Passepartout quotes from Around the World in 80 Days (2004)

Phileas Fogg

I risked everything, my entire life's work.

Passepartout

For something you believe in. Nothing could make more sense than that, sir.

Phileas Fogg

You're an honourable man, Passepartout, but I'm afraid this was a calamitous lapse of judgement.

Passepartout

Mr Fogg, maybe we should let your family--

Phileas Fogg

There really is no one left to tell. This house and my inventions are all I have.

Passepartout

And a brave new French valet that will help you make it around the world in 80 days.

Phileas Fogg

You really believe we can succeed?

Passepartout

Yes.

Phileas Fogg

Yes! YES... You're mad, we'll be sliced to pieces before we reach India.

Passepartout

Time to go. They seem to think we robbed the Bank of England.

Phileas

That's preposterous! This is merely a desperate attempt by Lord Kelvin to impede my journey! I am a British citizen, I have nothing to fear! [hears shots being fired] Except bullets.

Give me the Jade Buddha!

Passepartout

Okay, okay...What's Budd-air? [knocks the agent out]

Phileas

They'll check all trains heading east. Even if we could make it to the coast, we can't sail into Singapore or even Hong Kong, as they're both British colonies.

Monique

Does England own everything in Asia?

Passepartout

Not China. Not yet.

Phillias Fogg

What's he saying?

Passepartout

He's saying "please let me go, I'm bored".

Phillias Fogg

Why is he in prison?

Passepartout

Urinating in public.

Phillias Fogg

Charming. At least he had the decency to be forthcoming about it. Is there anything you've told me that's even remotely true?

Passepartout

I really can sing. [sings Frere Jacques]

Passepartout

That's a big man.

Monique La Roche

It is a lady. A French lady.

Phileas Fogg

She looks like an evil Chinese warlord to me.

Your journey has caused quite a stir, Mr. Fogg. But I'm afraid it ends here.

Passepartout

Leave them alone, Fang. This has nothing to do with them.

On the contrary, Lau Xing. Lord Kelvin and I have made new arrangements to conquer Lanzhou. Unfortunately for Mr. Fogg, they entail his... permanent detour.

Monique La Roche

I'm sorry, Phileas.

Phileas Fogg

Don't be, my cheri. I saw the world. I learnt of new cultures. I flew across an ocean. I wore women's clothing. [The crowd murmurs in amusement] Made a friend. [Passepartout smiles] Fell in love. [Monique smiles] Who cares if I lost a wager?

I do! I've got 20 quid riding on you!

Phileas Fogg

Your Majesty, it has gone 12 noon.

Correct. Which gives you 24 hours remaining.

Monique La Roche

Could we have miscounted?

Passepartout

No. I moved Mr. Fogg's watch ahead one hour as we passed each time zone.

Phileas Fogg

The international date line. We set our watches forward at 24 time zones, so... here, it's still day 79.

Monique La Roche

So we've...

Phileas Fogg

WE'VE WON!
