Alice Kingsleigh[edit]
- It's about the Hatter. Tarrant Hightopp. He's a great friend of mine, and recently he's convinced that his long-deceased family is still alive. Well, of course, his family can't really be alive because you see, the Jabberwocky killed the family on Horunvendush Day, and I killed the Jabberwocky on Frabjous Day, and I'd like your permission to please borrow the Chronosphere. It's imperative that… [Time: Ah. The Chronosphere.]
- Hatter is my truest friend. If he's in need, I'll help him. No matter what.
Iracebeth[edit]
- Ignorant peasants.
- The next person who laughs will never laugh again!
- I hate you ALL!!!!!
- NO ONE LOVES ME!!
- Revenge is mine!
- Oh, Alice, you always were an irksome, slurvish, interrupting thing. When I get back, I shall have the heads of all of your friends. And then I shall have your head. Ta-ta!
- [madly pointing to Young Mirana] YOU'RE A LIAR! LIAR! YOU'RE LYING! [turns to rust]
Dialogue[edit]
- Absolem: You've been gone too long, Alice, and he will be gone before long.
- Bayard: [after Alice falls from the sky and into a flower bed, her Underland friends surround and greet her] Alice.
- McTwisp: [hops up to Alice and hugs her arm] Alice! Thank goodness you're finally here!
- Thackery: It's that girl again!
- Tweedledee: Alice! You're back!
- [The Bandersnatch roars his greeting and pants, smiling at Alice]
- Mally: [to the Bandersnatch] Don't be nice to her. She's late.
- Alice: Have I come at a bad time?
- Mirana: On the contrary. We were afraid you weren't coming at all.
- Alice: What's the matter?
- McTwisp: Hatter's the matter.
- Tweedledee: Or the matter of Hatter.
- Tweedledum: The former.
- Tweedledee: No, the latter.
- Mirana: [rolls her eyes] Tweedles. [gives them a look]
- Tweedles: [in unison] He's mad.
- Alice: Hatter?
- [The Tweedles nod]
- Alice: 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.
- Chessur: [appears in the tree above them] And no scheme of ours can raise any sort of smile. We rather hoped you might help us save him.
- Mirana: But, if anything can bring Hatter back, it would be seeing you again.
- [The others nod in agreement]
- Alice: Well, where is he?
- [They all point at something as Thackery, with a finger in the wrong direction, thinks again. They see a house shaped like a top hat on a cliff. Moments later, Alice approaches the house. She walks upstairs to the door and knocks]
- Hatter: [from inside] Go away! You can't come in.
- Alice: Hatter, it's me. Alice.
- [Noticing Alice, Hatter opens the door]
- Hatter: Alice. You're you. And you're here. [they hug. He looks at her] You are you, aren't you? [touches Alice's face with his hands]
- Alice: Yes, Hatter.
- Hatter: [spins her around as if looking at her body] Good. [then looks around to see if the coast is clear] You're the only one. [takes Alice inside his house, shutting the door] But you've always been Alice. And that's how I know you'll believe me.
- Alice: I've missed you, Hatter.
- Hatter: It's my family, Alice.
- Alice: Your family?
- Hatter: [leads Alice to a painting of his family] Yes. My family. Lost for many years. Or so I thought. Look. [shows Alice the blue paper hat he found in the flashback] I found this. The first hat I've ever made. I thought I'd tossed it away long, long ago. It's impossible for it to be here, and yet...here it is. So if this hat survived, my family must've too.
- Alice: But, Hatter, that's...
- Hatter: I thought I wasn't worthy of the Hightopp name. A very serious man, my father. We had a terrible fight. I never said I was sorry when I had the chance. But this means I can make things right.
- Alice: Hatter. Your family, uh...
- Hatter: You do believe me, don't you, Alice?
- Alice: I want to. I... [as his orange hair turns pale, Hatter sits in a chair. She sits in another one to face him] Hatter! You're not well. What can I do?
- Hatter: [his eyes widen as he holds a finger up as if having an idea] Of course. My Alice...could bring my family back to me.
- Alice: Oh, but...Hatter, the thing is...your family died. Long ago. You told me so yourself. No one can bring them back.
- Hatter: No one but you?
- Alice: I'm sorry. But it's… It's impossible.
- [Hatter closes his eyes then snaps them open with a dark glint. Alice looks shocked]
- Hatter: You...are not you. [grabs Alice by her arm. He takes her back to the door where they've started and opens it]
- Alice: Hatter, please.
- Hatter: Get out. [pushes her outside the porch] I don't know who you are. [Alice looks wide-eyed] You're not my Alice. My Alice would believe me.
- [Alice wears a hurtful expression. With a heartbroken glare, Hatter shuts the door in her face]
- Alice: [tries to get Hatter's attention by knocking on the door] Hatter! [from her point of view through the window, Hatter walks away from the door while coughing and wheezing] Hatter, please! Please! [Hatter ignores her, who hangs her head dejectively, as he walks off. Moments later, she runs back to Mirana and the others] We must do something! He's so terribly ill. I fear he's...dying.
- [They're all shocked]
- McTwisp: Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
- Bayard: No.
- Mally: We can't lose him, Alice. We can't.
- Alice: He said to make him feel better, I must bring his family back. But that...can't be.
- Alice: Hatter is my truest friend. If he's in need, I'll help him. No matter what.
- [The others cheer for her]
- Time: [German accent] Stupid me-shaped corridor.
- [Wilkins hears the sound of a trumpet]
- 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!
- Iracebeth: [as Mr. Hightopp tries to fit the crown on top of her head] Put it on my head. You're making me look stupid. Get on with it! You incompetent imbecile!
- King Oleron: [gets up from his throne, stopping Iracebeth's rage ranting] 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. [to the crowd] People of Witzend, upon my death, my crown will pass... to the Princess Mirana.
- Mirana: [gets up from her seat] Father, no.
- Iracebeth: But that's not fair! I'm the eldest!
- King Oleron: You are unfit to rule, Iracebeth.
- Iracebeth: [enraged] I hate you. I hate you ALL!!!!! [her head swells up a bit and she starts to walk away but stops and storms over to the Hightopp family] Oh! And I shall not ever forget you, you sniggering 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? [Miriam doesn't respond] Didn't think so. [turns away and walks up the stairs; bawling] No one loves me! NO ONE LOVES ME!
- Mr. Hightopp: You cost the princess her crown! Do you know what this means to us?
- Hatter: Why am I never good enough for you?
- Mr. Hightopp: Why are you always such a disappointment to me?
- Young Mirana: You're eating all the tarts.
- Young Iracebeth: You can have the crusts.
- Young Mirana: [pouting] 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!
- Queen Elsemere: [enters Iracebeth and Mirana's room, roping in Young Mirana by the hand] What did I tell you two? No more tarts.
- Young Iracebeth: [honestly] I didn't eat any tarts.
- Queen Elsemere: [looks down and notices the tart crusts under Young Iracebeth's bed] Why are these crusts under your bed?
- Young Iracebeth: [gesturing to her sister] She put them there.
- Queen Elsemere: Did you, Mirana?
- Young Iracebeth: You did. Tell her!
- Queen Elsemere: Tell the truth, Mirana. Did you eat the tarts and put the crusts there?
- [Young Iracebeth gives her sister a "Well?" look on her face during a brief moment]
- Young Mirana: [shaking her head] No.
- Young Iracebeth: But you did! You're lying.
- Queen Elsemere: The tarts are under your bed. Don't blame your sister.
- Iracebeth: [after successfully capturing the Hightopp family] Revenge is mine.
- Alice: [shocked] She took them!
- [Iracebeth drags Mirana to the past where she lied about eating the tarts and putting the crusts under her bed before her younger self ran out and hit her head]
- Mirana: Where are we?
- Iracebeth: You know where we are.
- [They stop outside of their old room, hearing their mother confronting their younger selves]
- Queen Elsemere: Why are these crusts under your bed?
- Young Iracebeth: She put them there.
- Queen Elsemere: Did you, Mirana?
- Iracebeth: [whispers] Did you, Mirana?
- Young Iracebeth: You did. Tell her!
- Queen Elsemere: Tell the truth, Mirana. Did you eat the tarts and put the crusts there?
- Both Miranas: No.
- Mirana: Racie, no!
- Iracebeth: [bursts the door open and points to Young Mirana, savagely] YOU'RE A LIAR! LIAR! YOU'RE LYING!!! [turns to rust]
- [Young Iracebeth screams in horror and also turns to rust]
