Can you stand|on your head?

if I were looking|for a white rabbit,

I'd ask the Mad Hatter.

The Mad Hatter? Um,|no, no, I-I don't think--

Or there's the March Hare...

in that direction.

Would you like|a little more tea?

Well, I haven't had any yet,|so I can't very well take more.

Ah, you mean you can't|very well take less.

- But I only meant that--|- And now, my dear,

something, uh, seems|to be troubling you.

Uh, won't you tell us|all about it?

Come, come, my dear.|Don't you care for tea?

Why, yes, I'm very|fond of tea, but--

If you don't care for tea, you could|at least make polite conversation.

Well, I've been trying|to ask you--

I have an excellent idea.

Let's change the subject.

Why is a raven|like a writing desk?
