Quotes
-
[first lines]
British Librarian : [inside the British Library] I now bring to your attention one of the most stunning treasures inside the British Library's entire collection: the Magna Carta.
[the tourists murmur at the stolen Magna Carta display, with The Tornado's calling card left at the scene]
Turin Guide : [inside the Turin Chapel] And now, over here, perhaps the most cherished ancient artifact in the Western world: the Shroud of Turin.
[the tourists gasp at the empty display case, with the Tornado's calling card at the scene of the crime]
Japanese Curator : [inside the Kyoto palace, where the policemen and museum curator arrive at the scene; the curator gasps as The Tornado has left another calling card where the Imperial Sword has been stolen] The Imperial sword!
Joubert's Secretary : [at the French government offices in Paris, to Joubert] Chief Inspector Dreyfus is here to see you.
Joubert : Chief Inspector.
Dreyfus : Sir.
Joubert : I'm sure you know why you're here: the British, the Italians, and the Japanese are assembling an elite squad of their finest detectives, an international Dream Team to track down this... Tornado.
Dreyfus : And, uh, France will be represented?
Joubert : Exactly.
Dreyfus : I am honored, but not surprised. This is the culmination of my career... the moment that I've been waititing for all my life.
Joubert : No, no, no.
Dreyfus : Well, not all my life, perhaps...
Joubert : No, no...
Dreyfus : No, nevertheless...
Joubert : They want Clouseau, since he is considered the top detective in the world. We have been asked if Clouseau is available to lead the Dream Team.
Dreyfus : Clouseau?
Joubert : Yes, yes.
[Dreyfus remains silent from shock at the mention of Clouseau's name]
Joubert : Is there something wrong?
Dreyfus : No, no, not at all. Um, would you mind if I uh, use your bathroom just for a moment?
Joubert : Certainly.
Dreyfus : Thank you.
[Dreyfus leaves Joubert's office and enters a bathroom]
Dreyfus : Clouseau...
[Dreyfus bangs his head on the wall and sink counter in frustration, then pushes the toilet's handle; a moment later, he re-enters Joubert's office]
Dreyfus : I'm afraid, sir, that Clouseau is currently occupied.
Joubert : What?
Dreyfus : I've assigned him to a mission so important for our country, that I fear for our national security if he was taken off it.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau : [Clouseau is on parking meter duty in a park near the Eiffel Tower; he takes out a tape measure, and measures the distance between a parked car and the curb] Clearly a violation, parking ticket.
