02x07 - Gowns and Roses

[upbeat music playing]

Guess who's running for class president?

Yours truly. That means me.

So I have to make some signs
to remind people to vote for me.

"Don't forget, vote for Alice."

Uh-oh. Now, where do I put the apostrophe?

I always have trouble with contractions.

You know. When you put
two words together to make one?

Like "do" and "not" become "don't."

Boy. How would it look

if the class president didn't know where
to put the apostrophe in a contraction?

Oh.

I need time to think about this.

[shouting]

What is, Your Majesty?

These ads. Just look at them.

-[gasps] I quite agree, Your Majesty.
-Hm.

There's no place in a family magazine
to show bunny boxer shorts.

Not those ads, these.

Oh, those are just ads for dresses.
Not very pretty ones.

They're downright ugly.

That doesn't matter.
Look whose name is on the label.

The Queen of Diamonds?

I didn't know she designed dresses.

She doesn't. She puts her name on them
and they sell like hotcakes.

Regular or short stack?

Oh, who cares?

The point is it's not just
the Queen of Diamonds. Look.

The Queen of Clubs and Spades
are doing the same thing.

My, that is shocking and so common.

I'll say. The queen is supposed
to wear dresses, not make them.

I should say so.

It shouldn't matter to a queen

that simply putting her name on a dress
will make her oodles of money.

You'll never see this queen
put a name on a bunch of dresses

just for oodles and oodles
of money? Rabbit.

How fast can I put a dress line out
with the Queen of Hearts on the label?

You said the whole affair was shocking.

It's shocking that I'm not
getting my share of oodles of money.

-Hello.
-[Red Queen] Ooh, Alice.

Ah, guess what?

I've decided to put out
my own line of dresses.

How exciting.

-Who's going to design them?
-I will, of course.

You, Your Majesty?

[Rabbit laughing]

I mean, what a wonderful idea. Yes.

Why settle for someone else's
ugly old dresses

when you can put your name on your own?

-Could I rephrase that?
-No.

There's no time.

Rabbit, I need fabric,
pin cushions and pinking shears.

And I'll need a mannequin.

Your Majesty, if you're designing dresses,
won't you need a "womannequin"?

No. A mannequin is a man or woman dummy.

Just because I didn't know
it was a man or woman,

there's no reason to call me dummy.

She didn't call you dummy.
A mannequin is a dummy.

I'll show those other queens...

and my fashion show
won't be just a regular fashion show.

Mine will be on television
for all of Wonderland to see.

-Rabbit!
-Yes--

Yes, Your Majesty?

I want you to find me a beautiful model
for my fashion show.

Oh? My pleasure, Your Majesty.

From now on,
when people think quality clothes,

they'll think Queen of Hearts,

fashions fit for a queen.

And colors galore ♪

♪ Ribbons and ruffles

Hare, I've finally come up with an answer
to the question people ask most often.

Oh. Where can you get a great chili dog?

Okay, so it's the second
most asked question.

In a contraction,
where do you put the apostrophe?

I usually put mine in a trophy case.

No, no, no. Not a trophy. Apostrophe.

You know, that little mark you use
when you contract two words into one?

Oh, apostrophe.
That's the hardest part of contractions.

Not anymore. I have invented
the Contraction Contraption.

Hatter, I am impressed.

After you see how this works,

you'll be able to save valuable time
by saying, "I'm impressed."

Here's how it works. I take the words
"you" and "are" and-- Yeah.

I feed them into the top of the machine...

-Yes. You, are.
-Yeah.

And I go, one, two, three.

Here we are.

The contraction of the words,
you and are, is

"yo'ure."

That's not right.
The apostrophe is in the wrong place.

This contraption
is not contracting correctly.

-Oh.
-Wait, we've got smoke. Okay.

Hello, Mr. Rabbit.

Oh, hi.

If you're here for a contraction,
you'll have to wait for repairs.

I'm not. Or should I say, I am not.

Yes.
The Queen is designing her own dresses,

and she sent me out
to get her a mannequin.

Wait. If the Queen is making dresses,
won't she need a "womannequin"?

Oh, no, because a mannequin
is a man or woman dummy.

Just because I didn't know
it was a man or woman

is no reason to call me a dummy.

Oh, no. He didn't call you a dummy.
A mannequin is a dummy.

And I just happen to have one
up in the attic.

-Shall we?
-All right.

Excuse me?

Are you sure you have a mannequin?

Of course we do.
It must have been filed incorrectly.

Did we file it under M, for mannequin?

M... M-- No.

How about D, for dummy? No.

Ah, here it is.

It was under L, for lost.

Whoa. Of course.

Oh, Hare, I'm so happy we found her.
I feel like dancing.

Why don't you?

-Hello.
-Who's the lady?

Oh, that's no lady, that's my mannequin.

And, yes, even though it's a woman,
it's still called a mannequin.

I knew that. I'm no dummy.

I'm taking this mannequin to the palace,

so Her Majesty can use her
as a dressmaker's model.

The Queen designing dresses?

Talk about your fashion risk.

Shh.

Are you saying that since Her Majesty
only knows about being a queen,

she shouldn't try to learn something new?

[speaking in French]

In English,
that means "just the opposite."

Just listen to this story.

"Once there was a dog named Julian,

who wouldn't do the same tricks
other dogs did.

Julian wanted to do magic tricks.

Julian studied very hard to be a magician.

Finally, his hard work paid off.

Julian tried his magic trick on the dogs
in the neighborhood.

Soon, Julian was playing
to packed dog houses.

But after a while, there were fewer dogs
in the audience because, by now...

they'd all seen his one trick.

A friend popped up to point out that
doing the same trick all the time

was getting a little old."

But this is the only trick I know.
I don't think I can learn anymore.

[Caterpillar] "His friend reminded him
that the magical thing about learning

is you can always learn something new.

So Julian decided to give it a try.

And sure enough, he was successful again.

Proving, once and for all,
that you can teach an old dog new tricks."

So then maybe the Queen really can learn
to design a collection of dresses.

Stranger things have happened.

Okay, Rabbit. These are the sketches
I've made for my dresses.

Now, I want you to take this fabric

and make my designs come alive.
Any questions?

Uh, just one, Your Majesty.
Is this sketch right side up?

Of course it's right side up.
Now get to work. Thrill me.

Oh, yes. Yes. Yes.

[groaning]

Voila.

I'm not thrilled yet.

I'm so sorry, Your Majesty.

[humming]

Oh.

-[clearing throat]
-Oh.

Oh!

-Voila?
-Hmm.

I'll tell you one thing.
This dress making is hard work.

I'm exhausted.

-Alice, what do you think?
-It's certainly original.

Oh, thank you, Alice.

Just think how great it'll look
in a fashion show

on a beautiful model.

-You did find me a model, didn't you?
-Yes, it's all arranged.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

We're covering your upcoming fashion show
for the Wonderland Beat.

How about a sneak preview
of one of your designs?

-No photos. No.
-Shoo, go away, you two.

Her Majesty is not giving
any advanced pictures to the paper.

You'll have to watch the fashion show
on TV, like everyone else.

Just a minute, you two.

As a matter of fact,
I would like your opinion.

[both clearing throat]

What do you think of my dress?

To be honest, Your Majesty,
your design is a little... plain.

Plain?

What would you do to make it less plain?

Well, every designer
has a gimmick, you know,

a new trick that nobody else
has ever tried before.

Right. Give them a gimmick.

♪ Try something different
Try something new ♪

♪ That no one's ever done but you ♪

♪ A trademark you can call your own ♪

♪ Maybe a pencil or a telephone ♪

♪ Give them a gimmick
Your own special brand ♪

♪ That's what it takes
To make them understand ♪

♪ It's gotta be unique
You know what I mean ♪

♪ Give them a gimmick
That shows these clothes ♪

♪ Are designed by the Queen ♪

♪ Polo ponies and alligators ♪

♪ Have already been used
Be an innovator ♪

♪ You need add your own personal touch ♪

♪ Yeah, something
That everyone likes very much ♪

♪ Give him a gimmick
Your own special brand ♪

♪ That's what it takes
To make them understand ♪

♪ Something unique
You know what I mean ♪

♪ Give them a gimmick
That shows ♪

♪ These clothes are designed
By the Queen ♪

Okay. So I have to have a gimmick,
but I can't think of one.

Your Majesty,
I have just one word for you.

-Plastics?
-No.

Roses. Red ones.

That's a great idea, Your Majesty.

All your dresses can have roses on them.

Oh, so whenever people see a dress
with a red rose,

they'll know it was designed
by the Queen of Hearts.

I love it.

-Oh, yes!
-Now, everybody out.

-I have to get back to the drawing board.
-Right.

[beeping]

What is that you are tinkering with?

"You are." Sounds like you're ready
for a handy time-saving contraction.

It's my Contraction Contraption,
makes two words into one.

Oh, contraction.

By any chance,
does your contraption show you

where to put the apostrophe
in a contraction?

We were having trouble with that part,

but I think we have
all the bugs out of it.

[insects buzzing]

Now we have all the bugs out of it.

How true that is.
Alice, did you happened to bring with you

two words that you'd like to see combined?

I did want to know
where the apostrophe goes

when you put the words
"do" and "not" together.

But I didn't actually bring
the words with me.

Oh, that's okay.
We're never at a loss for words.

Hare, the contraction of the words
"do" and "not" is...

There we go. One, two, three.

Here we go. Here we are.

"Don't."

With the apostrophe
taking the place of the O in "not."

Oh, so the rule is the apostrophe
takes the place of the missing letters.

Thanks, Mr. Hatter.

That's so easy to remember,
who needs the Contraction Contraption?

Well-- Well...

Maybe with a few adjustments,
we could turn it into a waffle maker.

[insect buzzing]

Where is that rabbit?

[both shouting]

Oh, Rabbit. My fashion show
is on the air in one minute

and the model hasn't showed up.

The agency assured me she'd be here.

Well, she better be.

I can't have a fashion show
without a model.

[regal music playing]

There's the music. The show is starting.

I'll go out there and stall.

Just remember,
someone better model my designs.

[audience applauding]

The Queen's fashion show is starting.

Dormouse,
I'm surprised you're watching this.

We had no idea
you were such a clothes horse.

I'm not, I'm a clothes mouse.

I'm delighted to welcome you all here
to my first ever fashion show.

I'm so excited about
my Queen of Hearts fashions.

I can't wait to show them to you.

Unfortunately, I have to wait.

Oh!

[shouts]

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

-Rabbit.
-[shouts]

Where's the model?
We'd like to get a photo of her.

The model hasn't shown up.

I was hoping for one of those dramatic
backstage shots.

You know, the nail-biting,
the sweaty palms, the fear.

And why don't you photograph me?

-[phone ringing]
-Oh.

-Hello?
-[woman] Hello, Rabbit?

Yes, this is Rabbit.

I'm sorry, we must have a bad connection.

I could've sworn you said the model
was sick and wouldn't be here today.

That's what I said.

Could you hold, please? Thank you.

[groans]

Hello? Yes, I'm sure he heard
the message this time.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear...
Oh, thank you.

[shouts] She's not coming!
The model is not coming!

Look.

You have to find another model and fast.

What size do you wear
in a strapless evening gown?

Oh, no. I don't do evening gown.

But somebody's got to model these clothes.

Remember to smile for the camera.

[laughing]

-Cat, where's Rabbit?
-Hmm?

He just left with a rack full of dresses.

So the model finally got here.

Well, not exactly, Your Majesty.

All I want to know, is there someone
back there putting on my clothes?

Oh, yes.

Good. Then the show can go on.

I'm gonna take my seat.

I wouldn't miss this for the world.

[audience applauding]

Oh, we're all set to go now.

And this first little item will be welcome
at any spring fling.

Bright colors, simple lines

and, of course, a red rose.
How perfect for...

[audience laughing]

A bunny-- Funny day.

Rabbit.

Oh, my goodness.
Mr. Rabbit's modeling the dress.

I can't watch this.

Well, I don't know.
The Rabbit has pretty nice legs.

It's all that skating.

And in the fall,
you'll want to make dressing warm.

-[audience gasping]
-The Rabbit, uh...

Rabbit in this stylish ensemble.

And when the warm summer weather comes,

you want to furry-- Hurry to the beach

and make big splash.

And, finally, my last creation.

Probably forever.

The perfect holiday fashion
for the new ears...

Uh, New Year's.

Rabbit.

Alice, I'm ruined.

Who's gonna buy my clothes
after seeing the Rabbit wear them?

-But you are already got one order.
-Big deal. Rabbit's mother.

Uh, you're not still angry with me,
are you, Your Majesty?

Oh, Rabbit. You fell off the stage

into the lap of the fashion critic
of the Gazette.

I am sorry. It's not easy squeezing
bunny feet into high heel.

-Oh.
-Your Majesty.

-Your clothing's a smash.
-Listen to these reviews.

"Breathtaking. A sensation! Two paws up."

"It was a stroke of genius for the Queen
of Hearts to use the Rabbit model."

[shouts]

"Think how good her clothes
will look on you,

if they looked that good on a fat rabbit.

Fat rabbit?

Wow. Those words must make you happy.

I've decided there's something
more important than selling dresses.

What's that, Your Majesty?

Rabbit's friendship.

He went on that stage
wearing those clothes

even though he knew he'd look silly,

foolish, goofy. Buffoonish.

Yes, Your Majesty.
I think, we all get the idea.

So I guess Mr. Rabbit is the best
kind of model, a model friend.

One that all friends should be like.

I learned a rule for contractions

that's as easy to remember as my slogan.

The apostrophe takes
the place of the letters you leave out.

So "do not" becomes

D-O-N.

The apostrophe takes
the place of the O and T.

Won't I make a smart president?
