Alice : I'm sorry I interrupted your birthday party. March Hare : Birthday? My dear child this is not a birthday party. Mad Hatter : Of course not. This is an unbirthday party. Mad Hatter : Clean cup, clean cup. Move down, move down, move down. Mad Hatter : Why is a raven like a writing desk? Alice : Riddles? Now let me see... why is a raven like a writing desk? Mad Hatter : I beg your pardon? Alice : Why is a raven like a writing desk? Mad Hatter : [alarmed] Why is a what? March Hare : Careful, she's stark ravin' mad! Alice : But it's your silly riddle. You just said... Mad Hatter : Easy, don't get excited! March Hare : How about a nice cup of tea? Alice : "Have a cup of tea," indeed! Well I'm sorry, but I just haven't the time! Mad Hatter : No wonder you're late. Why, this watch is exactly two days slow. Alice : I was sitting on the riverbank with uh... with you know who... Mad Hatter : I DO? Alice : I mean my C-A-T. Mad Hatter : Tea? March Hare : [slices a tea cup in half] Just half a cup, if you don't mind. Mad Hatter : Do you care for tea? Alice : Why, yes. I'm very fond of tea. March Hare : If you don't care for tea, you could at least make polite conversation! Movie Title: Mary Poppins (1964) as Uncle Albert: Bert : Reminds me of a guy I know who got a cushy job in a watch factor. Uncle Albert : What does he do? Bert : He stands about all day and makes faces. Uncle Albert : Ha ha ha. He makes faces in a watch factory. Bert : Speaking of names, I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith. Uncle Albert : What's the name of his other leg? Bert : Uncle Albert, I got a jolly joke for just such an occasion. Would you like to hear it? Uncle Albert : I'd be so grateful. Bert : Well it's about me granddad, see, and one night he has a nightmare. So bad, he chewed his pillow to bits. Bits. In the morning, I says, "How you feeling, Granddad?" He says, "Oh not bad, a little down in the mouth". [They laugh] Bert : I always say there's nothing like a good joke. Uncle Albert : And that was nothing like a good joke. Uncle Albert : A friend of mine went to buy some long underwear. The shopkeeper asked him, "How long do you want it?" And my friend said, "From about September to March". |
