Hey babe, wanna have fun with me?
I'm a future star, why should I date with someone like you?
Babe, if you need a work at the strip-bar I can recommend you.
I'm gonna be a big star, and become rich.
Hey, babe!
Hi, babe!
Young lady...
It was year 1955. On that stage behind us,
was the first performance of a kind-hearted dancer girl.
But since then the girl didn't perform here.
Because she had no need to.
She became the big star:
Julie Andrews.
Liar! That's the name of the old hag who owns the place.
You bastard!
Buccher...
What is it?
I was very happy in 1950's...
Before I met you! How can you always mess up?
How could... Wait...
Oh, excuse me.
My bad fortune started in the 60's, after you became my partner!
Sorry! Wait!
Well? See how I can dance?
There's a free spot for a janitor.
Please, do something.
Back at my hometown they called me Marilyn Monroe.
Come again if you're free.
Listen, Buccher! Without you, I...
You what?
Shut up!
Remember back in 1971? Why would a bandit leave a receipt in the bank?
Because they requested for it.
We were sent to jail 4 hours later.
You wrote your address and name on the receipt.
Even left your thumb-print!
I'm gonna kill you!
Try me if you dare!
Don't kill me!
I'm just an innocent passer-by.
Thank you!
Wait, Lupppin!
Lupin?
Right, I'll use Lupin to become a big star.
You`re a Cat, I`m a Dried Tuna
Ms. Vivian, did Lupin really intrude into your room?
He came to steal my cat.
What? Lupin, steals a cat? Can't be!
It's a very expensive cat.
What?
How much is it worth?
It's... it's... a million dollars.
Lupin wouldn't steal something so cheap.
But... that's... because...
Hey, a word with you.
Missy, what kind of cat was that?
What kind? A cat that eats pencil scraps.
Worth a million.
What's going on?
Why would I steal a cat that eats pencils?
It's a cat that eats pencil scraps.
Doesn't matter. It's just a children newspaper.
Right, right!
Don't joke!
This is a threat to my image.
But isn't it cute? Lupin eating... no, stealing a cat that eats pencil scrap.
Fujiko, listen to me!
My life needs not cuteness, it needs excitement.
So?
I'll go find that pencil-eating kitty, and send it to that Vivian.
The nose?
Like a dumpling.
Direction?
Upwards.
It looks more like a pig, not a cat.
Uncle, just stop it!
Shut up, kid!
I don't believe Lupin would steal a pencil-eating cat.
But I always check any case that may be connected to Lupin.
This is my hard work.
If only I didn't lie...
Did you say something?
Nothing...
This?
All right, next.
This?
All right, next.
You!Work hard!
Have you seen a cat that eats pencil scrap?
Why do I have to do this?
Is there a reward?
Excuse me.Do you know a pencil scrap-eating cat.
There are no cats here.
Excuse me... a pencil scrap-eating cat...
I won't buy it.
Excuse me... A pencil-scrap eating cat...
Excuse me, have you seen a pencil scrap eating cat?
You're from the animal preservation association?
Just on time. Take this.
Meow!
Meow, I said!
Can I really catch it this way?
I'm hungry.
Bakki... lately I'm regretting having a partner like you.
What?
Those should be my words.
You bastard!
You...
Looking for a pencil scrap-eating caaat!
Anybody knows this pencil scrap-eating cat?
That's the famous Lupin III?
He's looking for a pencil scrap-eating cat? He's really extraordinary.
How come?
He has individuality.
A famous person wasting time for a lost cat must be very rich.
Fortune is on our side.
That goes without saying.
You said it, partner.
I shall not do this anymore!
Me neither.
I agree.
Don't say that. We're friends, right?
Fujiko, Goemon, Jigen...
That happened in 1979, meaning this year!
Who's there? Who's there?
We found the pencil scrap eating cat.
All right, let's get it back.
Wait!
Wait for me!
What about the money.
The money later.
So, Vivian, you say this isn't your cat?
Right.
But this cat eats pencil scraps.
You're joking.
Hey.Show it to her.
What's wrong?
No pencil scraps.
Find it.
Stop the stupid jokes.
No cat in this world eats pencil scraps...
The cat's eating...
Making scraps from the pencil...
and eats them!
Buccher, this is a big catch.
Make this cat give birth to more.
Right!
Then we'll sell them.
As pencil scrap-eating cats.
This is a good idea.
Wait!
That cat is mine!
You must be joking.
Didn't you say it wasn't yours just now?
But now it's mine.
I won't let you!
It's ours!
Wait!
My cat!
It's a little dirty, but you have to hide.
Why must you stick to me?
Goodbye!
Wait!
Waaaait!
Waaait!
Why me?
Forget it! I have no time to play with you!
I'm sorry!
It's mine!
Mine!
I got it.
I won't hand you to them.
Goodbye!
Stop the noise!
What's wrong? Empty stomach?
Wait.Wait.
I'll try to find something.
This is your favorite pencil, right?
You're a strange cat.
Is this delicious?
Isn't this fish-cake?
Right, Jigen, that's how it is.
Then I'll leave it to you.
What? Lupin's running away with a cat?
Right, please help!
This time I'll arrest Lupin.
Lupin, you're under arrest for stealing a cat.
Stealing a cat?
That's right.
It's because of you.
Go on! Go away.
Shoo, shoo! shoo!
You rascal...
I'm a dog...
Great job!
It's time to go.
Lupin, I'll give you 10 minutes to surrender with the cat.
Otherwise we'll force in. Lupin, are you ready?
What about my cat?
Shut up! I don't care about the cat.
How could you...
It was year 1965.
I met a strange Japanese man, and got the cat from him.
So you're the cat's rightful owner.
Anyway, let's see how Lupin escapes here.
Lupin!
15 seconds left!

All right!Get ready!
Fire!!!
Charge!
Inspector, Lupin and the cat are not here.
Impossible, they must be nearby!
Keep searching!
Oh, no!
It's falling!
Run away!
Inspector, we couldn't find Lupin and the cat anywhere.
Darn, he ran away again.
All right, retreat!
This is...
Mr. Dorogata, that's my cat. Please, search harder!
I'm Zenigata.
Tax thieeeeef!
Kitty!
Could Lupin and the cat have been crushed?
No, they'll definitely escape.
Kitty!
Hi! The cat is here.
Lupin!!!
Give my cat back!
It's ours!
You guys wait.
I'll give you another pencil scrap-eating cat.
It's coming.
Help!
What? let's see?
Ms. Vivian's dancing cats?
She made it in the circus.
That girl became very popular.
Don't joke!
She lied about me stealing her cat.
This isn't bad.
Thinking back, we helped her.
That's right.
Welcome!Welcome!
This is the pencil scrap eating cats.
One for 50 cents.
Kid, try it.
And only 50 cent for a pencil.
Thanks for your patronage.
But Bakki, if they knew the pencil was made from fishcake it would be terrible.
What?
Before that we'll run far away.
We can always find cats to sell.
Fujiko's finally agreed to marry me. It's like a dream.
But before that, she wants to have the Cursed Diamond of Hope,
I agreed, of course.
