02x17 - A Change of Heart

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

Dinah, I need to use that ribbon.

Some help you turned out to be.

[laughs]

Where did I put my Valentine list?

Hm...

Oh, there it is.

Boy, it sure is long.

I don't see why I should make Valentines
for everyone in my class.

I don't necessarily like everyone...

so why should I sends so many Valentines?

Somehow, it doesn't seem very sincere.

Hm.

I need some time to think about this.

Hatter, were you in the middle
of something important

when you got the call from the queen?

I was sculpting sugar cubes
for my next tea party.

Dee and I were packing for a hiking trip,
but when your queen calls, you come.

What is this about?

This is five minutes late starting.

[attempting to play fanfare]

Presenting Her Most Royal Sovereign,

Her Most Imperial Majesty,

Her Most Queenly Monarch,

Her Most Regal Up Above Us-ness--

All right, Rabbit! They get it.
I wanna get this show on the road.

I'm sure you know
why I've called you here.

-I didn't do it.
-Do what?

-Name it, I didn't do it.
-He's very flexible.

Oh! Nobody did anything.
Hasn't anybody looked at the calendar?

-[clears throat]
-Oh.

It's Valentine's Day.

Oh!

I'm afraid we forgot, Your Majesty.

Forgot? But it's a day of receiving candy,
flowers and heart-shaped Valentines.

How can you forget that?

On Valentine's Day,

you're the only one who receives candy,
flowers and heart-shaped Valentines.

We have to give them to you.

So, what's your point?

Uh, surely you're not forgetting
that Her Majesty is the Queen of Hearts?

That includes Valentines.

Right. And Valentine's Day
is my red letter day.

In fact...

I made a music video about it.

Well? Even a queen has to keep up
with the times.

Hit it, Crystal.

Wow.

So call now to purchase copies.
Operators are standing by.

Gee, Your Majesty,

since we all forgot
it was Valentine's Day,

we don't have time
to figure out what to give you.

I have your assignments right here.

Assignments, Your Majesty?

So you know what to do
to show me how much you like me.

Rabbit, you'll give me flowers.

-Oh, uh, yes, Your Majesty.
-And this year, hold the aphids.

Hatter and Hare...

give me candy.

Oh, good. I have some right here.

-Jelly beans.
-Oh!

-Oh.
-Oh.

Sorry about the fuzz.

I don't want fuzzy jelly beans.

Just remember. You like me so much,

you are going to make me homemade candy.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Tweedles.

You make me a heart-shaped Valentine.

Follow these simple plans
and talk to the Rabbit about lumber.

-Plans?
-Lumber?

Yes. You know what they say,
if you like someone, say it with plywood.

[laughing weakly]

-Yeah.
-Oh.

And whatever you write,

make sure that it's sincere,
that you really mean it.

-Oh, yes.
-Yes. Of course.

Oh, and one more thing. This year,

you're giving me
a surprise Valentine's Day party.

-Oh!
-[chattering]

I'd better get this one.

Your Majesty,
if you already know about it,

how is it going to be a surprise?

How should I know?

Why do I have to come up with everything?

Remember last year.

I didn't feel cared about
on Valentine's Day.

So this year,
I'd better feel that you like me!

That you really like me!

Well, let's go make a heart.

Hi, Mr. Rabbit.

-Picking flowers for the queen?
-They're for Valentine's Day.

You do celebrate it.

I wasn't sure if it was a holiday
in Wonderland.

Are you kidding? With the queen,
it's an official holiday.

So I wouldn't have to go to school
if I lived here?

Afraid not, Alice. No.

The only one who gets anything
out of Valentine's Day is the queen.

Frankly,
it's not much fun for anybody else.

Oh. That's too bad.

Did you have fun making her a Valentine?

That wasn't my assignment.
She assigned that to the Tweedles.

I don't understand.

The queen orders you to give things to her
on Valentine's Day?

What's the part you don't understand?

That's not right.

You should give a Valentine
because you want to,

not because you have to.

Eh, well, tell it to the queen.

[gasps] On second thought, no. Don't.

And I think that everyone
should get Valentines,

not just the queen.

Well, actually, Alice--

I quite agree.
I must admit, I've often daydreamed

of a cute little cottontail
handing me a Valentine that says...

"Bunny, be mine."

[Alice] Mr. Rabbit.

Mr. Rabbit.

Yes, Bunny Lips?

Ah! Oh. Ooh!

I'm sorry.

Were you saying something?

There must be some way

to make Valentine's Day enjoyable
for everyone.

Oh, yeah. There's no reason
why you can't enjoy yourself.

The queen hasn't given you an assignment.

-Yes, but--
-Although,

run, skip, jump, cavort, have fun...

while the rest of us wish the queen
a very happy Valentine's Day.

-[watch ticking]
-Ah!

Goodbye.

[clamoring and laughing]

So, what kind of taffy
should we make the queen?

Why not Turkish taffy?

-Too common?
-That...

-and our turbans are at the cleaners.
-Mm-hm.

Well, then let's consult
my special cookbook.

"Daffy taffy or what to make
when your turbans are at the cleaners."

How about tagalong taffy?

-Nobody likes a tagalong.
-Oh, yeah.

Uh, treacly taffy?

-Too sweet. Yeah.
-Too--? Oh, yeah.

Uh, tacky taffy?

-Why not?
-Why not?

[both] Why not indeed?

[taffy groaning]

[grunts] It's time to take the taffy out.

[grunts]

It won't come out?

What was your first clue?

A few taps on the side
with a hammer should loosen the taffy.

[scat singing]

Stand back!

Well...

taffy's out of the bowl.

I don't think we can eat this.

Of course not. It fell on the ground.

[laughing]

We can't lose with this batch of taffy.

-Indeed-y-do.
-We followed the recipe to a T.

Oh!

Well... Oh, it's cooled.

So we're ready for the taffy pull.

Since we're behind schedule,
we'd better pull a fast one.

-Ah!
-Ah!

Then let's do...

Yep!

the taffy tango.

-Yeah.

And scissors cuts paper.

And rock smashes scissors.

-Rocks.
-Hi, Mr. Caterpillar.

I love that game. Rock-paper-scissors.

Wait. The whole point
is to surprise the other person.

How can you play against yourself?

Easy. My left hands never know
what my right hands are doing.

Well, I'm surprised you're not working
on your assignment.

I didn't get one.

You see, this caterpillar
sort of wiggled out of it this year.

How did you do that?

I simply told the queen
my heart wasn't in it.

I wish I'd think of a way
to show the queen

that there's a nicer way
to celebrate Valentine's Day.

Well, don't give up.

You never know
when a great thought is going to--

Ah...

Just listen to this story.

Once, there was a very poor woman
who lived on a farm.

She spent every penny on a chicken,
hoping to sell the eggs at market.

She was thrilled
when the chicken laid its first egg.

But then something strange happened.

Inside the egg was a small piece of paper,
just like in a fortune cookie.

On the paper was a great thought.

It said,
"A penny saved is a penny earned."

So the woman saved her pennies.
And soon, she was no longer poor.

The chicken laid more eggs
with more great thoughts.

And the woman's life got better
and better.

Soon, people came from far and wide
to see this very special chicken.

One fateful day, a Hollywood producer came
and offered the chicken a talk show.

Once the chicken was gone,

the woman was afraid her life
would stop getting better

since she no longer had the chicken
to give her great thoughts.

"Oh, well," she thought.
"No use crying over spilt milk."

Suddenly, she realized
she'd come up with a great thought

and she had done it on her own.

And indeed she had,
for as the woman realized,

it's not the chicken,
it's the thought that counts.

Hey, wait a minute, Mr. Caterpillar.

I just hatched a great thought of my own.

A plan to show the queen
the true meaning of Valentine's Day?

Eggs-actly.

[laughing]

Whoever heard of a Valentine made of wood?

-What do you write on it?
-Beware of splinters.

You'd think she'd want something soft,
like a heart-shaped pillow,

-not a wooden heart.
-Why?

She's hard-hearted enough
to keep Valentine's Day to herself.

She just wants a cedar jewel box
shaped like a heart.

Right. The extra lumber's in case
we make a mistake.

She knows just because
somebody gives you something big,

doesn't mean they like you any more.

After all, how do you measure
how much someone likes you?

The queen measures it at seven feet.

That's our queen.
She figures the bigger, the better.

I guess we'd better hurry up
and start on this Valentine.

We need to leave time
for the termite inspection.

-Seven feet now.
-Got it.

Hello, Alice. What's up?

-[laughs]
-[purrs]

Besides me.

Oh. Hi, Mr. Cat. I'm making a Valentine.

[gasps] A Valentine? Tsk, tsk, tsk.

The queen should be ashamed.
Putting a mere child to work.

I'm not doing it because she ordered me.

Hm, then color this cat curious.
Why are you doing it?

It's a secret.

Oh, come on, Alice.
Don't you know a cat can keep a secret?

Well, come to think of it,

I do tell Dinah all my secrets,
and she never tells anybody.

Yeah, there you go. Tell me. Tell me.

-You won't let the cat out of the bag?
-Uh-- Hm...

Depends.
Why is he in there in the first place?

Letting the cat out of the bag
is an idiom.

It means letting the secret slip out.

Oh! Well, then don't worry.
That cat will stay in the bag.

Okay. I'll tell you why I'm making this.

-[whispering indistinctly]
-Hm. [gasps] Hm. [purrs]

Why, Alice, you really are a sly puss.

[both laugh]

Gee.

I've never seen so many glum faces
at a Valentine's Day party before.

It isn't exactly
everybody's favorite holiday.

It is becoming everyone's
favorite holiday to be out of town.

[Red Queen]
I'm coming out to relax in my garden now,

so if there's a surprise,
everybody better hide.

[Red Queen humming]

-Surprise!
-Oh, wait a minute!

How do you expect me to be surprised
when I walk out here and see Hare's ears?

Aren't you surprised
he washed behind them?

Oh, I don't care.

I want to be surprised!
Now find a hiding place and do it again.

[Red Queen humming]

Surprise!

A surprise party for me?

Why, I had no idea.

Happy Valentine's Day, Your Majesty.

Flowers. Oh, Rabbit, you shouldn't have.

I shouldn't have?
I thought my assignment was flowers.

Of course, it was.
You know how to k*ll a heartfelt moment.

Oh. Sorry, Your Majesty.

Sweets for the sweet, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Hatter and Hare.

You're making me feel
like a schoolgirl again.

Take out a sheet of paper
and number from one to ten.

Remember, keep your eyes
on your own paper.

Oh, stop that!

I'm losing patience with all of you.

Tweedles, where's my Valentine?

It's coming, Your Majesty.

Dum, bring on the Valentine.

That's it. Here. To your right. Perfect!

-Let her down.
-Oh!

"Happy Valentine's Day, Your Majesty." Oh!

Tweedles.

Why, I'm so overwhelmed
that-- that-- that...

I forgive you
for making it six feet, 11 inches

rather than seven feet.

Oh, what a beautiful
and wonderful Valentine's Day.

And so unexpected.

Thank you all.

[Dee] Yes.

Excuse me, Your Majesty.

-I have a Valentine for you.
-[gasping]

A Valentine?

But I didn't order you to make me one.

I made it because I like you.

[gasping]

Oh!

I'm not falling for that line.

But it's true. Just read it.

"To my favorite queen,

please be my Valentine.
Your friend, Alice."

Uh, what are you looking for?

I'm looking for where she just wrote
"Just kidding."

I'd never write that, Your Majesty.

This Valentine is sincere?

You gave it to me because you wanted to?

Oh, then this is my favorite Valentine.

Your Majesty, Alice's Valentine is nice,
but it's not seven feet tall.

Six feet, 11 inches.

You two only made that
because I ordered you to.

In fact, that's the only reason
you give me things on Valentine's Day.

You never gave us the chance
to give you something on our own.

If I didn't order you
to give me something,

you still would?

Maybe not.

But at least give us the chance.

See? That's why I order everyone
to give me things on Valentine's Day.

I'm afraid I won't get anything.

But, Your Majesty,
you can't order people to like you.

Why not? It worked in the past.

It means more
if you know people give you a Valentine

because they want to.

Which is I made Valentines for all of you.

[clamoring]

-Oh, Alice.
-For me?

Oh! I'm surprised at you.
You used to be such a nice girl.

Now you're handing out Valentines
to other people on my day.

Sorry, Your Majesty,

but your subjects would have
more fun on Valentine's Day

if they got Valentines too.

I bet they'd give you tons of Valentines.

In that case,
I have an announcement to make.

I've had a change of heart.

Oh!

-Well, then maybe you should lie down.
-No.

A change of heart just means
I've changed my mind.

[clears throat] From now on,
Valentine's Day will be for everyone.

[cheering]

Your Majesty, you're all heart.
