1 00:00:08,434 --> 00:00:11,456 Through the Looking Glass 2 00:00:14,337 --> 00:00:17,497 after the eponymous tale by L. Carroll 3 00:00:18,784 --> 00:00:20,129 Part Two 4 00:00:23,749 --> 00:00:29,646 And so, on the garden path walking towards Alice was the Black Queen herself. 5 00:00:32,614 --> 00:00:34,438 I think I'll go and meet her! 6 00:00:46,414 --> 00:00:51,359 I think I'll go not towards her but away from her. Maybe then I'll manage to meet her. 7 00:00:59,428 --> 00:01:06,031 Where do you come from? And where are you going? Look up, speak nicely, and don't twiddle your fingers all the time. 8 00:01:06,798 --> 00:01:13,805 It's time for you to answer now, and don't forget to say "your Majesty". 9 00:01:14,582 --> 00:01:21,005 I only... wanted to... see what the garden was like, your Majesty. 10 00:01:21,815 --> 00:01:31,238 Is this a garden? I've seen such gardens compared with which this would be a wilderness. 11 00:01:32,118 --> 00:01:34,861 And I thought I'd try and find my way to the top of that hill. 12 00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:44,438 Is this a hill? I've seen such hills compared with which this would be a valley. 13 00:01:45,006 --> 00:01:48,935 But... no! A hill can't be a valley, you know. That would be nonsense! 14 00:01:49,669 --> 00:02:01,158 Is it nonsense?! I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary! 15 00:02:05,798 --> 00:02:14,094 I declare it's marked out just like a large chessboard! And there are the chess pieces! Oh!... Oh-oh-oh, how interesting! 16 00:02:14,646 --> 00:02:30,126 How I wish... that I might join... this game. I wouldn't mind being a Pawn, though of course I should like to be a Queen, best. 17 00:02:30,575 --> 00:02:41,063 That's easily managed. You can be the White Queen's Pawn, and you're in the Second Square to begin with: when you get to the Eighth Square you'll be a Queen. 18 00:02:41,606 --> 00:02:49,862 A pawn goes two squares in its first move, you know. So you'll go very quickly through the Third Square—by railway, I should think. 19 00:02:50,965 --> 00:02:53,998 In the Fourth Square you'll meet Tweedledum and Tweedledee. 20 00:02:54,694 --> 00:02:57,286 The Fifth is mostly water. 21 00:02:58,430 --> 00:03:00,871 The Sixth belongs to Humpty Dumpty. 22 00:03:01,806 --> 00:03:07,415 But you make no remark? - I—I didn't know I had to make one. 23 00:03:08,294 --> 00:03:12,278 You should have said, "It's extremely kind of you to tell me all this". 24 00:03:13,597 --> 00:03:22,437 However, we'll suppose it said. The Seventh Square is all forest — however, a Knight on a horse will show you the way. 25 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:35,229 And in the Eighth Square we shall be Queens together, and it's all feasting and fun! 26 00:03:37,382 --> 00:03:38,966 Faster! Faster! 27 00:03:40,950 --> 00:03:47,309 - Is it still far? - We passed 'still' a minute ago. Faster! 28 00:03:50,741 --> 00:03:55,021 - You may rest a little now. - Why, I do believe we've been under this tree the whole time! 29 00:03:56,294 --> 00:03:58,342 But of course, what did you expect? 30 00:03:59,174 --> 00:04:02,118 Well, in our country, if you ran very fast for a long time you'd generally get to somewhere else. 31 00:04:04,637 --> 00:04:12,100 A slow sort of country! Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. 32 00:04:12,534 --> 00:04:17,142 If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that! Let's run! 33 00:04:17,893 --> 00:04:22,823 I'm quite content to stay here — only I am so hot and thirsty! 34 00:04:23,917 --> 00:04:28,574 That can easily be helped. Have a biscuit? 35 00:04:32,269 --> 00:04:39,294 Alice thought it would not be civil to say "No", although the biscuit was very dry, and she almost choked. 36 00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:46,166 While you're refreshing yourself, I shall go. Keep your head up, turn out your toes as you walk — and remember who you are! 37 00:04:47,502 --> 00:04:48,702 Good-bye! 38 00:04:52,596 --> 00:04:57,551 Oh, what's that down there? Just like a swarm of bees! 39 00:04:57,981 --> 00:05:05,671 Of course, they were not bees. In fact, these were elephants, as Alice very soon confirmed. 40 00:05:06,102 --> 00:05:09,031 Though the idea quite took her breath away at first. 41 00:05:12,991 --> 00:05:25,006 What fun! When they ask me at home how well I liked my walk, I shall say — "Oh, I liked it well enough — only it was so dusty and hot, and the elephants did tease so!" 42 00:05:26,455 --> 00:05:29,909 Then Alice remembered that she was a Pawn and had to make a move. 43 00:05:44,332 --> 00:05:49,724 Tickets, please! And where's your ticket, child? 44 00:05:50,659 --> 00:05:58,787 Don't keep him waiting, child! Do you know how much his time is worth? Why, a thousand pounds a minute! 45 00:06:00,732 --> 00:06:05,644 I'm afraid I haven't got one. There wasn't a ticket-office where I got on. 46 00:06:06,171 --> 00:06:15,355 There wasn't room for one. Do you know how much the land there is worth? Why, a thousand pounds an inch! 47 00:06:18,267 --> 00:06:20,244 You should have bought one from the engine-driver. 48 00:06:21,075 --> 00:06:29,925 The man that drives the engine. Do you know how much train's smoke alone is worth? Why, a thousand pounds a puff! 49 00:06:31,118 --> 00:06:32,814 Then there's no use in speaking. 50 00:06:34,518 --> 00:06:37,854 And, to Alice's great surprise, everybody thought in chorus: 51 00:06:38,645 --> 00:06:44,509 Better say nothing at all. Do you know how much language is worth? A thousand pounds a word! 52 00:06:45,557 --> 00:06:52,206 I hope you understand what thinking in chorus means — for I must confess that I don't. 53 00:06:58,430 --> 00:07:01,758 You're travelling the wrong way. 54 00:07:34,047 --> 00:07:41,622 Oh, what funny river-horse-flies! How interesting, where are they flying to? 55 00:07:42,678 --> 00:07:47,659 And that is, probably, a baobab-fly... 56 00:07:48,380 --> 00:07:53,044 But then Alice remembered she was already on the Fourth Line, and it was time to move on. 57 00:08:00,659 --> 00:08:04,221 To the House of Tweedledum To the House of Tweedledee 58 00:08:04,796 --> 00:08:10,924 I hear you saying: "like fairy-tale living" But judge for yourselves: is that easily lived? 59 00:08:11,316 --> 00:08:21,667 You can't do a thing here without being cautious, Because of uncertainly and of obscurity, And lack of knowledge and unpleasantness... 60 00:08:22,115 --> 00:08:28,429 Oh, it's so complicated! And that's where the fun is! You can't take one step here without taking care. 61 00:08:28,828 --> 00:08:33,843 How funny and strange are the rules in this story - 62 00:08:34,467 --> 00:08:38,731 Here everything's different, It's all somewhat "off". 63 00:08:39,547 --> 00:08:43,723 Wherever you look here, You find only riddles! 64 00:08:45,756 --> 00:08:47,809 Wherever you look, yes, wherever you look here, You'll find a big mess.
