12 scenesWhere is your corset? And no stockings!
I'm against them.
But you are not properly dressed.
Who's to say what's proper? What if it were agreed that "proper" meant wearing a codfish on your head? Would you wear it?
Alice.
To me a corset is like a codfish.
Do you know what I've always dreaded?
The decline of the aristocracy?
Ugly grandchildren. But you're lovely. You're bound to produce little... Imbeciles!
[Notices that the gardeners have planted the wrong color roses] The gardeners have planted white roses when I specifically asked for red.
You could always paint the roses red.
What an odd thing to say.
Who are you?
Absolem?
You're not Absolem. I'm Absolem. The question is, who are you?
It looks like you ran afoul of something with wicked claws. [purrs]
But I'm still dreaming!
What did that to you?
Banner or Bander--
The Bandersnatch! Well, I'd better have a look!
What are you doing?
It needs to be purified by someone with evaporating skills or it will fester and putrefy.
I'd rather you didn't. I'll be fine as soon as I wake up.
At least let me bind it for you. [wraps up her wounds] What do you call yourself?
Alice.
The Alice?
There's been some debate about that.
I never get involved in politics.
What's happened to you, Tarrant? You used to be the life of the party. You used to do the best Futterwacken in all of Witzend.
Futter what?
Futterwacken!
It's a dance.
On the Frabjous Day, when the White Queen once again wears the crown, on that day, I shall Futterwacken... vigourously.
You were supposed to lead them away, the Hatter trusted you!
They have my wife and pups.
What is your name?
Bayard.
Sit!
Would your name be... Alice? By any chance?
Yes, but I'm not the one everyone's talking about.
The Hatter would not have given himself up just for any Alice.
Where did they take him?
To the Red Queen's castle in Salazen Grum.
We're going to rescue him.
That is not foretold.
I don't care! He wouldn't be there if it weren't for me!
The Frabjous Day is almost upon us. You must prepare to meet the Jabberwocky!
From the moment I fell down that rabbit hole I've been told what I must do and who I must be. I've been shrunk, stretched, scratched, and stuffed into a teapot. I've been accused of being Alice and of not being Alice but this is my dream. I'll decide where it goes from here.
If you diverge from the path...
I make the path!
Um, my new favorite.
What is her name?
Um.
Her name is Um, idiot!
From Umbridge.
Have I gone mad?
I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.
I couldn't kill the Jabberwocky if my life depended on it.
It will.
This is impossible.
Only if you believe it is.
You could stay...
What an idea. A crazy, mad, wonderful idea... But I can't. There are questions I have to answer, things I have to do. But I'll be back before you know it.
You won't remember me.
Of course I will. How could I forget? ...Hatter, why is a raven like a writing desk?
I haven't the slightest idea. ...Fairfarren, Alice.
Six impossible things. Count them, Alice. One, there's a potion that can make you shrink. Two, and a cake that can make you grow.
So, my old foe, we meet on the battlefield once again.
We've never met.
Not you, insignificant bearer. My ancient enemy, the Vorpal one.
That's enough chatter. [cuts his tongue off. Mirana looks like she's about to vomit] Three, animals can talk. Four, Alice, cats can disappear. Five, there's a place called Wonderland. Six, I can slay the Jabberwocky. [begins fighting the Jabberwocky]
