1 00:00:08,442 --> 00:00:11,067 Through the Looking Glass 2 00:00:14,330 --> 00:00:16,939 after the eponymous tale by L. Carroll 3 00:00:18,771 --> 00:00:20,107 Part One 4 00:00:25,747 --> 00:00:28,610 It was a quiet winter evening 5 00:00:29,779 --> 00:00:38,866 Fluffy, soft snow was falling and it seemed that there, behind the window, was as cosy and good as here, in the room. 6 00:00:42,218 --> 00:00:49,891 Alice was sitting in the big armchair, and little Kitty was having real fun hunting a wool ball across the floor. 7 00:00:56,963 --> 00:00:59,065 Oh, Kitty, how wicked you are! 8 00:01:05,865 --> 00:01:08,458 Listen up, Kitty, can you play chess? 9 00:01:09,650 --> 00:01:24,002 Let's pretend we're kings and queens! You'll be Black Queen and I'll be all the other kings and queens at the same time. 10 00:01:24,843 --> 00:01:31,994 Oh, Kitty, if only you'd sit still for a moment! I will tell you about the house in the looking glass. 11 00:01:32,458 --> 00:01:41,843 First, this room which begins right behind the glass is exactly the same as our living-room. 12 00:01:42,355 --> 00:01:44,882 Only there everything is the other way... 13 00:01:45,402 --> 00:01:51,242 I wonder if they'd give you milk in there? However, I don't know whether one can drink looking-glass milk. 14 00:01:51,874 --> 00:01:54,838 Perhaps it will harm you, Kitty? 15 00:02:00,114 --> 00:02:11,074 Oh, Kitty, how nice it would be to get through into the Looking-glass! Let's pretend there's a way of getting through. 16 00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:27,170 Then Alice found herself on the mantelpiece, although she didn't notice how she had got there. 17 00:02:40,266 --> 00:02:45,803 The room here was not at all so ordinary as it seemed from other side of the looking glass. 18 00:03:13,707 --> 00:03:15,579 Oh, what is it? 19 00:03:19,082 --> 00:03:20,642 They probably don't see me. 20 00:03:22,130 --> 00:03:25,210 It seems I've suddenly become invisible. 21 00:03:30,946 --> 00:03:33,843 That's my baby! 22 00:03:40,448 --> 00:03:46,978 Oh, Lily my kitten! Lily, my royal baby! 23 00:03:48,426 --> 00:03:52,201 - Mind the volcano! - What volcano? 24 00:03:52,658 --> 00:03:57,474 The one that blew me up here. Mind you come up the regular way. 25 00:04:01,690 --> 00:04:06,266 You'll be crawling all day like this... Let me help you, all right? 26 00:04:07,162 --> 00:04:11,523 The King said nothing in reply. He, clearly, could neither see nor hear Alice. 27 00:04:14,314 --> 00:04:22,906 - My dear, I was so scared that I turned cold to the very ends of my... whiskers! - You haven't got any whiskers! 28 00:04:23,738 --> 00:04:29,146 - The horror of that moment, I shall never, never forget! - You will, if you don't write it down. 29 00:04:32,883 --> 00:04:39,402 There Alice had a sudden thought: she took hold of the end of the pencil and began to write herself. 30 00:04:40,107 --> 00:04:48,755 The White Knight is sliding down the poker... 31 00:04:50,914 --> 00:04:53,338 But you wanted to write something entirely different. 32 00:05:21,994 --> 00:05:28,921 Why, of course, - this is a Looking-glass book! And if I hold it up to a glass, I will be able to read it. 33 00:05:30,202 --> 00:05:46,506 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. 34 00:05:47,307 --> 00:05:52,034 Phew, it seems very pretty, but it's rather hard to understand! 35 00:05:53,099 --> 00:06:02,826 And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, 36 00:06:03,395 --> 00:06:11,794 And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! 37 00:06:12,306 --> 00:06:16,107 He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. 38 00:06:21,170 --> 00:06:27,074 Why am I sitting? I must make haste or I won't get to see all that is here. 39 00:06:30,666 --> 00:06:36,481 Saying this, Alice ran down the stairs. Or, at least, it wasn't exactly running, but - how to explain it? - 40 00:06:36,962 --> 00:06:41,810 She floated gently down without even touching the stairs with her feet. 41 00:06:42,274 --> 00:06:46,410 Moving in this manner was unusual yet wonderfully enjoyable. 42 00:06:54,050 --> 00:07:05,667 If I climb that hill, I will see the whole garden at once. And here's a path that leads straight up... 43 00:07:07,858 --> 00:07:09,690 I suppose — no, it doesn't! 44 00:07:12,331 --> 00:07:18,954 Wherever Alice went, wherever she turned, every time she found herself at the house. 45 00:07:23,659 --> 00:07:30,138 This house again! How fed up I am with it - it keeps getting under my feet! 46 00:07:30,642 --> 00:07:36,418 So, resolutely turning her back upon the house, she set out once more down the path, determined to keep straight on till she got to the hill. 47 00:07:36,930 --> 00:07:40,907 And the hill was quite near - near enough to touch with her hand. 48 00:07:48,353 --> 00:07:56,130 How do I get to this hill? Oh, Lily, I wish you all could talk! 49 00:07:57,195 --> 00:08:00,250 We can talk, when there's anybody worth talking to. 50 00:08:01,258 --> 00:08:05,226 And can all the flowers here talk? 51 00:08:06,997 --> 00:08:09,997 As well as you can. And a great deal louder. 52 00:08:10,397 --> 00:08:13,849 It's just that we think it awkward for us to speak first. 53 00:08:16,171 --> 00:08:27,441 - Are there other people in the garden besides me? - There is one flower that has the same awkward shape as you, 54 00:08:27,857 --> 00:08:32,842 and that can move about like you. - She's coming! I hear her footsteps! 55 00:08:33,970 --> 00:08:46,378 Alice looked around and saw the Black Queen. Of course, she found the flowers interesting enough, but could they compare with a real queen? 56 00:08:51,186 --> 00:08:57,323 I hear you saying: "like fairy-tale living" But judge for yourselves: is that easily lived? 57 00:08:57,689 --> 00:09:08,122 You can't do a thing here without being cautious, Because of uncertainly and of obscurity, And lack of knowledge and unpleasantness... 58 00:09:08,459 --> 00:09:14,579 Oh, it's so complicated! And that's where the fun is! You can't take one step here without taking care. 59 00:09:15,210 --> 00:09:24,827 Well, who hasn't dreamed? I, also, have dreamed That I'd enter a story, at least while I slept. 60 00:09:25,938 --> 00:09:36,489 And enter I have, and the story's beginning Seems very confusing, so very confusing It all seems to me.
