1 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,896 Through the Looking Glass 2 00:00:12,104 --> 00:00:14,423 after eponymous tale by L. Carroll 3 00:00:15,328 --> 00:00:16,496 Part Four 4 00:00:19,227 --> 00:00:24,177 While Alice, the King and the Messenger were running to see fight between the Unicorn and the Lion, 5 00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:27,221 Alice remembered the words of an old song: 6 00:00:31,225 --> 00:00:40,695 The Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for the crown: The Lion beat the Unicorn all round the town 7 00:00:41,177 --> 00:00:50,929 Some gave them white bread, some gave them brown: Some gave them plum-cake and drummed them out of town. 8 00:00:53,864 --> 00:01:00,496 - Does the one that wins get the crown? - Dear me, no! What an idea! 9 00:01:01,368 --> 00:01:09,857 - Would you be good enough to stop a minute? - Stop a minute? First you'd have to catch it, 10 00:01:10,256 --> 00:01:12,680 and I'm not strong enough; it goes by so fearfully quick. 11 00:01:17,216 --> 00:01:18,280 Breeeaaaak! Ten minutes! 12 00:01:20,633 --> 00:01:26,351 - What—is—this? - This is a child. A living child. 13 00:01:26,651 --> 00:01:31,149 I always thought they were fabulous monsters! 14 00:01:31,491 --> 00:01:35,491 Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too! 15 00:01:35,791 --> 00:01:40,091 Well, if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain? 16 00:01:40,461 --> 00:01:41,599 Yes, if you like. 17 00:01:41,328 --> 00:01:46,347 Then hand round the plum-cake, Monster! 18 00:01:53,354 --> 00:01:58,617 I don't understand! I've cut several slices already, but they always join on again! 19 00:01:59,145 --> 00:02:06,297 You don't know how to manage Looking-glass cakes. Hand it round first, and cut it afterwards. 20 00:02:11,690 --> 00:02:13,210 Lion's piece 21 00:02:18,453 --> 00:02:22,343 Alice couldn't make out where the drumming came from. 22 00:02:22,527 --> 00:02:27,607 "Now they will be drummed out of town," thought Alice, "the sooner the better!" 23 00:02:33,179 --> 00:02:37,404 Ahoy! Ahoy! Check! You're my prisoner! 24 00:02:38,827 --> 00:02:41,083 Ahoy! Ahoy! Check! 25 00:02:44,252 --> 00:02:48,924 - She's my prisoner, you know! - But then I came and rescued her! 26 00:02:51,708 --> 00:02:54,982 It was a glorious victory, wasn't it? 27 00:02:55,414 --> 00:03:02,109 I don't know. I don't want to be anybody's prisoner. I want to be a Queen! 28 00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:08,382 So you will, when you've crossed the next brook. I'll accompany you. 29 00:03:10,086 --> 00:03:15,573 I was wondering what the mouse-trap was for. It's hard to imagine mice living on horses. 30 00:03:16,118 --> 00:03:21,126 Hard, yet possible. I wouldn't like them running all about me. 31 00:03:23,375 --> 00:03:28,450 - I'm afraid you've not had much practice in riding, yes? 32 00:03:28,689 --> 00:03:34,959 - I've had plenty of practice. The great art of riding is... 33 00:03:36,921 --> 00:03:38,776 is to keep one's balance! 34 00:03:39,776 --> 00:03:45,529 My mind goes on working all the same. the more head downwards I am, the deeper are my thoughts. 35 00:03:48,246 --> 00:03:52,646 Are you sad? Let me sing you a song. When I sing it, everyone either cries or... 36 00:03:52,977 --> 00:03:55,385 - Or what? - Or doesn't cry! 37 00:03:56,820 --> 00:04:02,280 So many creatures live in my wood! Hare and elk and badger. 38 00:04:02,814 --> 00:04:08,515 An old wood grouse, hearing a fox, Flies onto a thick branch. 39 00:04:09,009 --> 00:04:15,732 A hedgehog I have, who hurried along To dine with his good friends. 40 00:04:16,175 --> 00:04:22,604 Yet there is no elephant here in my wood, There's no merry elephant here... 41 00:04:28,821 --> 00:04:34,981 A hedgehog embroiders my shirt with a cross And sings me a song in deep bass. 42 00:04:35,305 --> 00:04:41,075 A dear fox scatters my yard with sand And sweeps my room with her tail. 43 00:04:41,652 --> 00:04:48,164 A titmouse flies over my head as it tweets, A gopher's my neighbor and friend. 44 00:04:48,587 --> 00:04:54,847 Yet there is no elephant here in my wood, There's no merry elephant here... 45 00:05:00,406 --> 00:05:05,516 Look, there's your finish line. Now I will leave you, my child. 46 00:05:05,936 --> 00:05:11,729 Won't you wave your handkerchief to me? It may keep me from losing heart. 47 00:05:12,488 --> 00:05:16,906 Years afterwards, Alice could bring the whole scene back again, as if it had been only yesterday - 48 00:05:17,283 --> 00:05:25,213 the mild blue eyes and kindly smile of the Knight, the setting sun gleaming through his hair, 49 00:05:25,463 --> 00:05:28,621 and the black shadows of the forest behind. 50 00:05:39,897 --> 00:05:47,033 Ah, I never expected I should be a Queen so soon! 51 00:05:50,770 --> 00:05:56,770 Please, would you tell me... - Speak when you're spoken to! 52 00:05:54,327 --> 00:05:56,727 You can't be a Queen, till you've passed the examination! 53 00:05:57,257 --> 00:06:03,233 Here is an exercise in Division: Divide a loaf by a knife — what's the answer? 54 00:06:04,745 --> 00:06:10,153 - I suppose..... - Bread-and-butter, of course! No try Subtraction: 55 00:06:10,505 --> 00:06:14,769 Take a bone from a dog: what remains? - Nothing would remain. 56 00:06:15,138 --> 00:06:19,474 Wrong! The dog's temper would remain! - How's that? 57 00:06:19,904 --> 00:06:25,146 - Tell me, what's the cause of lightning? - The thunder! No, no, no! The other way. 58 00:06:25,921 --> 00:06:32,159 Oh, we had such a thunderstorm last Friday! 59 00:06:32,685 --> 00:06:36,850 I mean one of the last set of Fridays! 60 00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:39,800 In our country, there's only one Friday at a time. 61 00:06:40,050 --> 00:06:42,630 Hee-hee, that's a poor thin way of doing things! 62 00:06:43,063 --> 00:06:46,713 Now here, we sometimes take as many as five Fridays a week! 63 00:06:47,096 --> 00:06:52,266 By the way, I invite you to Alice's dinner-party this afternoon. 64 00:06:52,835 --> 00:06:57,525 - And I invite you. - I didn't know I was to have a party at all. 65 00:06:57,681 --> 00:07:02,502 But if there is to be one, I think I ought to invite the guests. 66 00:07:02,787 --> 00:07:06,079 We gave you the opportunity of doing it, 67 00:07:06,865 --> 00:07:09,314 but I daresay you've not had many lessons in manners yet. 68 00:07:18,069 --> 00:07:22,260 Reception is postponed till the week after next! 69 00:07:24,592 --> 00:07:31,395 To the Looking-Glass world it was Alice that said, "I've a sceptre in hand, I've a crown on my head; 70 00:07:31,656 --> 00:07:39,584 Let the Looking-Glass creatures, whatever they be, Come and dine with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me." 71 00:07:40,517 --> 00:07:48,780 Let me introduce you: Alice—Mutton; Mutton—Alice. 72 00:07:49,998 --> 00:07:52,678 - May I give you a slice? - Certainly not! 73 00:07:52,995 --> 00:07:56,277 It isn't etiquette to cut any one you've been introduced to. 74 00:07:56,611 --> 00:07:59,014 Remove the joint! 75 00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:02,655 I won't be introduced to the pudding, please!

The Black Queen was Kitty! 84 00:08:59,276 --> 00:09:03,596 But Kitty only purred in reply, and pretended it hadn't heard Alice. 85 00:09:03,941 --> 00:09:07,237 It is a very inconvenient habit of kittens 86 00:09:07,693 --> 00:09:13,701 that, whatever you say to them, they always purr. 87 00:09:18,469 --> 00:09:24,732 I hear you saying: "like fairy-tale living" But judge for yourselves: is that easily lived? 88 00:09:25,173 --> 00:09:35,388 You can't do a thing here without being cautious, Because of uncertainly and of obscurity, And lack of knowledge and unpleasantness... 89 00:09:35,711 --> 00:09:42,136 Oh, it's so complicated! And that's where the fun is! You can't take one step here without taking care. 90 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:47,831 I raced through the story on a path of danger, 91 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,705 I wanted to quickly Reach the denouement. 92 00:09:53,328 --> 00:09:57,848 Now, the denouement's here, And I'm a bit sorry 93 00:09:59,368 --> 00:10:03,842 Recalling my story As I'm growing up.
