Alice in Wonderland.
(ALL GASPING)
(SCREECHING)
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
You're right, Stayne,
it is far better to be feared than loved.
Come, boys. Quickly! Come on!
<b>Hatter!</b>
Come on, Mally, quickly. Come on. Come on.
Prepare the Jabberwocky for battle. We're going to visit my little sister.
I had hoped to have a champion by now.
Why don't you slay the Jabberwocky yourself?
You must have the power.
It is against my vows to harm any living creature.
(SPUTTERING)
We have company.
Have a look, Bayard.
BAYARD: Bielle.
(BARKING)
I'm so happy to see you. I thought they were going to...
So did I. But they didn't, and now here I am, still in one piece.
And I'm rather glad about that now that I'm seeing you again.
I would have regretted not seeing you again,
especially now that you're you, and the proper size.
And it's a good size. It's a great size. It's a right proper Alice size!
-Hatter.
-Size. Fez. I'm fine.
Where's your hat?
Mmm.
-Cheshire.
-How's the arm, love?
All healed.
Goodbye, sweet hat.
Have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?
Let me think about it.
You know what tomorrow is, don't you?
Frabjous Day. How could I forget?
Wish I'd wake up.
-Still believe this is a dream, do you?
-Of course.
This has all come from my own mind.
Which would mean that I'm not real.
Afraid so. You're just a figment of my imagination.
I would dream up someone who's half -mad.
Yes, yes. But you would have to be half -mad to dream me up.
(LAUGHS)
I must be, then.
I'll miss you when I wake up.
(PLAYING TRUMPET)
Who will step forth to be champion for the White Queen?
That would be I.
You have very poor evaporating skills. I should be the one.
I'll do it.
-No, me.
-No, me.
No other slayer, nohow.
If it ain't Alice, it ain't dead.
Alice, you cannot live your life to please others.
The choice must be yours,
because when you step out to face that creature,
you will step out alone.
Nothing was ever accomplished with tears.
Absolem?
Why are you upside down?
I've come to the end of this life.
-You're going to die?
-Transform.
Don't go. I need your help. I don't know what to do.
I can't help you if you don't even know who you are, stupid girl.
I'm not stupid.
My name is Alice. I live in London.
I have a mother named Helen and a sister named Margaret.
My father was Charles Kingsleigh.
He had a vision that stretched halfway around the world,
and nothing ever stopped him.
I'm his daughter. I'm Alice Kingsleigh.
Alice, at last.
You were just as dim -witted the first time you were here.
You called it "Wonderland, " as I recall.
Wonderland.
(WATCH TICKING)
-What do you call yourself?
-Alice.
The Alice?
Then I'll take you to the Hare and the Hatter, but that's the end of it.
McTWISP: She's the right one. I'm certain of it.
Ah, Thackery, not at the table, please.
Have some tea.
You're not Absolem, I'm Absolem, stupid girl.
(COUGHING)
-What is this?
-I'm Tweedledee, he's Tweedledum.
Contrariwise, I'm Tweedledum, he's Tweedledee.
DODO: You'd think she would remember all this from the first time.
Curiouser and curiouser.
It wasn't a dream at all, it was a memory.
This place is real, and so are you and so is the Hatter.
And the Jabberwocky.
Remember, the Vorpal sword knows what it wants.
All you have to do is hold on to it.
Fairfarren, Alice. Perhaps I will see you in another life.
(HEAVY FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
-Hello, Iracebeth.
-Hello, Mirana.
(PLAYING TRUMPET)
On this, the Frabjous Day, the Queens Red and White
shall send forth their champions to do battle on their behalf.
Oh, Racie. We don't have to fight.
I know what you're doing.
You think you can blink those pretty little eyes
and I'll melt, just like Mummy and Daddy did.
Please.
No! It is my crown! I am the eldest!
Jabberwocky!
(WHIMPERING)
(GASPING)
(ROARING)
This is impossible.
Only if you believe it is.
Sometimes I believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
That is an excellent practice.
However, just at the moment,
you really might want to focus on the Jabberwocky.
Where's your champion, Sister?
Here.
Hello, Um.
Six impossible things. Count them, Alice.
One, there's a potion that can make you shrink.
(ROARS)
Two, and a cake that can make you grow.
So, my old foe, we meet on the battlefield once again.
We've never met.
Not you, insignificant bearer.
My ancient enemy, the Vorpal one.
That's enough chatter.
(JABBERWOCKY SHRIEKING)
Three, animals can talk.
Four, Alice,
cats can disappear.
Five,
there's a place called Wonderland.
Six,
I can slay the Jabberwocky.
(ROARS)
The Hatter's interfering! Off with his head!
(SCREECHING)
(BANDERSNATCH ROARING)
(JABBERWOCKY SCREECHING)
Off with your head!
Kill her!
We follow you no more, Bloody Big Head.
How dare you? Off with his head!
Iracebeth of Crims, your crimes against Underland are worthy of death.
However, that is against my vows,
therefore, you are banished to the Outlands.
No one is to show you any kindness, or ever speak a word to you.
You will not have a friend in the world.
Majesty, I hope you bear me no ill will.
Only this one, Ilosovic Stayne,
you are to join Iracebeth in banishment
from this day until the end of Underland.
At least we have each other.
(GASPS)
(EXCLAIMING)
Majesty, please! Kill me! Please!
But I do not owe you a kindness.
-STAYNE: Take off my head!
-He tried to kill me.
-Majesty! Please! Please!
-He tried to kill me.
-I offer you my head!
-He tried to kill me!
Oh, the Frabjous Day! Callou! Callay!
(FUTTERWACKEN MUSIC PLAYING)
-What is he doing?
-Futterwacken.
(LAUGHING)
(LAUGHS)
(CLEARS THROAT)
Blood of the Jabberwocky. You have our everlasting gratitude.
And for your efforts on our behalf...
-Will this take me home?
-If that is what you choose.
You could stay.
What an idea. A crazy, mad, wonderful idea.
But I can't.
There are questions I have to answer, things I have to do.
Be back again before you know it.
You won't remember me.
Of course I will. How could I forget?
Hatter, why is a raven like a writing desk?
I haven't the slightest idea.
Fairfarren, Alice.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
She left me standing there without an answer.
A case of nerves, no doubt.
-Alice.
-LORD ASCOT: Good Lord.
-Are you all right?
-What happened to you?
I fell down a hole and hit my head.
I'm sorry, Hamish. I can't marry you. You're not the right man for me.
And there's that trouble with your digestion.
I love you, Margaret, but this is my life. I'll decide what to do with it.
You're lucky to have my sister for your wife, Lowell,
and you be good to her. I'll be watching very closely.
There is no prince, Aunt Imogene.
You need to talk to someone about these delusions.
I happen to love rabbits, especially white ones.
Don't worry, Mother,
I'll find something useful to do with my life.
You two remind me of some funny boys I met in a dream.
-You've left me out.
-No, I haven't, sir.
You and I have business to discuss.
Shall we speak in the study?
Oh. And one more thing.
(ALL GASPING)
My father told me he planned to expand his trade route to Sumatra and Borneo,
but I don't think he was looking far enough.
Why not go all the way to China?
It's vast, the culture is rich, and we have a foothold in Hong Kong.
To be the first to trade with China, can you imagine it?
You know, if anybody else had said that to me,
I'd say, "You've lost your senses."
But I've seen that look before.
Well, as you're not going to be my daughter -in -law,
perhaps you'd consider becoming an apprentice with the company.
Hello, Absolem.
(ALICE PLAYING)
Tripping out, spinning around
I'm underground I fell down
Yeah, I fell down
I'm freaking out Where am I now?
Upside down and I can't stop it now
Can't stop me now
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around Don't you try to stop me
I, I won't cry
I found myself in Wonderland
Get back on my feet, the ground
Is this real?
Is it pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around Don't you try to stop me
I, I won't cry
(ALICE'S THEME PLAYING)
Oh, Alice, dear, where have you been?
So near, so far, so in between
What have you heard? What have you seen?
Alice, Alice, please, Alice
Oh, tell us, are you big or small?
To try this one or try them all
It's such a long, long way to fall
Alice, Alice, oh, Alice
How can you know this way, not that?
You choose the door You choose the path
Perhaps you should be coming back
Another day, another day
And nothing is quite what it seems
You're dreaming Are you dreaming?
Oh, Alice
Oh, Alice
Oh!
Oh, how will you find your way?
Oh, how will you find your way?
No time for tears today No time for tears today
No time for tears today No time for tears today
So many doors, how did you choose?
So much to gain, so much to lose
So many things got in your way
No time today, no time today
Be careful not to lose your head
Remember what the dormouse said
Alice!
Did someone pull you by the hand?
How many miles to Wonderland?
Please tell us so we'll understand
Alice, Alice, oh, Alice
Oh, how will you find your way?
Oh, how will you find your way?
