01x24 - Party-Pooped

[bunniefuu]

[birds chirping]

[meows]

Sorry to kick you off the desk, Dinah,
this stack of cookbooks is getting heavy.

Mom's letting me choose the food
for my party next week.

Any suggestions for the menu?

-[meows]
-I know,

if it were up to you,
we'd just have tuna sandwiches and milk.

Of course, what to eat
is the least of my problems.

I have to figure out what to do about
Roz and Patti.

I mean, they're both my friends.

But they got into an argument, and now
they're not speaking to each other.

What'll I do, Dinah?

I don't want them fighting at my party.

And how can I invite one
and not the other?

[sighs]

That's a tough one.
I'd better think about it.

[sighs]

What's up? Besides me.

What's up? Just look at the time.

It's 15 minutes past tea time,
and the March Hare isn't here yet.

Tea time is exactly four o'clock sharp.

-Not 3:43. Not 4:22, just plain 4.
-[clocks ticking]

Four?

-Four.
-[Hare] Fore!

-[whistling]
-[plop]

Excuse me, has anyone seen a golf ball
pass this way?

Thank you.

Hold it.

It's past tea time, you're late.

Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I just forgot.

Well, do you at least have a good excuse
for forgetting?

Actually, no.

A bad excuse?

Afraid not.

-A note from home?
-Why, yes.

As a matter of fact, I do.

"Please excuse the March Hare from recess,

he has a slight earache.
Signed, the March Hare's Mother."

This won't do.
How old is this note, anyway?

I think it will be 17 years old next week.

Well, being late isn't really
the problem, anyway.

It's not? Then what is?

You're being inconsiderate,
not thinking about my feelings.

Take last Thursday.

I asked you to pick up a dozen crumpets,
and you brought me egg rolls instead.

-I thought you liked egg rolls.
-Oh, yes, I love them.

No kidding, you ate all but three.

That's not the point.

It's not? Then what is?

The point is, it was inconsiderate of you
not to bring what I asked for,

whether I wanted it or not.

Okay, you're right.

From now on, I'll try to remember.

Crumpets, yes. Egg rolls, no.

Look, it's not just a matter of crumpets
and egg rolls.

Or being late?

Exactly. So you see my point.

Yes. Next time,
I'll bring chocolate chip cookies.

All right, look, I don't wanna argue
about this anymore.

So you'll simply apologize,
and then we'll call it even.

I don't see why I should apologize.

You're the one who can't decide
what he wants to eat.

Are you going to say you're sorry or not?

Why should I?
I don't even know what I did wrong.

-A real friend would apologize anyway.
-Oh, yeah?

A real friend wouldn't want a real friend
to apologize for something

unless he knew exactly
what he was apologizing for.

[gasps] Trouble's brewing.

-Who's right here, Dormouse?
-Yes, explain it to him, Dormouse.

Oh, no, not me. I say any pot in a storm.

There. That proves it.
You're not my real friend.

-Fine.
-Fine.

-Have it your way.
-Have it your way.

[scoffs] How do you like that, huh?

You ever thought of growing
any other colors of roses, Your Majesty?

-I used to. I gave it up.
-Why?

It's too much work painting them red.

Hello, everyone. Here, have an invitation.

-For you. And you.
-An invitation to what?

I'm hosting a fondue party tomorrow.

Oh, a fondue party. What fun.

Um, what's fondue?

Nothing. What's fondue with you?

[laughing]

But seriously.

It's the absolute latest in parties.

It's what you do to have fun ♪

♪ And tomorrow afternoon
You're all invited to one ♪

[chuckles] I hope you can all come.

Uh, please RSVP by three o'clock tomorrow.

What does RSVP stand for?

RSVP stands for
"Répondez, s'il vous plaît."

It's French.

Oh. Then I'm afraid I can't attend
the party. I don't speak French.

All it means is "please answer."

To RSVP means to say
whether you're coming to the party or not.

In that case, IBT.

-What's IBT?
-I'll be there.

[chuckles] Great.
See you tomorrow at four o'clock sharp.

Wait. Four o'clock?

Isn't that the Hatter's tea time?

Yes, if you have a fondue party at 4,
the Hatter won't be able to attend.

It's not my concern. He's not invited.

In fact, at the moment,
I'm not even speaking to him.

That's odd.

Why wouldn't the Hare
be speaking to the Hatter?

Hello.

Ah! What's this?

An invitation. To an extra-special
tea party tomorrow at four o'clock.

But the March Hare is having
a fondue party tomorrow at four o'clock.

Oh, really?

So he's trying to pull the old "invite
everyone in Wonderland to a fondue party

at exactly the same time
as the Mad Hatter's tea party" trick, huh?

It seems to me
you should change your tea time

so the two parties
aren't at the same time.

No. That's exactly what
he'll be expecting me to do.

My tea time has always been four o'clock,
and four o'clock it will always be.

Oh, but if you don't change the time,

then the Hare won't be able to go
to your party.

Mm. Mm-mm-mm-mm. It's not my concern.

He's not invited.

In fact, at the moment,
I'm not even speaking to him.

But, uh, what about us?

We can't go to two parties
at the same time.

Then you'll just have to decide
which party is more important.

But I think you should know,
fondue parties have been out for years.

Now what? If we only go to one party,
then somebody's feelings will get hurt.

Yes, and we can't be in two places
at once.

Maybe not, but we'll have to try.

I've never missed a party in my life.

[humming] Oh, my guests!

[chuckles] Gather round, gather round
and have some fondue.

-Mm, looks good.
-Good. And good for you.

You dip these vegetables in melted cheese.

And for dessert, you dip bread and fruit
in melted chocolate.

Lovely. I think I'll try
a carrot stick first.

I like celery.

-Mmm.
-Mmm.

Better than a tea party any old day,
wouldn't you say?

[all gulp]

Uh, excuse me, Hare,
but may I please have a glass of milk?

Certainly. I'll be right back.

[humming]

Is everything all right?

Couldn't be better.

-Delicious.
-Very good, Hatter.

Better than a fondue party
any old day, wouldn't you say?

[both gulp]

Excuse me, Hatter.
Could we please have some more crumpets?

Certainly. I'll be right back.

Here's your glass of milk,
Your Majes-- Dee! Dum.

-Hi, Hare.
-Great fondue party.

May I please have another glass of water?

Um, sure. I'll, uh, be right back.

Here you go. More crumpets--

-Wonderful party, Hatter.
-Nice for you to invite us.

Yes, tell me, you wouldn't happen
to have any marshmallow butter, would you?

Uh, sure,
I think I've got some in the house.

Uh... Uh.

-[all] Look.
-Huh?

[both] Look.

-Now, that was a successful party.
-Now, that was a successful party.

[groaning]

Oh, if I never see another crumpet,
it'll be too soon.

Hello, lads. Care for a sandwich?

[both groan]

A simple "no thank you" would do.

Sorry, I'm a little full.

You're lucky to be a little full,
I'm a lot full myself.

The Hatter and the Hare
aren't getting along.

So they each threw parties
at the same time.

We went to both of them.

The Hatter and the Hare are feuding, eh?

You know, this situation
reminds me of a story.

Once, there was a dog named Doug
and a cate named Kate,

who grew up as best friends.

They played the same games.

-They liked the same food.
-[slurping]

They even learned to speak
each other's language.

-Woof.
-Meow.

But, eventually, they grew up.

And Doug met some other dogs,
who made fun of him about Kate.

"How can you be friends with that cat?"
they teased.

"Everyone knows
that cats and dogs don't mix."

Sadly, Doug stopped being friends
with Kate.

But Doug's new friends weren't good dogs.

One day, someone complained
to the dog catcher about the bad dogs.

Doug's so-called friends ran off.

-Left him to take the blame.
-[yelling]

Doug was scared.
He didn't know where to turn.

Then he remembered
his old friend, Kate, the cat.

Kate helped Doug hide.

And when the dog catcher came,
he was sure Doug wasn't there.

Because as everyone knows,
dogs and cats don't mix.

And so Doug learned
who his true friend was.

From that day, he vowed he and Kate
would always stay friends,

no matter what anyone said.

After all, who says cats and dogs
have to fight like cats and dogs?

I wish the Hatter and the Hare
could patch up their feud so easily.

We did all we could to help.

By going to both parties, at least
we didn't hurt anyone's feelings.

No, just our stomachs.

Actually, you may have made
the problem worse.

Since both parties turned out so well,

both the Hatter and the Hare
may want to do it again.

Ah, come on, that can't happen.
It takes a lot of work to throw a party.

I mean, what are the odds of the Hatter
and the Hare

pulling this "two parties
at the same time" thing again?

"There's a party being given..."

"By the Hatter..."

"By the Hare..."

"Tomorrow, four o'clock..."

"I'll see you there"?

Oh, no. We have to do all the running
back and forth again tomorrow?

My skates are still smoking from today.

[hissing]

This is ridiculous.

I like a party as much as the next queen,

but enough is enough.

♪ Too many parties, too much fun ♪

♪ Had the time of my life
Now the damage is done ♪

♪ Had my fill of crumpets and cakes ♪

♪ Can't eat another bite
Please take it away ♪

♪ One too many parties ♪

♪ I think I'm party pooped ♪

♪ One too many parties to go to ♪

♪ Hello, I must be going ♪

♪ Too many friends to see ♪

♪ As soon as I get to a place ♪

♪ One too many parties to go to ♪

♪ Now I'm party pooped ♪

Wait. The problem isn't that
there are two parties...

it's that the Hatter and the Hare
aren't getting along.

We need to get them together again.

But how?
They're not even speaking to each other.

By inviting them both to a party here.

Tomorrow, at four o'clock.

But if I have a party then,
won't that conflict with their parties?

Oh, I get it.

I have a party,
no one shows up to theirs, of course.

And then they both show up here
and start chatting and eating,

and pretty soon, they'll make up.

Oh, fantastic idea. [chuckles]

That's why I'm the queen.

[ticking]

I think it'll work, it has to.

So do we all know the plan?

Suits me to a tea.

-[Mad Hatter humming]
-Here he comes.

[all laughing]

Mr. Hatter, glad you made it.

Yes, well, a person gets tired of doing

all the entertaining for everyone
in Wonderland.

-Whoops.
-Oh, hi there. Ooh.

Mr. Hare, it's nice to see you.

Hello, Alice. It's nice to see you.

Oh, Mr. Hatter,
isn't there something you'd like to say?

Yes, Alice.

Would you please ask
Mr. Hare to step aside?

I'd like to get to the tarts.

Please tell Mr. Hatter
that if he wants a tart,

why doesn't he just ask me for one?

Would you please tell Mr. Hare
that I'm not speaking to him?

Please tell Mr. Hatter
that I'm not speaking to him either.

-Um, excuse me for a minute, would you?
-[Mad Hatter] Mm-hm.

Our plan didn't work.

We got Hatter and Hare to the same party,
but they're still not talking.

Are you sure? I could have sworn
I saw their lips move.

I mean, they're not talking to each other.

Oh, this feud has gone far enough.

-It's time for Plan B.
-We have a Plan B?

Of course we do.

What kind of queen would I be
if I didn't make sure we had a Plan B?

Now, listen up.

[all whispering]

[Alice] Yes!

So I understand that the two of you
refuse to speak to each other.

[slurps]

Mm, I see.

Your Majesty...

would you ask Mr. Hatter and Mr. Hare
if either of them would like a tart?

-Actually, I would.
-Yes, that sounds good.

Rabbit, please ask Alice
to repeat the question.

Would you please tell Her Majesty

I'd be delighted to ask Alice
to repeat the question?

Please tell the Rabbit I'd be happy
to tell Her Majesty

the Rabbit would be delighted
to ask Alice to repeat the question.

Tell my brother I can't talk
with my mouth full.

Tell Mr. Dee we're not talking about
manners, we're talking about tarts.

Please tell Alice if she'd just said so
in the first place,

we could've have avoided
all this confusion.

I wish someone would tell me why no one
is speaking directly to anyone else.

I can't follow a thing they're saying.

How true that is.

[all] Aha!

-[yells] What?
-[stammering] What?

You and Mr. Hatter.
You spoke to each other.

[both gasp]

Impossible, we're not speaking.
Did you say anything to me?

-Absolutely not. You say anything to me?
-Not a word.

Aha. Again.

-There's no doubt about it.
-We all heard you.

You're back on speaking terms.

♪ We're all so happy

[clears throat]

Listen, I'm sorry for speaking to you.
I assure you, I didn't mean to.

That's okay. It was my fault too.

But as long as we are speaking,
about the other day,

I'm sorry I was late.
It was inconsiderate of me.

Oh, I'm sorry I snapped at you.
I overreacted.

-No, I'm the one who should be sorry.
-I'm really sorry.

-I feel very sorry.
-I'm the sorriest, I really...

Wonderful! Now things are back to normal.
[chuckles]

Not quite.

-There's still just one little problem.
-What's that?

Who's going to help me eat
all the leftover fondue?

And help me eat all my leftover crumpets?

-Well, I have...
-I don't think...

Ah... gotta run.

-A little snicky snack? Mm-hm.
-I could eat. My place?

-No, my place.
-No, my place is much nicer.

You know, Dinah, I'm not going to let
Roz and Patty's feud ruin my party.

They're both my friends,
so I'm going to invite them both.

And if they both RSVP
that they're coming, fine.

They can work it out.

Who knows, they might even end up
speaking to each other again.

Besides, I've got more important things
to worry about.

Like deciding what to make for dessert.
