Funny / 80 Days

• Fogg has various funny reactions to the buying and selling of items in the inventory.
  • If you buy a harmonica:
    Fogg: Please do not play that harmonica in my presence ever again, Passepartout.
  • If you sell the altimeter packed in London:
    Fogg: Passepartout, what have you done with my grandfather's altimeter?
  • If you purchase a gun when you already have one in your inventory:
    Fogg: Exactly how many guns do you think we need, Passepartout?
  • If you purchase a mirror:
    Fogg: That mirror seems to be occupying your attention somewhat, Passepartout.
• From the second journey onwards when the London departure dialogue is shortened for player convenience, Passepartout can go a good length of the journey while having no idea why Fogg decided to get up and start travelling around the world suddenly at high speed.
  • He has the option to have a small crisis on the Trans-Siberian about the unanswered questions. "Where were we going? Were we on the run? Why eighty days, and not seventy-five or ninety-three?"
• When meeting new people for the first time, Passepartout often has the option to make the cheerful statement 'We are going around the world!' whether it's appropriate or not.
  • One of the best reactions to this is a street peddler in Amsterdam, who will reply 'Ah-ha! You are like the influenza.'
  • "We are going around the world!" I blurted, and could nearly hear my master refrain from rolling his eyes.
• Some of the dialogue you can have with characters aboard transport about onward travel is hilariously off topic. You could ask somebody about the best route from Singapore to Manila, and they'll tell you to forget that, because they do know that there's great hot springs in Reykjavik!
• If Inspector Fix lures Passepartout into an opium den and tries to convince him Fogg is a criminal, their exchange can be accidentally comedic.
  Passepartout: But he is too gallant to be a thief!
  Fix: Thieves are frequently gallant. Charismatic, even.
  Passepartout: You cannot accuse Monsieur Fogg of charisma!
• The Pitcairn Islanders are an odd sort. The guide introduces Passepartout to a rock named Oh Dear, at which point Passepartout asks him if there's one named Oh Bother as well. The guide tells that there is not, but if he sees a rock he likes, he may name it that. He then points out other tourist destinations: the Ugly Name Side, Dan Fall, Edith Fall, and Where Reynolds Cuts The Firewood.
  • Funnier still, this is Truth in Television. There are so few Pitcairn Islanders that they give locations identifiable names like Stonepeoplefightfor, Oldman Fishing Place and Bitey Bitey.
• Passepartout's over-enthusiastic assertion that he won't go looking for trouble an attempt to please Fogg.
  Passepartout: I am utterly cured of any need for adventure. From now on, I shall be the most level-headed, the most sensible, indeed the most boring gentleman's gentleman a gentleman could ever wish to have. If an adventure so much as glances in my direction, I shall give it the cut direct, and no mistake.
  • Made even better when Passepartout has the option to worry that Fogg is having 'some kind of spasm'- he's just laughing.
• One of the pirates lines up Fogg, Passepartout and a companion, and suggests that 'an Englishman, a Frenchman and a Bavarian' sounds like the beginning of a bad joke.
• A Welsh carriage driver will enthusiastically recall seeing Fogg in the papers... along with his loyal valet, Pisser-party.
• Charles Sullivan will also call him 'Pisspartoo' when squaring up to him in a fight.
• Should the Black Rose meet Passepartout at night in secret to discuss her motivations with him, Fogg's status icon will have some special dialogue in the morning.
  Fogg: I will trouble you not to talk so loudly to yourself in the nights, Passepartout.
• When Fogg comes home at the beginning of the game and abruptly tells Passepartout that he plans on circumnavigating the globe in 80 days, he sensibly assumes that perhaps Fogg is ill and delirious...
  Passepartout: Perhaps you should lie down, Monsieur.
  Fogg: That would be a most inefficient use of time. Pack my things, there is not a moment to waste!
• On the North Pole journey, Passepartout has the ability to become comically jealous of an Artificer who he perceives to have designs on Fogg, citing his 'little coy looks', 'eyelash flutters' and unsubtle metaphors about thermostatic pressure gauges as causes for concern.
• If Passepartout agrees to picnic with Vitti, he can trip and land on top of him and claim he's 'fallen for him'.
• Estelle aboard the Blue Liner, who will enthusiastically assume Passepartout is indeed Phileas Fogg no matter what dialogue options you choose.
• When Fogg suggests staging a mutiny on the 'Waterlily' and diverting its course from Hawaii, Passepartout has two response options: “Indeed, Sir!" or "But the beaches, Monsieur!”
• Passepartout can vocalise his thoughts upon briefly exploring the city of Baghdad. "Cholera. Plague. Famine." The merchant Eli Ezra approaches him at this point, bemusedly asking him if he's placing a curse on the city.
• Try explaining your situation to a Ponta Delgada islander after being launched out of Michel Ardan's rocket.
  Passepartout: I was going to the moon, but I was too heavy.
  Islander: One should never ask a simple question of a European.
• The Turkish Medical Student who offers Passepartout dressed in drag a balloon ride doesn't stop being attracted to him when he ditches the disguise.
  Student: You made an entirely dashing lady. Are you quite sure that you are a man?
  Passepartout: I am quite dashing as a man, too!
  Student: Oh yes, you are a very charming- that is to say, handsome- I mean-
• The First Mate of the Tea Clipper airship staged a mutiny to prevent the Captain from selling the ship. When things resolve themselves, she is ecstatic.
  First Mate Ranuga:The captain's not going to sell the ship! And all I needed to do was try to shoot him!
