Tony Oliver: Arsène Lupin III

Quotes 

• Arsène Lupin III : [after explaining how the Dracula's Tear was already stolen]  It was surprisingly easy. I mean, do all you guys sleep like Rip Van Winkle or is it just tough being a rich old blimpophile?

  Gabriel XIII : But then why did you hang around afterwards?

  Arsène Lupin III : Well, after all, we were your guests and you've been so generous, it would've been rude to leave before you played out your hand.

  Daisuke Jigen : We may not be royalty, but we do have class.

• Arsène Lupin III : What's the prognosis?

  Daisuke Jigen : Nah. I wouldn't wanna override it. Not unless you wanna wind up like the first Hindenburg.

• Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Just give it up. There's no way out of this this time, Lupin. We're puttin' you on ice for good and I got your mittens right here.

  [pulls out a pair of handcuffs] 

  Arsène Lupin III : That's very kind, but you might wanna save those for that cold day in hell when I admit defeat.

• Goemon Ishikawa XIII : To Greenland. On a self-piloted blimp.

  Arsène Lupin III : Can't really say I saw that one coming.

  Daisuke Jigen : Seems like robbing a sleeping old cooch should've been easier.

• Arsène Lupin III : [previewing the next episode]  Oh, man, how did I get so ugly? And mean? Is that really me? Something funny's going on and I don't mean ha-ha funny like this. It's shocking. It's exciting. It's smack-me-up-the-head-and-call-me-Patsy. Catch you later!

• Gabriel XIII : Lupin only has until midnight to steal this treasure. After that, not even the greatest thief in the world could pull it off.

  Arsène Lupin III : [as Sherlock Holmes III]  Quite brilliant, really. I must say. It's got me pondering the best orifice for my stamp collection.

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Uh... No way. I'm not gonna touch that one. Three hours left.

  Gabriel XIII : So, come on. Candyland? Moustrap? Hungry Hippos?
