151 Ah, I see your eye is drawn 152 to what I hope will one day be my crowning achievement. 153 A giant moth? 154 - It's a flying machine. - It can fly? 155 Yes. 156 No. But it will...one day. 157 One day it will transport people through the air. 158 Perhaps over entire oceans. 159 [whistles] 160 Uh-oh. 161 I'm going to have to make a rule for this. 162 Dear Father: 163 I will find the fastest way back to China... 164 to make our village safe once again. 165 [ringing] 166 Passepartout? 167 Departure for the Royal Academy of Science in two minutes. 168 Prepare my urban transport device. 169 Prepare my urban transport device. 170 It's the shoes with little wheels on them. 171 It's the shoes with little wheels on them. 172 Clear the way. Clear the way. 173 Mr. Fogg coming through. Watch out! Watch out! 174 Excuse me. Out of way. 175 - Gangway. - Fogg's arrived. 176 - Gangway. Ooh! - Hey! 177 That makes it exactly ten minutes before noon. 178 That will be all. 179 Gentlemen. 180 T oday I have proved that man 181 can break the 50-mile-per-hour speed barrier 182 without disrupting his internal organs. 183 [murmuring] 184 Where is your Royal Academy of Science authorization? 185 What am I thinking? What a fool. 186 That would mean that you were a real scientist! 187 [laughing] 188 By your definition, a real scientist's objective 189 would be to prevent man from progress. 190 We live in a golden age, Fogg. 191 Everything worth discovering has been discovered. 192 Yet ridiculous dreamers like you insist 193 on a past filled with dinosaurs... 194 and evolution. 195 - [laughing] - And on a future filled 196 with motorized vehicles, 197 radio waves, 198 and flying machines! 199 Confound it! The bloody Bank of England is a madhouse! 200 Rumor has it the bloke's a foreigner. An Asian chap. |
