A Cheerful Gang Turns the Earth Page #3

---

You're lucky I ran over you.

If he falls, we're all done for.

Don't say that, Yukiko.

Timing is the key.

We only have until the drill begins.

We start at 14:
45

and only have 7 minutes.

The cops for the drill

will arrive...

We have to be gone by then.

I'll tell you

my 3 Biggest Surprises in Life.

Three? That's a lot.

First, that I proposed to Shoko.

Sweet.

Second, that Shoko said yes.

Bet she regrets it.

And third,

that she thought it was a joke.

Only one truth is needed

between a man and woman.

Yukiko wanted you

to see through her.

I know because I'm Cupid.

Cupid with bad aim.

Lies and the truth are back-to-back.

You see through lies

but you can't see the truth.

You're no good.

No good.

She may be from outer space,

but telepathy won't work.

"You betray us. I'll kill you."

"Maybe I should just do it now."

"Don't say that, Yukiko."

"Calm down."

"Time is finite."

"I know that."

"Don't burden my friends."

"But I'm your friend, too."

If that were true,

a gnat is my benefactor.

You used to be a better man.

Your soul has withered.

This way please, sir.

After you.

Today is the first

anti-crime event.

The Mayor and the Police Chief...

are about to start off on a parade.

Miss Crime Prevention rides along.

If this is a date, I'll pass.

This isn't my private car.

The first lie I ever noticed.

What?

"Be good

and Santa will bring a gift."

My mother said it.

I was about Shinichi's age.

Did you point it out?

No gift for me if I had.

So you were good.

Actually, I was scared...

of hurting her feelings.

If you fear hurting others,

you can't love anybody.

"Make our city the safest

in the world."

Uimichi,

are you lucky or unlucky?

I'm not sure.

You're neither. You're just sad.

Kyo, grow up.

Being immature is my policy.

Mr. Uimichi. Did you sleep well?

Uh, yes. I did.

Great.

In 420 seconds.

See you again at 14:52.

Let's go!

Where's the romanticism?

Welcome.

It's a bit early, but let's begin.

This is a drill, right?

Sure. Act naturally, please.

The cash for the drill is this way.

but I'd like to use this time

to speak about reality today.

Of all animals, humans depend

heavily on eyesight.

The cash for the drill is here.

Fine. By the way,

is the real cash over here?

Yes. What?

But a swaying scarecrow may look

frightening at night.

And terrified soldiers may not see

the faces of crying children.

People see different truths

depending on their mental state.

In 1973,

astronomer John Ball said...

Um, you can't open the safe.

Do you hear me?

So some of the hatred and sadness

permeating this zoo called Earth...

might be due to falsely believing

our own eyes.

Friends, it is not embarrassing

to doubt what you see.

If you feel hatred or sadness,

close your eyes for a moment.

360...

Encounters are followed by farewells.

The 7 minutes you gave us

is almost up.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Show's over.

Drop your guns!

Drop your guns!

Is that Hayashi?

I thought he died.

Bring the real dough.

Bring it!

Your license please.

Go.

Don't move.

Naruse!

Drop the guns!

I push and we all blow up!

Is that true?

Unfortunately, he's not lying.

He's really annoying.

License number 459147398660.

Please refer.

Here's a gift from me, Naruse.

You'll be the first to go!

I've been waiting for this moment

for a long, long time!

You know him?

No.

It's me! Don't you remember?

Oh, you're that dopey banker.

"Dopey" is so immature.

You might have forgotten...

but I never forgot about you

for one single day!

"Robbers"

What the hell? Hey, what the...

It's over. Don't be rash.

Please put the gun down.

Heads, I win.

Tails, you lose.

Right, Naruse?

The coin's still turning...

Mr. Kanzaki.

Really?

Oh my god.

Kanzaki didn't exist.

No, rather, Jimichi didn't exist.

Naruse...

your powers can only do so much.

Put the gun down.

That's fake.

Let's go.

Hey, you!

Kanzaki!

Naru!

Naru!

We have an emergency!

Pursue the escaping vehicle!

Naru.

Can't see!

Real robbers have escaped

during the drill.

The police have failed once gain!

Move!

Naru.

Naru!

Naru.

Naru!

Naru!

Naru!

Naru...

"Tanaka Store:
Quality Guaranteed"

Arrest him!

Kuon!

Liar.

How are you guys?

How are you guys?

I'm doing great.

I managed to preserve

the Hikagami Impala Alexandros.

It's endangered,

with only 20 left in the world.

I donated most of the leftover money.

Humans are responsible for

endangered species.

Naru wasn't blown up thanks to me,

so we're even.

I'm leaving the gang...

but I hope you guys make it big.

Goodbye, Adios!

"I'd like to withdraw some money."

"Oh. I saw you in the papers!"

"Good for you. God will bless you."

"I hope so."

Of course. God is always watching.

What? No way! Naru?

Let's go!

Where's the romanticism?

Oh my god.

Don't move!

You there, don't move.

Even with the time difference.

a minute is still 60 seconds.

Now, a man once asked,

"When does a film end?"

Now, a man once asked,

"When does a film end?"

The man who was asked said...

"When the camera moves away and

the star fades from view."

Another man says, "No."

"Wait until the credits start rolling."

"Because some have NG scenes."

"And some even have curtain calls."

So if the credits start and nothing

happens, can you go?

No, watch out.

"What if the villain

is actually still alive?"

"Stay until the lights go up!"

some might say.

I don't know the right answer.

But all films, no matter how fun,

must end.

I say a film is more important

after it ends.

Say you fell in love

with the person next to you?

How about that?

What? No way, you say?

Why not? Try gazing

into each other's eyes.

See? Life is fun

because it's unpredictable.

Things can even come falling

out of the air.

Oh, time's up.

Maybe again next time.

"Damn gang! Go to hell!"

You know, robbing a bank

in Mexico fee is so great!

In films, gangs are shot dead

before crossing the border.

Not romantic.

Gangs should be cheerful.

Where to now?

How about Switzerland?

Where all the bad money is.

Right.

Why is bad money pooled there?

Borderless tax evasion.

This is related to Calvin

and the Reformation...

Hey, what about my giraffe question?

Not yet. My apologies.

Still thinking.

What about a giraffe?

Hold on.

Where's the romanticism?
