Thackery
- Mad Hatter: [to Time] Is it true that you heal all wounds?
- March Hare: [sits next to Time and elbows him] Time is on my side!
- Mad Hatter: Why is it that you wait for no man?
- Mallymkun: [covers one eye] I just can't find the time!
- [Cheshire appears behind Time]
- Mallymkun: Cheshire! Where have you been? You're late.
- Cheshire Cat: [lands on Time's shoulders] Actually, I'm right on time.
- [Cheshire disappears and Mallymkun, March Hare, and Mad Hatter all laugh]
- Mad Hatter: [grabs Time's hand] I have time on my hand!
- Time: [losing patience] You silly nitwits really think that I've not heard these cheap jabs before? Your attempts at mockery fall flat.
- Mad Hatter: [plays with Time's shoulder pads] Look! Time is flying!
- Time: [stands up furiously] Enough! No more wasting me!
- Mad Hatter: [nervously] I'm having the time of my life?
- Bayard: [after Alice falls from the sky and into a flower bed, her Underland friends surround and greet her] Alice.
- White Rabbit: [hops up to Alice and hugs her arm] Alice! Thank goodness you're finally here!
- March Hare: It's that girl again!
- Tweedledee: Alice! You're back!
- [the Bandersnatch roars his greeting and pants, smiling at Alice]
- Mallymkun: [to the Bandersnatch] Don't be nice to her. She's late.
- Alice Kingsleigh: Have I come at a bad time?
- White Queen: On the contrary. We were afraid you weren't coming at all.
- Alice Kingsleigh: What's the matter?
- White Rabbit: The Hatter's the matter.
- Tweedledee: Or the matter of the Hatter.
- Tweedledum: The former.
- Tweedledee: No, the latter.
- White Queen: [rolls her eyes] Tweedles.
- [gives them a look as if to say, "Get to the point, please."]
- Tweedledee, Tweedledum: He's mad.
- Alice Kingsleigh: The Hatter?
- [the Tweedles nod]
- Alice Kingsleigh: Yes, I know.
- [climbs out of the flower bed and pulls her hair back in a half-up style]
- Alice Kingsleigh: That's his muchness. That's what makes him so... him.
- Tweedledee: But he's grown darker. Less dafter.
- Tweedledum: Denies himself laughter.
- Cheshire Cat: [appears in the tree above them] And no scheme of ours can raise any sort of smile. We rather hoped *you* might help us save him.
