ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Part 2
Alice was getting so used to queer things happening
that she was not at all surprised at this encounter.
The Caterpillar was quietly smoking a long hookah,
taking not the smallest notice of anything else.
You... Who are you?
I hardly know, ma'am, just at present.
I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I changed so often since.
What do you mean? Explain yourself.
I'm afraid I can't, because I'm not myself, you see.
I don't see.
I can't understand it myself.
Being so many different sizes in a day!
You see, everything's moving somewhere and turns into something.
What are you not content with?
I keep getting small when I need to be large.
And the other way round. It's very uncomfortable.
One side will make you grow taller.
The other side will make you grow shorter.
One side of what? The other side of what?
Of the mushroom.
Alice was looking at the mushroom, and tried to make out which were the two sides of it.
As it was perfectly round, she found this a very difficult question.
And now which is which?
Now there will be less of that stupid uncertainty!
Dear Cheshire Puss, would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
And where do you want to get to?
I don't much care where so long as I get somewhere.
Then it doesn't matter which way you go.
You're sure to get somewhere if you only walk long enough and not turn.
What sort of people live about here?
In that direction lives a Hatter.
And in that direction lives a March Hare.
Visit either you like: they're both mad.
Why?
The Hatter worked so much with hat blocks,
that he got absolutely block-headed, so now his nickname is Blockhatter.
And the March Hare has gotten absolutely cross-eyed.
I mean, from the March sun.
But I don't want to go among mad people.
Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here.
I'm mad. You're mad.
Would you please not vanish so suddenly, sir?
All right.
Well... I've often seen a cat without a grin, but a grin without a cat!
It's the most curious thing I ever saw.
She had not gone much farther before she saw the house of the March Hare.
At the table, the March Hare and the Blockhatter were having tea.
A Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep.
- No room! No room! - There's plenty of room!
Have some wine.
I don't see any wine.
Of course you don't! There isn't any.
Then it wasn't very civil of you to offer it.
It wasn't very civil of you to sit down without being invited.
This table is laid for a great many more than three.
Would it be better if there were more of us and fewer cups?
You should say what you mean.
I do. At least I mean what I say. That's the same thing.
Not the same thing a bit!
You might just as well say that “I see what I eat” is the same thing as “I eat what I see”.
I think you are just wasting time.
If you knew Time as well as I do, you wouldn't talk about wasting it.
Of course, of course. I quite agree with you.
I dare say you never even spoke to him!
Perhaps not, but I know I have to beat time when I learn music.
He won't stand beating!
Yes. We quarreled with Time.
It's always six o'clock now.
And it's always tea-time.
We even have no time to wash the cups between whiles.
It's the stupidest tea-party l ever was at in all my life.
I'd better go quickly to the garden.
Open it!
Would you tell me why you're painting those roses?
You see, Miss, this here ought to have been a white rose-tree,
and we put a red one by mistake.
If the Queen was to find out, we shall all have our heads cut off.
“What a cardtege!” thought Alice.
The word seemed to sound wrong, but she didn't know how to correct it.
Perhaps she, too, ought to lie down on her face before this grand procession?
But Alice could not remember any such rule.
What would be the use of a procession if people had to lie face down, so they could not see it?
What is this?
- Your Majesty, they wanted... - I see. Off with their heads!
Don't be afraid. You shan't be beheaded.
Are their heads off?
Their heads are gone, Your Majesty!
That's right.
- Can you play croquet? - Yes!
Get to your places!
Off with her head!
Off with his head!
Off with that head, too!
They're dreadfully fond of beheading people here.
The great wonder is, that there's anyone left alive!
How are you getting on?
Who are you talking to?
It's a friend of mine, a Cheshire Cat. Allow me to introduce it.
I don't like the look of it. However, it may kiss my hand if it likes.
Thank you, I'd rather not.
Executioner, come here!
Off with his head!
I can't cut off a head unless there is a body to cut it off from.
Anything that has a head can be beheaded!
I'll think about what I shall do with you.
And he will be tried by the Royal Court of Justice!
