Around the World in 80 Days

To the Bank of England! Quickly!

Surround the building!

You go that way! You go this way!

There he is!

- Come on!

- After him, men!

That way!

- He came this way. I'm sure of it.

- Come on!

Come on, mates! Keep up!

Sorry, sir.

Today is the day I will finally achieve

what has been deemed impossible.

Man can break

the 50-mile-per-hour speed barrier.

And you're lucky

to be a part of it, Pierre.

- It's Jean Michel, sir.

- Yes.

We will make history.

Or we will die trying.

- Die?

- This is very exciting.

That's it!

I refuse to be catapulted,

electrocuted, or have my internal organs

disrupted any longer!

I quit!

He is a very sick man!

The electrocution was not my fault!

You refused to wear

the rubber underpants!

We're looking for a bank robber.

Is there no man brave enough

to be my valet?

Oh... Aah!

I'm your new valet.

Uh... I must commend

the valet service

on their impeccable foresight.

But they know I only

accept French valets.

Yes. Oh! Oui! Oui!

I come from a long line

of French valets.

On my father's side.

Very, very French.

- But your accent.

- My father French. Never speak.

My mother Chinese and never shuts up.

All the children pick up her accent.

Very well.

Will you be willing to risk your life

to challenge the laws of physics?

- Yes. Uh, and I can sing, too.

- Excellent. Pop this little hat on.

- He's got to be in here.

- He's this way!

And the throttle in your

right hand controls the speed.

- How do I stop?

- Godspeed!

Uh-uh-uh...

Twenty-five miles per hour.

Yes, the pressure's stable-ish.

We need more speed, man.

Waah! Wee-yoo!

Forty miles per hour.

Hang on in there, my good man.

Forty-seven.

Forty-eight.

Forty-nine.

Eureka! We've done it!

Uh...

Waaah!

I say, I say. Uh, good morning.

- I'm looking for a man with...

- Over here!

There he is. There's my valet.

Sorry! New valet.

Whoa!

Whoa!

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

You'll be able to let go any second.

The pack will run out of steam

in exactly three, two, one.

Now.

Look out!

- That was incredible!

- We've broken the human speed barrier.

Good-bye, sir.

It's been very nice valeting for you.

Let's... do it again soon.

Please, wait!

With you as my brave valet,

I can test all my inventions.

No!

Spread out!

- Cover that...

- Yes, yes.

- I take the job.

- Splendid!

I can't wait to present

my results to the Academy.

Too kind. Too kind. Thank you.

And with this grant to develop

new applications for copper wire,

Dr. Ramsey invented this.

Needless to say,

the Royal Academy of Science

declared this crackpot

mentally incompetent,

and he was duly dispatched

to a lunatic asylum.

Sir. I have an urgent

announcement for you. Here.

Don't just stand there. Read it.

Oh. Um...

"It is with great distress

that Scotland Yard announces

that the Bank of England...

has been robbed."

My stolen Jade Buddha stolen?

You blighter!

You gave me every assurance that

the Bank of England was impenetrable!

Sir, sir, I said, "lmpregnable."

It's the same thing, you idiot!

Please, please, not the quills!

Lord Salisbury!

Please contact General Fang

and inform her, no Buddha, no deal.

To forgo your obligation would

be dishonorable, Lord Kelvin.

A woman in the Royal Academy?

The Jade Buddha was delivered

by us to the Bank of England.

- What happens while in British hands...

- Is absolutely your concern.

Colonel Kitchner,

chief of Scotland Yard,

please inform General Fang

what other items were stolen

from the bank.

Nothing else.

Exactly. It seems

your little land dispute

has spilled over
