I'll save our place in line.

The strangest thing happened today.
What?
We were standing in the checkout line at the book store and suddenly Dad took off to our car.
Oh?
What's even stranger is that there was a man standing in line who could've been Dad's twin.
Who do you suppose it was?
I don't know, but I'm going to find out!
He could be your Dad's doppelganger.
(doppelganger = ドッペルゲンガー、本人の分身、生き霊 A spirit that looks exactly like a living person, or someone who looks exactly like someone else but who is not related to that person)
英語では、doppel の部分をdouble 「ダブル」と発音することがある
doppel （ドイツ語） = double （英語） ともに 「二重」「生き写し、コピー」という意味
Don't go there. No paranormal stuff, please.
But who knows? I could be the doppelganger of mine.
Are you?
Could be.

No.
I'm baffled.
（baffle = 当惑する、途方に暮れる puzzle, confuse）
Well, I don't know, you don't know, we don't know, but ...
But, we are going to find out!
Maybe tomorrow.

I've been researching my family history.
Did you find any skeletons in the closet?
(a skeleton in the closet = a secret that would cause embarrassment if it were known)
Yes. And here's the biggest one. Take a look at this.
Henry Jones... He lives on Count Street, our street. Any relation?
He's Dad's long lost brother, who suddenly moved away from Transylvania in his 20s and changed his last name to Jones.
(Transylvania = トランシルヴァニアは、ルーマニア中部・北西部の歴史的地名。アイルランドの作家ブラム・ストーカーの 『吸血鬼ドラキュラ』 に登場するドラキュラ城がある場所)
From what?
From Dracula.
And he's back?
Looks that way. Do you think I should talk to Dad about this?
Ugh... That might be opening a can of worms.
(open a can of worms = a situation that causes a lot of problems for you when you start to deal with it)
Right.
Wait. Does this mean that I married .....
Dracula's daughter!

It's time for me to go back to my village. I don't want to overstay my welcome.
Stay a little longer. Princess Oto is planning a family get-together for you.
Oh?
Oh, Dad, that was a secret. Taro, I invited your mother and father over.
Great! How are they?
They are well ... for their ages.
What do you mean? They're in their 40s.
No, Taro. They're in their 90s.
What? I've been here only for a day!
Oh, Taro, time goes so slower on the ocean floor. Up on land, 50 years have flown by.
What? I don't understand!
This discussion is closed!
Fine. Have it your way.
