Despite being drugged, Phileas still has to get his insult in. Our dear, sweet Passepartout goes to all the trouble of dressing the part of a Scot and Phileas just shots him down. "Passepartout, the sporran is generally worn in the front and is not used to carry the bread rolls." At least the drugs make Phileas' tone a little nicer.
After Rebecca and Jules both accuse Phileas of different monstorous deeds, Passepartout attempts to defend his master.
After Passepartout tries to convince the others that "Mr. Fogg is a very scary person sometimes but he is not hurting anybody", he takes his well-drugged master some warm milk. Unfortunately the milk is met by a battle axe through the door aimed right at Passepartout's head.
The large (and extremely cool) fight scene commences when Passepartout takes a mace to the half-crazed Phileas.
The group fights, well Jules is eliminated pretty early but he tried, and Passepartout is forced to hurt his master. His kind and loving nature is his downfall here, because he stops to apologize and ask Phileas if he is all right. Oh well, Passepartout can fight but he can't hurt his master with a clear conscious.
Passepartout comes close to losing the battle...
but some timely interference from Rebecca saves the day!
Unfortunately, the nasty bad guys stick a needle in Passepartout's shoulder and it's nighty-night for our favorite valet.
Passepartout, along with Rebecca and Jules, are straightjacketed and locked away. Luckily for the plot, our heroes cannot be kept down by a mere straightjacket and prison cell! They escape, as always, and rush off to save Phileas!
After Rebecca and Phileas' emotion scene (which most of us VPA members are still sniffling at), the dynamite vest and the blame for the whole situation gets passed around the room. Who does the vest (and the chore of explaining) get stuck on... Our Passepartout!
Our resourceful valet does the right thing, and just throws the vest (and logic) out the window!
