Monique La Roche : Where's your proof?
Lord Kelvin : This is the Royal Academy of Science! We don't have to prove anything!

[Monique, Phileas and Passepartout are disguised as women in India]
Phileas Fogg : I feel faint.
Monique La Roche : Phileas, women are not that weak.
Phileas Fogg : No, but I am.
-
[Monique has just knocked out General Fang with a martial arts strike]
Passepartout : [astonished] She must be the eleventh tiger!
Monique La Roche : [curls fingers into claws] Meow.

Prince Hapi : You two men may leave but Miss La Roche stays here.
Phileas Fogg : Why does she stay?
Prince Hapi : She will be my wife. One of seven.
Monique La Roche : Surprised. You have seven wives?
Prince Hapi : One for every day of the week. Do Tuesdays work for you?

Monique La Roche : [just after Philieas has discovered the truth and is leaving] Don't let him go. He'll be lost by midnight. Go.
[to Passepartout]
Phileas Fogg : [outside, surrounded by thugs with swords to his neck as Passepartout finds him] More of your relatives, I suppose.
-
Passepartout : [in the warehouse, seeing the Statue of Liberty in pieces] That's a big man.
Monique La Roche : It is a lady. A French lady.
Phileas Fogg : [turning to see General Fang and her henchmen] She looks like an evil Chinese warlord to me.
General Fang : Your journey has caused quite a stir, Mr. Fogg. But I'm afraid it ends here.
Passepartout : Leave them alone, Fang. This has nothing to do with them.
General Fang : On the contrary, Lau Xing. Lord Kelvin and I have made new arrangements to conquer Lanzhou. Unfortunately for Mr. Fogg, they entail his... permanent detour.
-
Monique La Roche : I'm sorry, Phileas.
Phileas Fogg : Don't be, my cheri. I saw the world. I learnt of new cultures. I flew across an ocean. I wore women's clothing. Made a friend.
[he takes Monique's hand]
Phileas Fogg : Fell in love. Who cares if I lost a wager?
Queen Victoria : I do! I've got 20 quid riding on you.
Phileas Fogg : Your Majesty, it has gone 12 noon.
Queen Victoria : Correct. Which gives you 24 hours remaining.

Monique La Roche : [dedication on a painting] I travelled the world for inspiration, and found it in a man who lives what he dreams.
