Around the World in 80 Days Page #3

I could lead Britain

and the rest of the world

into a new age of progress

and discovery.

- Fair enough.

- What?

I, Lord Kelvin, hereby vow

to surrender my position as minister

of science to Phileas Fogg...

- No!

- No! No!

if he can circumnavigate

the globe...

in no more than 80 days.

But if he cannot,

he must never set foot

in this academy again,

he must tear down that abhorrent eyesore

he calls a laboratory,

and he must swear...

never to invent again.

Just as I always suspected, Fogg.

You promise so much, yet you deliver...

oh, nothing.

- I'll take your wager.

- What did you say?

I'll take your wager!

He did it.

Then it's done.

A man who has never set foot

out of England circling the globe.

This is going to be rather amusing.

History won't remember your amusement,

but it will be hard-pressed to forget

the moment I'm standing on the very top

step of the Royal Academy of Science.

By the strike of noon,

after I, Phileas Fogg,

have traveled around the world

in 80 days!

Oh, dear.

Mr. Fogg, we all pack and ready to go.

Mr. Fogg, are you in here?

Phileas! Phileas! Phileas!

- Uh...

- Mr. Fogg, are you well, sir?

Huh?

Uh, Passepartout.

Would you... sit with me a moment?

Yes, sir.

I risked everything,

my entire life's work.

For something you believe in.

Nothing could make

more sense than that, sir.

You are honorable, Passepartout.

But I'm afraid this was

a calamitous lapse of judgment.

- Mr. Fogg?

- Yes?

- Let your family...

- There is no one left to tell.

This house and my inventions

are all I have.

And a brave French valet that will help

you make it around the world in 80 days.

- You really believe we can succeed?

- Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes!

You're mad. We'll be sliced to pieces

before we reach India.

We're with you, sir!

Good luck!

Halt!

- Quite a contraption here, Mr. Fogg.

- Thank you, Inspector.

But I'm afraid I'm gonna have to detain

you and your valet until further notice.

This here doohickey is in violation

of the city's new vehicle code.

Vehicle code?

Code 431.

All vehicles

must be powered by horses.

Or other indigenous

quadruped creatures of the like,

excluding giraffes and...

You're driveling. Stand aside.

I'm about to embark upon

a journey around the world.

Not in this monstrosity,

you're not. No!

- Mm-mm.

- That's hot.

It's... Ow!

Time to go.

We have a boat to catch.

Stealing a police vehicle is not

an acceptable way to begin our journey.

- Not stealing. Borrowing.

- Excuse us.

We're borrowing this vehicle

to catch our ship to Paris,

if someone could inform

the appropriate authorities.

Bloody hell! Me brain's leakin'!

Ahh! Damn that nincompoop Fix.
