Alice In Wonderland Page #3

Synopsis: Alice is a daydreaming young girl. She finds learning poems and listening to literature boring. She prefers stories with pictures and to live inside her imagination. One day, while enduring just such a poetry reading, she spots a large white rabbit...dressed in a jacket and carrying a large watch. He scurries off, saying he's late, for a very important date. She follows him through the forest. He then disappears down a rabbit hole. Alice follows, leading her to all manner of discoveries, characters and adventures.

Just fetch that gate

We'll make it clear

- That monsters aren't welcome here

- Oh, dear. Oh, me, oh, my

- A match? Thank you

- Match?

Without a single doubt

we'll smoke the monster out

- We'll smoke the monster out

No! No!

My poor house and furniture

Oh, dear.

This is serious

I simply must... Ah!

A garden

Perhaps if I ate something,

it would make me grow smaller

Let go! Help!

- I'm sorry, but I must eat something

- Not me! You, you, you, you...

You barbarian! Help!

Monster!

Help!

Ah! I'm late! Oh, dear.

I'm here. I should be there

- I'm late, I'm late, I'm late

- I say, do you have a match?

Oh, no. Must go. Goodbye.

Hello. I'm late, I'm late, I'm late

- Wait! Please wait!

- Ah, young lady

- Do you have a match?

- No, I-I'm sorry, but...

- Mr Rabbit!

- No cooperation. No cooperation at all

Well, can't have monsters about

Jolly well have to carry on alone

Wait! Please!

Just a minute!

Oh, dear. I'll never catch him

while I'm this small

Why, what curious butterflies

You mean bread-and-butterflies

Oh, yes, of course, uh... Hmm?

Now who do you suppose...

A horsefly! I mean,

a- a rocking horsefly

- Naturally.

- I beg your pardon,

but, uh, did you...

Oh, that's nonsense.

Flowers can't talk

But of course

we can talk, my dear

If there's anyone

worth talking to

Or about

- And we sing too

- You do?

Oh, yes. Would you like to hear

"Tell It to the Tulips"?

- No, let's sing about us

- We know one about the shy little violets

- Oh, no, not that old thing.

- Let's do "Lovely Lily of the Valley"

- How 'bout a daisy duet?

- Oh, she wouldn't like that

- Oh, watch the rose

Girls! We shall sing

"Golden Afternoon"

That's about all of us

Sound your "A," Lily

La

Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi, mi

mi, mi, mi, mi, mi, mi

La, la, la, la

la, la, la, la, la

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Dum du dum-dum

Little bread-and-butterflies

kiss the tulips

And the sun is like

a toy balloon

There are

Get-up-in-the-morning glories

In the golden afternoon

There are dizzy daffodils

on the hillside

Strings of violets are all in tune

Tiger lilies love the dandelions

In the golden afternoon

The gold afternoon

There are

dog- and cat-erpillars

And a copper centipede

Where the lazy daisies

Love the very

Peaceful life

They lead

You can learn a lot

of things from the flowers

For especially

in the month ofJune

Ah, ah, ah, ah

There's a wealth

Of happiness and romance

All in the golden

Afternoon

All in the golden afternoon

The golden afternoon

You can learn a lot

of things from the flowers

For especially

in the month ofJune

There's a wealth of happiness

And romance

All...

The golden afternoon

Ah

- Oh, that was lovely!

- Thank you, my dear

What kind of garden

do you come from?

Oh, I don't come

from any garden

Do you suppose

she's a wild flower?

Oh, no.

I'm not a wild flower

Just what specie... or shall we

say genus... are you, my dear?

Well, I suppose you'd call me...

a Genus Humanus Alice

Ever see an Alice with

a blossom like that?

Come to think of it,

did you ever see an Alice?

Yes. And did you

notice her petals?

What a peculiar colour

And no fragrance

Just look at those stems

Rather scrawny, I'd say

I think she's pretty

- Quiet, bud

- But I'm not a flower

Aha!Just as I suspected

She's nothing but a common

Mobile Vulgaris

Oh, no!

- A common what?

- To put it bluntly:

- A weed

- I'm not a weed

- Well, you wouldn't expect her to admit it

- Can you imagine?

- Well, goodness!

- Don't let her stay here and go to seed

- Go on now. Don't you take root...

- Please, girls!

We don't want weeds

in our bed

Move along, move along

All right, if that's

the way you feel about it

If I were my right size, I could pick

every one of you if I wanted to

And I guess that would teach you

You can learn a lot

of things from the flowers

Hm! Seems to me they could learn

a few things about manners

A:

E- I-O-U

A- E-I-O-U

A- E-I-O-U

Who

U- E-I-O-A

U- E-I-A

A- E-I-O-U

Who are you?

Well, I-I-I hardly know, sir

I've changed so many times

since this morning, you see...

I do not see

Explain yourself

I'm afraid I can't

explain myself, sir,

because I'm not myself,

you know

I do not know

Well, I can't put it any more clearly,

for it isn't clear to me

You? Who are you?

Well, don't you think

you ought to tell me...

who you are first?

Why?

Oh, dear, everything

is so confusing

- It is not

- Well, it is to me

Why?

- Well, I can't remember things

as I used to, and...

- Recite

- Hmm?

Oh. Oh, oh, yes, sir. Um...

How doth the little

busy bee improve each shin...

Stop

That is not spoken

correct-ically

It goes:

How...

How doth the little crocodile...

improve his shining tail...

and pour the waters

of the Nile...

on every golden scale?

How cheer...

How cheer...

How cheerfully he seems to grin

How neatly spreads his claws...

and welcomes little fishes in...

with gently smiling jaws

Well, I must say I've never

heard it that way before

I know. I have improved it

Well... If you ask me...

You? Heh!

Who are you?

Oh!

Uh, you there. Girl!

Wait! Come back!

I have something

important to say

Oh, dear

I wonder what he wants now

Well?

Keep your temper

- Is that all?

- No

Exact-ically what

is your problem?

Well, it's exact-ically...

exact-ical...

Well, it's precisely this:

I should like to be

a little larger, sir

- Why?

- Well, after all,

three inches is such

a wretched height...

I am exact-ically

three inches high!

And it is a very good

height indeed!

But I'm not used to it,

and you needn't...

shout!

Oh, dear

By the way, I have

a few more helpful hints

One side will make you grow taller

One side of what?

And the other side will

make you grow shorter

- The other side of what?

- The mushroom, of course!

Hmm

One side will

make me grow...

But which is which?

Hmm. After all

that's happened, I...

I wonder if I...

I don't care

I'm tired of being

only three inches high

Yi, yi, yi, yi, yi,

yi, yi, yi, yi, yi!

A serpent! Help!

Help! Serpent! Serpent!

Oh, but please, please!

Off with you! Shoo! Shoo!

Go away! Serpent! Serpent!

- But I'm not a serpent

- Ser... Indeed?

- Then just what are you?

- I'm just a little girl

Little? Ha! Little?

Well, I am.

I mean, I-I was

And I suppose you

don't eat eggs either

- Yes, I do, but, but, but...

- Ah! I knew it! I knew it

Serpent. Serpent!

Oh, for goodness' sake

Hmm! And the

other side will...

The very idea

Spend all my time laying eggs

for serpents like her

Goodness. I wonder if I'll

ever get the knack of it

There. That's much better

Hmm. Better save these

Now let's see.

Where was I?

Hmm. I... I wonder

which way I ought to go

'Twas brilling

And the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe

All mimsy were the borogroves

And the mome raths outgrabe

Now where in the world

do you suppose that...

- Lose something?

- Oh!

Oh, uh... I...

I was... N-No

Lewis Carroll

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (; 27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, which includes the poem "Jabberwocky", and the poem The Hunting of the Snark – all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic and fantasy. There are societies in many parts of the world dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life. more…
