Chapter 35 - An Oswald Dose of Joy

06)
1: Dummies...
2: Is that what the bat told you?
3: Kevin Yamagata...
4: Do you remember me?
5: Smith...
6: That's all I know about you...
7: I was doing an internal inspection in the department you belonged to.
8: My department and another were planning something big together.
9: Something big...?

07)
1: Yeah...something suspicious, one might say.
2: Hoo...
3: Your name is just Smith...and you belong to a department that is planning something
suspicious...
4: Your story is full of blanks and impossible to understand.
5: A story that crazy has got to be about the Soviets' plotting!
6: Am I wrong? Spies are gonna come in here any minute, right?
7: Yes, you're right.
8: First comes spy investigation.
9: I've searched out citizens with connections to the Soviets one by one.

08)
1: In the end, there was only one man left that was not undergoing surveillance.
2: I tracked that man,
3: and...
4: And...and then what?
5: You ever heard of Deja Vu?
6: Yeah, it's when you feel whatever you're experiencing already happened once before...
7: Do you remember the other man that was there when I interrogated you in Japan?

09)
1: Y...yeah, I think his name was Finney or something...
2: Yes, that Finney...
3: is searching for the same man I am tracking.
4: And so, as I was about to embark, I spotted this at a newsstand...
5: your newest work.

10)
1: It's comic filled with bizarre contents.
2: Why would an artist create a story like this, out of all things...?
3: And not only that, but choose a character that's already well-known...
4: Billy Bat -- and make him the main character...
5: It's exactly like what that Japanese artist Zofuu did..
6: N...no, that's...
7: Yes, it's exactly the same.

11)
1: The same as when the Shimoyama Incident occurred in Japan...!!
2: Yes...
3: You're right...
4: It's similar...
5: Exactly so...

12)
1: Like a continuation...
2: That's why...
3: That's why I hate this...
4: Zofuu-sensei drew it...
5: But I...
6: I'm afraid to draw...
7: It's...
8: coming...
9: I don't want to know...

13)
1: It's coming to me...
2: It...?


14)
1: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!
2: What's wrong? Get a hold of yourself!!
3: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!

2: Be careful.
3: Umm...Oswald...
4: Hm? What is it?
5: Did you...
6: get into a fight again?
7: Eh? What are you talking about?
8: Ah...I knew it, it must have been someone else.

16)
1: What? What's this about?
2: A friend I made from the WRFS, Anna, gave me a call...
3: and said you got into a fight with an auto dealer on Kings Road,
4: and it caused a big uproar...
5: Me...?
6: I've never even been to any auto dealer on Kings Road.
7: I know...
8: I'm serious, it's gotta be someone else.
9: Yeah, you're right...
10: See you later.
11: Uh-huh...

17)
1: pssh
2: gulp gulp
3: Ah...
4: Are you the new guy, Oswald?
5: Ah! Mr. Reynolds!

18)
1: That was a lousy thing for you to do, y'know.
2: What was?
3: We're connected to the National Military Establishment, y'know, so there's things you
can do and there're things you just can't.
4: Huh...?
5: I saw ya, pal.
6: But I won't tell the guys upstairs, so just don't do it again.
7: What are you talking about?
8: Enough with the funny business, pal!
9: I was in New Orleans on a business trip yesterday.
10: New Orleans...
11: I saw you handing out those Castro support fliers on the street!

19)
1: What are you talking about? I was here in Dallas yesterday...I came to work like usual!
2: Oh really?
3: Really!!
4: I was told to make it so I could draw a map of Dallas in my head,
5: so I spent a lot of time outside, but...
6: Please, look at my time card! If I had gone to New Orleans my time card wouldn't have
been punched!!
7: Well in that case...
8: do you have a twin...?

20)
1: This is Main Street...
2: and that's Elm Street.
3: And that place is...
4: The Texas School Book Depository...

2: Your change.
3: Huh?
4: This is too much for a tip. You forget your change?
5: What are you talking about...?
6: You were staring out at Elm Street from inside that cafe, right?

22)
1: Here's your change.
2: Ah...no, w...wait a minute!!
3: Th...this isn't mine.
4: So I can't accept it.
5: Really, I've never even been inside that cafe.
6: You know about doppelgangers?

23)
1: Doppel...
2: Ganger...
3: A phenomenon where the same person appears twice in different places at the same time.
4: That musta been it.
5: N...no, it can't be...
6: And do you know what kinda people that happens to?
