Alice Through the Looking Glass 2016 quotes

King Oleron

Iracebeth, enough! Iracebeth, I had always hoped that you would one day show the necessary qualities to become the queen you were born to be. I realize now that day will never come. [turns his attention to the crowd] People of Witzend, upon my death, my crown will pass... to the Princess Mirana.

Mirana

Father, no...

Iracebeth

But that's not fair! I'm the eldest!

King Oleron

You are unfit to rule, Iracebeth.

Iracebeth

I hate you. I... HATE... YOU... ALL!!! [her head enlarges a bit, shocking the crowd, starts to walk away but stops, and storms over to the Hightopp family; vengefully] Oh! And I shall not ever forget you, you s****ing Hightopps! No, I shall wreak a terrible revenge! [turns away] Vile. Slow.

Mirana

Racie.

Iracebeth

Oh, don't "Racie" me! You started it! [walks a little closer to her; whispering] Why don't you tell them the truth? [Mirana doesn't reply] I didn't think so. [turns away and walks up the stairs; sobbing and wailing] No one loves me! NO ONE LOVES ME!

You cost the princess her crown! Do you know what this means to us?

Hatter

Why am I never good enough for you?

Why are you always such a disappointment to me?

Queen Elsemere

What did I tell you two? No more tarts.

I didn't eat any tarts.

Queen Elsemere

Why are these crusts under your bed?

She put them there.

Queen Elsemere

Did you, Mirana?

You did. Tell her!

Queen Elsemere

Tell the truth, Mirana. Did you eat the tarts and put the crusts there?

No.

But you did! You're lying.

Queen Elsemere

The tarts are under your bed. Don't blame your sister.

Time

Stupid me-shaped corridor.

You're eating all the tarts.

You can have the crusts.

I don't want the crusts!

Queen Elsemere

If you can't get along, there'll be no more tarts for either of you. Now out of my kitchen. [claps her hands] Scat!

Mirana

Where are we?

Iracebeth

You know where we are.

Queen Elsemere

Why are these crusts under your bed?

She put them there.

Queen Elsemere

Did you, Mirana?

Iracebeth

Did you, Mirana?

You did. Tell her!

Queen Elsemere

Tell the truth, Mirana. Did you eat the tarts and put the crusts there?

No.

Mirana

Racie, no...

Iracebeth

YOU'RE A LIAR! LIAR! YOU'RE LYING!!! [turns to rust]
[Young Iracebeth screams in horror and also turns to rust]

Time

Wilkins!

Wilkins

Yes, sir?

Time

She's here! My liebchen is here!

Wilkins

Coming, sir! [as he runs off, Alice watches him. Elsewhere, a silhouetted figure steps through a door underneath a giant red heart-shaped entrance. At the Grand Clock of All Time, he gathers the Seconds] Hurry! Quick! Alright. Here we go. Seconds out! Seconds out! [through a corridor, Alice sees a shadow with a heart-shaped hairdo. Wilkins and the Seconds approach, bumping into each other from behind] Oh. Ah! Get back. Stay in line. Stay in line! Ahem! Your Highness.

Iracebeth

Your Majesty!

Wilkins

Majesty. My lord is expecting you in the parlor. Shall I announce you?

Iracebeth

Oh, no mind! I'll announce myself. [the figure from the entrance, which is actually Iracebeth, the Red Queen, blows her trumpet] Tick Tock, where are you? Tick Tock, where are you? [behind her, a vegetable humanoid-like creature lifts her cape as she walks to find Time with Wilkins and his friends following her as Alice watches. In the parlor, Time checks his breath] Tick Tock!

Time

Coming, my love!

Absolem

You've been gone too long, Alice, and he will be gone before long.

Bayard

Alice.

White Rabbit

Alice! Thank goodness you're finally here!

March Hare

It's that girl again!

Tweedledee

Alice! You're back!

Mallymkun

Don't be nice to her. She's late.

Alice

Have I come at a bad time?

On the contrary. We were afraid you weren't coming at all.

Alice

What's the matter?

White Rabbit

The Hatter's the matter.

Tweedledee

Or the matter of the Hatter.

Tweedledum

The former.

Tweedledee

No, the latter.

Tweedles. [gives them a look as if to say, "Get to the point, please."]

He's mad.

Alice

The Hatter? [the Tweedles nod] Yes, I know. [climbs out of the flower bed and pulls her hair back in a half-up style] That's his muchness. That's what makes him so... him.

Tweedledee

But he's grown darker. Less dafter.

Tweedledum

Denies himself laughter.

Cheshire Cat

And no scheme of ours can raise any sort of smile. We rather hoped YOU might help us save him.

Iracebeth (Red Queen)

NO ONE LOVES ME!!

Iracebeth (Red Queen)

Put it on my head. You're making me look stupid. Get on with it! You incompetent imbecile!

Bayard the Bloodhound

Alice.

Time

Young lady, your time is up.

Iracebeth (Red Queen)

YOU'RE A LIAR! LIAR! YOU'RE LYING! [turns to rust]
