Queen of Hearts: I warn you, child... if I lose my temper, you lose your head! Understand?

Queen of Hearts: 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.

Card Painter: Oh no, Your Majesty, please! It's all *his* fault!

Card Painter: Not me, your grace! The ace, the ace!

[chuckles]

March Hare: Nothing.

Queen of Hearts: Nothing whatever?

March Hare: Nothing whatever!

Queen of Hearts: [shouts] That's very important! Jury, write that down!

Queen of Hearts: Now, where do you come from?

Alice: Well, I'm trying to find my way home...

Queen of Hearts: Your way? All ways here are my ways!

Alice: Yes, I know, but I was just thinking...

Queen of Hearts: Curtsy while you're thinking. It saves time.

Alice: [curtsying] Yes, Your Majesty, but I just wanted to ask you...

Queen of Hearts: I'll ask the questions! Do you play croquet?

Alice: Why, yes, Your Majesty.

Queen of Hearts: Then let the game begin!

White Rabbit: Your Majesty, members of the jury, loyal subjects... and the King... the prisoner at the bar stands accused of enticing Her Majesty, the Queen of Hearts, into a game of croquet, thereby and with malice of forethought, molesting, tormenting, and otherwise annoying our beloved...

Queen of Hearts: Never mind all that! Get to the part where I lose my temper.

White Rabbit: ...thereby causing the Queen to lose her temper.

[Alice reaches the door to escape from the mob]

Doorknob: [tries to open the door] D'oh! I'm - still locked, you know!

Alice: [in horror] But the queen! I simply *must* get out!

Doorknob: [chuckles] But you *are* outside.

Alice: [releases her grip on the Doorknob] What?

Doorknob: [opens his mouth] See for yourself.

[Alice sees through his mouth and sees herself asleep with Dinah also sleeping on her lap by a tree in a beautiful meadow]

Alice: Why - why that's me! I'm asleep!

Queen of Hearts: [shouting from a distance, advancing toward Alice along with a mob of other characters] Don't let her get away! Off with her head!

Alice: [in terror, through the Doorknob's mouth] Alice, wake up! Please, wake up, Alice!

Queen of Hearts: [comes closer with the rest of the mob] Off with her head!

Alice: Alice! Please, wake up, Alice!

[as the mob draws nearer, the screen goes into swirling multicolor until it shows Alice sleeping by the tree]

Alice: [voiceover] Alice! Alice! Alice!

Alice's sister: [changes to her sister's] Alice! Alice! Will you kindly pay attention and recite your lesson?

Queen of Hearts: Now... are you ready for your sentence?

Alice: Sentence? But there has to be a verdict first...

Queen of Hearts: Sentence first! Verdict afterwards.

Alice: But that just isn't the way...

Queen of Hearts: [shouting] All ways are...!

Alice: ...your ways, your Majesty.

Queen of Hearts: And who is this?

King of Hearts: Let me see, my dear. It's certainly not a heart. Do you suppose it's a club?

King of Hearts: Rule 42: All persons more than a mile high must leave the court immediately.

Alice: I am not a mile high, and I'm not leaving.

Queen of Hearts: Sorry. Rule 42, you know.

Queen of Hearts: [after the Queen of Hearts is hit in the head and covered in the table cloth] Someone's head IS GOING TO ROLL FOR THIS!

Queen of Hearts: Off with their heads.
