Husband: Where's my hat?!

Wife: I don't know.
	You probably put it somewhere.

Husband: Hey...
	You're not checking those lottery numbers again, are you?

Chapter 146 : The Vampire's House

Husband: Aren't you going to see your husband off on his day of sweating and back-breaking to keep our family supported?!

Wife: You act as if you make any money to begin with...

Husband: And who is it who's wasting that little money I make on lottery tickets?!

Wife: Life is gonna be terrible unless we win the jackpot.
	If you've got a problem with it, make more money!!

Wim: Give it back!!
	Where did you put my bike?!
	GIVE IT BACK!!

Kids: Shut up!!
	We didn't see no bikes.
	We just threw away some junk.

Wim: Threw away...?

Kids: Yeah, we left it at the vampire's house on the west hill.
	Heeheehee!!

Wim: Vampire...?

Kids: You have to go get it by yourself.
	But watch out.

 - Page 101 -

Kids: You might get your blood sucked!!
	Heeheehee!!

Wim: Whoa!!

Door: (bam)

Door: (knock knock)

Wife: H...  Honey...

Husband: Nobody came, right?

Wife: N-no...

Door: (click)

Husband: Put the chain on.
	Hey...

Wife: Yes?

Husband: It's not...  the wrong number, is it?

Wife: No, Dear, I checked it a hundred times...
	We really did win...

 - Page 103 -

Husband: Whew...
	20 million marks...

Wife: W...  what should we do...?

Husband: I drove to the next town over...

Wife: W-what for?
	H...  Honey, you didn't...!

 - Page 104 -

Husband: Just in case.

Wife: Just in case...?

Husband: We can't just carry that kind of money around.
	But we won't need these things if nobody finds out about it.
	What's wrong?
	Nobody knows you won the lottery, right?

Wife: W...  well...

Husband: What?  What happened?

Wife: When I was buying the ticket...

<<Wife: The usual.

<<Clerk: Sure thing.

<<Konrad: It's hard to win, Mrs. Hennig.

<<Wife: Good day, Konrad.

<<Konrad: I hear your husband doesn't approve your lottery habits...

<<Wife: Hmph.

<<Konrad: Feel free to use my birthdate.
	March 2nd, 1945.
	It works pretty well.
	I've won big twice, using it at the races.
	They also worked well for guessing answers on tests...  good numbers.
	I rarely ever do any gambling though...  go ahead and use them.

<<Wife: Well, if it makes you happy.

<<Wife: (scribble)

Husband: Y...
	You mean...
	You just used Konrad's birthdate...?

Wife: He could have seen the numbers in the paper...

Husband: But...  he doesn't know that you actually used them, does he?

Wife: I don't know!!
	Could be the whole town is talking about it already...

Husband: Oh...  maybe you're right...!!

Wife: W...  why?!

 - Page 107 -

Husband: When I was coming home, I stopped at the store for some cigarettes...
	And that girl from the deli...
	was starin' at me funny...

Wife: Aaahh...!!
	I knew it...  me too...

Husband: W...  what?

Wife: When I just went to take out the trash...

 - Page 108 -

Wife: What should we do?!

Husband: Settle down!!

Wife: If that drunk knows we're getting a ton of money, who knows what he'll do...?!

Husband: I said SETTLE DOWN!!

Wife: AAAAAH!!

Husband: Look, right now, we've got to watch out for ourselves!!

Wim: {Someone's here...!!}

 - Page 112 -

Voices: (gsh) From looking at this...
	(gsh) It seems like he hasn't been coming here lately.
	They're all unfinished... (gsh)
	So, did he stop drawing...? (gsh)
	Or could he not continue drawing...?  (gsh)

Wim: WAAAH!!

Grimmer: Oh, hello, Wim.

Wim: (hahh)(hahh)(hahh)
	Mr. Neumayer...
	Mr. Lunge...

Grimmer: What are you doing here?

Wim: M...  my bike...
	Some...  friends took my bike...
	And left it here...

Grimmer: Aha, your friends played a trick on you.
	I saw a bike in the thicket near the entrance to the path.

 - Page 114 -

Wim: Oh...  ohhhhh...

Lunge: The cat seems to have been shot with a submachine gun.

Grimmer: So, they're already...

Lunge: Yes...
	They're already nearby...

Lunge: Look.  (shunk)

Grimmer: Twins...

Lunge: Yes...
	And here...

	And here...  (shunk)

Lunge: And here...
	And here...
	And here...
	About 10 years old...
	When I was in charge of Tenma's case, they were about 10 years old...
	These all seem to be the same age range.
	Here..
	Here, too...

Grimmer: How many times did he draw the same thing...?

Lunge: No matter how times he did it...

 - Page 117 -

Lunge: He wasn't satisfied...

Konrad: (schrak)
	Sheesh...
	Lots of vines, this year.
	(schff)

Konrad: Better look out for the slime mold, too.  (pull)

Man: (tmp)

Konrad: Hmm?
	Well, that's an unfamiliar face.
