***SIGN*** [Heiji Kozenigata is a hard-boiled detective in pursuit of Chogoro the Foxfire.]
***SIGN*** [When the authorities are warned that the Golden Fried Tofu Statue is going to be stolen, he violates his suspension and rushes to the scene.]
***SIGN*** ["Hard-Boiled Eggs Don't Crack"]
**[01:47] Constable 1**
Hey, what's that sound?
**[01:49] Constable 2**
Is it coming from outside?
**[01:50] Kagura**
Arley!
**[01:52] Kagura**
Davidson!
**[01:56] Constable C**
A-An intruder! From the front door!
**[01:58] Superior A**
Is it the Fox?!
**[01:59] Constable C**
No, she's wearing full body tights!
**[02:00] Superior A**
What?! Tights?! What's going on?!
**[02:03] Constable B**
She's on a rampage-shouting things like she can't control her youthfulness!
**[02:07] Constable B**
She might be heading for Mt. Fuji!
***SIGN*** [Note: Biker gangs in Japan often drive to Mount Fuji for meetings.]
**[02:09] Superior A**
What's with that offbeat description of her rampage?
**[02:12] Constable B**
I may not look it, but I used to be a bad dude.
**[02:15] Superior A**
People who talk like that are usually the ones who haven't done much.
**[02:18] Superior A**
You know, like **** and ****.
**[02:20] Constable C**
Should you be mentioning names?
**[02:21] Superior A**
Never mind! Arrest anyone who looks suspicious! Alert mode, on!
**[02:26] Constable C**
Roger that.
**[02:28] Superior A**
Today, the game is over! Full-body tights!
**[02:32] Constable C**
No, it's the Fox!
**[02:34] Shinpachi**
Looks like they're moving out in full force.
**[02:36] Gintoki**
Come on, if they attract too much attention, won't the Fox tuck his tail and run?
**[02:40] Haji**
I don't think that'll happen.
**[02:43] Haji**
He went to the trouble of announcing his crime.
**[02:46] Haji**
The Fox would have anticipated this level of security.
**[02:49] Kozenigata**
He'll come for sure. A man always needs to expose himself to danger...
**[02:55] Kozenigata (M)**
He's a bloodthirsty beast that can't live without it.
**[02:58] Gintoki**
Hey! Hide! What're you doing?!
**[03:00] ---**
What're you drinking wine for?!
**[03:02] Kozenigata**
This isn't wine It's Camus.
**[03:05] ---**
I just can't stop shaking.
**[03:07] Kozenigata (M)**
Seems the beast inside of me is getting antsy, as well.
**[03:14] Shinpachi**
He's totally scared-scared so stiff he's puking.
**[03:18] Gintoki**
You're a fool. Stop drinking that wine already.
**[03:21] Gintoki**
We all know you're not really hard-boiled.
**[03:24] Kozenigata**
This isn't wine. It's Camus.
**[03:27] Gintoki**
Camus, Amuro, what's the difference?
***SIGN*** [Note: Amuro is a main character from the first GUNDAM. Camus is a main character from Z GUNDAM.]
**[03:28] Gintoki**
Stop using alcohol to get rid of your jitters!
**[03:30] Shinpachi**
Gin-san, please get a hold of yourself! You're puking...
**[03:34] Haji**
C'mon, pull yourselves together. Ugh, what an awful sour smell!
**[03:39] ---**
What's the matter with you people?!
**[03:41] Constable D**
What're you doing there?
**[03:43] Constable D**
Huh?
**[03:44] ---**
It's you, Haji?
**[03:46] Haji**
There's nothing suspicious over here!
**[03:49] Constable D**
Something smells...
**[03:51] ---**
Didn't I just see someone?
**[03:52] Haji**
No, it was just me.
**[03:54] Constable E**
Haji, weren't you taken off duty today?
**[03:57] Haji**
No, I couldn't stay home knowing the Fox is showing up.
**[04:01] Constable E**
You're quite the go-getter.
**[04:05] Haji**
Uh! I already checked over there.
**[04:10] Gintoki (M)**
This is too close...too close. They'll spot us.
**[04:12] Gintoki (M)**
Take off those glasses. What're you wearing glasses with armor for?!
**[04:16] Shinpachi (M)**
Glasses are armor for the eyes.
**[04:24] Shinpachi/Gintoki (M)**
We're sa...
**[04:25] Shinpachi/Gintoki (M)**
...fe...?
**[04:25] Constable D**
Do you remember a statue like this?
**[04:27] Constable E**
That's a statue of Leyasu.
**[04:29] Kozenigata (Changed Voice)**
Pin pon pan pon.
**[04:30] ---**
You are looking at a statue of the moment when a hard-boiled assassin
**[04:34] ---**
ambushed Lord Leyasu during an unguarded moment while the lord was hawking.
**[04:38] Gintoki/Shinpachi**
There's...
**[04:40] Gintoki/Shinpachi**
no such statue!
**[04:41] Constable D**
Kozenigata! Damn you!
**[04:44] Constable D**
You're on suspension! What're you doing here?!
**[04:49] Kozenigata**
Tsk, now I'll definitely be fired unless I apprehend the Fox and restore my honor.
**[04:55] ---**
Hmph, I'm looking forward to it.
**[04:58] ---**
Okay, let's head back to the bar and regroup.
**[05:02] Gintoki**
You're not looking forward to it at all! You're running away!
**[05:04] Gintoki**
What do you mean, "head back to the bar"? We never went to a bar!
**[05:08] Gintoki**
That was a cheap roadside drinking stand!
**[05:10] Kozenigata**
That's a bar. I can't go into fancy bars-they make me nervous.
**[05:14] Gintoki**
You really don't have an ounce of hard-boiled in you!
**[05:18] Kozenigata**
Haji!
**[05:19] Haji**
Boss!
**[05:26] Kozenigata**
The...Fox?!
**[05:27] Constable E**
He appeared! The Fox appeared!
**[05:29] Constable D**
Apprehend-
**[05:33] Shinpachi**
What?! In the blink of an eye!
**[05:39] Gintoki**
That bastard!
**[05:40] Gintoki**
He's mocking us!
**[05:43] Haji**
Boss... Did the Fox...just save me...?
**[05:48] Kozenigata (M)**
Hmph... No way...
**[05:50] Kozenigata (M)**
But that Fox somehow seems familiar...
**[05:55] Kozenigata (M)**
We chased after the Fox, but were unable to capture him in the end.
**[06:00] Kozenigata (M)**
We returned to the bar to regroup.
**[06:03] Gintoki**
Hey, stop going on with your story!
**[06:05] Gintoki**
How badly do you want to go to a bar?!
**[06:07] Gintoki**
Can't you do anything without going to a bar first?!
**[06:10] ---**
After the bastard!
**[06:12] Kozenigata (M)**
We decided to regroup at a bar or while playing a game of pool.
**[06:16] Shinpachi**
No playing pool, either! We're going, dummy!
**[06:19] Constable C**
No mistake. It's the Fox.
**[06:21] Constable C**
He's made it past each of our cordons and is nearing the Golden Fried Tofu Statue.
**[06:24] Superior A**
We can't do this with sheer numbers alone.
**[06:27] ---**
That's all right... To reach the Golden Fried Tofu Statue, he'll have to pass several traps.
**[06:32] ---**
It'd be impossible for even the Fox to get through that.
**[06:35] Constable B**
There! On monitor 12!
**[06:37] Constable B**
Our fellow officers are being attacked!
**[06:39] Superior A**
Hey! The Fox is showing up on monitor 9! Who is that on number 10?
**[06:43] Constable C**
The Fox?!
**[06:45] Superior A**
That can't be! Another Fox?!
**[06:47] Constable C**
Take a look! On number 2, as well!
**[06:51] Cosntable B**
Hey! He's on number 5 and number 6, too!
**[06:53] Constable C**
The cameras are being destroyed one after another!
**[06:56] Superior A**
What in hell's name is going on?!
**[06:57] Constable C**
The camera in this room is the only one left!
**[06:59] Superior A**
How can this be? What the hell's going on?!
**[07:02] Cosntable C (Fox Imposter 2)**
Maybe you're being tricked by the Fox.
**[07:07] Gintoki**
W-Wait!
**[07:09] Shinpachi**
It's no use, Gin-san... We'll never catch up to him!
**[07:14] Shinpachi**
He's just cruising! He's totally playing games with us!
**[07:18] Gintoki**
Play with us, will he?! I'll catch that guy and kill him no matter what!
**[07:24] Shinpachi**
It...hurts...
**[07:26] ---**
It feels like no matter how much we run, we're not moving forward!
**[07:30] Kozenigata (M)**
There are times when you think you're moving forward, but you're actually losing ground.
**[07:35] Kozenigata (M)**
In the end, it's okay just as long as at the moment you die, you've advanced at least one step forward.
**[07:41] Shinpachi**
Shut up! Hearing that when I'm tired makes me really angry! Die, you!
**[07:45] Gintoki**
Calm down, Shinpachi! Don't waste your energy!
**[07:48] Gintoki**
But this is strange-we really ought to be moving more than this!
**[07:50] Gintoki**
What is this?!
**[07:51] Gintoki**
The floor is moving backwards!
**[07:54] Gintoki**
Cut it out! Give me back the effort I expended!
**[07:57] Shinpachi**
What'll we do?! We're not moving forward at all!
**[08:00] ---**
Oh, I give up.
**[08:09] Shinpachi**
Faster! Run faster!
**[08:11] Shinpachi**
We'll be skewered! Faster! The spikes are gaining on us!
**[08:14] Gintoki**
Don't ask the impossible! My legs are so wobbly, they're like Bambi's when he was born!
**[08:18] Gintoki**
I can't use my ears to fly, you know!
***SIGN*** [Note: Refers to Disney's Dumbo.]
**[08:22] Shinpachi**
That's it! Run on the walls! Jump like Bambi!
**[08:26] Gintoki**
Heaven...
**[08:27] Gintoki**
give me strength!
**[08:31] Gintoki**
Ow, ow, ow. My crotch is going to split! It's going to split!
**[08:33] Shinpachi**
Wha'tre you doing?!
**[08:38] Gintoki**
Pull me out quickly! Pull me out!
**[08:42] Kozenigata**
Coin toss!
**[08:44] ---**
Grab on to me, everybody!
**[08:45] Shinpachi**
Kozenigata-san! You really can succeed if you try!
**[08:48] Kozenigata**
I'm tangled.
**[08:49] Shinpachi**
We can't grab hold of you!
**[08:50] Shinpachi**
What'll we do?
**[08:53] Shinpachi**
There!
**[08:54] Gintoki**
Nice, Shinpachi!
**[08:56] Shinpachi**
Wait, this isn't working! Too many people! Go somewhere else!
**[08:59] Gintoki**
Don't be so cold, Shinpachi-kun.
**[09:02] Shinpachi**
It's not going to hold! It's at its limit!
**[09:03] Haji**
Boss is at his limit, too!
**[09:05] Kozenigata**
But I kinda like this...
**[09:07] Gintoki**
Forget that idiot boss of yours!
**[09:09] Shinpachi**
This is bad! What do we do now? Another one's coming!
**[09:13] Shinpachi**
We're in trouble again...
**[09:15] Haji**
It's old lady luck! We've got it made!
**[09:18] Shinpachi**
What's an old lady doing here?! Why is there an old lady?! Who slid her down here?!
**[09:21] Haji**
But we're saved. I wonder where that old lady came from?
**[09:29] Gintoki**
Dammit! Why do we have to carry an old lady we've never seen before?!
**[09:34] Gintoki**
Give me a break! I'm at my limit! We're ignoring the next old lady who comes down!
**[09:39] Gintoki**
Forget it! I'm done with old ladies!
**[09:41] Gintoki**
Hey! Now it's an old man! What's going on?
**[09:45] Gintoki**
Who is he?! Who's old man is he?! Ignore him!
**[09:47] Gintoki**
Don't look! We can't carry any more!
**[09:52] Old Man**
Good-bye, dear. I love you.
**[09:55] Gintoki**
Old man! We won't let you say good-bye!
**[09:58] Shinpachi**
She's right next to you! Your old lady's right next to you! Tell her what you said!
**[10:03] Gintoki**
Hey, what's with this?! What kind of harassment is this?
**[10:05] Gintoki**
We've got a family here! Who's passing them down?!
**[10:08] Gintoki**
Treat your elders with respect, dummy!
**[10:11] Haji**
Ack! Another person is coming!
**[10:13] Gintoki**
Hey!
**[10:14] Gintoki**
You're the son, right?
**[10:15] Gintoki**
What's wrong with you! You should be looking after your father!
**[10:17] Shinpachi**
Gin-san, how did you know?
**[10:18] Gintoki**
He looks just like his father around the corners of his eyes!
**[10:20] Son**
Father, Mother...about the inheritance. I've decided that I will take it all.
**[10:27] Son**
The others complained quite a bit, though.
**[10:29] Shinpachi**
He's talking about an inheritance when his father and mother are in a situation like this!
**[10:33] Gintoki**
We can let this one be skewered, right? Go lay a nest egg, you bastard!
**[10:44] Gintoki**
Three generations share the same eyes corners!
**[10:47] Gintoki**
You have to live! No matter how evil you are, a child needs his parents!
**[10:51] Shinpachi**
It doesn't look good, Gin-san! It's almost on us!
**[10:54] Gintoki**
You fool! This family's lives depend on us!
**[10:57] Shinpachi**
It's no use! We're going to die!
**[10:59] Kagura**
Arley...
***SIGN*** [Note: Wordplay on Harley Davidson.]
**[11:01] Kagura**
Davidson!
**[11:07] Fox**
Since ancient times, the fox has been revered as a deity of the fields; a servant of the gods of rice.
**[11:12] Fox**
A Fox deity, if you will.
**[11:15] Fox**
A statue of the fox's favorite food made of gold shows how popular I am in Edo.
**[11:21] Fox**
But while people call me a god, it's interesting that others call me a monster that tricks people.
**[11:31] Fox**
The Nine-tailed fox, Tamamo-no-mae, Dakki, Houji and a variety of other scary monsters.
***SIGN*** [Note: Tamamo-no-mae (Beautiful Fox Witch). Dakki (Fox demon). Houji was the concubine of the Ancient Chinese sovereign King You of Zhou.]
**[11:37] ---**
Is the Fox a god, or a monster? And what does that make me?
**[11:43] Kozenigata**
Cut the crap, you lowlife!
**[11:45] Kozenigata**
You're neither a god, nor a monster. You're nothing but a filthy burglar.
**[11:51] Kozenigata**
We'll settle ten years of bad blood right here.
**[12:05] Kozenigata**
Fox. It's time to pay the piper. Give yourself up peacefully.
**[12:10] Fox**
Mr. Kozenigata, I'm tired of hearing those same words for ten years.
**[12:16] Fox**
You're a persistent man.
**[12:18] Fox**
No matter how many times I give you the slip, you always show up again.
**[12:20] Fox**
No matter how many times I knock you down, you crawl back up again.
**[12:23] Fox**
Why don't you give up already?
**[12:27] Kozenigata**
Because I'm hard-boiled.
**[12:31] Kozenigata**
A hard-boiled egg doesn't crack easily.
**[12:34] ---**
And besides, I hate thieves.
**[12:38] Kozenigata**
When I was kid, thieves killed my entire family.
**[12:43] Kozenigata**
Evil thieves like you who wanted to get the job done fast.
**[12:47] Kozenigata**
I couldn't forgive people like that, so I took this job.
**[12:50] ---**
But then I met an odd thief.
**[12:54] Kozenigata**
He targeted only villains who took money from the weak.
**[12:57] Kozenigata**
He never spilled any blood and never used the money he stole for his own gain.
**[13:02] Kozenigata**
He gave every bit of it away.
**[13:04] Kozenigata**
He broke the law, but always had his own way of doing things.
**[13:09] Kozenigata**
Chogoro the Foxfire, the chivalrous thief.
**[13:12] Kozenigata**
Back then, I was at the very bottom. I don't know how many times he frustrated me to tears.
**[13:17] Kozenigata**
But as I pursued him time after time, I began to feel something other than hatred for him.
**[13:24] Kozenigata**
What I was constantly pursuing wasn't just the thief in you.
**[13:30] Kozenigata**
Fox...why'd you sink so low? Back then, you weren't...
**[13:35] Fox**
Stop right there, Mister.
**[13:37] Fox**
An officer shouldn't say such things to a thief.
**[13:40] Fox**
And besides...never tell a thief he's "sunk low."
**[13:44] Fox**
Thieves like me were low to begin with.
**[13:48] Kozenigata**
Fox...you...
**[13:50] Fox Imposter 1**
Exactly.
**[13:54] Fox Imposter 1**
No matter how much people make a fuss about being a chivalrous thief,
**[13:56] Fox Imposter 1**
it doesn't change that fact that you're robbing and stealing.
**[14:01] Fox Imposter 2**
No killing, no raping, no stealing from the poor?
**[14:06] Fox Imposter 3**
A thief is a thief no matter how you try to sugarcoat it.
**[14:11] Gintoki**
They're...
**[14:13] Shinpachi**
Eight...Foxes?
**[14:15] Gintoki**
No...
**[14:16] Gintoki**
If you include that one, there are nine. What the hell's going on here?
**[14:19] Fox Imposter 1**
So it was your doing, after all, Chogoro.
**[14:22] ---**
Those advance warnings of crimes that we never recalled sending...we took them as invitations to us.
**[14:29] Fox**
No, no... I retried from that line of work and was enjoying retired life.
**[14:36] Fox**
But then recently, crimes one after another popped up that I had no recollection of committing.
**[14:40] ---**
It bothered me so much I couldn't sleep, so I woke up.
**[14:44] Kozenigata**
Fox, are you suggesting the recent heinous robberies that have caused a stir on the streets
**[14:48] Kozenigata**
weren't your doing, but rather...the work of these imposters?!
**[14:52] Fox Imposter 2**
Unfortunately, we aren't imposters.
**[14:55] Fox Imposter 1**
We are all successors of the name and skills of "Fox."
**[14:58] Fox Imposter 3**
We are the Nine-Tails Gang of Thieves.
**[15:02] Fox Imposter 1**
Once upon a time, during the period of warring states,
**[15:04] Fox Imposter 1**
we were agents sent into enemy domains.
**[15:06] Fox Imposter 1**
We were a group of professionals in the art of thievery, with origins dating back to the ninja.
**[15:10] Fox Imposter 1**
We slash in the darkness of night, bringing chaos to the world.
**[15:15] Gintoki**
So you come from the same roots as the ninja. Nasty...
**[15:19] Gintoki**
In other words, you're the strongest, dumbest thieves around.
**[15:23] Fox Imposter 1**
Chogoro, old comrade. We finally meet again.
**[15:26] Fox Imposter 1**
It's been 30 years since you disappeared in Kyoto.
**[15:30] Fox Imposter 3**
I never imagined people would be calling you a chivalrous thief.
**[15:34] Fox Imposter 2**
You couldn't even kill a child and ran away. My how big you've become.
**[15:40] Fox Imposter 1**
We figured if we destroyed the false image you'd built up in Edo, you'd come running.
**[15:46] Fox Imposter 1**
We'll make you pay the price for your betrayal 30 years ago.
**[15:51] Fox**
Betrayal? I don't know anything about that. That's crap.
**[15:54] ---**
I never once thought of you as my comrades.
**[15:58] Fox Imposter 1**
Shut up, traitor!
**[16:01] Fox**
Gentlemen!
**[16:03] Fox**
The stairs! Hurry!
**[16:13] Gintoki**
Gas!
**[16:14] Fox**
A trap set to protect the Golden Fried Tofu!
**[16:16] Fox**
This way, everyone! Hurry! Hurry before the next trap engages!
**[16:22] Gintoki**
The stairs turned flat!
**[16:26] ---**
Oil!
**[16:27] Shinpachi**
I'm slipping!
**[16:29] Shinpachi**
If we fall covered with this much oil, we'll be burned in an instant!
**[16:31] Gintoki**
It's hot...hot... Or should I say painful!
**[16:35] Gintoki**
What? Survivors!
**[16:37] Gintoki**
Shinpachi! Kagura! Go!
**[16:39] Gintoki**
What's the matter with you?!
**[16:44] Kagura**
Got two of them!
**[16:45] Shinpachi**
Just like you planned!
**[16:46] Gintoki**
Perfect. Per-
**[16:48] Gintoki**
Uh-oh! Two. Behind you! Look out!
**[16:51] Shinpachi**
Run!
**[16:52] Gintoki**
Don't worry about anything else-just ram them! Ram them!
**[16:55] Gintoki**
Don't worry! I'll catch you!
**[16:57] ---**
Try to take them with you if you can!
**[17:00] Haji**
Are you sure? Absolutely? Make absolutely sure you'll catch me!
**[17:03] Gintoki**
You'll be fine! Hurry!
**[17:05] Haji**
Okay! Here goes!
**[17:09] Gintoki**
What was that?!
**[17:10] Gintoki**
What good's it do to ram us?!
**[17:12] Shinpachi**
Gin-san! Haji-san! I'm falling! Kozenigata-san!
**[17:15] Kozenigata**
My comrades!
**[17:17] Kozenigata**
But the bad guys are near.
**[17:19] ---**
What the heck! Don't waver! My comrades come first!
**[17:21] Kozenigata**
Coin Toss!
**[17:23] Shinpachi**
Why?!
**[17:25] Shinpachi**
Why'd you ram into your comrades?!
**[17:27] Shinpachi**
What kind of decision is that?!
**[17:28] Kozenigata**
Well...because I was scared.
**[17:30] Shinpachi**
You ran away?!
**[17:31] Shinpachi**
I can't keep this up! It's no use...I'm...
**[17:37] Shinpachi**
Fox-san!
**[17:42] Fox**
Grab my hand, quickly!
**[17:44] Shinpachi**
O-Okay!
**[17:53] Shinpachi**
Fox-san!!
**[17:57] Kozenigata**
Fox!
**[18:00] Fox Imposter 4**
Did you forget the Nine-Tails were comprised of nine men?
**[18:05] Fox Imposter 4**
Did you think we wouldn't have filled your spot after you left?
**[18:07] Fox Imposter 4**
Sorry to inform you, but I've been following you; looking for an opening for quite some time.
**[18:12] Fox Imposter 4**
I've been looking forward to the moment when I would thrust this blade into you.
**[18:17] Fox Imposter 4**
That memory is still etched in my mind.
**[18:20] Fox Imposter 4**
I watched from behind as you took the child and a box of 1000 gold coins
**[18:23] Fox Imposter 4**
from the mansion we broke into,
**[18:25] Fox Imposter 4**
set fire to mansion while the others were still inside, and then ran off.
**[18:30] Young Kozenigata**
Mother! Father!
**[18:35] Fox**
Listen to me. Don't let go of this box of 1000 gold coins, no matter what happens.
**[18:39] Fox**
As long as you have this, no one-not your relatives nor strangers-can do anything bad to you.
**[18:45] Fox**
But you mustn't use the money all at once. Spend it a little bit at a time as small change.
**[18:51] Fox**
Understand?
**[18:53] Fox**
Don't give up. A man must be strong.
**[18:56] ---**
Live your life hard-boiled.
**[18:58] Fox Imposter 4**
Farewell.
**[19:00] ---**
What the?!
**[19:11] Kozenigata**
Fox!
**[19:12] Shinpachi**
Fox-san!
**[19:13] Fox**
Forgive me...Mister...for not telling you until now.
**[19:20] Kozenigata**
That wasn't very nice.
**[19:22] ---**
So I've been pursuing the man to whom I owe my life?
**[19:26] Fox**
Yeah...
**[19:27] ---**
Your pursuit didn't bother me in the least.
**[19:30] ---**
You'd always miss catching me in the end.
**[19:32] Fox**
Complaining to your foe every day.
**[19:35] Fox**
Doesn't that make you a failure as an officer?
**[19:39] Kozenigata**
I see... No wonder I could never capture you.
**[19:44] Kozenigata**
You were...always watching over me.
**[19:48] Fox**
Boss...You were never able to apprehend me in the end.
**[19:54] Fox**
It was a total victory for me.
**[19:56] Kozenigata**
No, I won. I can bring you back alive.
**[20:00] Kozenigata**
Before you go to jail, you'll have to join me for some Camus.
**[20:06] Fox**
Not Camus.
**[20:08] Fox**
Shochu.
**[20:18] Kozenigata (M)**
Later, not one fox's body was found in the aftermath of the fire.
**[20:24] Kozenigata (M)**
Were they burned to ashes, or were none of them dead?
**[20:28] Kozenigata (M)**
They were, after all, the elusive Foxes.
**[20:33] ---**
There was no way to know if he was alive or dead.
**[20:36] Kozenigata (M)**
However, I did know one thing...
**[20:41] Gintoki**
One more place...
**[20:42] Kozenigata**
I don't feel so good.
**[20:45] Kozenigata (M)**
On these hard-boiled nights, I thirst for a drink.
**[20:49] Kozenigata (M)**
There are wounds that a man can only heal with liquor...
**[20:52] Kozenigata**
Huh? Was there a bar here before?
**[20:55] Gintoki**
It's not a bar. You've really lost it...
**[20:58] Old Man**
Welcome.
**[21:01] Kozenigata**
Master... Camus, on the rocks.
**[21:04] Old Man**
Here you go. Shochu.
**[21:06] Kozenigata**
Not shochu. Call it Camus, Master.
**[21:09] Old Man**
Don't call me master. You can just call me Pops, sir.
**[21:12] Gintoki**
Huh? That's...
**[21:20] Kozenigata (M)**
That's right, I'm...the hard-boiled detective, Heiji Kozenigata.
**[23:27] Hijikata**
Wh-Who are you...?
**[23:38] Okita**
Hijikata's corpse makes 4016 bodies.
**[23:41] Okita**
Hijikata the fool's corpse makes 4017 bodies.
**[23:46] Okita**
Hijikata the dummy's body makes 4018 bodies.
**[23:48] Okita**
Hijikata the moron's body makes 4019 bodies.
**[23:52] Okita**
Hijikata the bastard's body makes 4020 bodies.
**[23:57] Okita**
Hijikata the pile of shit's body makes...
**[24:00] Hijikata**
Count sheep!
**[24:03] Okita**
Huh? Morning already? I couldn't sleep at all, dammit.
**[24:06] Hijikata**
Of course you can't sleep counting grotesque things like that!
**[24:10] Okita**
Thank you. Did you come just to wake me up, body number 4021?
**[24:14] Hijikata**
Who're you calling body 4021?!
**[24:18] Hijikata**
Go wash your face and change right away.
**[24:22] Hijikata**
There's someone to see you.
