Phileas Fogg:
Unlike you and your colleagues, money does not inspire me. Lord Kelvin:
I believe every man has his price. Even you, o noble Phileas Fogg. There must be something I could offer that would be worthy of your time. Phileas Fogg:
There is. Your position as head of the Royal Academy. [chattering begins] Phileas Fogg:
I could lead Britian and the rest of the world into a new age of progress and discovery. [everyone begins laughing] Lord Kelvin:
Fair enough. Phileas Fogg:
What? Lord Kelvin:
I, Lord Kelvin, hereby vow to surrender my position as minister of science to Phileas Fogg if he can circumnavigate the globe... in no more than 80 days. But if he cannot, he must never set foot in the academy again, he must tear down that abhorrent eyesore he calls a labatory, and he must swear... never to invent again. [Phileas is taken aback by this vow, not knowing what to say] Lord Kelvin:
Just as I always suspected, Fogg. You promise so much, yet you deliver... oh,nothing. [more laughter] Phileas Fogg:
[quietly]
I'll take your wager. [the room goes quiet] Lord Kelvin:
What did you say? Phileas Fogg:
[louder]
I'll take your wager!

Unlike you and your colleagues, money does not inspire me.
00:00:06.077 --> 00:00:10.536
I believe every man has his price.
00:00:10.607 --> 00:00:14.703
Even you, o noble Phileas Fogg.
00:00:14.778 --> 00:00:19.408
There must be something I could offer
that would be worthy of your time.
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:26.182
There is. Your position as head
of the Royal Academy.
00:00:29.993 --> 00:00:32.621
I could lead Britain and the rest of the world
00:00:32.696 --> 00:00:35.324
into a new age of progress and discovery.
00:00:38.835 --> 00:00:40.564
- Fair enough.
- What?
00:00:42.506 --> 00:00:46.272
I, Lord Kelvin, hereby vow
00:00:46.343 --> 00:00:50.939
to surrender my position as minister
of science to Phileas Fogg...
00:00:51.003 --> 00:00:53.107
- No!
- No! No!
00:00:53.183 --> 00:00:57.119
If he can circumnavigate the globe...
00:00:57.187 --> 00:00:59.747
in no more than 80 days.
00:01:01.491 --> 00:01:03.584
But if he cannot,
00:01:03.066 --> 00:01:07.687
he must never set foot in this academy again,
00:01:08.999 --> 00:01:13.602
he must tear down that abhorrent eyesore
he calls a laboratory,
00:01:13.067 --> 00:01:16.023
and he must swear...
00:01:16.306 --> 00:01:19.366
never to invent again.
00:01:23.998 --> 00:01:25.001
Just as I always suspected, Fogg.
00:01:25.482 --> 00:01:28.094
You promise so much, yet you deliver...
00:01:29.007 --> 00:01:30.061
oh, nothing.
00:01:33.069 --> 00:01:35.092
- I'll take your wager.
- What did you say?
00:01:37.828 --> 00:01:39.762
I'll take your wager!
00:01:40.797 --> 00:01:42.001
He did it.
00:01:45.001 --> 00:01:47.599
Then it's done.
00:01:47.001 --> 00:01:51.971
A man who has never set foot
out of England circling the globe.
00:01:53.001 --> 00:01:56.001
This is going to be rather amusing.
00:01:58.999 --> 00:02:02.999
History won't remember your amusement,
but it will be hard-pressed to forget
00:02:02.919 --> 00:02:07.001
the moment I'm standing on the very top
step of the Royal Academy of Science.
00:02:07.624 --> 00:02:10.684
By the strike of noon,
00:02:10.001 --> 00:02:14.056
after I, Phileas Fogg, have traveled around the world
00:02:15.001 --> 00:02:17.999
in 80 days!
00:02:24.001 --> 00:02:25.001
Oh, dear.
00:02:26.643 --> 00:02:32.989
Mr. Fogg, we all pack and ready to go.
Mr. Fogg, are you in here?
00:02:32.149 --> 00:02:35.346
Phileas! Phileas! Phileas!
