Transcript
00:00:07There 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 wish there was a major in the world.
00:00:39I mean, those people were living in the world.
00:00:42I mean, they weren't living in the world, the whole world.
00:00:48I mean, they weren't living in the world, the whole world.
00:00:52Or, you know, and it's fine.
00:00:59But there's no way.
00:00:59I'm glad we don't think we won't quite.
00:01:01We won't manage to get such a trickle to each other.
00:01:06Just hold still.
00:01:09Jettles.
00:01:13Even you have to get them on the street.
00:01:20Won't last all for the summer, okay?
00:01:28Yes, that's right.
00:01:29Let's get one out.
00:01:30Let's go.
00:05:52How queer everything is today.
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?
00:06:06I almost think I can remember I can remember feeling a little different.
00:06:17But if I'm not the same, the next question is, who in the world am I?
00:06:25Ah, that's the great puzzle, who am I?
00:06:31I'll see you, I'm I'm using you, I'll see you, I'm getting before you know, you're there.
00:06:39Oh, I'm an idiot.
00:06:42Oh, my God.
00:07:02I'll try to find out all the things I used to know.
00:07:07Let me see.
00:07:09Four times five is twelve.
00:07:13And four times six is thirteen.
00:07:20And four times seven is...
00:07:43...
00:07:47...
00:08:00...
00:08:01...
00:08:01...
00:08:21Curiouser and curiouser.
00:08:27How doth the little crocodile improve his shining tail...
00:08:32...and pour the waters of the Nile on every golden scale?
00:08:53...
00:09:17I 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 favoured by the Pope...
00:09:42...was soon submitted to by the English who wanted leaders...
00:09:46...and were of late much accustomed to usurpation and conquest.
00:09:51Edwin and Morcar, the Earls of Mercia and Northumbria...
00:09:56I have never been so bored in my life.
00:09:59Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:10:02Did you speak?
00:10:03No, not a word.
00:10:05Yes, yes.
00:10:06I thought you did.
00:10:07Yes, yes, yes.
00:10:08I shall proceed.
00:10:10Yes, yes, yes.
00:10:10Edwin and Morcar, the Earls of Mercia and Northumbria...
00:10:16...soon declared for him.
00:10:18And even Stigand, as the Patriotic Archbishop of Canterbury...
00:10:24...found it advisable to go with Edgar Aetheling...
00:10:28...of the William the Crown.
00:10:30While the country still reeled under the shock of the conquest...
00:10:34...the Conqueror followed it by introducing the feudal system...
00:10:38...which was hardly a ray of sunshine...
00:10:41...as it drove a coach and horses through the middle of the Anglo-Saxon Politech...
00:10:47...as it was the...
00:10:49How are you getting on now, my dear?
00:10:53Oh, in that case, I move that this meeting adjourn...
00:10:57...for more energetic measures.
00:10:59And I think a good thing would be...
00:11:01...to have a caucus race.
00:11:03What's a caucus race?
00:11:05Well, best way to explain it is...
00:11:08...for us all to do it, hmm?

00:21:53i
00:21:53i
00:22:16i
00:22:17i
00:22:17i
00:22:21i
00:22:21i
00:22:31You'll never make them people hear in there, you see,
00:22:33because they're like they're making too much noise themselves.
00:22:36I mean, you follow the mean. No, you can hear them.
00:22:39Well, how am I to get in, then?
00:22:56Oh, excuse me a moment. Something seems to be cropping up in this area over here.
00:23:02Invitations from the Queen, but just to play croquet.
00:23:10It's the one, then, is it?
00:23:16Yes, right, then. Thank you.
00:23:18Thank you very much.
00:23:20Just, uh, just think quietly out of sight for me, will you?
00:23:30Now, then, I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:23:35I'll tell you what I'll do for you.
00:23:37Nothing.
00:23:39How's that? Any good to you at all? Nothing?
00:23:41I mean, I wouldn't be able to do it straight away.
00:23:43I'll say that, you see.
00:23:44I couldn't possibly do it straight away
00:23:46because I've got all these things cropping up, you see,
00:23:48I have to deal with.
00:23:49I, well, I mean, you saw just now,
00:23:52something cropped up there, you see,
00:23:54and I'll get, that's the same type of thing
00:23:56I get cropping up all the time, you see.
00:23:58So, naturally, I've got my hands full,
00:24:00but, uh, if I was to do nothing for you,
00:24:03I can't promise I could,
00:24:04but if I was to do nothing for you,
00:24:06I'd have to sort of find a time, you see,
00:24:08when I could squeeze it in.
00:24:10You see what I mean?
00:24:10I think you're absolutely idiotic.
00:24:12Mmm, mmm.
00:24:14Well, maybe I am.
00:24:17Maybe I'm not.
00:24:42Why does your cat look like that?
00:24:43It's a Cheshire cat, that's right.
00:24:48Pig!
00:24:50I didn't know the Cheshire cats looked like that.
00:24:52All of them can, and most of them do.
00:24:54I don't know that any of them do.
00:24:56Oh, you don't know much, that's a fact.
00:25:14Here we go, here we go, here we go.
00:25:17Mind the baby.
00:25:20Everybody minds their own business.
00:25:23The world will turn a great deal faster than it does.
00:25:26That wouldn't be a great advantage.
00:25:28The world turns on its axis every 24 hours.
00:25:34Don't bother me, I never could abide figures, could I?
00:25:41Speak lovely to your little boy, and beat him when he sneezes.
00:25:45He only does it to a night, because he knows he sneezes.
00:25:49Wah, wah, wah.
00:25:54I speak so many to my boy, and beat him when he sneezes.
00:25:58For he can thoroughly enjoy the temper when he sneezes.
00:26:02You'll be a shadow of a night, because he knows he sneezes.
00:26:06Wah, wah, wah, wah.
00:26:13Yes, yes, yes.
00:26:15I speak severely to my boy.
00:26:18I beat him when he sneezes.
00:26:20For he could thoroughly enjoy the pepper, if he pleases.
00:26:26Yes, yes, yes.
00:26:30Here, mercy for a bit.
00:26:50Which way ought I to go from here?
00:26:53That depends a great deal on where you want to go to.
00:26:57I don't much care where.
00:26:59Then it doesn't matter which way you go.
00:27:02So long as I get somewhere.
00:27:05Oh, you're sure to do that if you only walk long enough.
00:27:12What 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.
00:27:21But I don't want to go among mad people.
00:27:25Oh, you can't help that.
00:27:26We're all mad here.
00:27:28I'm mad.
00:27:29You're mad.
00:27:33By the by, what became the baby?
00:27:36I'd nearly forgotten to ask.
00:27:39You turned into a pig.
00:27:42I thought it would.
00:27:47Did you say pig or fig?
00:27:50I said pig.
00:28:17No room.
00:28:20No room.
00:28:22No room.
00:28:23No room.
00:28:23No room.
00:28:25No room.
00:28:27No room.
00:28:31There's plenty of room.
00:28:36Have some wine.
00:28:38I don't see any wine.
00:28:39There isn't any.
00:28:41It wasn't very civil.
00:28:42I'll be to offer it.
00:28:43It wasn't very civil of you to sit down before you're invited.
00:28:46I thought you did invite me.
00:28:48Anyway, the table's laid for a great deal more than three.
00:28:51Ah, your, um, your, your hair once cutting.
00:28:56You shouldn't make personal remarks.
00:28:58It's very rude.
00:29:01Why is a raven like a writing desk, I wonder?
00:29:05Oh, I'm glad you've begun asking riddles.
00:29:07I think I can guess that one.
00:29:08Oh.
00:29:08Do you mean that you can find the answer to it?
00:29:11Exactly.
00:29:12Then you should say what you mean.
00:29:14I do.
00:29:15At least, I mean what I say.
00:29:17It's the same thing, you know.
00:29:19It isn't the same thing a bit.
00:29:21You might as well say that I, uh, I see what I eat is the same thing as I eat
00:29:25what I see.
00:29:26You might just as well say that I like what I get is the same thing as I get what
00:29:31I like.
00:29:33You might as well say that I sleep when I breathe is the same thing as I breathe when I
00:29:42sleep.
00:29:43He, he, he, he, he, he.
00:29:44It is the same thing with you.
00:29:46Mm, it's the same thing with you.
00:29:51How long are you doing?
00:30:11Go, go.
00:30:11Oh.
00:30:13Oh.
00:30:13Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:30:15What?
00:30:15What day of the month is it?
00:30:18I think it's the fourth.
00:30:19Oh!
00:30:21Two days wrong. I knew that butter
00:30:23wouldn't be good for the works.
00:30:25It was the best butter.
00:30:27Yes, but we must have got some crumbs
00:30:29in with it or something. I told you not to
00:30:31use the bread knife.
00:30:33It was the best butter.
00:30:35That's as may be.
00:30:37Your watch tells
00:30:39the day of the month and not what time it is.
00:30:42Of course it does, child.
00:30:43Well, does your watch tell you what year
00:30:45it is? Of course not.
00:30:47That's because it's the same year for so long together.
00:30:49Exactly! Well, it's just the same
00:30:51with my watch. Oh, when
00:30:53Adam and Eve are first deprived
00:30:55of the garden hard by...
00:30:59Oh, 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? I haven't
00:31:07the slightest idea.
00:31:10No, I...
00:31:11Well, I think you might do something better
00:31:13with your time than wasted asking riddles
00:31:15that have no answers.
00:31:16If you knew time as well as I do,
00:31:19you wouldn't talk about it. It'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
00:31:29and I learn music.
00:31:30Oh!
00:31:37Oh, that accounts for it.
00:31:39He can't stand beating.
00:31:41But if you keep on good terms
00:31:43with time, he'll do anything
00:31:44with the clock that you want.
00:31:46For example, supposing it's half past
00:31:48nine in the morning, you just whisper
00:31:50a hint of time, wrong goes the clock
00:31:52and it's half past one in the afternoon
00:31:54time for dinner.
00:31:55I only wish it was.
00:31:58Yes, it might be rather nice,
00:32:00but then I wouldn't be hungry for it, you know.
00:32:01Not at first, perhaps, but you could
00:32:03keep 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.
00:32:09We quarreled last March.
00:32:10Just before he went mad, you know.
00:32:14It was at a concert given by the Queen of Hearts.
00:32:17I had to sing that song.
00:32:19Twinkle, twinkle, little bat.
00:32:22Oh, 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.
00:32:32You fly like a tea tray in the sky.
00:32:36Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle.
00:32:42Oh, well, I'd hardly finish the first verse
00:32:45when the Queen jumps up and balls out
00:32:48he's murdering the time off with his head.
00:32:52I'm dreadfully savage.
00:32:54Oh, yes, yes, yes.
00:32:56Oh, and ever since then time won't do a thing for me.
00:33:00It's always six o'clock now.
00:33:03Is that the reason why so many tea things are put out here?
00:33:06Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:33:09It's always, it's always tea time
00:33:11and, of course, we don't get much time
00:33:14to 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?
00:33:28Oh, whoa.
00:33:29Suppose 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 doormats will.
00:33:45I wasn't asleep.
00:33:48I heard every word you fellows were saying.
00:33:51Tell us a story.
00:33:53You better get on with it,
00:33:54otherwise you'll fall asleep again before you're done.
00:33:59Once upon a time,
00:34:01there 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?
00:34:18Oh.
00:34:25They 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 a 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.
00:35:16I 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?
00:35:33Treacle.
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?
00:35:55Oh, but they were in the well.
00:35:58Well in.
00:36:11Then they learned to draw.
00:36:17And they always drew something beginning with an M.
00:36:22Why an M?
00:36:23Why not?
00:36:26Where am I?
00:36:28Why an M?
00:36:28Why not?
00:36:31Why not?
00:36:33Why not?
00:36:35Why not?
00:36:38Why not?
00:36:39Everything beginning with an M.
00:36:42Such as...
00:36:44Mouse Trap,
00:36:46Money,
00:36:48Memory,
00:36:50and Muchness.
00:36:54I bet you never saw anything like the drawing of a muchness.
00:36:59Really? Now you say it, I don't.
00:37:01Then you shouldn't talk.
00:37:11It'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.
00:37:36Yes.
00:37:36What am I doing it for?
00:37:38Yes, well, that is the question, isn't it?
00:37:42There, you see, it's no good.
00:37:45It's all a problem of colour, you see.
00:37:48The problem of these being coloured white when red was what was asked for.
00:37:54Who's to know?
00:37:55Oh, yes, that's good.
00:37:57Yes, I like that.
00:37:59Yes, who's to know? The Queen, that's who.
00:38:02The Queen doesn't miss a trick.
00:38:04Doesn't look much like a red rose to me.
00:38:07Oh, well, perhaps you'd like to have a go at yourself, then?
00:38:10Yes, perhaps you'd like to have a go at yourself.
00:38:13I think we can do without any help from you, you know.
00:38:15Thank you very much.
00:38:18Look!
00:38:21Mr. Queen!
00:38:23Give me some more carmine.
00:38:25Find this.
00:38:26A little boy.
00:38:28Bye.
00:38:31I've seen a friend of the King.
00:38:33Bye.
00:38:38Bye.
00:38:42Bye.
00:38:45Bye.
00:38:46Bye.
00:38:47Bye.
00:38:48Bye.
00:38:49Bye.
00:38:50Let's go.
00:39:41Ah, yes. And who's this?
00:39:43Yes, who is this?
00:39:45Perhaps I shouldn't ask.
00:39:49Idiot. 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.
00:40:14Oh, yes.
00:40:16And 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,
00:40:35the heart don't grieve over.
00:40:37I think that's for me to judge.
00:40:40Off with her heads.
00:40:44It's a very fine day.
00:40:46Very. 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!
00:40:53Get to your places!
00:40:58You heard what she said.
00:41:20You heard what she said.
00:41:46You heard what she said.
00:50:09Bye-bye.
00:50:10Should be the death of me.
00:50:11Come on, let's get on with the game.
00:50:30Well, here we are.
00:50:33What'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.
00:50:43There's no point spoiling the ship for a heap of tar.
00:50:46Have you seen the Mott Turtle?
00:50:48No, who's that?
00:50:50Well, you'd better ask the griffin about that.
00:50:52He'll be able to let you know.
00:50:57That's just her fantasy.
00:50:59She never executes anyone.
00:51:02Ah, there he is.
00:51:05What's he so sad about?
00:51:06That's just his fantasy.
00:51:09He's got nothing to be sad about, really.
00:51:22This young lady wants to hear your life history.
00:51:27All right, I'll tell it to her.
00:51:31And don't speak a word till I finish.
00:51:48But how can he finish if he doesn't begin?
00:51:50Shh!
00:51:51He's got to get into the mood.
00:52:06When 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?
00:52:19We called him Tortoise because he taught us.
00:52:21Really, you are very dull.
00:52:23Shamed of you asking such simple questions there.
00:52:26We had the best of education.
00:52:28In fact, we went to school every day.
00:52:31I've been to a day school too.
00:52:32It's nothing to be so proud about.
00:52:33With extras?
00:52:35Yes, we learned French and music.
00:52:37And washing?
00:52:39Certainly not.
00:52:40Aha.
00:52:41Well, then, yours wasn't really a good school.
00:52:44At our school, we always had at the end of the bill,
00:52:48music, French, and washing. Extra.
00:52:53But I couldn't afford to learn it.
00:52:55I only took the regular course.
00:52:57What was that?
00:52:59Well, reeling and writhing, of course, to begin with.
00:53:01And then there were the different branches of arithmetic.
00:53:03Ambition, distraction, uglification, and derision.
00:53:08I never heard of uglification before.
00:53:11Never heard of uglifying?
00:53:13I've heard of beautifying, I suppose.
00:53:16Yes.
00:53:17Need I say more?
00:53:18Then there was mystery, ancient, and modern.
00:53:23And then drawling.
00:53:25That was with the drawling master.
00:53:27He used to come once a week.
00:53:28He taught us drawling, stretching, and fainting in coils.
00:53:35What was that like?
00:53:36I couldn't possibly show you myself.
00:53:38I'm much too stiff.
00:53:39And he never learnt it.
00:53:42Never 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.
00:53:51Or so they said.
00:53:54So he did.
00:53:55So he did.
00:54:05How many hours a day did you do lessons?
00:54:08Ten hours the first day.
00:54:10Nine seconds.
00:54:11And so on.
00:54:12How odd.
00:54:13Not odd at all.
00:54:15That's why they're called lessons.
00:54:17Because they lessen from day to day.
00:54:20Then the eleventh day must have been a holiday.
00:54:22So it was.
00:54:25So it was.
00:54:27But then how did you manage on the twelfth day?
00:54:29Oh, that's enough about lessons.
00:54:32Tell her about the games.
00:54:36Have you ever done the lobster quadrille?
00:54:39No.
00:54:40What sort of a dance is that?
00:54:42Well, first you form a line along the seashore.
00:54:45No.
00:54:45Two lines.
00:54:46Then after you clear the jellyfish out of the way.
00:54:48That generally takes some time.
00:54:50You advance twice.
00:54:51Each with a lobster as a partner.
00:54:53You advance twice.
00:54:55Set the partners.
00:54:56Change lobsters and retire in the same order.
00:55:00It must be a very pretty dance.
00:55:03Would you like to hear some of it?
00:55:04Very much indeed.
00:55:06Well, who'll sing?
00:55:07Oh, you sing it.
00:55:09I can't remember the words.
00:55:12Will 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.
00:55:22See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance.
00:55:26They are waiting on the shingle.
00:55:28Won't you come and join the dance?
00:55:30Will 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?
00:55:41You can really have no notion how delightful it will be
00:55:46When they take us up and throw us with the lobsters out to sea.
00:55:50But the snail replied, too far, too far, and gave a look askance,
00:55:56Said he thanked the whiting kindly, but he would not join the dance.
00:56:01Would not, could not, could not, would not, could not join the dance.
00:56:05Could not, would not, could not, would not, would not, would not join the dance.

01:06:01that. I mean it can't just be written to nobody. I mean you can't just write to
01:06:06nobody. I mean if you did that all the time then well I would see the post
01:06:11office would come to a standstill. I mean got to have somebody. I mean it's not
01:06:19allowed. who's it directed to? it isn't directed at all. in fact there's nothing
01:06:25written on the outside. it isn't a letter at all. it's a set of verses. are they in
01:06:33the prisoners hand writing? no they're not. and that's the queerest thing about it.
01:06:39he's been imitating people's hands and writings again. please your majesty. I didn't
01:06:49write it. oh I can prove that I didn't. there's no name signed at the end. well
01:07:01that only makes the matter worse. you must have meant some mischief or else you
01:07:05would have signed your name like an honest man. that proves his guilt. it proves
01:07:11nothing of the sort. hold your tongue. I won't.
01:08:04it is not now as it has been of yore. turn wheresoe'er I may by night or day.
01:08:10the things which I have seen I now can see no more.
