"Edwin and Morcar, the Earls of Mercia and Northumbria declared for him, and even Stigand... "
Alice. Hm?
I'm listening.
"And even Stigand, the Archbishop of Canterbury, agreed to meet with William and offer him the crown. "
- "William's conduct at first was... "
Alice.
Will you kindly pay attention to your history lesson.
I'm sorry. But how can one possibly pay attention to a book with no pictures in it?
My dear child, there are many good books in this world without pictures.
In this world, perhaps.
But in my world the books would be nothing but pictures.
Your world? What nonsense.
Nonsense? Once more, from the beginning.
That's it, Dinah.
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.
Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't.
And, contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn't be.
And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?
In my world, you wouldn't say "meow".
You'd say, "Yes, Miss Alice. " -
But you would. You'd be just like people, Dinah.
And all the other animals, too.
In my world...
♪ Cats and rabbits would reside in fancy little houses
♪ And be dressed in shoes and hats and trousers
♪ In a world of my own
♪ All the flowers would have very extra special powers
♪ They would sit and talk to me for hours
♪ When I'm lonely in a world of my own
♪ There'd be new birds
♪ Lots of nice and friendly howdy-do birds
♪ Everyone would have a dozen bluebirds
♪ Within that world of my own
♪ I could listen to a babbling brook
♪ And hear a song that I could understand
♪ I keep wishing it could be that way
♪ Because my world would be a wonderland ♪
Oh, Dinah. It's just a rabbit with a waistcoat... and a watch.
My fur and whiskers! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!
This is curious. What could a rabbit possibly be late for?
Please, sir.
I'm late, I'm late for a very important date.
No time to say hello, goodbye. I'm late, late, late.
It must be awfully important, like a party or something.
Mr. Rabbit. Wait!
No, no, no, I'm overdue. I'm really in a stew.
No time to say goodbye, hello. I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.
My. What a peculiar place to have a party.
You know, Dinah, we really shouldn't... be doing this.
After all, we haven't been invited... and curiosity often leads to trouble.|
Goodbye, Dinah. Goodbye!
Oh...
Well, after this I shall think nothing of... of falling down stairs.
Oh!
Goodness. What if I should fall right through the centre of the Earth... and come out the other side where people walk upside down?
But that's silly. Nobody...
Oh!
Mr. Rabbit. Wait. Please.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Ow. -
I beg your pardon.
Quite all right, but you did give me quite a turn.
I was following... Rather good, what? Door knob, turn.
Please, sir. One good turn deserves another.
What can I do for you? I'm looking for a white rabbit.
So, if you don't mind... Eh?
Oh.
There he is. I simply must get through.
Sorry. You're much too big. Simply impassable.
You mean impossible. No, impassable. Nothing's impossible.
Try the bottle on the table. Table?
Read the directions. Directly you'll be directed in the right direction.
"Drink me. " Hm.
Better look first, for if one drinks much from a bottle marked "Poison", it's almost certain to disagree with one sooner or later.
Beg your pardon? Just giving myself some good advice.
But...
Tastes like cherry tart.
Custard, pineapple, roast turkey.
Goodness!
What did I do? -
You almost went out like a candle.
But look. I'm just the right size.
No use. I forgot to tell you. I'm locked.
Oh, no.
But, of course, you've got the key. What key?
Don't tell me you've left it up there.
Oh, dear.
Whatever will I do? Try the box, naturally.
Oh!
"Eat me. " All right.
But goodness knows what this will do.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
What did you say?
I said a little of that went a long way.|
I don't think it's so funny.
Now I shall never get out.
Come, come, now. Crying won't help.
I know, but I... I... I just can't seem to stop.
Hey. This won't do.
Oh, oh, oh...
This won't do at all.
You, up there, stop!
I say. Look.
The bottle. The bott...

If you stay long enough, we might have a battle.
That's very kind of you, but I must be going.
Why? Because I'm following a white rabbit.
Why? I'm curious to know where he's going.
Oh, she's curious.
The oysters were curious, too, weren't they?
Aye, and you remember what happened to them.
Poor things.
Why? What did happen to the oysters?
Oh, you wouldn't be interested. But I am.
Oh, no. You're in much too much of a hurry.
Well, perhaps I could spare a little time.
You could? Well...

Or "The Story of the Curious Oysters. "
♪ The sun was shining on the sea Shining with all his might
♪ He did his very best to make the billows smooth and bright
♪ And this was odd because it was
♪ The middle of the night
♪ The walrus and the carpenter were walking close at hand
♪ The beach was wide from side to side, but much too full of sand Mr. Walrus, said the carpenter My brain begins to perk We'll sweep this clear in half a year if you don't mind the work Work?
The time has come The walrus said To talk of other things Of shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings And why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings Caloo, callay, no work today We're cabbages and kings
Oysters, come and walk with us The day is warm and bright A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk would be a sheer delight And should we get hungry on the way, we'll stop and have a bite
But Mother Oyster winked her eye and shook her heavy head She knew too well this was no time to leave her oyster bed The sea is nice, take my advice And stay right here Mum said Yes, yes, of course, of course.
But, ha-ha, the time has come, my little friends, to talk of other things Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, cabbages and kings And why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings Caloo, callay, come run away With cabbages and kings
Well, now, let me see.
Ah. A loaf of bread is what we chiefly need.
And how about some pepper and salt and vinegar, eh?
Yes, yes. Splendid idea. Very good indeed.
Now, if you're ready, oysters, dear, we can begin the feed.
Feed? Oh yes.
The time has come, my little friends, to talk of food and things Of peppercorns and mustard seed and other seasonings We'll mix them all together in a sauce that's fit for kings Caloo, callay, we'll eat today Like cabbages and kings

That was a very sad story. Aye.
And there's a moral to it. Oh yes, a very good moral.

Well, it's been a very nice visit. Another recitation.

First verse:
♪ You are old Father William, the young man said
♪ And your hair has become very white
♪ And yet you incessantly stand on your head
♪ Do you think at your age it is right? Do you think at your age it is right?
In my youth, Father William replied to his son I'd do it again and again and again...

The rabbit. Mary Ann?
No use, can't wait, I'm awfully late. Oh me, oh my.
Excuse me, sir, but I've been trying to...
Mary Ann, what are you doing out here? Mary Ann?
Don't just do something, stand there.
No, no. Go get my gloves. I'm late. For what? That's just what I...
My gloves! At once! Do you hear?
Goodness. I suppose I'll be taking orders from Dinah next.
Hmm. Now, let me see.
If I were a rabbit, where would I keep my gloves?
Oh.
Thank you. Don't mind if I do.
Oh, no, no. Not again.
Mary Ann!
You see here, Mary Ann.
Help!
Help!
Help! Monster!
Help! Assistance! -
A monster, Dodo, in my house. Dodo?
My poor house. Steady, old chap.
Can't be as bad as all that. My poor roof and rafters.
All my walls. There it is!
By jove. Jolly well is, isn't it?
Do something.
Yes, indeed. Extraordinary situation, but...
But... but what?
But I have a very simple solution.
Thank goodness. What is it?
Simply pull it out the chimney. Go ahead. Pull it out.
Who? Me? Don't be ridiculous.
What we need is a...
... a lizard with a ladder.
Oh! Bill! Bill, we need a lazard with a lidder.
Can you help us? At your service, guv'nor.
Bill, me lad, have you ever been down a chimney?
Guv'nor, I been down more chimneys...
Excellent. You just pop down the chimney and haul that monster out of there.
Righto, guv'nor. Monster?
Come now. That's better, m'lad.
You're passing up a golden opportunity.
I am?
You can be famous. I can?
Of course. There's a brave lad.
In you go, now. Nothing to it, old boy.
Simply tie your tail around the monster's neck and drag it out.
But, guv'nor... Good luck, Bill.
Well, ... there goes Bill.
Poor Bill.
Perhaps we should try a more energetic remedy.
Yes, anything, anything, but hurry.
I propose that we...
Yes, go on. Yes? Yes? I propose that we...

Yes. Burn the house... ? What?

Ow! Let go! Help!
I'm sorry, but I must eat something. Not me, you... you... barbarian.
Help!
Monster!
Help!
I'm late. Oh, dear. I'm here. I should be there. I'm late.
I say, do you have a match? Must go. Goodbye, hello.
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late. Wait. Please wait.
Ah, young lady, do you have a match?
No, I'm sorry but... Mr. Rabbit.
No cooperation, no cooperation at all.
Well, can't have monsters about.

Wait. Please. Just a minute.

Yes, of course... Hm?

A horsefly. I mean, a rocking-horsefly.
Naturally. I beg your pardon, but did you... ?
That's nonsense. Flowers can't talk.
But of course we can talk, my dear.
If there's anyone worth talking to.
Or about.
And we sing, too. You do?
Oh, yes. Would you like to hear Tell It To The Tulips?
No, let's sing about us. We know one about the shy violet.
Not that old thing. Lovely lily of the valley.

That was lovely. Thank you, my dear.
What kind of garden do you come from?
I don't come from any garden. Do you suppose she's a wild flower?
No, I'm not a wild flower.
Just what specie or shall we say genus are you, my dear?
Well, I suppose you'd call me a genus humanus Alice.
Ever see an Alice with a blossom like that?
Come to think of it, did you ever see an Alice?
And did you notice her petals?
What a peculiar color.
And no fragrance.
Just look at those stems. Rather scrawny, I'd say.
I think she's pretty. Quiet, Bud.
But I'm not a flower. Ah-ha! Just as I suspected.
She's nothing but a common mobile vulgaris.
Oh, no!
A common what? To put it bluntly, a weed.
I'm not a weed.
You wouldn't expect her to admit it. Can you imagine?
Well, goodness. Don't let her stay and go to seed.
Go on. Please go.
We don't want weeds in our bed. Move along.
All right. If that's the way you feel about it.
If I were my right size, I could pick every one of you if I wanted to.
And I guess that'd teach you.
You can learn a lot of things from the flowers.
Seems to me they could learn a few things about manners.

But I'm not used to it, and you needn't... shout!
Oh, dear.
By the way, I have a few more helpful hints.
One side will make you grow taller. One side of what?
And the other side will make you grow shorter.
The other side of what? The mushroom, of course!
Hmm.
One side will make me grow...
But which is which?
After all that's happened, I... I wonder if I...
I don't care.
I'm tired of being only three inches high.

Well, I am. I mean, I was.
And I suppose you don't eat eggs, either.
Yes, I do. I knew it. I knew it.

Hmm.

I just can't wait till I...
Oh, dear.
Now I shall never get out.
Well, when one's lost, I... I suppose it's good advice to stay where you are until someone finds you.
But who'd ever think to look for me here?
Good advice.
If... if I'd listened earlier, I wouldn't be here.
But... But that's just the trouble with me.
I give myself very good advice.
♪ But I very seldom follow it
♪ That explains the trouble
♪ That I'm always in
♪ "Be patient" is very good advice
♪ But the waiting makes me curious
♪ And I'd love the change
♪ Should something strange begin
♪ Well, I went along my merry way
♪ And I never stopped to reason
♪ I should have known
♪ There'd be a price to pay someday
♪ Someday
♪ I give myself very good advice

Whom did you expect? The white rabbit, perchance?
No, no, no. I'm through with rabbits.
I wanna go home. But I can't find my way.
Naturally. That's because you have no way.
All ways here, you see, are the queen's ways.
But I've never met any queen. You haven't? You haven't?
Oh, but you must.
She'll be mad about you, simply mad.
♪ And the mome raths outgrabe Please, please. How can I find her?
Well, some go this way.
Some go that way.
But as for me, myself, personally, ...
I prefer the short cut.

The rabbit.
Her Imperial Highness, Her Grace, Her Excellency, Her Royal Majesty, the Queen of Hearts.
And the king. Hooray!
Hmm!
Who's been painting my roses red?
Who's been painting my roses red?!
Who dares to paint with vulgar paint the royal flower bed?
For painting my roses red Someone will lose his head No, Your Majesty, please. It's all his fault.
Not me, Your Grace. The ace.
You? No. Two.
The deuce, you say? Not me. The trey.
That's enough! Off with their heads!
♪ They're going to lose their heads for painting the roses red
♪ Serves them right, they planted white and roses should be red
♪ They're going to lose their heads Silence!
Please, they were only trying... And who is this?
Well. Well now, let me see, my dear.
It certainly isn't a heart. Do you suppose it's a club?
Why, it's a little girl.
Yes. And I was hoping... Look up. Speak nicely.
And don't twiddle your fingers.
Turn out your toes. Curtsy.
Open your mouth a little wider.
And always say, "Yes, Your Majesty. "
Yes, Your Majesty. -
Now, where d'you come from and where are you going?
I'm trying to find my way home. Your way?!
All ways here are my ways!
Yes, I know. But I was just thinking...
Curtsy while you're thinking. It saves time.
Yes, Your Majesty. But I was only going to ask...
I'll ask the questions!
Do you play croquet? Yes, Your Majesty.
Then let the game begin!
To your places! By order of the king! Hurry!
Shuffle deck!
Cards, cut!
Deal cards!
Cards, halt!
Silence!
Off with his head!
Off with his head. By order of the king. You heard what she said.
You're next. But...
My dear. Yes, Your Majesty.
Oh!
Stop!
Of all the impossible...
Do you want us both to lose our heads? Uh-huh.
Well, I don't.
Huh?
I say, how are you getting on?
Not at all. Beg pardon?
I said not at all. Who are you talking to?
A cat, Your Majesty. Cat? Where?
There.
There he is again. I warn you, child.
If I lose my temper, you lose your head.
Understand?
You know, we could make her really angry.
Shall we try? No.
But it's loads of fun. No. Stop.
Oh, no!
Oh, my fur and whiskers.
Oh, dear. Save the queen.
Someone's head will roll for this.
Yours!
Off with her...
But, consider, my dear. Couldn't she have a trial... first?
Trial? Well, just a little trial?
Very well, then. Let the trial begin.
Your Majesty, ... members of the jury, ... loyal subjects, ...
- ... and the king.
The prisoner is charged with enticing Her Majesty the Queen of Hearts into a game of croquet and willfully and with malice aforethought teasing, tormenting and otherwise annoying...
Never mind all that! Get to the part where I lose my temper.
... causing the queen to lose her temper.
Now... are you ready for your sentence?
Sentence? But there must be a verdict first.
Sentence first! Verdict afterwards.
But that just isn't the way... All ways are...
Your ways, Your Majesty.
Yes, my child.
Off with her... Consider, my dear.
We've called no witnesses. Couldn't we hear maybe one or two, huh?
Maybe? Oh, very well.
But get on with it!
First witness. Herald, call the first witness.
The March Hare.
What do you know about this unfortunate affair?
Nothing. Nothing whatever?!
Nothing whatever! That's very important!
Jury, write that down.
Unimportant, Your Majesty means, of course.
Silence! Next witness.
The Dormouse.
Well? Shh.
What have you to say about this?
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat How I wonder...
That's the most important piece of evidence we've heard yet.
Write that down!
Twinkle, twinkle...
Twinkle, twinkle. What next?
The Mad Hatter.
Off with your hat! Oh, my.
Where were you when this horrible crime was committed?
I was home drinking tea.
Today, you know, is my unbirthday.
Why, my dear, today is your unbirthday, too.
It is? It is?
It is?
♪ A very merry unbirthday ♪ To me?
Oh, no.
♪ A very merry unbirthday ♪ For me?

Look. There he is now. What? Who?
The Cheshire Cat. Cat?
Cat! Cat! C-c-c-c! Cat!
There he goes. This is terrible. Help.
Stop him. Catch him, somebody. Help me.
Get me the jam. The jam. By order of the king.
The jam. Let me have it.
Somebody's head is going to roll for this!
Ah-ha!
The mushroom.
Off with her...
Oh, pooh. I'm not afraid of you.
Why, you're nothing but a pack of cards.
Rule 42: all persons more than a mile high must leave the court immediately.
I'm not a mile high, and I'm not leaving.
Sorry. Rule 42, you know.
And as for you, ... Your Majesty.
Your Majesty indeed. You're not a queen.
You're just a fat, pompous, bad-tempered old ty... tyrant.
And er... what were you saying, my dear?
Well, she simply said that you're a fat, pompous, bad-tempered old tyrant.
Off with her head!
You heard what Her Majesty said. Off with her head.
♪ Forward, backward, inward, outward Here we go again
♪ No one ever loses and no one can ever win
♪ Backward, forward, outward, inward Bottom to the top ♪ Off with her head! Off with her head!
You can't leave a tea party without having a cup of tea.
But I can't stop now.
But we insist. You must join us in a cup of tea.
Off with her head!
Mr. Caterpillar. What will I do?
Who are you?
There she goes. Don't let her get away.
Off with her head!
Oh...
Still locked, you know. But the queen. I simply must get out.
But you are outside. What?
See for yourself.
Why, that's me. I'm asleep.
Don't let her get away! Off with her head!
Alice, wake up! Please wake up, Alice.
Please wake up, Alice.
Alice, Alice, Alice...
Alice, will you kindly pay attention and recite your lesson?
Hm?
Oh! How doth the little crocodile improve his shining tail And pour the waters of... Alice, what are you talking about?
I'm sorry, but the caterpillar said... Caterpillar?
Oh, for goodness' sake.
Alice, I... Oh, well. Come along. It's time for tea.
