Monster Volume 17 : I'm Home Chapter the Hundred-and-Forty-Seventh A Paranoid Town - Page 119 - Old Man: This jam... is delicious! Owner: It's our local homemade lingonberry jam. Old Woman: Ooh, homemade. Chapter 147 : A Paranoid Town Owner: I'm told to show this to any visitors who enjoy the jam. - Page 120 - Owner: This is the jam-maker. Old Woman: I see, so it's his jam... Owner: His name is Konrad. There are many lingonberries growing on the hill to the south, you see... Eventually the whole area simply belonged to him. Old Man: And his jam was so delicious, no one found a reason to complain. Owner: Yes, he is an enjoyable man to be around... One of the few people I can call a friend. His interests as he grows older are making his jam and playing chess with me... And he's always thinking of jokes... It was his idea to show everyone this photograph... - Page 121 - Owner: Apparently it's a marketing strategy to familiarize you with Konrad, the true homemade lingonberry jam maker... ...so that you'll buy some from him in the future. Old Man: Hahaha. Owner: This is the last I have of last year's crop. I'm sure this year's jam will be just as good. Old Man: Well, we'll have to come back for the jam, dear. Old Woman: Oh yes. Owner: I'm sure he'll be very happy to hear that. - Page 122 - Chapter 147 : A Paranoid Town - Page 123 - Grimmer: Are they really going to invade... this peaceful little town...? Lunge: Invade...? There are other methods besides that... There are cases when a single gun has destroyed a town. Grimmer: Yes, I've heard of that. It was in Niedersachsen, in the 50's... Lunge: 1957, Zweifelstadt. (tap tap tap) A series of murders in the state of Niedersachsen... - Page 124 - Lunge: When they all began to suspect their neighbors of being the killer... The townsfolk were set on edge, even when nothing was happening... They entered a state of group hysteria... (tap tap) One of them, a man named Volk Rogner, shot his neighbor with a gun he purchased for self-protection... Nobody could stop it, after that... A fire was lit in the town, and everything at hand was used as a weapon... The townspeople massacred each other. Not one survived... - Page 125 - Grimmer: And that's going to happen here, too... Because of one man... We have to stop it... before it begins... Lunge: No... It might have already started... - Page 126 - Kids: C'mon, give us your money!! We know you've got some! Out with it!! Wim: N... no, that's money for...!! Kids: It's liquor money for your drunk dad, right? Drinking too much is bad for your health!! We're doing him a favor!! Wim: (hahh)(hahh) Kids: Heeheehee!! - Page 127 - Man: Little boy... Don't you hate them...? (gsh) Hate them enough to kill them...? (gsh) Wife: Where are you going, dear?! Husband: I'm going to have a talk with Konrad!! (hahh)(hahh)(hahh) Wife: Talk about WHAT...?! - Page 128 - Husband: Didn't you notice that Ralph and all the other customers at that cafe were glaring at us? Wife: It must have been because they never see the both of us out together. Husband: No... who knows what they all might do if they found out we won the lottery and made 20 million marks. Wife: B... but...!! Husband: That's why I want to have this topic settled, rather than continue this paranoia!! Wife: Okay, so let's say that Konrad does know that we won the lottery... What are you going to do about it?! Husband: I'll pay him the money he wants. And that'll shut him up. Wife: What if Konrad becomes greedy... and keeps demanding money from us later...? - Page 129 - Husband: If that happens... Wife: What will you do, then? Husband: I... I don't know!! Isn't this the place where he picks all his lingonberries? Wife: Dear... Husband: Hmm? Wife: Konrad isn't that bad of a person. Husband: N... no... Wife: He just makes his jam, and tells his jokes... He's not the kind of person who would ruin our good fortune, now that we've finally gotten it. Right, dear...? - Page 130 - Wife: What is it? Gasp... Ah... Ah... Ah... You... You didn't... Husband: It... it wasn't me... Wife: Oh my God... this is too much... - Page 131 - Husband: I told you, it wasn't me!! Wife: Then who would have done it?! Husband: I don't know!! I just BOUGHT this gun, I haven't shot it ONCE!! Wife: Eek...!! Husband: It wasn't me!! It wasn't... Wife: Aaah... Aaah... AAAAAHH!!
