Inspector Zenigata Quotes in Lupin the IIIrd: Jigen Daisuke no Bohyo (2014)

Inspector Zenigata: [to his team] Let's go. We've going to have a lot of work to do.

Inspector Zenigata: [to Michael Suzuki] With all your abilities, the path you follow is a charade where you can just threaten the government and walk away! I would have chosen a much more civilized path - in fact, it's my job to put you guys on the same path as the rest of the law-abiding citizens!

Maria: So when do you think you'll be ready to have it?

Inspector Zenigata: Have what?

Maria: My cooking! You brought it up! And I've been practicing!

Inspector Zenigata: Oh.

Maria: Do you know why I've been practicing? Because you remind me so much of my father!

Inspector Zenigata: Your FATHER?

[groans]

Inspector Zenigata: [to himself] It figures. I never get the girl...

Maria: What's wrong with you?

Inspector Zenigata: The damn pedal's on too light! Lupin's getting away!

[car chase]

Maria: [driving] If I speed, you might get suspended again!

Inspector Zenigata: [pops his head out the passenger's seat] Whatever! My only goal is to put Lupin the Third behind bars!

Lupin III: Good old Pops...

[Zenigata passes by himself]

Inspector Zenigata: Hey there, Zenigata... Lupin, is that you?

Lupin III: Yo, Pops! Fancy meeting you here!

Lupin III: Why don't you team up with me?

Maria: With a thief?

Lupin III: Every day is an exciting roller-coaster ride!

Maria: It's tempting...

Inspector Zenigata: Your roller-coaster leads right into jail!

Maria: [interviewing Zenigata] What's the greatest joy in your life?

Inspector Zenigata: Arresting Lupin.

Maria: What is your motto?

Inspector Zenigata: Arresting Lupin.

Maria: Why haven't you ever been able to arrest Lupin?

Inspector Zenigata: Could you please stop talking?

Inspector Zenigata: Well, go ahead! Dig to your hearts content! This is government land and any gold you find will be turned over to the treasury department and used to reduce my taxes!

Inspector Zenigata: [on TV] Look, counterfeit money from all over the world. I came in after Lupin and found this terrible crime. What SHALL I do?

Interpol Secretary General: He's such a bad actor.

Inspector Zenigata: Lupin! Don't you dare die before I get to arrest you!

Inspector Zenigata: Damn! I was a step too slow! Lupin pulled off his theft!

Lady Clarisse de Cagliostro: No, he didn't steal anything. He fought for me.

Inspector Zenigata: No, ma'am. He stole something of no small value... your heart.

Lady Clarisse de Cagliostro: Yes, he did.

Inspector Zenigata: Well, then, I must be going...

Lupin III: What say we make a temporary truce, until we get out of here?

Inspector Zenigata: Fine. But I won't aid and abet crooks. I'll arrest you when we escape, I guarantee it!

Lupin III: Terrific. Let's have a proper shake on it.

[holds out his hand]

Inspector Zenigata: I won't become intimate with you!

Lupin III: Good grief...

Inspector Zenigata: These are coffins!... What is this? These are 10,000-Yen bills! Is that what all of these are?

Lupin III: These are well made! Have a look, Old Man!

Inspector Zenigata: West German 1000-Mark bills!

Lupin III: Pounds! Dollars! Francs! Roubles! Rupees! Pesos! Crowns! Lira! Oh, and they've even got Won! All the world's currencies!

Inspector Zenigata: Lupin! Is this the secret of this castle? Counterfeiting?

Lupin III: That's right. This is the source of the Goat Money, which was valued above the real thing at one time. Since the upheavals in Medieval Europe, the mysterious counterfeit currency has been there, always squirming in the shadows. It brought about the collapse of the Bourbon Dynasty, and became the source of Napoleon's funds. It also triggered the worldwide panic of 1927. The Goat Money - the Black Hole - the star on the backstage of history. All those who tried to eliminate the heart of the problem were never heard from again.

Inspector Zenigata: I've heard the stories about it, but I never dreamed that an independent nation was running it...

Lupin III: What are you gonna do, Old Man? You can't turn your back on it, now that you've seen it.

Inspector Zenigata: I know. It would shame my policeman's blood.

Lupin III: Hurry up, Old Man! We're gonna have company soon!

Inspector Zenigata: Evidence! I need evidence!

[last lines]

Lupin III: Oh, no! It's the Old Man again!

Inspector Zenigata: Lupin! I'll get you this time for sure!

[English dub]

Inspector Zenigata: Lupin managed to steal something again!

Clarisse d'Cagliostro: No, he didn't steal anything. All he did was fight for me.

Inspector Zenigata: No, he stole something quite precious... your heart.
