Roger Hammond Quotes
Fogg Unwittingly Aids a Criminal
Scientist #1: [walks into the room with a piece of paper]
Sir, I've received a telegram from Inspector Fix.
Lord Kelvin:
Aha!
Scientist #1:
According to him, the bank thief and Fogg's valet are the same man.
Lord Kelvin:
That numbskull Fogg doesn't even realize he's transporting the bank thief!
Lord Salisbury:
Or does he? He did leave town in quite a hurry, wouldn't you say, Lord Rhodes?
Lord Rhodes:
Indeed, Lord Salisbury. Evading arrest, stealing a police vehicle...sounds rather incriminating to me.
Lord Salisbury:
One can almost deduce that this entire bet was just a ruse to facilitate his escape. Don't you agree, Lord Kelvin?
Lord Kelvin:
Yes. Brilliant, Lord Salisbury! I shall name a beef-related entree after you in your honour! Kitchener?
Colonel Kitchener:
Sire?
Lord Kelvin:
Inform your men at Scotland Yard that Phileas Fogg is WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MAN WHO ROBBED THE BANK OF ENGLAND!
Colonel Kitchener:
Yes, sir.
Lord Kelvin:
Where are they now?
Scientist #1:
They're taking a train across India from Bombay to Calcutta.
Lord Rhodes:
Thank goodness we own India.
Lord Kelvin:
I want their faces posted in every police station, army barracks, post office, railway station and outhouse in India! WE'RE GOING TO STOP FOGG AND GET MY JADE BUDDHA BACK BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!
