Lupin Video Editing

[LadyLupin]

I am working on an audio-video syncing project. My professor okayed using my DVD of the original series. I have to write a script based on the Japanese and rewrite it from an English perspective. I thought on using eight minutes of footage from the 'Mon episode or the Pycal episode. Any suggestions on which and what particular scene?

[gothichyppie]

You should really include the underwater dream sequence in the Pycal episode with Fujiko as a mermaid!

Here's a revised version with character name pronunciations. I hope I got them right. =)

Introducing the 13th generation, Goemon Ishikawa!

(Intro: Optional)

(Title: Lupin the Third)

I’m Lupin the Third!  The famous thief, Arsene Lupin’s grandson.  Police around the world chase after me, but I’ve never been caught.  I steal everything in sight!  I’m the world’s greatest thief!

Daisuke Jigen, my partner in crime.  He’s a cool, professional gunman that can shoot any target with his magnum.  He has a strong sense of duty.  I can always rely on him.

Goemon Ishikawa the 13th, from a large family of thieves.  He’s a master at wielding the katana and can cut through anything.  What out when he’s angry.  He’s scary!

Inspector Koichi Zenigata.  He’s a descendent Heiji Zenigata.  He tries to catch me.  Sometimes he’s a real pain in the ass!

Fujiko Mine, a true woman of mystery.  I don’t know if she’s a spy or a thief.  She sometimes betrays me, but that’s what I love about her. 

I’m sure surrounded by some interesting people!  What’s going to happen to me this time? 

(Begins with Goemon demonstrating his sword’s cutting ability.)

(Applause)

Lupin: Incredible!

Jigen: Amazing!

Lupin: Well done!

Goemon:  I have no idea who you are, but that was not for your entertainment.  Applause is unnecessary.

Lupin:  I’m the executive producer of Hero Promotions.  It’s my job to bring amazing talent together for events.  I’m sort of a connector.

Goemon:  Connector?  What does that have to do with me?

Lupin:  This sharpshooting punk from America heard stories about your swordsmanship…

Jigen:  Think you’re hot stuff?  Let’s see what you’re made of!

Lupin:  How about it?  What do you say?

Goemon: Very well.  I cannot turn down a challenge from someone who came from afar.  Go ahead and fire.   

Jigen:  Yeah.  Here goes.

Lupin:  I won’t kill the guy, but Mister Showoff needs a lesson in humiliation.

Lupin:  You’re old-fashioned.  Kind of unusual for a Japanese man these days.

Goemon:  You have it backwards.  I am truly Japanese.  The others are strange!  Instead of appreciating beauty of the katana, they look to modern weapons.

Lupin:  Your sword’s very sharp.  It must have quite a history.

(Flashback begins)

Voice 1:  Behold the Kotetsu and its hunger for blood!  It will slice anything in two!

Voice 2:  I, Kamatsugawa, wield the Yoshikane with unrivalled skill!

Voice 3:  The infamous Masamune can split a falling leaf without fail!

(Flashback ends)

Goemon:  The Zantetsuken was forged in the memory of these blades. 

Lupin:  No wonder it cuts so well!

Goemon:  I intend to kill a man with my beloved blade.  His head is mine!

Lupin:  Oh really?  Who’s the guy?

Goemon:  Lupin the Third.

Lupin:  (chokes) Have you seen his mug before?

Goemon:  I have not.

Lupin:  (laughing) This is perfect!

Lupin:  Yikes!  I meant with my line of work allows me to meet all kinds of people.  I thought maybe I could help you out.

Goemon:  Who’s there?

Fujiko:  Excuse me.  It’s nice to see you again, Goemon.

Lupin:  Fujiko?

Goemon:  I would like you to meet the lovely Fujiko Mine, my girlfriend.

Fujiko:  Hello, pleased to meet you.

Lupin:  H-Hiya.  It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Fujiko:  Aren’t you Lup-…

Lupin:  Ahh!  There’s a huge ass spider!

Goemon:  There are no spiders here.

Fujiko:  That’s right. So you’re not…?

Lupin:  I see someone sneaking around outside.  It’s Lupin!

Goemon:  What?!

Fujiko:  Goemon…mmph!

Lupin:  Don’t tell him who I am.  Knowing you, you’re gold digging again.  Maybe I should tell him who you really are.

Fujiko:  Stop it!

Lupin:  Ah Fujiko.  You’re sexy when you’re angry.  Tell me!

Fujiko:  I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Lupin:  Come on…

Fujiko:  Get away!

Lupin:  Whoo, kinky!

Jigen:  Lupin, let’s get the hell out of here before he comes back.

Lupin:  Dammit.  Okay.  Tootles!

Lupin\Jigen:  Gah!!!

(Sign reads:  I’m going to kill you!)

Lupin:  Oh shit!

Jigen:  Run!

Goemon:  Halt or prepare to die!  I’ve known who you are all along.

Lupin:  What gave it away?

Goemon:  The person that hired me to kill you gave me a hint.  He told me that Lupin’s weakness is that he pokes his nose into other people’s business.

Jigen:  I guess it’s true.

Goemon:  I will allow you a head start.  Are you faster than the sword?  After the count of three, we will find out!

Lupin:  Sorry to disappoint you, but dying isn’t my style.

Goemon:  One!

Lupin:  Sorry if we don’t make it, Jigen.  I mean we are the bad guys after all.
Goemon:  Two!

Lupin:  So typical for guys like us to die on a tatami mat.  Hey!

Jigen:  Right!

Goemon:  Three!  Here I come!

Lupin/Jigen:  Now!

Lupin/Jigen:  (Grunting/Panting)

Lupin:  Go ahead and bring it on!

Goemon:  Your bravery is admirable, Lupin.

Lupin:  How did you like that stunt of mine?

Goemon:  Your methods are useless on this wall. You are no match against my sword here. 

Lupin:  The sword is the greatest of weapons.  Do you still believe that to be true, Goemon?  Do you?

Goemon:  Of course.

Lupin:  Is that so?  Allow me to disprove your hypothesis right before your eyes.

Goemon: That’s impossible, even if you are hiding a projectile in your jacket.

Goemon:  This is?

Lupin:  A special rocket fuel that ignites as soon as it’s exposed to the air. 

Lupin:  So long, Goemon.  Burn in peace!

Lupin:  Ahhhh!  Hot!  Hot!  Hot!  Hot!  Hot! Hot!  Hot!  Hot! Hot!  Hot!  Hot!  Hot!  Hot! Hot!  Hot!  Hot!

Lupin:  Damn!  I thought that bastard would be weak against fire.  That’s why I prepared that fuel.  Damn!

Jigen:  Quit your frigging whining already.  Take a look.

Lupin:  Old Man, Momochi?

Jigen:  The Death of Iga himself, the greatest assassin of his time, with a death count of 5,000 in 50 years.  It’s so respected that an underground circuit considered commemorating a museum in his honor.

Lupin:  I thought he died a long time ago.

Jigen:  Nope.  He’s been shacking up in some mountain hideout primping and priming a protégé to carry on his legacy.

Lupin:  Don’t tell me it’s…

Jigen:  Bingo!  It’s none other than Goemon Ishikawa the 13th.

Lupin:  Dammit!  Then bastard’s…

Jigen:  Momochi’s prize student.
