OUR JOURNEY BEGINS
Narrator: Mr. Fogg is coming back from the Reform Club to tell Passepartout about the journey around the world. Phileas Fogg: Passepartout! Passepartout! Passepartout: Mr. Fogg? Phileas Fogg: Passepartout, I called you twice. Passepartout: Forgive me, I didn’t expect you back so soon. You said that you’d return at half past ten from the Reform Club, and it is only... Phileas Fogg: I know! We leave in ten minutes. Passepartout: Is the good sir going away? Phileas Fogg: Yes. We are going to travel around the world. Passepartout: So that means that the good sir won’t be here for breakfast. One moment... around the world? Phileas Fogg: Yes, in eighty days. Don’t ask how I have ended up in this mess. I will explain later. But the fact is that I have decided to go around the world in eighty days. Passepartout: But... the suitcases? Phileas Fogg: No suitcases. A travel pack with just a few things: a pair of shirts and four socks for each of us. Passepartout: Very well, Mr. Fogg. But, did you say around the world? Phileas Fogg: Yes, all the way around. Passepartout: Yeah. In... in... eighty days. Phileas Fogg: The question is my dear friend... ARE YOU READY?
