Mia Wasikowska: Alice Kingsleigh

Alice Through the Looking Glass

Alice Kingsleigh

Mad Hatter: In the gardens of memory, in the palace of dreams, that is where you and I will meet
Alice Kingsleigh: But a dream isn't reality...
Mad Hatter: Who's to say which is which?

Alice Kingsleigh: [finds a young Hatter at the marketplace] Hatter? Hatter? It's you!
[hugs a surprised Hatter]
Alice Kingsleigh: You're you again!
Mad Hatter: Well, if I'm not, I wish I was. Have we met?
Alice Kingsleigh: Yes! Well, no. I mean, not yet.
Mad Hatter: That's funny. Actually, I should know you.
Alice Kingsleigh: Well, we have met once when I was younger.
Mad Hatter: Well, I'm afraid I don't recall.
Alice Kingsleigh: That's because it hasn't happened yet.
Mad Hatter: Oh. When will it happen?
Alice Kingsleigh: Years from now, when you're older.
Mad Hatter: [confused] I'll meet you when you're younger and I'm older.
Alice Kingsleigh: I realize it doesn't make much sense.
Mad Hatter: [pauses] Makes perfect sense to me. I'm Tarrant.
Alice Kingsleigh: [shakes his hand] I know. I'm Alice.
Mad Hatter: [amused] Alice? You seem to have time all mixed up.

Alice Kingsleigh: Alice Kingsleigh: I learned that I may not be able to change history but I can learn from it.

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.

James Harcourt: A full cargo aboard, Captain. Shall we commence with Kingsleigh and Kingsleigh's maiden voyage?
Helen Kingsleigh: Time and tide wait for no man, Mr. Harcourt.
Alice Kingsleigh: Or, indeed, woman.
James Harcourt: Captain aboard. Full sail...

Alice Kingsleigh: The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible.
