1 | !!The book: |
2 | |
3 | * After Paganel announces his intention to join the search for Captain Grant, he also announces his intention to teach Robert geography. |
4 | --> Robert bade fair to be an accomplished gentleman some day, for John Mangles was to make a sailor of him, and the Major was to teach him sang-froid, and Glenarvan and Lady Helena were to instil into him courage and goodness and generosity, while Mary was to inspire him with gratitude toward such instructors. |
5 | * When Captain Mangles starts to develop feelings for Mary, there's this line: |
6 | --> He was smitten with quite a peculiar interest for this young girl, and managed to conceal his sentiments so well [[EveryoneCanSeeIt that everyone on board saw it]] except himself and [[ObliviousToLove Mary Grant]]. |
7 | * [[AbsentMindedProfessor Paganel's]] mistakes. All of them. Special mention goes to the time he thought he was studying Spanish... and it turns out [[EpicFail he was studying]] ''[[EpicFail Portuguese]]''. He gets teased about it. |
8 | --> '''[=McNabbs=]:''' But mind no fits of absence of mind, my dear Paganel; and if you take a fancy to learn Australian, don't go and study it in a Chinese grammar. |
9 | * The ''other'' most glaring example of ScienceMarchesOn fits in a single line: |
10 | --> [[UsefulNotes/AustralianWildlife There are no ferocious beasts in Australia.]] |

13 | !!The 1962 film: |
14 | * While in South America, the team experience an earthquake. Everyone panics... except Paganel, who's happily watching mountains crumble before his eyes. |
15 | --> '''Paganel:''' This is an experience that makes our entire expedition worthwhile! ''[the rock he's standing on collapses]'' |
16 | * Any of the times Lord Glenarvan breaks out the snark. |
17 | --> '''Paganel:''' I'm so stupid, milord. |
18 | --> '''Glenarvan:''' I know, [[TakeThat but that's never worried you till now]]. Upon my word, I don't know which is worse; you being so happy you sing all the time or so glum you won't even talk. ''[imitating Paganel]'' The ombú tree is gorgeous, enjoy it! |
19 | |
20 | --> '''Glenarvan:''' I don't know which is worse; a crazy man who thinks he's smart or a Frenchman who admits he's stupid. |
21 | * Bill Gaye in general. |
22 | * During the fight between Glenarvan's crew and Ayrton's men, Paganel smashes his telescope over one of Ayrton's men's head, bending it out of shape. He looks very upset about this. A minute later, he smashes it over another man's head, bending it back into shape. Then he ''nods and smiles gratefully'' at the man he just knocked out! |
