Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Now, you were saying, Inspector.
Dreyfus: Eh, you are being re-assigned.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Let me read your mind: the Tornado is at large, and you want me to protect the Pink Panther.
Dreyfus: No.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: No?
Dreyfus: It is my job to protect the Pink Panther. You've merely been re-assigned to the Dream Team.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Oh, that is quite an honor, but I cannot accept.
Dreyfus: What?
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: If Inspector Clouseau were to leave France, the Tornado would surely strike at the Pink Panther!
Dreyfus: *I'm* guarding it!
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: But...
Dreyfus: Don't argue! You fly to Kyoto in the morning!
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: But I can't fly!
Dreyfus: [yells in frustration] In a plane!
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Oh, but still...
Dreyfus: That's an order!
[Clouseau salutes Dreyfus before leaving his office]

Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Nicole...
[Nicole picks up the flight ticket from Clouseau's desk]
Nicole: Oh. You are traveling?
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Ah yes. Inspector Dreyfus is sending me on a very dangerous mission.
Nicole: For how long? When will you return?
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: I will return when the criminal is caught; it could be a month, it could be a year. You understand, Nicole?
Nicole: Yes, yes of course.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Of course, we will have to stay apart. If the criminal were to say, kidnap me, he would have power over me.
Nicole: Why would he have power over you?
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: Well... because... because, uh... well... you are like a brother to me.
Nicole: Oh.
Insp. Jacques Clouseau: A hot, sexy brother in a dress.
[Nicole sighs]
