1. "Cough, cough. Right, listen here. I'm an American. A very rich American, to be precise, who's known as 'The Millionaire Who Never Laughs'. And I have a private jet on which Tintin and his friends have flown." Laszlo Cariedes Spaulding Dawson Gibbins

2. "Right me old son! I represent the Rock Bottom Insurance company and I'm here to sell you your new policy. What's that? You don't want one? Fiddlesticks! It's settled! Just sign there." Mr. Wagner Dr Patella Jolyon Wagg Mr. Bolt

3. "Well...as you can see, I'm dead now. I was on a rocket to The Moon with Tintin and his friends, but I was blackmailed into sneaking a journalist onboard. Only the "journalist" turned out to be a thug who was going to take the rocket back to his bosses' country - without the rest of us! He forced me to go along with him, but I struggled and his gun went off. I didn't mean to kill him, but happily Tintin trusted me after that. Never-the-less, on our way back to Earth I felt so guilty, and our oxygen was running out. So I decided the best solution was for me to quietly leave the rocket - without a spacesuit." Frank Wolff Jorgen/Boris Mr. Baxter Muller

4. "Aaaaaaah my beauty past compare - these jewels, bright I weeeeeear! As you may have guessed my poppet, I am an opera singer. An Italian opera star all the way from Milan. I enjoy visiting Tintin and his delightful friends Captain Hammock and Professor Candyfloss. The poor deluded media once even thought I was *engaged* to Captain Padlock!" Mila Breaka-la-Glassa Maria Killdeardrumz Carmela de Sonnet Bianca Castafiore

5. "Hey buddy, whad'a'ya lookin' at? I'm a real-life gangster from Chicago. I don't care if that Tintin kid's fictitious or not - the sucker landed all my pals in Congo in the slammer and came to America to get me! I put a contract on him, but that stoopid mutt of his saved his life!" John Gotti Bugsy Siegel Lucky Luciano Al Capone

6. "Hello. I am a small Chinese boy, and Tintin is my friend. He saved me from drowning during the Japanese occupation, and later came to rescue me from the Yeti in Tibet." Chang Chong Chen Lee Low Lou Wong Wang Will Tang Tong Ten

7. "Bueno Dias Amigo! I am President of the South American republic San Theodores. I've met Senor Tintin a few times (he used to be my aide-de-camp) and I've been overthrown a few times (but that's life with military dictatorships). Now I've overthrown my rival General Tapioca for good - and I fear no one! I answer to no one! And I don't take no orders from no one! Except my wife..." General Alcazar Major el Blowemupp Colonel Sponz President Liikmeeordi

8. "I used to be first-mate to Tintin's sorry drunk for a friend Captain Haddock. He stayed in his cabin most of the time with a bottle - which was fine by me cos then the ship was mine! I worked for Rastapopulous's opium ring and after he got caught in "The Blue Lotus" I ran drugs for Omar Bin Salad instead. Years later I joined Rastapopulous again when he was kidnapping a millionaire - and guess who was on the tycoon's plane? Tintin and Haddock! We should have got the money, killed all the witnesses and been rich, but then aliens intervened. I got all my teeth knocked out (tho I can't thpeak pwoperly anymore) and we were all cawied off in a blathted UFO!" Allan Spaulding Dawson Goldberg

9. "I want an icecream! I want an icecream, NOWWW!! If you don't get me one, I'll scream and scream and scream and tell my papa. And my papa's the emir of Khemid!" Flupe Chang Chong Chen Abdullah Quicke

10. "What's this? Why haven't you bowed when I entered? By Kali! Impudence! To prison, this instant! I am ruler of a tiny Himalayan country and my word is law. I never appeared in a Tintin book but I gave Bianca Castafiore an emerald once (which a magpie stole when she stayed at Marlinspike Hall). Later I appeared in another Herge book called "Valley of the Cobras". So get on your knees and beg my pardon or I'll have you whipped!" Maharajah of Gaipajama Maharajah of Gopal Emir of Khemid General Alcazar
