It's not supposed to be accurate. The artist views reality through imagination rather than simply recording it. It is called impressionism.
Monique It's not supposed to be accurate. The artist views reality through imagination rather than simply recording it. It is called impressionism.
Well, um, I'm not "impressed". Trees are not violet, grass is not charcoal, and a man cannot...
...fly.
Monique You feel something. You dream of flying. Or of naked men.
Sometimes.
Monique Ah.
Please keep that inconsiderate beast away from me! And refrain from ridiculous anecdotes.
Why do you not like his story, Mr. Frog?
It's Fogg. Phileas Fogg. How could a man learn to defend himself by watching animals behave like... animals?
Monique It is famous legend.
A ridiculous legend.
Monique Most legends are born from truth.
Yes. But all truths are born from facts. Solid, tangible facts that can be calculated and written down on paper.
Monique And then eaten by a goat. [all the children laugh]
Mr. Feelsillious, when I tell the story of the man who circled the entire world in 80 days, would that not be a legend?
Monique La Roche Phileas, women are not that weak.
No, but I am.
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?
Not China. Not yet.
Monique La Roche Don't let him go. He'll be lost by midnight. Go.
More of your relatives, I suppose?
Monique La Roche It is a lady. A French lady.
She looks like an evil Chinese warlord to me.
General Fang Your journey has caused quite a stir, Mr. Fogg. But I'm afraid it ends here.
Leave them alone, Fang. This has nothing to do with them.
General Fang 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.
Inspector Fix Out of me way! I used to be somebody important!
Should've thrown him through a higher window. [walks down to Fix and two more officers] Get rid of this buffoon!
Fix Buffoon, eh? Is that the thanks I get for GOING HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD TO STOP FOGG FOR YOU, EH?!!
Monique La Roche He also sent an evil Chinese warlord to kill Phileas Fogg!
Fix That's right! He did!
Yes?
TELL THEM!
Uh, well...the thing of it is–
You mumbling moron! Salisbury, please translate Kitchener's incoherent blather.
I...he...I... Yes, yes.
Rhodes!
Uh, the thing of it is, I don't want to make a fuss about it...
YOU SPINELESS CRETINS!!
That man stuck me with quills! BUNCHES OF THEM!!
YES! Lord Kelvin's a bully!
It's true! I hate to admit it, but I'm a battered Lord.
Oh, boo-hoo! So what if I did try to kill Phileas Fogg? What are you gutless peons going to do about it?! I hold all the power! I run everything! So which of you halfwits is going to stop me?! You?! You?! You?!
The Queen!
The Queen? [laughs] Oh, the Queen! That inbred, antiquated, old cow!
The only way she could stop me is if she sat on me! With her big, fat, royal bottom! [laughs again, then looks nervous] She's behind me, isn't she? [turns around and bows] Your Majesty, I have just apprehended the culprits who robbed the Bank of England.
Monique La Roche No, majesty, no!
Inspector Fix Rubbish!
Queen Victoria QUIET!
Queen Victoria I love being able to do that. So, Lord Kelvin: unsportsmanlike conduct, attempted murder...trading my arsenal for Buddhas.
How did you know about that?
Queen Victoria Admit it – you've been a very naughty boy, haven't you?
Your Majesty, I assure you there is an explanation for all of this. What it was...I was...I was simply...
Queen Victoria Why do they always run? Arrest him!
Get out of my way, you fools! UNHAND ME! DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I'll kill you!! I'LL HAVE YOU FOR THIS, FOGG!!!
[The wagon drives away]
Monique La Roche I'm sorry, Phileas.
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?
Queen Victoria I do! I've got 20 quid riding on you!
Your Majesty, it has gone 12 noon.
Queen Victoria Correct. Which gives you 24 hours remaining.
Monique La Roche Could we have miscounted?
No. I moved Mr. Fogg's watch ahead one hour as we passed each time zone.
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...
