Banjô Ginga: Fog

Quotes 

• Fog : I'll have to set my watch ahead one hour.

  Rigodon : But why?

  Fog : The Earth is divided by imaginary lines into twenty-four time zones. Now then.

  [He adjusts his watch] 

  Fog : These imaginary lines are called meridians, and every time we cross one going east, it's an hour later than before.

  Rigodon : I find all of zese changes so confusing, Monsieur Fog, so if you don't mind I'll set my watch according to ze time in London.

  [He checks his watch] 

  Rigodon : But how can zis be? My watch also says twelve o'clock, Monsieur Fog! Tico!

  [Tico laughs] 

  Rigodon : If zis is one of your jokes, it's not very funny. You changed the time on my watch, didn't you?

  Tico : Don't blame me if your watch don't know what time it is.

  Fog : [laughs]  Tico is innocent, Rigodon. London time is also twelve o'clock.

  Rigodon : But London's so far away.

  Fog : In fact, Rigodon, London is precisely half way round the world from where we are now, which means that when it's twelve midnight there, it's twelve noon in our present location.

  Rigodon : So it's midnight in London?

  Fog : It's one hour later every time we cross a meridian into a new time zone, and this is the twelfth meridian we've cross since leaving London.
