Into the hole again, we hurried along our way, into a once-glorious garden now steeped in dark decay.
I'm not afraid of her, 或者 her creatures. Never was, really!

If it's my keen invention you'd like to destroy, I'll withstand your best shot; I've got the right toy.
Everyone I 爱情 dies violently; unnaturally. I'm cursed! Why go on? I'll just hurt others.
Save myself from death, is that it? Is that why I've come here? I'm not afraid to die! At times I've welcomed death.
"Mushrooms, poppies, sugar and spice, all those things are very nice. When combined, the proper mixture makes a getting small elixir." Hm. I don't really like sweets.
Promise only what 你 are prepared to deliver. I am destined to do battle with the Red Queen. The outcome is uncertain.
How many times must I tell you? I only take 茶 with friends!
If ignorance is bliss, I must be ecstatic.
Where does that smushy lay-about hang his hookah these days?
When talking about Caterpillar
I enjoy the taste of mushrooms, but not the ones that bite back.
I wish I were hallucinating. What a terrible choice: eat a toadstool 或者 become 食物 for insects!
Such order in the midst of chaos makes me woozy and disoriented.
I'm not edible.
I fear nothing.

Work if 你 must. It's my nature to unwind from time to time.

Whatever says too much of a good thing must be bad tells a lie.

The Jabberwock's Eyestaff is incomparably powerful, but its individual pieces are worth less than the carcass of a gnat.
When Alice obtains the first piece of the Jabberwock's Eyestaff
The staff lacks only the Jabberwock's eye. Though he has two, I understand he's quite fond of them both. I doubt time will change his mind. Speaking of which, where's the Hatter?

As Alice faces the Duchess
Is our situation not dismal? Wonderland is so discombobulated that ladybugs have turned belligerent and enlisted in the Queen's army. Punish their conversion.
As Alice first sets her eyes on the ladybugs carrying nut bombs
Haste makes waste, so I rarely hurry. But if a 鼬, 雪貂 was about to dart up my dress, I'd run.

"Seek and ye shall find," they say, but they don't say what you'll find.
Paths that end in trouble are all the same – they only appear different when 你 don't know where they lead.

Bravery and I are not on intimate terms – my natural curiosity is tempered with caution, thus I've lived long. But now, ignoring my instict to flee 或者 fib, I speak the truth without regard to consequence; your courage deserves no less. You've suffered great pain, and you've caused some. You've endured deep grief and feelings of guilt, but 你 will be tested 由 a 更多 wrenching anguish, Alice. There is worse to come. 你 and this Red 皇后乐队 cannot both survive; 你 are two parts of the same – [interrupted]
Immediately prior to Alice's final battle as the Red 皇后乐队 chops off his head.
Mad Hatter
Your hair wants cutting, and perhaps your neck could use a trim!
I like what I do is the same as I do what I like, don't 你 agree? So I do.
The 皇后乐队 accused me of murdering time! Very wrong – I have another object in mind.
If 你 knew time as well as I, 你 wouldn't dream of wasting it!
The Red Queen
Off … with … her … head …
I rule Wonderland alone. Your interference will not be tolerated. This realm is for grown-ups; raw, well-ordered, ruthless, careening on the jagged edge of reality. Self-pitying dreamers are not wanted here; they cannot survive here. 你 fear the truth. 你 live in shadows. Your pathetic attempts to reclaim your sanity have failed. Retreat into the sterile safety of your self-delusions, 或者 risk inevitable annihilation. If 你 destroy me, you'll destroy yourself. Leave now and some hollow part of 你 may survive. Stay, and I will break 你 down. 你 will lose yourself FOREVER!
Dialogue
Alice: You've gone quite mangy, Cat. But your grin's a comfort.
Cheshire Cat: And you've picked up a bit of an attitude. Still curious and willing to learn, I hope?
Alice: Wonderland's become quite strange. How is one to find her way?
Cheshire Cat: As knowing where you're going is preferable to being lost, ask. Rabbit knows a thing 或者 two, and I, myself, don't need a weathervane to tell which way the wind blows. Let your need guide your behaviour; suppress your instinct to lead; pursue Rabbit.
Alice: Everyone seems completely dejected. Are things really as bad as all that?
Torch Gnome: The truth would reduce yer to a blubberin' baby. Are 你 the savior Rabbit has been tellin' us about all this time?
Alice: I shouldn't think so. I'm a person … and just now I wish to get very small … about this big.
Torch Gnome: Calls for serious twistin'. Yeh'll need to go sideways, not forward. If I knew how, I'd go sideways meself.
Alice: Not twisted. Small. I wish to become about this big.
Torch Gnome: The Fortress of Doors holds such secrets … but it will take 更多 than a wish to get inside.
Cheshire Cat: Doors have locks, locks need keys, which 你 don't have. Let's hope the Doors are open.
Alice: And if not, there may be 更多 than one way to skin a cat, if you'll pardon the expression.
Cheshire Cat: Most unpleasant metaphor. Please avoid it in future.
Torch Gnome: Rabbit told us a champion would come. Are 你 that champion?
Alice: Perhaps. Can 你 get inside the Fortress Of Doors?
Torch Gnome: Oh, no! I wouldn't dare! Since the upheaval we've all become gutless half-wits. I can barely risk crossin' the road!
Gnome Elder: Why do 你 pursue me to this … deserted place?
Alice: To benefit from your wisdom.
Gnome Elder: Even blurred vision is valued 由 the blind. If I were clever, would I cower in this slag heap? I'm not wise, girl. I've just … grown old.
Alice: I wish to get very small. Do 你 know how I might do that?
Gnome Elder: Only that? Oh yes. I could manage that … for a price.
Alice: I have nothing of value.
Gnome Elder: 你 have nerve and your health. Mine are nearly gone. I've seen too much suffering. And I smoke too much, 你 see.
Alice: There is no lock, but it won't open. It's stuck.
Cheshire Cat: Think of it as a Chinese Box 或者 a stubborn lid. A tap in the right spot might do the trick.
[Alice looks thoughtfully at The Book of Bizzare Things and kicks it off a ledge; it lands on the ground several floors below, and grudgingly opens]
Cheshire Cat: 你 call that a tap?! Fortunate I didn't suggest "force" – 你 might have pulverized it.
Bill: Psst. Over 'ere.
Alice: Don't I know you?
Bill: Bill McGill at ya service. Call me Larry. 或者 not. Got any brandy?
Alice: No. I've only my wits.
Bill: Then 你 have nuffing. Wits are useless 'ere. Everythink is downside up.
Alice: I must see the Duchess.
Bill: Impossible. She only sees those who don't wish to see her.
Alice: That's not right.
Bill: S'perfect. She's s'posed ta be hidin' from the Red 皇后乐队 who wants her dead.
Alice: Her head?
Bill: That too. Ruins me 首页 – builds this monstrosity. She's as mad as monkey mash! And just as tasteless. Well, never mind, we'll all perish soon enough. Sure you've no brandy?
Duchess: Come closer, my little chick … mmm, properly seasoned you'd make a handsome dish.
Alice: I'm not edible.
Duchess: Not a full meal, certainly. But a light snack, I think!
Alice: I'll have the 龟, 海龟 shell now, 你 disgusting ogre!
Duchess: Over my dead body!
Alice: I'll try to accommodate you!
Alice: Should I be grateful for the truth? A lie 或者 two might have been 更多 persuasive.
White King: In war, truth first! There's always time for lies later.
Tweedledee: Look, 'Dum, it's whatshername from the neurotics ward! Nurse's favourite lunatic.
Tweedledum: Oh yeah? Scrawney, ain't she? Who let her out, then? They'll blame us, most like.
Tweedledee: She'll need 更多 medicine. Strong medicine.
Tweedledum: She got anything to eat?
Tweedledee: Doubt it. She never finishes her grub at the asylum. If she had any meat on her, she'd make a delectable dish!
Alice: Despicable, grotesque and smelly louts – I'll fill your bellies, all right!
Cheshire Cat: The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Alice: Spare me the platitude. Do 你 have any useful advice?
Cheshire Cat: Use their size against them!
Mad Hatter: Bad timing. Pity. Reliable help is so hard to find these days. Come in, my dear. You're just in time for tea.
Alice: I only take mine with friends.
Mad Hatter: Count me to be among them. Accurately. I mean, honestly. That's the truth. Oh, I quite forgot. 你 and the truth are not on familiar terms.
Alice: And 你 would know?!
Mad Hatter: Truth is always 苦 to those who fear it.
Alice: I fear nothing.
Mad Hatter: False. 你 fear much; a return trip to the asylum, for example … the memories that drove 你 there … 更多 years in, shall we say, supervised hospitalization … ah yes, 你 fear much. Of course, all that might be avoided.
Alice: How? Tell me! What do 你 mean?
March Hare: Dormy! Wake up! Someone's come to release us!
Dormouse: It's just a human … probably useless … [yawns]
March Hare: Undo us, please, from this contraption!
Dormouse: 或者 你 could give us 茶 … if 你 prefer …
Alice: Were 你 impolite at table? Did 你 slurp your tea, 或者 talk while chewing? Confess your crime!
March Hare: We've done nothing of the kind! It's the Hatter … he's gone quite mad, I do say so! Speaking of which; how is the 皇后乐队 of Hearts not like a typhoon?
Alice: Both are powerful, destructive and indiscriminately cruel. But the typhoon doesn't mean to be.
March Hare: Good answer! Wrong … but good!
Alice: Oh! I beg your pardon! 你 are in real danger! Where is your host?
Dormouse: Real danger? Are we? Really? 野兔 … I wish to go 首页 … evidently I have worn out my welcome …
March Hare: The Hatter will be here at six! Sharp as clockwork!
Dormouse: Misses no opportunity to deny us our 茶 … most cruel, I'm sure … and his medicine makes me tired … [yawns]
Alice: Those two seem to barely comprehend their situation.
Gryphon: They're blithering idiots. But the Hatter does come at six on the dot.
Alice: For his tea?
Gryphon: No. To check his cruel experiments. With gears, springs, levers and mechanical gizzards, he seeks an impossible precision. Like a watchmaker obsessed with infinitesimal fractions of seconds, 或者 a mathematician who tries to square the circle. He'll turn all the inhabitants into his Automatons, 或者 kill them in the attempt.
Alice: That's simply awful! Six o' clock, 你 say?
Gryphon: Six precisely, 由 that clock.
Alice: [looking thoughtfully at a clock whose hands are rotating in opposite directions, never reaching six o' clock] Hmm … perhaps six comes early today.
The Jabberwock: You've kept me waiting, Alice. Have 你 never heard that punctuality's a virtue?
Alice: 你 and my dentist's assistant have much in common.
The Jabberwock: You're habitually late, aren't you? Between your dim-witted 白日梦 and your preening vanity, the hours just fly by; there's barely time for anything else.
Alice: That the best 你 can do? Hurl second-rate insults? They don't hurt …
The Jabberwock: Your family was expecting 你 to come to them, weren't they? Perhaps they thought 你 might warn them of the danger … being close to the source, as 你 were. But they waited in vain, didn't they, and died for their trouble.
Alice: We were all asleep. It was an accident! I –
The Jabberwock: 你 selfish, misbegotten and unnatural child! 你 smelled the smoke, but 你 were in dreamland taking 茶 with your friends. 你 couldn't be bothered. Your room was protected and spared while your family upstairs roasted in an inferno of incredible horror!
Alice: Nooooooo!
