Film Transcript
Which one? This case about a T‑Rex. So bizarre. And I can't really do this without you. Don't worry, we can do it. I'll look for clues. I am one of the most observant people in this state, and you are the greatest detective in the state. What can you tell me about this dinosaur?
They've been terrorising everyone. He even ate my grandpa. They can't even walk yet. It's like, what are you going to do about it? It's getting out of hand already.
Do you know anything about the case of the missing dinosaur? No. Oh my car and dead. Oh no. Did you like your car? Yes. My baby. Oh, my baby. No. My time. Boom. My baby.
Enter. Can I have some drink? No. Oh, it's part of the job though. What is it that you want, me lad? Morning, Mr. Invictable Phantom is what they call me. Right. There's been some issues with the case. Well, it's been a case of — we've seen some footprints. What kind of footprints are we talking? T‑Rex footprints.
I told him to not go out and test his devil fruit power, but he's not listening to me. You know who it is. I very well know exactly who you are looking for. You're looking for one of my crew mates who disobeyed my direct order. I told him not to test that devil fruit power, but did he listen? No. Well, I think he's here.
I knew it was you this whole time. No need to panic. Oh, Nana. All the treasure, you say. Well, I guess that's a part — a part of becoming a pirate. Well, I guess it's time for you to get your own ship. Thank you. Oh my god. Yes. We're going to be two unstoppable pirates. Milite. Yes. Hello. Looks like you sold another case, detective. Do you think they tell him every step again? Get your pirates lodge. Not a chance. Going to have to change dates, change my name. Fair enough.
And so, the case of the terrible T‑Rex wasn't a very satisfying case, but they all aren't.
