Give us the benefit of your "ineffable wisdom", Fogg. Phileas Fogg: You rest on your "traditions" if you prefer, but as with this bank robber, progress waits for no-one. Like this very institution, the Bank of England is outdated! Lord Kelvin: As usual, Fogg, your contempt for tradition is appalling. Phileas Fogg: Well, if you ask me, it's about time someone robbed that bank. Scientist #4: Yes, I heard from a very reliable source that it was a gang of red-headed elderly Norwegians with very tiny feet. Scientist #3: In fact, it was a gang of elderly Norwegians. Lord Rhodes: Uh, no, actually, they say he was Norwegian. Scientist #2: Yes, I heard it was a Chinese fellow and he acted alone. Colonel Kitchener: Confound it! The bloody Bank of England is a madhouse! Scientist #1: Rumour has it that it was a foreigner, an Asian chap. Yet ridiculous dreamers like you insist on a past filled with "dinosaurs" and "evolution" and on a future filled with "motorized vehicles", "radio waves" and "flying machines". Everything worth discovering has been discovered. Lord Kelvin: We live in a golden age, Fogg. That would mean that you are a real scientist! Phileas Fogg: By your definition, Kelvin, a real scientist's objective would be to prevent man from progress. Lord Kelvin: Where is your Royal Academy of Science authorization?! Oh, what am I thinking? What a fool. Phileas Fogg: Gentlemen, today I have proven that man can break the 50 mph speed barrier without disrupting his internal organs. This time, do not let it slip through your fingers. Kitchener? General Fang: My agents will retrieve the Jade Buddha once again, Lord Kelvin. Until the Jade Buddha's back in my possession, you and your cause will receive no British military assistance whatsoever. Seems your little land dispute has spilled over onto our noble shore. What happens while it's in British hands- Lord Kelvin: Is absolutely YOUR CONCERN! Colonel Kitchener, Chief of Scotland Yard, please inform General Fang what other items were stolen from the Bank of England. Lord Salisbury: A woman? In the Royal Academy? General Fang: The Jade Buddha was successfully delivered by us to the Bank of England. Lord Kelvin: MY STOLEN JADE BUDDHA, STOLEN! YOU BLIGHTER! YOU GAVE ME EVERY ASSURANCE THAT THE BANK OF ENGLAND WAS IMPENETRABLE! Kitchener: Sir, sir, I said "impregnable"– Lord Kelvin: IT'S THE SAME THING, YOU IDIOT! Kitchener: PLEASE, NOT THE QUILLS! Lord Kelvin: LORD SALISBURY! Please contact General Fang and inform her: "No Buddha, no deal." General Fang: To forego your obligation would be dishonourable, Lord Kelvin. Kitchener: It is.with Scotland Yard announces.that the Bank of England.has been robbed. Lord Kelvin: Well, don't just stand there, man, read it. 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 half-wits is going to stop me? You?! You?! You?! The Queen?! Oh, the Queen! That inbred, antiquated old cow! The only way she could stop me is if she sat on me! With her big, fat royal bottom! She's behind me, isn't she?ĭialogue Colonel Kitchener: Sir, I have an urgent announcement for you.This is the Royal Academy of Science! We don't need to prove anything! Besides, by the time you get out of jail, you'll have lost this wager.What's the point in hiring a corrupt inspector if he can't even abuse the law properly?!.Yet ridiculous dreamers like you insist on a past filled with "dinosaurs" and "evolution", and on a future filled with "motorized vehicles", "radio waves" and "flying machines". A female General?! What sort of pathetic man takes orders from a woman?.Needless to say, the Royal Academy of Science declared this crackpot "mentally incompetent" and he was duly dispatched to a lunatic asylum. And with this draft to develop new applications for copper wire, Dr Ramsey invented this.The artist views reality through imagination rather than simply recording it.
