A scene from Around the World in 80 Days 2004
Inspector Fix

Out of me way! I used to be somebody important!

Lord Kelvin

Should've thrown him through a higher window. [walks down to Fix and two more officers] Get rid of this buffoon!

Fix

[fed up]

Buffoon, eh? Is that the thanks I get for GOING HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD TO STOP FOGG FOR YOU, EH?!!

Monique La Roche

[everyone gasps after hearing this]

He also sent an evil Chinese warlord to kill Phileas Fogg!

Fix

That's right! He did!

Kelvin

[Everyone gasps again]

LIES! ALL OF IT!

Kelvin

[everyone scoffs at this]

Kitchener!

Kelvin

TELL THEM!

Kitchener

Uh, well...the thing of it is–

Kelvin

You mumbling moron! Salisbury, please translate Kitchener's incoherent blather.

Lord Salisbury

I...he...I... Yes, yes.

Kelvin

Rhodes!

Lord Rhodes

Uh, the thing of it is, I don't want to make a fuss about it...

Kelvin

YOU SPINELESS CRETINS!!

Kitchener

[Kightener, Salisbury and Rhodes are finally fed up with Kelvin's bullying nature] [steps forward]

That man stuck me with quills! BUNCHES OF THEM!!

Salisbury

YES! Lord Kelvin's a bully!

Rhodes

It's true! I hate to admit it, but I'm a battered Lord.

Kelvin

[Everyone gasps again] [scoffs]

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?!

Young girl

The Queen!

Kelvin

The Queen? [laughs] Oh, the Queen! That inbred, antiquated, old cow!

Kelvin

[Queen Victoria shows up behind him, looking unamused.]

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

[outraged]

No, majesty, no!

Inspector Fix

[outraged]

Rubbish!

Queen Victoria

[Everyone starts protesting.]

QUIET!

Queen Victoria

[Everyone stops.]

I love being able to do that. So, Lord Kelvin: unsportsmanlike conduct, attempted murder...trading my arsenal for Buddhas.

Kelvin

How did you know about that?

Queen Victoria

[The Queen looks up and winks. One of Kelvin's aides, revealed to have snitched on him about his deal with General Fang, winks back and waves.]

Admit it – you've been a very naughty boy, haven't you?

Kelvin

[Everyone nods while Kelvin shakes his head in fear.]

Your Majesty, I assure you there is an explanation for all of this. What it was...I was...I was simply...

Queen Victoria

[runs away] [scoffs]

Why do they always run? Arrest him!

Kelvin

[Kelvin runs into several Scotland Yard officers, who place him in a police wagon.]

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]
