Lines Flashcards
NIGEL: My Mummy’s coming for me today. My Mummy’s coming for me today…
Oh do you think? Just like mine and yours and his and hers.
ALICE: But it is all buttoned. It’s just grown smaller really.
Funny how that happens, when the boys start growing bigger.
BUTRIDGE: Whaaaat?
DODGY: Whaaaaat?
Oh that’s funny, is it? Would it be funny if a bomb blew out your eardarm? Mad, mad - we’ve all gone mad here.
RED CROSS NURSE: Tin tomatoes with your bacon, and more of you than rations - not a word about it.
Push the nurse
DODGY: Has to save somebody. Since she couldn’t save her sister.
Ssssssssssssss
ALICE: It’s mine. It’s all that’s mine.
Then, she can’t take it from you, can she? No one can.
ALICE: Woah, my head! Whoooa! Even curiouser. Whoa!
Whoa, Hello
ALICE: Cheshire Puss? I fear I’ve lost my head.
The world has lost it’s head.
ALICE: What have I done- to him, them, me? Have I just gone mad?
Not to worry - we’re all mad here. I’m mad, you’re mad?
ALICE: So I am mad?
It’s a perfectly appropriate response.
ALICE: Cheshire puss? Don’t go - please!
“Please” and “Puss”? I like that.
ALICE: But my old me, my old head, will I ever get it back?
Then do you want it back? It took so long to lose it as it is. You can’t keep going back to fit the head you had.
ALICE: But my whole life was in that head, “And yet it is rather curious this new sort of feeling.”
Think too much, my dear, and you’ll forget what you know by heart. What’s the point of turning the key if you won’t go through the door?
ALICE: Not the LObsters! I mean I do so love the Lobster Dance.
“Will you, won’t you, will you, won’t you”
WHITE RABBIT: I’m all paws
Aren’t we all? You can pause, and pause, and pause… Pause too long and the moment’s gone, the dance is done.
WHITE RABBIT: But I’m not in that dance.
Not yet.
ALICE: “Which way, Which way? Alice asked.” But no one answered. Cheshire Puss! Cheshire Puss! Tell me, which way I ought to go from here.
Well, that depends a great deal on where you want to get to.
ALICE: To him. Though, in truth, I’m now so lost.
Then does it matter, really, which way you go?
ALICE: Yes of course it does, It must.
Well I’m sure you’ll wind up somewhere.
ALICE: Stay. Tell me, where? It all keeps disappearing. The pages turn so quickly. Why can’t he stay?
The question is, when some one needs to go, who are you to make them stay?
ALICE: But there’s so much left of our story!
Perhaps that is the story. It isn’t hard to say hello, it’s how we say goodbye.
ALICE: “I shall find that tiny golden key,” Alice said- and bring him with me into that “loveliest garden, among the roses”-
Alice! You cannot keep believing impossible things
ALICE: “Sometimes,” Alice says, “I’ve believed in as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
You want to much-
ALICE: All I want is more time with him. More time.
It isn’t how much time. It’s how we use the time we’ve got.
ALICE: But he is always out of time.
Perhaps he hasn’t much to give. Alice, pause and let the picture in. To be there, puss, that’s to be in Wonderland.
MAD HATTER: Mad. She’s mad.
ALICE: I’m not!
You’re here. They make us all mad here.
QUEEN OF HEARTS: Acting as if she were some mock me?
KING OF HEARTS: A mockery!
A royal Jabberywocky
DUCHESS: You age.
QUEEN OF HEARTS: Off with your head!
Let them scream - A heart can trump a Queen.
DODGY: Somehow. I doubt he’ll be chiming in.
It isn’t that the dead don’t talk, we’ve just forgotten how to listen.
HAROLD PUDDING: Talk, talk, talk!
Through time. That’s the riddle of the pages left behind.
ALICE: “Oh what a curious dream I’ve had,’ Alice said.”
“Curious, yes. But… Wonderful.’” Sometimes we overcome, you know, just by going on.
