02x18 - On a Roll

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

-Enter.
-[video game chiming]

Go, go, go.

Yes! All right.

[scratching]

What's that scratching noise?

[Dinah meows]

Sorry to keep you waiting, Dinah.
I didn't know it was you until you meowed.

[meows]

Gee, it must be tough
not being able to get through a door

whenever you want to.

Most people can just turn the handle
and walk right in.

Some people have doorways
they can walk through

without even turning a handle.

[cheering and laughing]

Hi, everyone! What's up?

We're practicing
for the Wonderland triathlon.

What's a triathlon?

Triathlon.

"Athlon" meaning athletic.

"Tri" meaning...

Try... your very best.
Hare, give me your best shot.

Uh, I hate to tell you this,
but it's called a triathlon

because it's an athletic contest
with three events.

"Tri" meaning three.

Well...

I sure wish they told us
before we went through

-that song and dance.
-Yeah.

-What three events?
-Oh, basketball, badminton

and a five-kilometer run.

Boy, it sounds like fun.

May I compete?

Oh, sure. We don't mind if you try to win,

if you don't mind
competing against last year's champ.

-Hurricane Hatter.
-Wow, that's quite a trophy, Mr. Hatter.

Yes, it is.
Can't wait to win it again this year.

Special delivery for the Mad Hatter.

Oh! [chuckles] Thank you, Rabbit.

Oh! Hey, it's from my favorite cousin,
Hedda Hatter.

-Oh!
-Let's hear what she has to say.

[stammers]

She's arriving today
for her first ever visit to Wonderland.

-[chattering]
-Is your cousin much like you?

Oh, very much.
Except she's not as tall and she's a girl.

-And she's a much better speller.
-Oh, yeah.

Oh, and she gets around in a wheelchair.

Oh! [stammers]

His cousin has a handicap?

[laughs]
Rabbit, all Hatters have a cap handy.

Not a cap handy!

A handicap.

Something that makes it hard
to do things we do easily.

I don't think people in wheelchairs
like to be called handicapped.

[gasps]

Well, if we're not supposed
to say "handicapped", what do we say?

Got me. All her letter says is,

"Don't worry about the wheelchair.
It shouldn't be any problem.

Though I am concerned about the stairs."

Oh, that makes sense. Just because
she's different from you and me

doesn't mean
she wants everybody staring at her.

No problem. Now we know,
we'll be careful not to stare at her.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

I just had a thought.

If Hedda sees us competing
in the Wonderland triathlon,

she's gonna feel bad she can't join in
because of her wheelchair.

Maybe just to be polite,
we should cancel the games this afternoon.

Good idea, Alice.

That way, you guys
won't have to lose to me until tomorrow.

Oh, please.

Your Majesty. I've just heard
that the Hatter's cousin, Hedda Hatter,

is arriving on an afternoon train.

Another Hatter, huh?

Hm...

She may have designs for royal hats
that are better than the Hatter's.

-Rabbit, invite her for a tea.
-[stammering] Oh, yeah-- Oh!

But, Your Majesty...

I think there's something
about Hedda that you should know.

You see, she's not just a Hatter,
but, uh, she's a Hatter in a wheelchair.

So? If she designs beautiful hats,

I don't care if she does it standing up,
sitting down or lying down.

-Oh!
-In fact...

I think it's great
that she doesn't let being in a wheelchair

stop her from doing what she loves to do.

[laughs]

I like a person
who can roll with the punches.

[Hatter scat singing]

Say, Hatter.

What brings you here today?

My legs.

[laughs] I mean it looks
like you're here to greet someone

who's especially fond of flowers.

Oh, my cousin's
especially fond of licorice sticks,

only they don't make
a very pretty bouquet.

[laughs]

Anyway, I wanted to be at the station
when she got here so I could push her.

Push her? Isn't pushing rude?

Not if the person is in a wheelchair.

You see my cousin's
not able to do things like most of us.

She's disabled.

Funny.
I always thought of you as disabled.

-Me?
-I know you're not able to do this.

Or even this.

Of course I can't do those things.
You and I do things differently.

Oh, then maybe
you're not disabled after all,

just differently abled.

Hm. Like your cousin.

-Oh! Hedda!
-Cousin!

-Flowers.
-Oh!

Hatter salute.

-Ha! Ha!
-h*! Ha!

Waka-waka-waka!

[Hare] Ahem.

Oh, Hare. Come on in.
I want you to meet my cousin.

Oh.

Now, remember, when you say hello,
she has trouble with "stares."

I remember. I won't stare at her.

Hare, Hedda. Hedda, Hare.

So nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.
-Yes.

What are you staring at?

Staring? Oh, I'm not staring at anything.

I look foolishly off into the distance,
glassy-eyed and seemingly without purpose.

How true that is.

Now, remember, Dum, whatever you do,

don't make the Hatter's cousin feel bad
by staring at her.

You don't have to remind me.
I may be Dum, but I'm not stupid.

Hi, I'm Tweedle Dee.

And Tweedle Dum.

And you must be Hedda.

Are you guessing?

[laughing nervously]

Hi. I'm Alice. It's so nice to see you.

Hi. I'm over here.

[laughing]

Your cousin has a great sense of humor.

I'm not just saying that, wheelie.
I mean, really.

Well, I think my cousin
is tired from her long trip.

Yes. Yes!

I think we better let Hedda unpack,
put her feet up.

I mean--

Let's just say it's been
awfully nice meeting you.

-Take care.
-Bye!

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Well, what a great bunch of friends, huh?

They all seem very nice,
but none of them could look me in the eye.

Oh, Hedda,
I think you're exaggerating just a bit.

Hello. You must be Hedda.

Have a great visit.

Uh, let me show you to your room.

-Cousin.
-Yeah?

I can manage my own wheelchair.

Now, what is it with your friends?

Did they feel uncomfortable
being around someone in a wheelchair?

Well, Hedda, you did write in your letter
that you had trouble with stares.

They just tried very hard
not to stare at you.

Not those kinds of stares.

Those kinds of stairs.

You have to remember,
if you're in a wheelchair,

it's not exactly easy rolling up stairs.

Oh, stares and stairs.

Ah!

Well, there you go.

You see, my friends don't have a problem
with wheelchairs, just h*m*.

Guys, are you two sure
you don't want me to lend a hand?

I have plenty. Ha, ha! Get it?

And don't look at me.
I just had my nails done.

No, that's okay. We're nearly finished.

Just a few more swings of the hammer.

Okay, Hedda, it's all set.

-Let her roll!
-All right.

Let me get that for you.

-Go around and go over to--
-What do I need,

a note from home to convince you that
I don't need help pushing my wheelchair?

-Do you have a note from home?
-Of course.

There you go. All right. Uh...

"Hedda is quite able
to push herself in her wheelchair.

Besides, if you don't let her,
she may just run over your toes."

Signed, Hedda's mother.

-Okay.
-[Dum] All right.

-[Dee] Come on, Hedda.
-[Dee] All right.

-You know what?
-Get on this-- Yeah.

-All right. Yeah! Yeah!
-All right. Yeah.

[Hedda] Oh.

Um...

Maybe I should have mentioned in my note
that sometimes people in wheelchairs

have a hard time
getting through regular doorways.

Well, surely, you don't think
your favorite cousin wouldn't know that.

Dee, you wanna get the door?

Be right back.

[sawing]

[wood cracking]

[whistling] Oh! Uh...

Yeah, well, I--

I, uh, had a doorway
put in for you right out the garden.

It's just your size, so...

You go around, go through the doorway.

It was put in last week for you.

The books are for my cousin
who's visiting.

She's in a wheelchair.
She can't really do much, except read.

Wouldn't she have more fun
watching the Wonderland triathlon?

Oh, we postponed that.

Think how bad she'd feel watching
all of us running around, playing games.

[Caterpillar] Hm...

I think you'd better listen to this story.

Once there was a young lion named Elton.

Elton was special because his father,
King George, was the king of beasts.

Everyone expected Elton
to follow in his father's footsteps.

But Elton didn't really want
to be the next king.

Elton wanted to play the piano.
And he was very good at it.

All the beasts loved
to listen to Elton play the piano.

And Elton loved to play.

Then one day,
King George decided to retire.

It was time for Elton
to take his place on the throne.

Elton was not very good at being king.

And worst of all,
Elton had no time to play the piano.

Hi.

Fortunately, King George was very wise.

He could see
that Elton did not want to be king.

"I want you to be happy, my son,"
said King George.

"Go back to playing the piano."

"But who will rule the kingdom?"
asked Elton.

"I've decided to let each beast
take a turn at being king,"

his father replied. So everyone was happy.

The kingdom was ruled
by a bunch of beasts,

King George was free to retire,

and lucky Elton could play the piano
to his heart's content.

So you see, Elton's father

should not have assumed
his son wanted to be king.

So, what's your point?

[groans]

My point is
maybe you should ask your cousin

what she wants to do
while she's in Wonderland.

Oh.

Hedda.

Oh, I can't wait
to see your new hat designs.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty,
try to say a few nice things.

Remember, designing hats
is all she can do stuck in that chair.

This is nice.

Oh! I like this one too.

This is beautiful.

I don't think I've ever seen a design
as stunning as this one.

Hedda, you design hats
even better than your cousin.

Uh, you're just saying that, aren't you?

Oh, I mean
you're not just saying that, are you?

Oh, of course not.

How fast can you make this
with the fruit on it?

Faster than you can say "Peter Piper
picked a peck of pickled peppers."

Peter Piper pickles pecker--
Oh, no, that's not right.

Peter Piper pecks a-- Wait a minute.

Peter Piper pickles--
Oh, I'll never be able to say that.

Don't worry,
I'll have your new hat ready for you

-by this afternoon.
-Oh, delightful.

I'll get these.
No need to wheel yourself over here.

Oh! Oh!

I'll pick these up.
We don't want you to lean forward

and fall out of your chair.

Oh!

Oh...

I need you to do something for me.

-Of course. Just name it.
-Please stop trying to help me so much.

Let's get a little tea for you here.

Let me help you. Let me break that up.

Get that all set for you.
I'd get that on you.

And we'll just do-- Oh, I'm sorry.

-Cousin.
-Mm-hm?

I've been trying to tell you
I don't need your help.

How do you think I manage
when you're not around?

You have a crusty
but faithful manservant named Cecil?

No.

I do things for myself.

-You do...?
-Look, I know you mean well,

but people in wheelchairs
wanna be treated like real people,

not wheel people.

Wheel? Oh, ha! Hey, I like that.

And if you dress up,
you can be high-wheel people.

And if you go to an amusement park,
you can be Ferris wheel people. Get it?

Cousin. Can you just see me for once
and not the wheelchair?

Oh, okay.

I'll try.

Now, let's have a quiet little tea party.

Some relaxing reading,
perhaps some soothing music--

What were you thinking of doing

before you found out
someone in a wheelchair was coming?

Oh. Oh, nothing really,
just a little unimportant event,

the Wonderland triathlon.

-Triathlon?
-Yeah.

-Don't you dare cancel it because of me.
-You'd wanna watch it?

Watch it?

I'm gonna compete.

Grea-- You--?
But what chance do you have of winning?

Whether I win or lose is not the point.

I have every right to enter
like everyone else. I'm going to.

You--? Wha--?

Wha--? Where you go--? You're going to--?

Well.

Right. All right. All right.

Oh, Hedda, Hedda.

Oh, so good to see you.

As promised, Your Majesty,
one fruit-covered hat.

Oh! Oh, and how lovely. Wait a minute.
Somebody took a bite out of this apple.

Sorry,
I got a little hungry on the way over.

What?

Oh, Rabbit. All right, come on, come on.

Take your places, everybody,
for the Wonderland triathlon.

-All right.
-Everybody, let's go.

[chattering]

I still feel funny competing
against somebody in a wheelchair.

Don't worry. She'll drop out
after she does poorly in basketball.

[bugle blowing]

-All right. All right.
-Here we go.

All right. Let the games begin.

-[whistle blows]
-[yelling and cheering]

[whistle blows]

[chattering and cheering]

-That was two, two, two. Yeah!
-You got it.

Go ahead. Gonna get that. Oh!

At the end of the first round,
the Mad Hatter is in first place.

His cousin Hedda
is close behind in second.

Don't worry, she'll drop out
after she does poorly in badminton.

-Do it.
-Get it, get it.

-Get it.
-Go, go, go.

[cheering]

At the end of round two,
Hatter and Hedda are tied for first place.

She's great.

Let me guess. She'll drop out when
she's beat the pants off of all of us.

Well, congratulations, Hedda.

You and I seem to be tied for first place.
But you're not really thinking

of competing in the running part
of the triathlon.

-Are you?
-As a matter of fact, yes.

I have my special way of running.
You don't mind, do you?

Mind?

Why would I mind?

Go right ahead.

And may the best Hatter win.

And the winner of the Wonderland triathlon
is Hedda Hatter.

-Yes.
-Now, let me see.

This is so exciting.
Last year, when the Hatter won,

we all thought that was a great example
of sporting ability. But next to you,

the Hatter's showing was,
well, insignificant.

Trivial. Small potatoes.
Nothing to write home about--

-Okay, Rabbit, we get the idea.
-[Rabbit] Oh, yeah.

That was terrific, Hedda.
I knew you could do lots of things,

but I didn't know winning a triathlon
was one of them.

Yes.

Boy, I'll never again
look at a person in a wheelchair

and assume they're unable
to do all the things I like to do.

Ahem.

There's still a little matter of a trophy
to be awarded by last year's winner.

Congratulations, Hedda.

[cheering and laughing]

You see, cousin, I just wanted
to be treated the same as you.

That's what I like to see, Hedda,
a person who can roll with the punches.
