01x10 - Forget Me Knot

[bunniefuu]

[quirky music playing]

-Hi, Dinah. I'm home.
-[meows]

What's this?

Oh. That's right. I wrote myself a note.

"Don't forget to study."

Study for what?

Oh, now I can't remember.

I'll think of it.

Gee, I even wrapped a ribbon
around my finger

to help me remember.

Boy, whatever it is I'm supposed to study

must be pretty important.

I don't suppose
you remember what it is, Dinah.

[meows]

That's okay.

It'll come to me.

Hmm.

I just have to think about it for a while.

Oh...

They're not here.

Ah. Maybe they slipped behind here.

-Rabbit!
-[yelps]

What are you doing?

Oh, nothing.

Just performing the usual throne tune-up,
checking for lumps.

You're supposed to be looking
for tickets, not lumps.

Well, Your Majesty,
I've looked everywhere,

and those tickets seem to be nowhere.

Oh, I can't find them either.

That means we'll miss tonight's play,
The Queen and I.

Isn't that The King and I?

Not if you're going with me.

If I could just remember
where I put those tickets...

And if you could just remember
where you put your ruby necklace

and your emerald ring
and your diamond tiara--

Are you saying that I'm losing my memory?

Oh, no.

Why, I'll have you know

I have an excellent memory!

Once I've memorized something,

-I know it by heart.
-Oh!

Why, your memory is as good as it--

Look at this.

"The Great Professor Memory:

Improve your memory or your money back."

If you remember how much you paid him.

Here's the address.


This can't be the right address.

-Who are you looking for, Your Majesty?
-The Great Professor Memory.

Oh, him!

Yeah.

Have a cup of tea, Your Majesty.
I'll tell the professor you're here.

[humming]

[in Austrian accent] Gesundheit!

The Great Professor Memory

-[chuckles]
-You can't fool me.

I know you're the Mad Hatter.

Oh...

-Oh.
-Ah-- Oh...

[splutters]

-You are the Mad Hatter.

[chuckles]

Uh, I am Herr Professor,

and this is my assistant, Herr, uh, Hare.

Hey, don't forget about me.

Of course.
And this is my assistant's assistant,

Herr Mousse.

-Not Herr Mousse, Herr Mouse.
-Right.

Listen, Hatter.

If you're a professor,

[both gasp]

She forgot her name.

This is more serious than I thought.

We'll need the Noggin-Knocking Glinger.

Please relaxen the tootsies, Your Majesty.

Have a seat.

Here's the Noggin-Knocking Glinger.

Wha-- What is that?
Don't bring that near me.

Or me.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

This machine is the best way
to improve your memory,

or my name isn't...

Isn't...

-Isn't, uh...
-Hare.

Right. Or my name isn't Hare.

This Noggin-Knocking Glinger
will test your memory.

It's perfectly safe.

All you have to do is answer
some questions off the top of your head.

[hums]

Here we go. Let's get this. Okay.

"What did the porcupine say
to the lawn mower?"

This better not mess up my hair.

[alarm chirps]

Absolutely right!

-Very good, Your Majesty!
-Yeah! Good. Okay, let's take that.

"Who was the Best Supporting Actress
in 1968?"

Oh, come on.

[alarm buzzes]

-Well, there we go.
-That one went over her head.

[Mad Hatter]
Oh! That one went right over her head!

How do these ridiculous questions
improve my memory?

Simple questions
make the brain waves splash

underneath the eary canal there,

and it goes zooming
into the valves of learning

and through the carpal tunnel
and out the Holland Tunnel.

-Oh, go ahead.
-Okay.

"What do you call a rabbit
with the sniffles?"

A runny bunny.

-Herr Hare is absolutely correct!
-Oh, yes! Yes!

He wins a complete set of Tupperware.
[chuckles]

Bunny?

Runny bunny?

Say, now I remember.

I gave the tickets to the Rabbit.

What?

Hello, Mr. Rabbit.

That's an unusual way to cut roses.

We're cutting corners around here.

Oh, I see.

[yells]

Your Majesty, that new... hat,

it took my breath away.

Yes, Your Highness.

It is rather unusual.

It isn't a new hat.

It's a Noggin-Hugging...

Oh, never mind. Think of it as a new hat.

Oh. Are you wearing it
to the show tonight?

I'm not even going tonight,

unless you remember
where you put my tickets.

Oh. Me? I thought you had them.

I did.

But this noggin thing helped me
to remember that I gave them to you.

Oh. So you did.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, my.
What have I done with them?

Your noggin needs jogging.

-Put this on.
-Oh.

Professor Memory said once you wear it,
you'll remember everything.

Oh, thank you, Your Majesty,
but I don't think this is me--

I don't care if you wear it,

just as long as you remember
where you put my tickets. And soon.

Oh...

That is one wild contraption.

Wha...?

Wild, yes.

Hmm.

Wild?

That's it!

My favorite book,
Collect Call of the Wild.

I put the tickets in it for safekeeping.

So all you have to do is get the book.
That's simple enough.

Yes, that's...

not so simple.

By now, it's vanished into thin air.

Oh, don't be silly.
Books can't vanish into thin air.

No, but the Cheshire Cat can,

and he borrowed my book.

[blustering]

Psst, psst, psst.

Psst, psst, psst.

-[beeping]
-Oh, Crystal.

Have you seen the Cheshire Cat lately?

[beeping]

"He comes and goes"?

He certainly does.

Cat? Oh, Cat!

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

-[yelps]
-What do you want, bunny, bunny, bunny?

There you are.

What did you do
with the book I loaned you?

That book?

What a dog of a story.

Certainly not my idea of great literature.

[scoffs] What's your idea
of great literature?

Puss in Boots? [laughs]

Ah, now, there's a classic.

Everyone's a critic.

So where did you put the book?

Relax. I'll tell you.

I... [purrs]

I... [purrs]

Well...

I don't remember.

Oh!

Can't anybody remember anything
in Wonderland?

We can.

We remember everything we've ever learned.

Everything?

[Dee & Dum] Try us.

All right.

-Oh, Crystal, help me out.
-[Crystal beeping]

Please show the Tweedles
pictures of ten different dinosaurs

and see if they can name them.

[chuckles]

Piece of cake.

Apatosaurus.

Allosaurus.

Seismosaurus.

Tyrannosaurus.

Stegosaurus.

[Dum] Triceratops.

Protoceratops.

Pterodactyl.

Uh, diplodocus.

And iguanodon.

Ten lucky guesses.

That's amazing. How do you do it?

We rock our brains.

Don't you mean "rack" your brains?

No, when we say "rock," we mean rock.

Hey, now I remember
who I loaned the book to.

You do?

Remember that part in the song
about "big hungry creature"?

Yes. You mean you loaned my book
to a dinosaur?

No.

A big hungry creature

here in Wonderland. [purrs]

Hmm. Let's see.

The Caterpillar.

So you see, Mr. Caterpillar,
I remembered I was supposed to study,

but I just couldn't remember
what it was I was supposed to study.

Perhaps I can be of some help.

As you know, a caterpillar never forgets.

A caterpillar?

But I was always taught
that an elephant never forgets.

That's because
we caterpillars hate to brag.

So you have a good memory?

The best.

Thanks to my grandfather.

Your grandfather?

He was the best pupa in his class.

In fact, he was the only one
who could spell "arithmetic."

Boy, that's a hard word.

How did he remember how to spell it?

He used ice cream.

Ice cream?

"A rat...

in the house...

might eat...

the ice cream."

I see.

You take the first letter
in each word and put them together,

it spells "arithmetic."

A-R-I-T-H-M-E-T-I-C.

[Alice giggles]

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

But I have a very pressing problem.

Sorry. I don't do ironing.

No, not that kind of pressing.

I mean "pressing" as in important,

because I--

Oh, carrot juice!

I forgot what I was going to say.

What a coincidence.

Your forgetfulness just reminded me
of a story.

Once there was a young witch named Frida.

She was a bewitching witch,
but also a very forgetful witch.

Whenever she tried
to cook up a witch's brew,

she forgot the recipe.

Whenever she went out flying
on her broomstick...

[broom sputtering]

...she forgot to fill it up
with flying dust.

But worst of all,

whenever she tried to cast a spell,

like turning a frog into a prince,

she forgot the right words.

Frida had to do something
about her forgetfulness.

She entered an all-ghouls school
to get some more witch training.

Frida studied harder than anyone.

[clucking]

And eventually,
all her hard work paid off.

Frida ended up graduating
at the top of her class.

From then on,
Frida never forgot how to cast her spells.

Which eventually led
to a shortage of frogs.

But that's another story.

[gasps]

Now I remember what I wanted to ask you.

That cat said he loaned you my book,
The Collect Call of the Wild.

That rings a bell.

Good. Can you remember
what you did with it?

Of course I can.

Because

"hairy apes read everything."

You handed my book over to hairy apes?

I'll bet
this is just like using ice cream.

Isn't it, Mr. Caterpillar?

You've got it, Alice.

Hairy apes? Ice cream?
Oh, dear, now I'm really confused.

Don't you see, Mr. Rabbit?

When you put together
the first letter in each word

of "hairy apes read everything,"

it spells "hare."

Mr. Caterpillar gave your book
to Mr. Hare.

[pensive music playing]

More tea?

Just half a cup.

-Okay.
-Thank you.

[panting] Hare, I found you.

Was I lost?

Oh, this is hopeless.

You probably won't remember.
Why would you remember?

Nobody else remembers
what they did with my book.

Rabbit, I never forget anything.

He has a photographic memory.

Let's see. Mm...

No. No.

Oh, that was fun.

-Oh, yeah.
-But no.

-Oh, no, no.
-Let's see. Let me... Oh!

There it is.

Mm-hm.

I gave it to the queen yesterday.

The queen?

That means the book's been in the palace
all along.

If that rabbit doesn't get back here
with my ticket

within the next five minutes, I--

[Rabbit yelps, then crashes]

Rabbit, where are my tickets?

They're already here, Your Majesty.

What?

The tickets are in the book
the March Hare gave you yesterday.

I put them there for safekeeping.

That book? Oh, dear.

You do still have it, don't you?

Oh, of course I have it.

I just don't know where I have it.

When I can't remember where I put things,
I go backwards.

How can you see walking backwards?

Oh, no, I don't mean walking backwards.

I mean thinking back, one step at a time.

[Red Queen] Hmm.

That's right!
Crystalvision can do it for us.

Ah. [chuckles]

Let's see what I did yesterday. Crystal?

[Red Queen chuckling]

Ooh.

We can skip that part.

There it is, Your Majesty.
You put it under your pillow.

So I did.

-Rabbit, go get it.
-Oh, uh...

My dear,
that backwards trick is very good.

You must tell Professor Memory about it.

Professor who?

-[wheels screech]
-Oh!

Two tickets for Wonderland Theater,

[Rabbit & Red Queen] Tuesday?

Oh, that means
the performance was yesterday.

And I thought my memory was improving.

Well, anybody can forget a date.

Oh... Maybe one.

Hmm.

But this is one date I won't forget.

This book is due back
at the library tomorrow.

Ooh.

Come, my dear.

Just because we can't go to a play

doesn't mean we can't go out
for a nice evening.

[Rabbit clearing throat]

Your Majesty, are you sure
you aren't forgetting something?

Don't be ridiculous.

I have my stole, my jewelry, my purse.

What could I have forgotten?

[mystical music playing]

Now I remember.

Thanks for reminding me, Dinah.

I've got a spelling test tomorrow.
[chuckles]

Number one, "arithmetic."

-Now, what was that about a rat?
-[meows]

Not that kind of rat, Dinah.

Now I remember.

"A rat in the house
might eat the ice cream."
