USA dub): I'm not sure, but, I wonder if he's the real one. I could be wrong, but I've got a strong feeling that... well, I'm afraid he may be a decoy.

Taki Renzaburo: Gimmie a break. If you can't tell I'm single, you're blind.

Hodgkins (USA dub): Ha... you're protecting something, alright, but what that might be, you haven't found it yet. Believe me, it'll make sense when you find it. Everything will fall into place, just like magic.
