Around the World in 80 Days Page #5

Your brothers will be proud.

The whole notion of

a lighter-than-air craft cannot work,

unless you can

harness the power of helium.

Or hydrogen, which is far better...

Yes, well, couldn't have

put it better myself.

As for this Englishman, do you think

such an association is wise?

He is the most disciplined man

I have ever met.

The crane!

The monkey. Very frightening.

Snake.

And, of course, the eagle.

Phileas?

Phileas, I made this for you.

Oh, yes.

Oh, that's very, very good. Yes.

What does this say?

Stupid.

Lau Xing...

I've had quite enough.

I just... I...

Ahhh.

I am going to be abominably ill.

I... I want to die.

Please kill me.

"Dear Father:

I will find the fastest way to China."

It's strong.

Mr. Fogg, I was going to tell you.

- This is your family.

- My name is not Passepartout.

It is Lau Xing.

- I robbed the Bank of England.

- You robbed the Bank of England?

Not for gold or money,

but for the Jade Buddha.

It was stolen from our village.

Phileas, he had no other choice.

This was his only way to get home.

- You knew about this?

- Well...

I have nothing but respect

for you, Mr. Fogg.

Then respect my deductive reasoning.

You have both used me.

You to escape to China,

and you to travel to further

your impressionistic humbug!

Your overtures of... comradeship,

of friendship, of...

All that was a means to ensure

I would take you along.

My entire life,

I got along splendidly by myself.

You've been pebbles in my shoe,

slowing me down, endangering my life,

risking everything,

all I've ever lived for.

And you!

You knew that.

Don't let him go.

He'll be lost by midnight.

Go!

More of your relatives, I suppose.

You can just forget

about a reference.

I beg a thousand pardons, Mr. Fogg.

What's he screaming about?

He's saying, "Please, let me go.

I'm bored."

Why is he in prison?

Urinating in public.

Charming.

At least he had the decency

to be forthcoming about it.

Is there anything you've told me

that's even remotely true?

I really can sing.

# Frre Jacques, Frre Jacques

# Dormez-vous

# Dormez-vous

# Sonnez les matines

Sonnez les matines

# Ding, ding, ding

Ding, ding, ding #

Ding, dang, dong, Passepartout.

Ding, dang, dong.

Look!

Oh, good. Here comes

Mr. Grumpy and the Leatherettes.

- Where is the Jade Buddha?

- You are better off killing me.

You have nerve.

Are your comrades so brave?

Your threats don't frighten me.

Nor does your silly bracelet.

All right. It's not silly.

I spit on you! France spits on you!

Vive I'Anjou!

- Your turn will come soon enough.

- Coward!

Leave them alone. Fight me.

Yes, fight him.

Let's see how ferocious you really are.

Hey, that's cheating!

- Look out!

- Huh?

Left!

Behind you!

No!

- Hit them!

- Silence!

You savages!

Phileas, help him!

- Watch out on the right.

- Huh?

No, my right.

Stop helping me!

What's happening?

Where is Passepartout?

How is he getting on?

I wouldn't say he's winning,

but, uh, I think he's doing all right.

Go home to mama.

Huh?

- What took you so long?

- I had to finish my lunch.

Wong Fei Hung!

Surely you're not foolish enough

to take on all of my men by yourself?

Ten Tigers?

Kill them!

Execute the prisoners!

I want their heads on pikes!

What's happening?

Phileas!

Ohhh!

Passepartout... Knife!

- Merci.

- You're welcome.

You promise me that Black Scorpions

will never come back to Lanzhou.

These are my brothers and sister.

The Ten Tigers.

- But there are only nine.

- Including me.

They're real.

The legend was true.

- Mr. Fogg...

- Passepartout,

or whatever your name is,

save your apologies.

Phileas, he risked his life

for what he believes in.

If anyone understands that, you do.

Please ensure Miss La Roche

finds safe passage home.

This should be adequate.

Oh.

I, uh, believe this is your veil.

I will never dress like a woman again.

Ever.

Mr. Fogg.

Please let me help you win your bet.

I have secured the services

of a more reliable gentleman.

Yes. Well, perhaps I'll just, uh,

travel alone.

Fifi La Belle!

She sings! She dances!

She does the dance of the...

You, sir, come right in.

See Miss Fifi La Belle in all her...

Ah, the most modern city in the world.

Finally, civilization.

Excuse me. Pardon me.

Can anyone direct me

to the Pacific Railroad Station?

Oh, I'm so sorry, sir.

I'm such a... rutabaga sometimes.

No, no, no.

Please, it's my fault entirely.

- Let me, uh...

- Oh... Ah!

Oh. Oh, Lord,

I think I sprained my knee.

Uh! Ooh.

I should find you a physician.

There's a doctor who has

an office around the corner.

Excellent.

Well, uh, I'll get him for you.

Thank you.

There should be more people

like you in this world.

Whoo, doggy! Jackpot!

Whoo!

Mon Dieu.

Can you imagine Phileas alone

in a place like this?

I'm sure he's fine.

Alms.

Alms.

Alms for the poor?

Arms?

You already got arms.

It's money you need.

I can't even scrounge proficiently.

Hey.

Cheer up, pal. You just gotta

figure out what'll work for you.

Now, what makes you

different from them?

I'm hungry and miserable.

No. You stink.

Your stink is your most powerful weapon

in your begging arsenal.

Watch this.

Hey.

- Give me money.

- Sure. Don't touch me. You stink.

- That guy smells like a dead horse!

- I'm not proud of it.

Simple, yet effective.

- Yeah, I see.

- You try.

Give it a shot. I got faith in you.

Excuse me. Now, uh, you...

Ah.

I'm not gonna lie to you.

That's gonna happen about half the time.

It's a volume business.

- Hunk of cheese?

- Oh, yes, I would rather...

Maybe later.

What are them drawings?

You some kind of devil worshipper?

Don't you be putting a hex on me.

I'll cut you.

- I'm an inventor.

- That's nice.

Or, rather, I was.

One day I will build a machine

that will allow man to fly.

Flying men? Where?

- Nowhere.

- Where are the flying men?

- Where are the flying men?

- Over there.

The bird men are coming! I knew it!

The bird men are coming!

The bird men are coming!

The birds! The bird men!

Bird men! Birds!

"I traveled the world for inspiration

and found it in a man...

who lives what he dreams."

- Phileas?

- No.

Passepartout! Monique!

Mr. Fogg.

You crossed the Pacific Ocean.

For me?

- We will help you win your bet.

- Mr. Fogg, I would never let you down.

- But why would you do this?

- Because you are our friend,

and perhaps... more.

More with her. You and me?

We just stick with friends.

- Ooh.

- Oof!

Lord Kelvin, I can

offer you something much more precious

than a single Jade Buddha.

Beneath Lanzhou are a series

of untapped jade reserves.

If the town were to be overrun,

those reserves would be ours.

I see.

However, should Phileas Fogg

win this race,

I will have neither the power nor

the means to hand over any arsenal.

Then I will see to it personally

that Mr. Fogg's journey is cut short.

Very well.

Let us consider our deal to be...

Still, it's a first-rate idea, sir.

What's this blocking my jade reserves?
