Monster Volume 17 : I'm Home Chapter the Hundred-and-Forty-Fourth Ruhenheim - Page 53 - Lunge: (shff) (thud) Chapter 144 : Ruhenheim - Page 54 - Lunge: Ruhenheim... - Page 55 - Lunge: This is it... Chapter 144 : Ruhenheim - Page 56 - Ludwig: (WOOF!)(WOOF WOOF!) Woman: Ludwig!! Ludwig: (WOOF WOOF) Woman: What ARE you barking at?! Ludwig: (GRRRRR) Man: And I told my wife, you ain't never gonna win no lottery. So what do you think she said? I already missed the jackpot when I picked a husband, so God owes me one. Change: (clink) - Page 57 - Bartender: Danke schoen. Door: (creak) Man: Haven't seen him around. Bartender: Yeah. Man: I didn't like the look in his eyes. Bartender: Gave me the chills, when he ordered. Man: Nobody would come out here for sightseeing. Bartender: Right... Man: Suppose he's on the run? Got himself into a bit of trouble? I mean, when you get a guy with a glare like that... Bartender: Ah... Door: (creak) Man: Uh... Lunge: (clunk) (clunk) Bartender: Did, uh... you forget something...? - Page 58 - Lunge: I'd like directions to the Hotel Versteck. Owner: Is that bike broken again...? Wim: Yeah. The chain keeps coming off. I should have figured it was in the dump for a reason. - Page 59 - Owner: It doesn't look like trash to me. Wim: When I ride it, everyone says, "Look, look at the trash..." "There's trash riding on a trash heap..." Owner: That's not true. It's a wonderful 5-speed supercycle. C'mon, why don't we try to fix it up one more time? Wim: Ah... - Page 60 - Wim: It's a customer. Owner: Yes... I had a call. Reservations...? Lunge: Yes, under "Lunge." Owner: Please, make yourself at home, Mr. Lunge. - Page 61 - Lunge: I'm glad I could get a room on such short notice. Owner: The rooms are always empty... Lunge: It must be the off-season. Owner: Seems like that year-round. The only other people staying here are that elderly couple. His legs are bad, which makes traveling rather difficult. - Page 62 - Wim: I'll take your bag. Owner: Thank you, Wim. Room 302. Lunge: How is the view...? Owner: The best in the building... Wim: I'll put it right here. Lunge: It didn't look like trash to me, either. Wim: Huh? - Page 63 - Lunge: It looked like an excellent bike to me. Man: Looking for something? - Page 64 - Lunge: Hmm... You have many books in Czech. Man: Yeah. We had a lot of Czechs settling in the area after WWII. I bought the books off 'em, but they're never gonna sell. Lunge: Storybooks? Man: Huh? Lunge: Any storybooks in Czech? Man: Hmm, storybooks... Mmmm no... - Page 65 - Man: Here, what do you think about all of this? It's rather disagreeable. You know those murders happening all over Germany. When they do searches into the victims' lives, bits of evidence from past serial murders turn up... Which means those serial murderers... Are being killed off one by one. When the killer dies, that's the end of it. No trial, no explanations. Why would anyone do something like that? What do you... Huh? - Page 66 - Officer: Inspector Lunge, from the BKA...? (BKA: German FBI) What's a BKA inspector doing out in the sticks...? Lunge: Actually... I was wondering how much backup you could request in a place like this. Officer: Backup...? Request...? Lunge: As in, how many officers can you call up in how much time, in the case of an emergency. - Page 67 - Officer: If we contact the state headquarters, we can get reinforcements in as little as an hour. But I can't imagine anything drastic happening in a lazy town like this one. Lunge: Any hotels in town besides the Versteck? Officer: Yes, there's one more. The Bergbach Hotel... Lunge: You should probably start checking everyone who comes into town from now on. Officer: Pardon? Lunge: Before anything terrible happens... - Page 68 - Wim: Yahoo!! This is great!! It's zippin' along!! Accelerate!! Gear change... Bike: (click) (gacha gacha) Wim: Awawawa!! Bike: (screech) Wim: Aaaah!! Ouch... Kids: The trash is out riding again. - Page 69 - Kid: Look at this stupid garbage!! Wim: S... stop... STOP IT!! Kids: Junk should stay in the junkyard where it belongs. Stupid junk-boy! Hahahaha! Wim: Ng... Grimmer: Are you okay? - Page 70 - Woman: By yourself? Are you traveling by yourself? Lunge: Yes. Woman: For work...? Lunge: No, private business. Woman: Aren't you lonely by yourself? - Page 71 - Lunge: I'm used to it. Woman: And your family...? Lunge: At home. My daughter has a son. Man: A grandson, eh? Grandchildren are great. We don't get along with our children, but grandchildren are another story. They just love us. Look! I was just writing a postcard to them. - Page 72 - Owner: Letters are nice. You can say things in a letter that you can't say in person. Why don't you try writing one, too...? Lunge: A letter... to my grandson... But what to write... Owner: Anything will do. Lunge: Well then... - Page 73 - Lunge: I'll draw a picture... Grimmer: Ahem... excuse me. Might I be able to stay the night? Owner: Yes, of course. Grimmer: Aha, wonderful. I was simply out enjoying a picnic by myself... - Page 74 - Grimmer: But I got lost on the way and it took me all this time just to find signs of civilization... I really appreciate it. - Chapter 144 Owari -
