Passepartout: I'm your new valet.
Phileas Fogg: Uh... I must commend the valet service on their impeccable foresight. But they know I only accept French valets.
Passepartout: Yes. Oh! Oui! Oui! I come from a long line of French valets. On my father's side. Very, very French.

Trivia: The man that punches Phileas when he attempts to beg for money is the director Frank Coraci. (01:22:20)
