ALICE: Oh, pardon me, but mister Three, why must you paint them red?

THREE: Huh? Oh! Well, the fact is, miss, we planted the white roses by mistake. And, the queen she likes them red. If she saw what we said, she’d raise her voice and each of us would quickly loose his head.

ALICE: Goodness!

CARD PAINTERS: (Singing) Since this is that what we dread, we’re painting the roses red!

ALICE: Oh dear! Then let me help you!

ALICE and CARD PAINTERS: (Singing) We’re painting the roses red. Don’t tell the queen what you have seen, we’re painting the roses red...

QUEEN: (Shouting angrily) Hum... Who’s been painting my roses red? Who’s been painting my roses red? Who dares to taint, with vulgar paint, the royal flower bed? For painting my roses red, someone will lose his head!

THREE: Oh, no! Your majesty! Please, it’s all his fault!

TWO: Not me, your grace! The Ace, the Ace!

QUEEN: You?

ACE: No, Two!

TWO: Not me, the Three!

QUEEN: That’s enough! Off with their heads!

ALICE: Oh, please, please! They were only trying to...

QUEEN: And who is this?

KING: Uh... well, well, well, now, eh... let me see, my dear. It certainly isn’t a heart... do you suppose it’s a club?

ALICE: Yes, and- and I was hoping...

QUEEN: (With a demanding voice) Look up, speak nicely, and don’t twiddle your fingers! Turn out your toes. Curtsey. Open your mouth a little wider, and always say ‘yes, your majesty’!

ALICE: Yes, your majesty!

QUEEN: Hmhmhmhm. Now, um, where do you come from, and where are you going?

ALICE: Well, um, I’m trying to find my way home...

QUEEN: Your way? All ways here are my ways!

ALICE: Well, yes, I know, but I was just thinking...

QUEEN: Curtsey while you’re thinking, it saves time.

ALICE: Yes, your majesty, but I was only going to ask...

QUEEN: I’ll ask the questions! Do you play croquet?

ALICE: Why, yes, your majesty.

QUEEN: Then let the game begin!

ALICE: Not at all.

CHESHIRE CAT: Beg your pardon?

ALICE: I said ‘not at all’! (Angrily)

QUEEN: Who are you talking to?

ALICE: Oh, uh... a cat, your majesty!

QUEEN: Cat? Where? (The cat is hiding behind the Queen).

ALICE: There! Oh... Oh there he is again!

QUEEN: I warn you child, if I loose my temper, you loose your head, understand?

The Queen turns down and the cat tries to hit her on her bump.

ALICE: No, no, no! Stop! Oh no!

The cat kicks her and the Queen falls over. The cat disappears quickly.

KING: Oh dear! Save the queen!

QUEEN: Someone’s head will roll for this! Yours! (pointing at Alice) Off with her...

KING: But- but consider, my dear. Couldn’t she have a trial... uh... first?

QUEEN: Trial?

KING: Well, just a... uh... little trial? Hmm?

QUEEN: Hmm. Very well then. Let the trial begin!

WHITE RABBIT: Huh... your majesty... members of the jury... loyal subjects...

KING: A-hem...

WHITE RABBIT: ...and the king. The prisoner is charged with enticing her majesty, the Queen of Hearts, into a game of croquet, and thereby willfully...

ALICE: But...

WHITE RABBIT: ...and with malice, teasing, tormenting, and otherwise annoying arb...

QUEEN: Don’t mind all that! Get to the part where I loose my temper.

WHITE RABBIT: Bwbwbwl... thereby causing the queen to loose her temper.

QUEEN: Now, Ha ha... are you ready for your sentence?

ALICE: Sentence? Ah, but there must be a verdict first!

QUEEN: Sentence first! Verdict afterwards.

ALICE: But that just isn’t the way!

QUEEN: All ways are...

ALICE: Your ways, your majesty.

QUEEN: Yes, my child. Off with her...

ALICE: Oh, pooh. (Looking at the cards) I’m not afraid of you! Why, you’re nothing but a pack of cards!

CARDS: Huh?

ALICE: And as for you, your majesty! Your majesty indeed! Why, you’re not a queen, but just a fat, pompous, bad tempered old ty- tyrant...

QUEEN: Hmhmhmhm... and uh... what were you saying, my dear? Off with her head!

KING: You heard what her majesty said! Off with her head! ...

Alice starts running and all of them run after her.

MAD HATTER: Would you like a little more tea?

ALICE: Well, I haven’t had any yet, so I can’t very well take more...

MARCH HARE: Ahh, you mean you can’t very well take less!

MAD HATTER: Yes! You can always take more than nothing!

ALICE: But I only meant that...

MAD HATTER: And now, my dear, something seems to be troubling you. Uh, won’t you tell us all about it?

MARCH HARE: Just half a cup if you don’t mind.

MAD HATTER: Come, come my dear. hehehe! Don’t you care for tea?

ALICE: Why, yes, I’m very fond of tea, but...

MARCH HARE: If you don’t care for tea, you could at least make polite conversation!

ALICE: Well, I’ve been trying to ask you...

MARCH HARE: I have an excellent idea! Let’s change the subject! How about a nice cup of tea?

ALICE: A nice cup of tea, indeed! Well, I’m sorry, but I just haven’t the time!

MARCH HARE: The time, the time! Who’s got the time?

WHITE RABBIT: No, no, no, no! No time, no time, no time! Hello, goodbye! I’m late! I’m late!

ALICE: Oh, my goodness!

WHITE RABBIT: Oh dear!

MARCH HARE: It is going mad! Mad watch!

MAD HATTER: I don't understand, it's the best butter.

MARCH HARE: There’s only one way to stop a mad watch!

And he takes a hammer and hits the watch with it.

WHITE RABBIT: Oh, my watch...

MAD HATTER: It was?

WHITE RABBIT: And it was an unbirthday present too.

MARCH HARE: Well, in that case...

MARCH HARE & MAD HATTER: A very merry unbirthday to you!

And the white rabbit quickly disappears from the stage.

ALICE: Mister Rabbit! Oh, mister Rabbit! Oh, now where did he go to? (And she goes after him leaving the March Hare and the Mad Hatter singing their unbirthday song.)

ALICE: I- I- I hardly know, sir! I changed so many times since this morning, you see...

CATERPILLAR: I do not see. Explain yourself.

ALICE: Why, I’m afraid I can’t explain myself, sir, because I’m not myself, you know...

CATERPILLAR: I do not know.

ALICE: Well, I can’t put it anymore clearly because it isn’t clear to me!

CATERPILLAR: You? Who are you?

ALICE: Well, don’t you think you ought to tell me- cough-cough, cough-cough, who you are first?

CATERPILLAR: Why?

ALICE: Oh dear. Everything is so confusing.

CATERPILLAR: It is not.

ALICE: Well, it is to me.

CATERPILLAR: Why?

ALICE: Is that all?

CATERPILLAR: No. Exactically, what is your problem?

ALICE: Well, it’s exactica-, exacti-, well, it’s precisely this: I should like to be a little bigger, sir.

CATERPILLAR: Why?

ALICE: Well, after all, three inches is such a horrible height, and...

CATERPILLAR: I am exactically three inches high, and it is a very good height indeed!

ALICE: But I’m not used to it. And you needn’t shout! Oh dear!

CATERPILLAR: By the way, I have a few more helpful hints. One side will make you grow taller...

ALICE: One side of what?

CATERPILLAR: ...and the other side will make you grow shorter.

ALICE: The other side of what?

CATERPILLAR: The mushroom, of course!!

And the caterpillar becomes a butterfly and flies away.

ALICE: 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. (She takes a piece of mushroom from each side and leaves the stage.)

Alice looks around but she sees nobody.

ALICE: Oh, yes, of course, I... hmm? Now who do you suppose... Ah, a horse fly! I mean, a- a rocking horse fly!

ROSE: Naturally!

She looks again around and sees nobody.

ALICE: I beg your pardon, but uhh... did you... oh, that’s nonsense. Flowers can’t talk.

ROSE: But of course we can talk, my dear.

SNAP-DRAGON: If there’s anyone worth talking to.

MARGUERITE: Or about! Hahahaha!

VIOLET: And we sing too!

ALICE: You do?

TULIP: Oh, yes. Would you like to hear ‘Tell it to the tulips’?

VIOLET: No, let’s sing about me! I know one about the shy little violets...

TULIP: Oh, no, not that old thing! Let’s do ‘Lovely lily at the valley’!

MARGUERITE: How about the daisies in the...

SNAP-DRAGON: Oh, she wouldn’t like that!

ROSE: Girls, girls! We shall sing: ‘Golden afternoon’. That’s about all of us! Sound your A, tulips!

TULIP: Laaaa...laaaa laaaa

VIOLET: Mimimimmimimiiiiiii...

MARGUERITE: Lalalala...

SNAP-DRAGON: Hahahahahahaha...

ROSE: Poem, poepoem, poem, poempoempoempoem....

FLOWERS: 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 dandy lions, in the golden afternoon, the golden afternoon. There are dog and caterpillars 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 of June. There’s a wealth of happiness and romance, all in the golden afternoon. ... All in the golden afternoon, the golden afternoon...

ALICE: Oh, that was lovely.

ROSE: Thank you, my dear.

MARGUERITE: What kind of garden do you come from?

ALICE: Well I don’t come from any garden...

MARGUERITE: Oh, do you suppose she’s a wild flower?

ALICE: Oh no, I’m not a wild flower...

ROSE: Just what specie, or shall we say, genus, are you, my dear?

ALICE: Well, I suppose you call me a genus, humanus, eh... Alice!

MARGUERITE: Ever seen an Alice with a blossom like that?

SNAP-DRAGON: Come to think of it, did you ever see an Alice?

VIOLET: Yes, and did you notice her petals? What a peculiar color!

MARGUERITE: And no fragrance!

TULIP: Hahaha! Just look at those stems!

SNAPDRAGON: Rather bony, I would say.

ALICE: But I’m not a flower!

SNAP-DRAGON: Aha! Just as I suspected! She’s nothing but a common mobile vulgaris!

FLOWERS: Oh no!

ALICE: A common what?

SNAP-DRAGON: To put it bluntly: a weed!

ALICE: I’m not a weed!

TULIP: Well, you wouldn’t expect her to admit it.

ROSE: Can you imagine!

MARGUERITE: Well, goodness!

VIOLET: Don’t let her stay here and go to seed!

TULIP: Go away now!

ROSE: Please, girls...

VIOLET AND TULIP: We don’t want weeds in our bed!

ALICE: Oh, 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! That would teach you! (And she leaves the stage very offended.)
