Alice By Heart Lines - Angus/Caterpillar

This time I'll pass...

You've passed, Harold. It's past.

Harold, Pudding, reporting for duty, Sir.

You try losing your wits on the front, then coming home to the Blitz.

I'll write you a note, darling. You have a good excuse.

One puff--and all this fades away. You're in some other dream.

But, if I am not me...

Whooooo are yoooooou? Remind me.

Well, once upon a time, I knew. Mr. Caterpillar. But, I find I've changed today.

Do you mean--you've changed your mind?

And body too.

Oh don't I know.

I'm afraid I'm some new me.

Well, you are some new you to me-

But, are you part of him?

Or, is she part of you?

Now, I'm confused.

You?

"The first thing I must do as me," Alice said, "is to find that tiny golden key, and make my way to that loveliest of gardens..."

You you you must put put down that book. In your head, that is.

Yes, do.

Set it down a minute--all that Alice-ness...

That By-the-Bookness...

One puff...?

A girl can't change the pictures?

Just one?

But, does it work on...other creatures too?

Let's start with you.

Always thinking forward, and remembering backward?

Chasing before, and chasing after?

Yes. Exactly.

One puff--

But will it really...?

You tell us.

Come. Shall we... disappear?

The way, some say, a lover disappears into the kiss...?

Mary Ann--right. I suppose I...

Got distracted?

To fetch your gloves?

And fan?

As if you meant no more to him than random Mary Ann.

Oh Mary Ann...? Back a bit, where we began...

God is dead. Meanwhile, I'm not feeling so well myself.

At this point, God's only excuse is, he doesn't exist.

Item: She went chasing tail-"

But--

Well, she certainly held my Hedgehog, and wriggled my Flamingo.

In a better place, he is.

Amen, then.

Nothing to be done.

For him, that is. For me, I'll have another bit of bun.

...and Alice found herself again beside a river bank..."

Let's be done with that, love.

Boy is gone.
