Monster Volume 1 : Herr Doktor Tenma Chapter 7 "Monster" - Page 165 - Lunge: I know you're able to speak now. Chapter 7 : "Monster" Lunge: Four middle aged couples murdered in the past two years... And at three of the murders, you were witnessed nearby. - Page 166 - Lunge: Why is that, Adolf Junkers? Hmph, very well. I already know that you're an excellent lock-picker. You job is only to open the doors. You're completely incapable... of slicing through a neck in one clean stroke. - Page 167 - Lunge: Therefore, there must have been multiple people working together. The way I see it, there would have been three, at the very least. That's what it would take to break the difficult locks, sneak up on the couples without drawing resistance, and slaughter them. We've already got a line-up of men that could have been knife-wielders. It's only a matter of time until we squeeze out your partners. Whether you speak or not. But that isn't what I really want to ask. I want to know why these four cases happened all over Germany... And why it was only childless middle-aged couples who were killed. You can't tell me it was simple robbery. - Page 168 - Lunge: The valuables that were taken were of such little worth--especially when split up between partners--that it wouldn't be worth the effort. Well? How about we make a deal? If you give us testimony, we'll drop the charges. Who hired you to do these jobs? Junkers: A... - Page 169 - Junkers: AH... AH... AAAAAAAAAAHH!! Tenma: It's all right, Mr. Junkers! It's okay!! Junkers: AAAAHH!! Tenma: This questioning is over now!! Lunge: No, I need some answers. - Page 170 - Tenma: I want you out now!! This is an order!! Lunge: Very well. I'll leave off here, for today. But I'd like him to be watched very carefully, so he doesn't disappear or die of poisoning. Tenma: Wha... Lunge: Strange occurances seem to pop up around you all the time, Dr. Tenma. Tenma: What are you trying to say?! Lunge: It was a joke. Pardon me. - Page 171 - Junkers: Ah... ah... Door: (creak) Guard: Hey!! Where are you going?! Tenma: On a walk. Guard: I can't just have you doing these things whenever you please!! Tenma: Fresh air is a part of rehabilitation. I'm only going out to the lawn. If you're worried, why don't you come, too? - Page 172 - Girl: (hee hee!) Tenma: It's such a nice warm day today. You can talk now, right? Days like this make me glad to be alive. - Page 173 - Tenma: You just snap if you don't take the time to do this every now and then. Especially when you deal with life and death on a daily basis... That's why it's easier for doctors to only think about career, or money, or research. I used to be that way, too... I wanted to get a nice position, and do my own research... Doing surgery was only a means to acquire that dream... But I was changed, because of an operation on one little boy. He and his little sister were twins. His name was Johan. He was shot in the head, and because I saved him, I was able to reaffirm my duty as a doctor. - Page 174 - Tenma: Everyone's life has equal weight. And a doctor's job... is to save those lives. People can change for the better. It's not too late... Junkers: Doctor... We're not so far apart in age, but... You're like my dad. - Page 175 - Junkers: You saved my life. Makes me feel like you're my dad... Tenma: Well, I've just gained quite a large son. Junkers: I... Kid: (hee hee) Junkers: I always wanted this clock, when I was a kid... You know... the kind where it strikes the right time and the nutcracker comes popping out... I wanted one so much, that I stuck my head up against the window of the clock shop everyday... That store was the first one I ever broke into. - Page 176 - Junkers: I got caught right away, so I didn't get the clock... But ever since then, picking locks was my job. And all because I only wanted a clock... It was all I wanted, but I still... Tenma: You'll tell them everything. You tell the police everything, then you start over. - Page 177 - Junkers: They were killed... All my partners were killed... Tenma: By whom? By that... ..."monster" you were speaking of? - Page 178 - Becker: You gotta hit it off this time!! I set it up perfectly and everything!! She's the daughter of a state legislator. She's got the brains AND the body, if you know what I mean! Tenma: Hahaha... I won't know until I meet her. But... I think you're right. It's time for me to settle down... - Page 179 - Becker: Ain't that right? Yup, exactly right. A guy in your position can't stay single forever... Ah... hey!! Clock: (cuckoo)(cuckoo) <
