(squeaking)

ALICE: Dodo Dilemma.

(mome raths squeaking)

ALICE: This looks like the perfect spot
for a beach date.

And the perfect towel.

Whoa, hold on.
This is definitely the splash zone.

And we white rabbits
do not like getting wet.

-(meows)
-(chuckles)

Neither do Dinah.

We'll stay nice and dry right over...

-uh, here.
-Uh...

Fergie? Watch out!

-(water splashes)
-(both exclaim)

Oh, now my ears are soggy.

(gasps)
Soggy ears, you say?

I got just the thing to fluff your fur.

The dodo dance.

(humming)

Dodo dance?

Sure. I'm a dodo bird, aren't I?

-Are you?
-Of course she is.

Just like you're a Fergie,
he's a Hattie and I'm an Alice.

(chuckling)

-Hello.
-Pleased to meet you.

Jojo Dodo of the SS Toucan.

My Pop and I just came ashore to find...

Land-ho!

(chuckles)
Ahoy, Wonderlandlubber.

(gasps)
Is that the Captain Dodo?

(meows)

(gasps)
Sailor of the Seven Teacups.

Skipper of the Teardrop Sea?

And a pretty good bedtime story reader.

If I do say so myself.

Oh, carrots, now I have soggy ears
in front of the captain.

Oh, don't you worry those whiskers.

When you've been at sea
as long as we have,

you'll learn a thing or two
about drying off.

BOTH: ♪ Flap, flap, flap your wings ♪

♪ Clap, clap, clap your hands ♪

-♪ Do, do, do the, huh? ♪
-♪ Do, do, do the... ♪

Whoa!

Oh, interesting move.

(grunting)

Oh, but flying is one dance move
Hatter's can't do.

I thought dodo birds couldn't fly.

Oh, we can't.

(exclaiming)

Oh... Shivering shipwrecks, is it...
It can't be.

But could it be?

Oh, it is!

Wait, what is it?

BOTH: The Upsy Dodo Downsies.

(gasps)

It happens to little dodo chicks
when they're at sea too long.

Maybe I could just stay upside down.

(humming)

-Whoa!
-(exclaims)

(water splashes)

Oh, whiskers. Not you again!

Oh, I feel all topsy turvy.

How exactly do you get rid
of the Upsy Dodo Downsies?

Hmm... What if we all turn upside down?

Then Jojo will be right-side up.
(chuckles)

HATTIE: Whoa, whoa!

-Timber!
-Hey!

Any ideas, Captain?

There is one thing that can help.

(water splashes)

This should get Jojo back in shipshape.

Dodo pepper soup?

Oh, that's a dodo specialty.

One of the oldest recipes
in the captain's log.

It makes you feel warm and cozy,
like the best hug.

Like this?

(chuckling)

Aye. It's salty like the sea,

sweet, like a tropical breeze.

And so spicy
it'll knock your flippers off.

(Captain Dodo mumbling)

-It would be right behind the salt.
-(objects clattering)

(groans)

I'm afraid I haven't seen
a dodo pepper around here

since I was a dodo chick myself.

Maybe Cookie's got everything.

I'm sure I can whip up
some dodo pepper soup for Jojo.

(chuckling)

Then let's get going.

Oh, oh, avast, my little skipper.

You need to rest in your nest.

But I can't do my dodo dance in my nest.

And if I can't do my dodo dance,

what can I dodo do?

Don't worry.
We'll have you feeling better in no time.

To the bakery.

Pickled pepper, pepper, pickles.

Hm. Peanut butter pickly peppers.

Remind me to try that one day.

But no dodo peppers.

Oh, Alice, have you checked...

(whispers)
at the sour section.

(light music)

Hey!

Very sour.

Nothing in the...

JOJO: Whoa...

-(whooping)
-(objects clattering)

Sweet buttercream!

There's a dodo in the pantry.

Jojo? What are you doing here?

I couldn't... ooh...

just sit around like a... whoa...

boat barnacle.

I wanna help.

(caws)

Tracking down a dodo pepper
is a lot harder than we thought.

Whoa!

Who knows where dodo pepper could be?

Hmm...

I know someone who might.

If anyone could help us find
a dodo pepper,

-its Cheshire cat.
-You rang?

(caws)
Oh, no!

Does Cheshire have
the Upsy Dodo Downsies too?

(yelps)
No, it's just Tuesday. How can I help?

We're searching for this.

Hmm... Curious, curious.

I need a closer look.

-It's a dodo pepper.
-For dodo pepper soup.

Which this dodo...
(hiccups)

...really needs.
(caws, hiccups)

Hmm... If my memory recalls,

I think you have to go that way.

Dodo peppers grow on blue trees.

Memory Lane?

(foreboding music)

Let's see where it goes.

(quirky music)

Huh.

Why do I get the feeling
I've been here before?

And why is everything so blue?

Here it is.

That's a dodo pepper all right.

Now we can make dodo pepper soup.

That's curious and curiouser.

(gasps)

Huh?

-This can't be good.
-(gasps)

Jumping jelly! What happened?

What in Wonderland is going on?

-(howls)
-Wait! Please stop!

Oh, no, it's...

(gasps)
Gone!

Cheshire, we follow memory lane
like you said,

but the dodo peppers turned to dust.

Memory lane?

Oh, so that's where this path leads.

But that means you... I...

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear. You said, "Oh, dear",
which means...

Oh, dear!

When you go down memory lane,
everything is all in the past.

It doesn't exist anymore.

Oh...

Like the breakfast I ate this morning.

(grunts, chomps)

So the dodo pepper is gone?

For good.

I suppose it has been a long time
since I've seen one.

But if dodo peppers
don't grow in Wonderland anymore,

how are we going to make dodo pepper soup?

(sobbing)

It's okay, Alice. You tried.

Guess I won't be dodo dancing for a while.

Better get back to my nest.

-(Jojo hiccups)
-(sighs)

I hate to see a dodo so sad.

But without a dodo pepper,
it's impossible to make dodo pepper soup.

But it's not impossible
to make Jojo feel better.

Jojo?

(Jojo sighs)

Up here.

-(groans)
-(sighs)

Even though dodo peppers
don't grow in Wonderland anymore,

maybe there's still a way
to make you feel better,

But a dodo pepper is what makes the soup.

You heard the Captain.

(Jojo sighs)

That first slurp feels
like a warm and cozy hug.

Then, pow! It hits you with the spice.

Warm, cozy, spicy.

We may not have the right ingredient
for dodo pepper soup,

but we have the right feeling.

I know what to do.

♪ There's a certain feeling
that we got to find ♪

♪ A memory with flavor ♪

♪ A hug that you can savor ♪

♪ It's sweet and warm, even kind ♪

♪ And there's certain joy
we got to infuse ♪

(grunting)

This is a ginger snap pea.

It's spicy and salty,
perfect for a warm bowl of soup.

It might taste different,

but I hope it will give Jojo
the same comfy feeling.

Come on.

ALICE: And now for the ginger snap peas.

-Well, how do you feel?
-(slurping)

Mmm.

Warm and cozy...

like the best hug ever.

Whoa!

Spicy!
(chuckles)

I feel like I've got the flip
back in my flippers.

(chuckles, humming)

Mmm...
(chuckles)

Tastes different, yes, but...

it does make you feel the same warm,

cozy and happy as a clam.

And I would have bet my last carrot

that it would be impossible
without a dodo pepper.

Sometimes you just have to think
about things in a different way.

Then anything is possible.

(gasps)
Like my Upsy Dodo Downsies.

(laughing)

-Cool! No way!
-(laughing)

-(all clamoring)
-Oh, my sweet dodo.

Now that your feet are back on the floor,

what do you say to some dancing?

Let's dodo do it!

ALL: ♪ Flap, flap, flap your wings,
clap, clap, clap your hands ♪

♪ Do, do, do, the dodo dodo dance dance ♪

(all laughing, cheering)

Oh, Jojo.

ALICE: Horsing Around.

Oh, Alice, you're just in time.

Thank you for bringing the roses.

I know you asked for red roses,
but these were the only ones I could find.

ALICE: Oh, my!

(laughs)
That's because they're all in here.

We're having a royal visit
from Captain Dodo today,

and Mama wants everything to be aces.

Off with this head!

Of lettuce.
(chuckles)

It simply won't do.

Everything must be red, red, red.

Buenos dias, amigos. Si!
(chuckles)

Merry morning to you, Your Majesty.

Excuse me, por favor.

Could you please paint
these white roses red?

CARD GUARDS: ♪ Bum, bum, bum, bum ♪

♪ Painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red ♪

What's with all the red?

ROSA: It's a royal rule.

When entertaining regal guests,
everything must have red in it.

Red napkins, red Forks...

HATTIE: Red Dodos?

It looks just like Captain Dodo.

But it still needs a hat.

And I haven't even started breakfast yet.

Oh, I'm feeling royally flushed.

ALICE: Maybe we can help.

What's the royal breakfast dish?

Huevos Habaneros.

That's a Cuban baked egg dish, right?

We can make it for you.

Oh, well, I heart that idea.
I just have to find the recipe.

I'll go prep the bakery.

Hattie, Fergie,
can you bring me the recipe lickety-split?

Oh, sounds delicious.
I'll bring the hot fudge.

She's not talking about a banana split.

She means hurry!

Oh, here it is. Huevos Habaneros.

Oh, it looks like an itty bitty rosebush.

Eggs, doorbell peppers, tomatoes.

We'll get this to Alice in two hops.

CARD GUARDS:
♪ We're painting the roses red ♪

QUEEN OF HEARTS: More red!

Whoo! That almost hit the recipe card.

Let my hat will hold on to that.

I can carry it.

Don't be silly. I'll carry it.

But you'll lose it.

Okay. Okay.
(snickers)

Hey, this isn't the recipe.
It's your hat tag!

FERGIE: Alice asked me to get it.

-She asked me to get it.
-Alice asked me!

-I got it!
-FERGIE: No, me!

-She asked me!
-HATTIE: No, she asked me.

Whoo!

This kitchen is primed and prepped
for a royal breakfast.

(panting)

We made it!

And with just enough time
to make the Huevos Habaneros.

Perfect. Who has the recipe?

BOTH: He does. I do?

(Alice yelps)

(chuckles)
I forgot my egg beaters in the pantry.

Be right back.

Okay, Fergie, fork over the recipe.

-You put it in your hat.
-You put it under your suspenders!

BOTH: It's gone.

(meows)

Now, what's the first ingredient
in Huevos Habaneros?

Uh, huevos?

Egg-xactly.

(chuckling)
And we've got plenty of eggs in here.

(whispers)
Hattie, what are you doing?

(whispers)
Don't worry, my fine, furry friend.

You read the recipe
when Rosa gave us the card.

All we have to do
is remember what it said.

Oh, yeah.

(stammering)
I can do that.

I think.

What's after eggs?

Uh, doorbell peppers.

-(doorbell peppers dings)
-Music to my ears.

What's next?

Uh... the last ingredient is...

(whispers)
Tomatoes or potatoes?

It was definitely potatoes.

Definitely potatoes.

Unless it was tomatoes.

But what's a few vegetables
between friends?

Potatoes and tomatoes
both taste great with eggs.

Time to get baking.

Well, bust my binding.

-They're little bells bushes.
-With white potato roses?

But according to the royal rule,
it has to be red.

Well, what do the guards do
when there are white roses?

Run and hide,
so the Queen doesn't get mad?

(chuckles)
They paint them red.

And we can do the same
with these potato roses.

ALICE: Mm.

Some red beet food coloring
ought to do it.

There. Huevos Habaneros fit for a queen.

Captain Dodo is going to love all this.

Mmm... Especially the Huevos Habaneros.

I can't wait to have one
of these tasty tomatoes.

Tomatoes?

But those are potato...

(exclaims)
I can't wait either.

(munching)

What do you think, Your Heartness?

Neigh!

(chuckles nervously)
I think she likes it.

Neigh!

What in Wonderland?

Neigh!

-(upbeat music)
-Neigh!

Mi Corazon!

(gasps)

Neigh!

Oh, no. I haven't seen my daughter
horse around like this.

Since she was a little girl.

Mama's acted like this before?

Si, mijita.

It only happens when she eats potatoes.

But there's no potatoes
in Huevos Habaneros.

But the recipe calls for potatoes.
Right, Hattie and Fergie?

Well... Well, you see...
(awkward chuckle)

-Oh, dear.
-Neigh!

(snorts, grunts)

Ninos, it's time
to lay your cards on the table.

Tell us what happened.

We...

lost the recipe?

But we remembered the recipe. Mostly.

We just mixed up tomatoes
with the potatoes.

No, we're sorry.

We shouldn't have horsed around
with the recipe card.

We need to find a way
to make this wrong recipe right, and fast.

-The Queen can't greet captain Dodo if...
-Neigh!

if she's horsing around.

The only thing that can help,
it's a cooldown carrot

from Tulgey Wood.

Rosa and I will go find the carrot.

You two, corral the queen.

And I'll delay Captain Dodo.

Oh, hey!

(all gasp)

Mama is eating hay.

-We got to hurry.
-QUEEN OF HEARTS: Neigh!

Your Majesty, please put that down.

-(yelps)
-Neigh!

Whoa!

How do you like that hat trick?

She's gonna eat the dodo!

(gasps)
Wow.

Neigh.

(sniffs, gasps)

-Who wants a juicy, red apple?
-QUEEN OF HEARTS: Neigh!

We got to get her outside
before she wrecks the dining room.

-Neigh.
-Oh, you're a good queen.

QUEEN OF HEARTS: Neigh!
(snorts)

This must be the cooldown carrot patch.

-(Alice exclaims)
-(mome raths squeaking)

Mome Raths.

We're going to have to search
the whole field

to find a cooldown carrot.

Neigh!

(Fergie sighs in relief)

That ought to hold the queen
until Alice and Rosa get back.

I wouldn't bet my hat on that.

Neigh! Neigh! Neigh!

Neigh!

(upbeat music)

(both scream)

-FERGIE: Your Majesty!
-HATTIE: Wait!

-FERGIE: Your Majesty!
-HATTIE: Come back!

(snorts)

(screams)

HATTIE: Run, Fergie, run!

-(Fergie yelping)
-(Queen of Hearts neighing)

(both grunt)

-Jumping jelly!
-Huh?

(both screaming)

Hattie, jump!

(both screaming)

(snorts)

(sighs)
I think we lost her.

-Carrot sticks! We lost her!
-(chuckles)

Buenos dias, Captain Dodo.

Ahoy there, Wonderlandlubber.

(awkward chuckle)
I found the Queen.

Neigh!

Mome Raths... Mome Raths...

Carrots. Oh, carrots!

Rosa, I found one!

(gasps)
Me, too.

But which one is the cooldown carrot?

ALICE: If it's for the Queen,
we must obey the royal rules.

Of course! The red one. Let's go.

(gasps)

-(chitters)
-(chuckles)

Whoa, Your Majesty! Whoa!

So where is Her Heartness anyway?

I have many sea shanties I...

Ooh, Captain, let me show you
my signature salsa dance moves.

Your Lightness, sweet move on your feet.

Excuse me, can I get a boost?

-Whoa! Your Majesty!
-(neighing)

-(tense music)
-(grunts)

(grunts)

-Neigh?
-One queenly cooldown carrot.

(munches, neighs)

Oh, greetings, Captain Dodo.

-Oh, yes.
-A close one.

-(sighs)
-Mama.

(chuckles)
Why, Your Majesty,

you were practically prancing
with excitement.

Alice, there's one more problem.

We don't have any Huevos Habaneros.

(Captain Dodo clears throat)

And to thank you for inviting
a salty seabird like me to the palace,

I prepared your favorite breakfast.

Huevos Habaneros.

(chuckles)

How thoughtful of you, Captain.

Uh, pardon me, Captain,

but are those tomato roses
or potato roses?

Why, tomatoes, of course.

(chomps)
Mmm. Mmm...

Delicioso.

(laughing)

You know, I have no idea why,

but I'm hungry as a horse.

To the dining room!

Tomatoes. Now we know.

But I wonder whatever happened
to the recipe card?

(Cam squeaking)

HATTIE: Cam.
(chuckles)

It looks like it was right
under our heads the whole time.

(cheerful music)
