Alice In Wonderland 1966
Transcript
00:00:00There was a time when meadow, grove and stream, the earth and every common sight, to me did
00:00:14seem apparelled in celestial light, the glory and the freshness of a dream.
00:00:30I love you, my child.
00:00:44I love you.
00:00:49I love you, my child.
00:00:52Keep holding it.
00:00:55Yeah.
00:00:59And then,
00:00:59time to day,
00:01:00and then,
00:01:01you're going to find it,
00:01:01and you're going to finish to get some chitagels in your chair.
00:01:06Toasty,
00:01:09channels.
00:01:13You had to get them on the street.
00:01:20You won't last all for the summer,
00:01:21I'm trying to...
00:01:25Let's do it.
00:01:28Let's do it.
00:01:29Let's do it.
00:01:55Let's do it.
00:02:25Let's do it.
00:02:55Let's do it.
00:03:25Let's do it.
00:03:55Let's do it.
00:04:25Let's do it.
00:04:55Let's do it.
00:05:25Let's do it.
00:05:56I wonder if I've been changed in the night.
00:06:00Let me think.
00:06:02Was I the same when I got up this morning?
00:06:04I almost think I can remember feeling a little different.
00:06:09But if I'm not the same, but if I'm not the same, the next question is, who in the world am I?
00:06:23Oh, that's the great puzzle, who am I?
00:06:29Oh, I'm the same way?
00:06:35Yeah.
00:06:39I'll try to find out all the things I used to know.
00:07:09Four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is...
00:07:39Four times six is three, and four times six is...
00:07:44Four times six is...
00:07:49Four times seven is...
00:07:54Four times six is...
00:08:00Curiouser and curiouser.
00:08:23How doth the little crocodile improve his shining tail, and pour the waters of the Nile on
00:08:36every golden scale?
00:08:53I think the main problem is how we all get dry.
00:09:21If you'll all be quiet and listen to me, I'll soon make you dry enough.
00:09:27Are you ready?
00:09:29Here is the driest thing that I know.
00:09:32Silence all round, please.
00:09:37William the Conqueror, whose cause was favored by the Pope, was soon submitted to by the English,
00:09:44who wanted leaders, and were of late much accustomed to usurpation and conquest.
00:09:50Edwin and Morka, the Earls of Mercia and Northumbria...
00:09:56I have never been so bored in my life.
00:09:59Yes, yes, yes.
00:10:01Did you speak?
00:10:02No, not a word.
00:10:04Yes, yes, yes.
00:10:05I thought you did.
00:10:06Yes, yes, yes.
00:10:07I shall proceed.
00:10:08Yes, yes, yes.
00:10:10Edwin and Morka, the Earls of Mercia and Northumbria, soon declared for him.
00:10:16And even Stiggand, as the Patriotic Archbishop of Canterbury, found it advisable to go with Edgar Aetheling and Arthur William the Crown.
00:10:29Yes, yes.
00:10:30While the country still reeled under the shock of the conquest, the Conqueror followed it by introducing the feudal system,
00:10:38which was hardly a ray of sunshine, as it drove a coach and horses through the middle of the Anglo-Saxon polity.
00:10:46How are you getting on now, my dear?
00:10:51Oh, in that case, I move that this meeting adjourn for more energetic measures.
00:10:58And I think a good thing would be to have a caucus race.
00:11:03What's a caucus race?
00:11:04Well, best way to explain it is for us all to do it, hmm?
00:11:10Come along, come along!
00:11:40Come along!
00:11:42Come on!
00:11:43Come on!
00:11:45Come on!
00:11:55Come on!
00:12:01Come on, come on!
00:12:05Oh, oh.
00:12:06Oh.
00:12:07Oh, this will never do!
00:12:09Come on! Come on!
00:12:10Come on, come on, come on.
00:12:12Come on, come on.
00:12:14Come on, come on.
00:12:16Come on.
00:12:18That's it, that's it.
00:12:20Come on now, come on.
00:12:40Come on, come on.
00:13:10All right, the race is over.
00:13:14Who won? Who won?
00:13:16Everybody's won.
00:13:18And everyone must have prizes.
00:13:34Who's to give the prizes?
00:13:36Why, she will, of course.
00:13:38Prizes.
00:13:40Prizes.
00:13:42Prizes.
00:13:44Prizes.
00:13:46Prizes.
00:13:48Prizes.
00:13:50Oh, prizes.
00:13:52Prizes.
00:13:54Prizes.
00:13:56Prizes.
00:14:02She must have a prize herself, of course.
00:14:04Well, of course she must.
00:14:06What else have you got in your pocket, eh?
00:14:12Only a thimble.
00:14:14Oh, let me see.
00:14:16Oh.
00:14:18I beg your acceptance of this elegant thimble.
00:14:22Pray.
00:14:24Perhaps he would care to continue with your story.
00:14:28You obviously have your own methods of drying off.
00:14:30I don't see why I should waste my breath on it any more.
00:14:38I'll do nothing of the sort.
00:14:40What a pity he wouldn't stay.
00:14:44Come along, come along, then, Nate.
00:14:46Come along, then, Nate.
00:15:00Mary-Anne.
00:15:02Mary-Anne.
00:15:03Fetch me my gloves this moment.
00:15:04Wait, look at me.
00:15:06If you've never managed to get you thin...
00:15:08...in such a bad...
00:15:10...can smell...
00:15:12...can smell...
00:15:14I'm sure I'm not Ada. She's got long ringlets, and my hair doesn't go in ringlets at all.
00:15:41And I'm sure I can't be Mabel, because I know all sorts of things, and she knows nothing. Besides, she's she, and I. Oh dear, how puzzling it all is.
00:15:57I love the little crocodile, and prove his shining tail, and pour the waters off the night on every golden scale.
00:16:13How cheerfully he seems to grin how neatly spreads his claws, and welcomes little fishes in with gently smiling jaws.
00:16:22I must be Mabel after all. Oh, I'll have to go and live in that pokey little house.
00:16:29Marianne, do you hear me? Fetch me my gloves and fan.
00:16:35I'll go round and get in the window.
00:16:46Marianne.
00:16:47A barrow full will do, to begin with. A barrow full of what?
00:17:03We must burn the house down.
00:17:05A barrow.
00:17:07I did.
00:17:37Who are you?
00:18:00Who are you?
00:18:04Who are you?
00:18:07I don't know who I was when I got up this morning, but I don't know who I was when I got up
00:18:35this morning, but I think I've changed several times since then.
00:18:41What did you mean by that exactly?
00:18:44Explain yourself.
00:18:46I'm afraid I can't explain myself.
00:18:48I'm not myself, you see.
00:18:51No, I don't see.
00:18:54I can't put it any more clearly, I'm afraid, because I don't understand it myself.
00:18:59And it's very confusing changing size so often.
00:19:02It's not at all.
00:19:04Well, I imagine you'll feel a bit queer when you change size, won't you?
00:19:11Not a bit.
00:19:12It feels very queer to me.
00:19:15Who are you?
00:19:16I think you ought to tell me who you are first.
00:19:20Why?
00:19:22Come back!
00:19:26I have something important to say.
00:19:30Yes?
00:19:31Keep your temper.
00:19:32Is that all?
00:19:33No.
00:19:34No.
00:19:35No.
00:19:36yes keep your temper is that all
00:19:45so you're thinking of changing are you i'm afraid i am you see i can't remember things i used to
00:20:14and i can't stay the same size for more than 10 minutes together what sort of things
00:20:21well i've tried to say how doth a little busy bee but it came out all different
00:20:27very well repeat you are old father william
00:20:36you are old father william the young man said and your hair has become very white
00:20:41and yet you incessantly stand on your head do you think at your age it is right
00:20:49in my youth said the sage as he shook his gray locks
00:20:58in my youth said the sage as he shook his gray locks i kept all my limbs very supple

00:21:35be off or i'll kick you downstairs
00:21:38that's not quite right i'm afraid some of the words seem to have got altered
00:21:46oh is it wrong from beginning to end
00:21:51what size do you want to be i'm not particular as to size it's just that one doesn't like changing so
00:21:58often you know no i don't know are you happy now well i'd like to be a little larger
00:22:08seems a very nice size to me but i'm not used to it
00:22:15you'll get used to it in time

00:26:57I don't much care where.
00:26:59Then it doesn't matter which way you go.
00:27:03So long as I get somewhere.
00:27:05Oh, you're sure to do that if you only walk long enough.
00:27:13What sort of people live about here?
00:27:15In that direction is the Hatter, and in that direction is the March Hare.
00:27:20They're both mad.
00:27:22But I don't want to go among mad people.
00:27:25Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here.
00:27:28I'm mad. You're mad.
00:27:34By the by, what became the baby?
00:27:37I'd nearly forgotten to ask.
00:27:39It turned into a pig.
00:27:42I thought it would.
00:27:48Did you say pig or fig?
00:27:50I said pig.

00:28:32There's no room.
00:28:33there's plenty of room. have some wine. I don't see any wine. there isn't any. it wasn't very civil of you to offer it. it wasn't very civil of you to sit down before you're invited.
00:28:46I thought you did invite me. anyway the tables laid for a great deal more than three.
00:28:52your hair once cutting. you shouldn't make personal remarks. it's very rude.
00:29:00why is a raven like a writing desk I wonder. oh I'm glad you've begun asking riddles. I think I can guess that one.
00:29:08do you mean that you can find the answer to it? exactly. then you should say what you mean.
00:29:14I do. at least I mean what I say. it's the same thing you know. it isn't the same thing a bit. you might as well say that I see what I eat is the same thing as I eat what I see.
00:29:26you might just as well say that I like what I get is the same thing as I get what I like.
00:29:33you might as well say that I sleep when I breathe is the same thing as I breathe when I sleep.
00:29:44it is the same thing with you.
00:29:46it is the same thing with you.
00:29:47it is the same thing with you.
00:29:51it is the same thing with you.
00:30:11Oh, what day of the month is it?
00:30:17I think it's the fourth.
00:30:19Oh, two days wrong.
00:30:22I knew that butter wouldn't be good for the works.
00:30:25It was with the best butter.
00:30:27Yes, but we must have got some crumbs in with it or something.
00:30:31I told you not to use the bread knife.
00:30:33It was the best butter.
00:30:35That's as may be.
00:30:37Curious watch.
00:30:38It tells the day of the month, not what time it is.
00:30:42Of course it does, child.
00:30:43Does your watch tell you what year it is?
00:30:46Of course not.
00:30:47That's because it's the same year for so long together.
00:30:49Exactly.
00:30:50Well, it's just the same with my watch.
00:30:52Oh, when Adam and Eve are first deprived of the garden hard by...
00:30:57Oh, the doormouse is falling asleep again.
00:31:02Have you guessed the riddle yet?
00:31:04No, I give up.
00:31:05What is the answer?
00:31:06I haven't the slightest idea.
00:31:11Well, I think you might do something better with your time than wasted asking riddles that have no answers.
00:31:16If you knew time as well as I do, you wouldn't talk about it.
00:31:20It's him.
00:31:21I don't know what you mean.
00:31:22Of course you don't, I dare say.
00:31:25You've never even spoken to time.
00:31:27Perhaps not, but I now have to beat time and I learn music.
00:31:30Oh, that accounts for it.
00:31:39He can't stand beating.
00:31:41But if you keep on good terms with time, he'll do anything with the clock that you want.
00:31:46For example, supposing it's half past nine in the morning, you just whisper a hint to time.
00:31:51Wrong goes the clock and it's half past one in the afternoon time for dinner.
00:31:55I only wish it was.
00:31:58Yes, it might be rather nice, but then I wouldn't be hungry for it, you know.
00:32:01Not at first, perhaps, but you could keep it at half past one for as long as you like.
00:32:06Is that the way you manage?
00:32:07Oh, no, no, no, no, no, we quarreled last March, just before he went mad, you know.
00:32:14It was at a concert given by the Queen of Hearts, I had to sing that song.
00:32:19Twinkle, twinkle, little bat, how I wonder what you're at.
00:32:26You're familiar with it, doubtless.
00:32:28I've heard something like it.
00:32:29Yes, it goes on up above the world, you fly, like a tea tray in the sky.
00:32:37Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle.
00:32:42Oh, well, I'd hardly finish the first verse when the Queen jumps up and balls out,
00:32:48he's murdering the time, off with his head.
00:32:52I dread be savage.
00:32:53Oh, yes, yes, yes.
00:32:56But ever since then, time won't do a thing for me.
00:33:00It's always six o'clock now.
00:33:04Is that the reason why so many tea things are put out here?
00:33:06Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:33:08It's always, it's always tea time.
00:33:12And of course, we don't get much time to wash the things up between whiles.
00:33:17So you keep moving round, I suppose.
00:33:19We keep, we keep moving round, yes, yes, yes.
00:33:23As the things get used up.
00:33:26What happens when you get back to the beginning?
00:33:27Oh, whoa.
00:33:28Suppose we change the subject.
00:33:30I'm getting dreadfully bored by this.
00:33:34I've heard the young lady tells us a story.
00:33:37I'm afraid I don't know one.
00:33:40Then the doormouse will.
00:33:42Tell us a story.
00:33:53You better get on with it, otherwise you'll fall asleep again before you're done.
00:33:56Once upon a time, there were three little sisters.
00:34:04Oh, yes.
00:34:05They were named Elsie, Letia, and Tully.
00:34:13And they lived at the bottom of the well.
00:34:16What did they live on?
00:34:17They lived on treacle.
00:34:29They couldn't have done that, you know.
00:34:30They'd have been ill.
00:34:31Very well.
00:34:33Very, very ill.
00:34:35But why did they live at the bottom of the well?
00:34:40Take some more tea.
00:34:42I've had nothing yet, so I can't take more.
00:34:44What you mean is you can't take less.
00:34:46It's very easy to take more than nothing.
00:34:49Nobody asked your opinion.
00:34:50Oh, now who's making personal remarks, eh?
00:35:01Why did they live at the bottom of a well?
00:35:05It was a treacle well.
00:35:07There's no such thing.
00:35:10If you cannot be civil, you tell the story yourself.
00:35:14I won't interrupt again.
00:35:16Well, I dare say there may be one.
00:35:19Oh, indeed.
00:35:23Well, the three little sisters, they were all learning to draw, you know.
00:35:31What did they draw?
00:35:34Treacle.
00:35:34Well, I don't understand.
00:35:47I don't understand.
00:35:48Where did they draw the treacle from?
00:35:49You draw water from a water well, you draw a treacle from a treacle well, eh, stupid?
00:35:54Oh, but they were in the well.
00:35:56Oh, they were in the well.
00:35:57Oh, they were in the well.
00:35:58Well, in.
00:35:59Well, in.
00:36:11Then they learned to draw.
00:36:13And they always drew something beginning with an M.
00:36:21Why an M?
00:36:22Why an M?
00:36:23Why not?
00:36:24Why an M, as the M is born.
00:36:39Everything beginning with an M, such as mousetrap, money, memory, and muchness.
00:36:54Now, I bet you never saw anything like the drawing of a muchness.
00:36:59Really? No, you said, I didn't.
00:37:01Then you shouldn't talk.
00:37:10It's the stupidest tea party I've ever had.
00:37:17Why are you painting those roses?
00:37:21Why are you painting those roses?
00:37:23What's that? What's that?
00:37:26Will you hold that book steady?
00:37:28I can't see the paint.
00:37:30What are you doing it for?
00:37:32Doing it for?
00:37:33Yes.
00:37:34Yes.
00:37:35Yes.
00:37:36What am I doing it for?
00:37:38Yes.
00:37:39Well, that is the question, isn't it?
00:37:41Ah.
00:37:42There, you see.
00:37:43It's no good.
00:37:44It's all a problem of collar, you see.
00:37:47The, uh, problem of these being collared white when red was what was asked for.
00:37:53Who's to know?
00:37:54Oh, yes.
00:37:55That's good.
00:37:56Yes, I like that.
00:37:58Yes, who's to know?
00:37:59The Queen, that's who.
00:38:01The Queen doesn't miss a trick.
00:38:03Doesn't look much like a red rose to me.
00:38:06Oh, well, perhaps you'd like to have a go at yourself, then?
00:38:09Yes, perhaps you'd like to have a go at yourself.
00:38:11I think we can do without any help from you, you know.
00:38:14Thank you very much.
00:38:16Look!
00:38:17It's the Queen.
00:38:18Give me some more carmine.
00:38:19And a little boy.
00:38:20And a little boy.
00:38:21Mr. Queen!
00:38:22Give me some more carmine.
00:38:49Let's go.
00:39:19Ah, yes. And who's this?
00:39:43Yes, who is this?
00:39:45Perhaps I shouldn't ask.
00:39:46Idiot. Absolute idiot.
00:39:51You've got an absolute idiot for a son.
00:39:53Yes, but he's tall. He's very tall.
00:39:55Come along, Charles. Speak up. What's your name?
00:39:58My name is Alice.
00:39:59Ah.
00:40:03And who are these?
00:40:05Or perhaps I shouldn't ask.
00:40:07How should I know? It's no business of mine.
00:40:09You little hussy. Off with her head. Nonsense.
00:40:14Ah, yes. Now, what have you been doing here?
00:40:18Oh, perhaps I shouldn't ask.
00:40:20Well, perhaps I should.
00:40:23Painting white roses red, hmm?
00:40:26Perhaps you have an explanation?
00:40:28Well, Mum, it's my way of rectifying a mistake.
00:40:32What I've always said is,
00:40:34what the eye don't see,
00:40:36the heart don't grieve over.
00:40:38I think that's for me to judge.
00:40:40Off with her heads.
00:40:44It's a very fine day.
00:40:46It's very. Where's the Duchess?
00:40:47She's under sentence of execution.
00:40:49What for?
00:40:50She boxed the Queen's ears, whoops.
00:40:52All right.
00:40:54Get to your places.
00:40:58You heard what she said.
00:41:00Get to your place.
00:41:02Get to your place.
00:41:23Oh, my God.
00:46:27I don't like the look of it at all.
00:46:29A cat may look at a queen.
00:46:31Cats are allowed to do that.
00:46:33It must be removed.
00:46:35Executioner.
00:46:36About that cat.
00:46:37Right taken off.
00:46:38Right off.
00:46:39Yeah.
00:46:40Well, you've got the problem there, haven't you?
00:46:42I mean, with regard to cutting off a head, you've got a real problem unless there's a body to cut it off from.
00:46:48I mean, you see what I mean?
00:46:50Don't talk nonsense.
00:46:52Anything that has a head can be beheaded.
00:46:55Anyway, who does it belong to?
00:46:57It belongs to the Duchess and you'd better ask her about it.
00:47:00You can't think how glad I am to see you here, you dear old thing.
00:47:23You're thinking about something and that makes you forget to talk.
00:47:29I can't remember the moral of that, but I shall remember it in a moment.
00:47:34Perhaps it hasn't got a moral.
00:47:36Tut-tut!
00:47:37My dear child, everything's got a moral.
00:47:40If only you can find it.
00:47:42The game seems to be coming on much better now.
00:47:44Yes, it is.
00:47:45Yes, it is.
00:47:46And the moral of it is, tis love, just love.
00:47:50Makes the world go round.
00:47:53I thought it was done by everybody minding their own business.
00:47:55Oh, well, yes.
00:47:58Well, it means much the same thing.
00:48:01And the moral of that is, take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves.
00:48:06I'm still only fond of finding morals.
00:48:08I dare say you're wondering why I don't put my arm round your waist.
00:48:11Well, the reason is, I'm doubtful of the temper of your flamingo.
00:48:17I haven't got a flamingo anymore.
00:48:19Ah, true, ah, true.
00:48:20Flamingos and mustard, both might.
00:48:23And the moral of that is, birds of the feather flock together.
00:48:28But mustard isn't a bird.
00:48:30Right as usual.
00:48:31You do have a nice, clear way of putting things.
00:48:36It's a mineral, I think.
00:48:38Yes, of course it is.
00:48:39And there's a rather large mustard mine quite near here.
00:48:43And the moral of it is, the more there is a mine, the less there is a your own.
00:48:49I know, it's a vegetable.
00:48:51It doesn't look like one, but it is.
00:48:53I quite agree with you.
00:48:54And the moral of that is, be what you would seem to be.
00:48:58Or if you would like it put more simply.
00:49:01Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it would appear to others.
00:49:06That what you were, what you might have been, is not otherwise than what you have been.
00:49:13I think I'd understand that a bit better if I had it written down, but I'm afraid I can't quite follow it as you say it.
00:49:19Oh, I could say much better than that if I chose.
00:49:24Please don't trouble yourself, it's certainly longer than that.
00:49:27Don't talk about trouble. I'd make you a present of everything I've said as yet.
00:49:31Cheap sort of present, I must say.
00:49:34Thinking again?
00:49:35I have a right to think.
00:49:37About as much right as pigs have to fly.
00:49:40And the moral...
00:49:47Either you or your head must be off in the next five minutes.
00:49:50Take your choice.
00:49:52You should be the death of me.
00:50:10Come on, let's get on with it again.
00:50:22Well, here we are.
00:50:32What's happened to them?
00:50:34They're going to be executed.
00:50:36What do you mean?
00:50:37They're going to have their heads taken off.
00:50:39What, all of them?
00:50:41Yes, the whole lot.
00:50:42There's no point spoiling the ship for a half of the tower.
00:50:46Have you seen the Mott Turtle?
00:50:47No, who's that?
00:50:49Well, you'd better ask the griffin about that.
00:50:51He'll be able to let you know.
00:50:57That's just her fantasy.
00:50:59She never executes anyone.
00:51:01Ah, there he is.
00:51:04What's he so sad about?
00:51:06That's just his fantasy.
00:51:08He's got nothing to be sad about, really.
00:51:21This young lady wants to hear your life history.
00:51:25All right, I'll tell it to her.
00:51:29And don't speak a word till I finish.
00:51:48But how can he finish if he doesn't begin?
00:51:50He's got to get into the mood.
00:51:55When we were little, we all went to school in the sea.
00:52:11The master was an old turtle.
00:52:13We used to call him Tortoise.
00:52:16Why did you call him Tortoise if he wasn't one?
00:52:18We called him Tortoise because he taught us.
00:52:20Really, you are very dull.
00:52:22What a shame to be asking such simple questions there.
00:52:25We had the best of education.
00:52:27In fact, we went to school every day.
00:52:30I've been to a day school too.
00:52:31It's nothing to be so proud about.
00:52:33With extras?
00:52:34Yes, we learned French and music.
00:52:36And washing?
00:52:37Certainly not.
00:52:39Aha.
00:52:40Well, then, yours wasn't really a good school.
00:52:43At our school, we always had, at the end of the bill, music, French, and washing. Extra.
00:52:53But I couldn't afford to learn it. I only took the regular course.
00:52:56What was that?
00:52:57Well, reeling and writhing, of course, to begin with.
00:53:00And then there were the different branches of arithmetic.
00:53:02Ambition, distraction, uglification, and derision.
00:53:07I never heard of uglification before.
00:53:10Never heard of uglifying?
00:53:12I've heard of beautifying, I suppose.
00:53:14Yes.
00:53:15Did I say more?
00:53:18Then there was mystery, ancient, and modern.
00:53:22And then drawling.
00:53:24That was with the drawling master.
00:53:26He used to come once a week.
00:53:28He taught us drawling, stretching, and fainting in coils.
00:53:34What was that like?
00:53:36I couldn't possibly show you myself. I'm much too stiff.
00:53:39And he never learnt it.
00:53:41Never had time.
00:53:43But I went to the classical master.
00:53:45Hmm.
00:53:46I never went to him.
00:53:48He taught laughing and grief, or so they said.
00:53:52So he did. So he did.
00:54:05How many hours a day did you do lessons?
00:54:07Ten hours the first day.
00:54:09Nine the second.
00:54:10And so on.
00:54:11How odd.
00:54:12Not odd at all.
00:54:14That's why they're called lessons.
00:54:16Because they lessen from day to day.
00:54:18Then the eleventh day must have been a holiday.
00:54:21So it was.
00:54:23So it was.
00:54:25But then how did you manage on the twelfth day?
00:54:28Oh, that's enough about lessons.
00:54:31Tell her about the games.
00:54:33Have you ever done the lobster quadril?
00:54:34No.
00:54:35What sort of a dance is that?
00:54:36Well, first you form a line along the seashore.
00:54:37No, two lines.
00:54:38Then after you clear the jellyfish out of the way.
00:54:39That generally takes some time.
00:54:40You advance twice.
00:54:41Each with a lobster as a partner.
00:54:42You advance twice.
00:54:43Set to partners.
00:54:44Change lobsters and retire in the same order.
00:54:45It must be a very pretty dance.
00:54:46Would you like to hear some of it?
00:54:47Very much indeed.
00:54:48Well, who'll sing?
00:54:49Oh, you sing it.
00:54:50I can't remember the words.
00:54:51Will you walk a little faster, said the whiting to the snail.
00:54:54There's a porpoise.
00:54:55That generally takes some time.
00:54:56That generally takes some time.
00:54:57You advance twice.
00:54:58Each with a lobster as a partner.
00:54:59You advance twice.
00:55:00Set to partners.
00:55:01Change lobsters and retire in the same order.
00:55:03It must be a very pretty dance.
00:55:04Would you like to hear some of it?
00:55:05Very much indeed.
00:55:06Well, who'll sing?
00:55:07Oh, you sing it.
00:55:08I can't remember the words.
00:55:10Will you walk a little faster, said the whiting to the snail.
00:55:17There's a porpoise close behind me and he's treading on my tail.
00:55:21See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance.
00:55:26They are waiting on the shingle.
00:55:27Won't you come and join the dance?
00:55:29Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?
00:55:33Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?
00:55:39You can really have no notion how delightful it will be
00:55:45When they take us up and throw us with the lobsters out to sea.
00:55:49But the snail replied, too far, too far, and gave a look askance.
00:55:55Said he thanked the whiting kindly, but he would not join the dance.
00:56:00Would not, could not, could not, would not, could not join the dance.
00:56:04Could not, would not, could not, would not, would not join the dance.
00:56:23The trial's beginning.
00:56:25The trial's beginning.
00:56:27The trial's beginning.
00:56:29The trial's beginning.

00:59:04Oh, yeah. Well, um, uh, Carl, the first witness.
00:59:11First witness!
00:59:13Oh, yeah.
00:59:31Come on, come on!
00:59:38Come on, come on!
00:59:43I beg your pardon, Your Majesty, for bringing these along, but, uh, I hadn't quite finished my tea when I was sent for.
01:00:07Well, you ought to have finished. Where, when did you begin?
01:00:10Uh, the, uh, let me see, I think it was the, uh, the 14th of March.
01:00:1715th.
01:00:1916th?
01:00:20Yes, the 16th. Write that down.
01:00:23And, uh, take off your hat.
01:00:26Ah, it, um, it, uh, it, uh, yeah, it's, um, it isn't, it isn't mine.
01:00:34It's, uh...
01:00:36Stolen, is it?
01:00:37No, no, no, uh, I, uh, I keep them to sell, Your Majesty, you see. I'm, uh, I'm a hatter.
01:00:45A very nervous hatter.
01:00:47Yes, I am, yes.
01:00:48Well, don't be nervous.
01:00:49No.
01:00:50Don't be nervous.
01:00:51Just give your evidence, or I shall have you executed, you know.
01:00:55I, I'm, I'm allowed to do that.
01:00:58I, I can have anyone executed.
01:01:01Power, power.
01:01:02Power, power.
01:01:03Uh, uh, I'm a very poor man, Your Majesty, and, uh, I hadn't begun my tea, and, well, not about a week or so,
01:01:12and what with the bread and butter getting so thin, and the twinkling of the tea, I've...
01:01:19Twinkling of the what?
01:01:20Uh, it began with the tea.
01:01:23I know that.
01:01:25I'm not a fool.
01:01:26I know the twinkling begins with the tea.
01:01:29Sure.
01:01:30I mean, I'm a fleet idiot, am I?
01:01:33Go on, go on.
01:01:34Like I said, Your Majesty, I'm a, I'm a poor man, and, uh, most things twinkled after that.
01:01:41I didn't.
01:01:42You did?
01:01:43I didn't.
01:01:44I deny it.
01:01:45He denies it.
01:01:46See about that part.
01:01:50After that, I, uh, I, uh, I cut some bread and butter, and...
01:01:54After that what happened?
01:01:56Uh, that, uh, that I, that I can't remember.
01:01:59Yes, yes, well, you must remember it, and I'll have to have you executed.
01:02:03I'm, uh, I'm a poor man, Your Majesty.
01:02:06You're a jolly poor speaker, that is for sure.
01:02:09Get down, sit down, and stand your way.
01:02:13Oh, thank you.
01:02:15God bless you, Your Majesty.
01:02:18Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
01:02:48That's the end of that, then.
01:02:52Your Majesty must cross-examine this witness.
01:02:55Must I?
01:02:56Yeah.
01:03:09What a touch made of!
01:03:12Pepper, mostly.
01:03:15Anything you want to add to that?
01:03:18Go away, go away with the pepper.
01:03:25Next witness.
01:03:26Oh, don't let's have another witness.
01:03:30Let's have a...
01:03:32Let's have a song.
01:03:35Come on, lads, give us a melody.
01:03:38Come along.
01:03:39Oh, take the time for me.
01:03:43Come and all swing together.
01:03:48Presence shall be saved.
01:03:51And we all swing together.
01:03:53With our bodies between our knees.
01:04:05Yes, we all swing together.
01:04:08With our bodies between our knees.
01:04:14And we all swing together.
01:04:15Oh, they don't reach verdicts like that anymore.
01:04:20Yeah, okay.
01:04:22Right.
01:04:23Next witness.
01:04:25Alice!
01:04:26Ah, what have you got to say for yourself?
01:04:31Nothing.
01:04:33Nothing?
01:04:34Nothing whatever.
01:04:35Oh, that's very important.
01:04:38Unimportant, Your Majesty means, of course.
01:04:42Oh, oh.
01:04:44I thought I meant important.
01:04:47That's what I thought I meant.
01:04:50Ah, well...
01:04:53...
01:04:57...
01:05:03...
01:05:07...
01:05:13...
01:05:15...
01:05:19...
01:05:23Silence in court!
01:05:25Silence in court!
01:05:27To all persons, it's more than a mile high to leave...
01:05:33...caught!
01:05:35I'm not a mile high.
01:05:37Yes, you are.
01:05:38Nearly two miles high.
01:05:41Consider your silences.
01:05:45Your mercies.
01:05:47No, no, no, no!
01:05:49There's more evidence to come yet.
01:05:51This paper's just been picked up.
01:05:53What's in it?
01:05:54I haven't opened it yet.
01:05:55But it seems to be a letter written by the prisoner to somebody.
01:05:59It must be that.
01:06:01I mean, it can't just be written to nobody.
01:06:04You can't just write to nobody.
01:06:06I mean, if you did that all the time...
01:06:08...
01:06:09...

01:06:22...
01:06:23It isn't directed at all.
01:06:24In fact, there's nothing written on the outside.
01:06:26It isn't a letter at all.
01:06:29It's a set of verses.
01:06:31Are they in the prisoner's hand writing?
01:06:33No, they're not.
01:06:34And that's the queerest thing about it.
01:06:37He's been imitating people's hands and writings again.
01:06:43Please, Your Majesty.
01:06:46I didn't...
01:06:48...
01:06:49...
01:06:50...

01:06:52...
01:06:53...
01:06:54...
01:06:55...
01:06:56...
01:06:57There's no name signed at the end.
01:06:59Well, that only makes the matter worse.
01:07:02You must have meant some mischief or else you would have signed your name
01:07:06like an honest man.
01:07:08That proves his guilt.
01:07:10It proves nothing of the sort.
01:07:12Hold your tongue.
01:07:13I won't.
01:07:14...
01:07:21...
01:07:22...
01:07:24...
01:07:31What's happening?
01:08:01It is not now as it hath been of yore. Turn whereso'er I may, by night or day, the things which I have seen, I now can see no more.
