So I am in the process of writing a script to the sequel of 1951 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I have already contacted Disney to get approval to write the script and here is what I have so far. Alice falls asleep as in the first one, but this time, she's not alone. Her cousin, Johnothon goes to look for her and ends up falling unconscience and ends up in Wonderland himself. Alice is wanted for Treason by the Queen of Hearts and finds out that The Mad Hatter and March Hare are sentenced to be beheaded. Can she save them and escape Wonderland with her cousin as she did before?
"Alice's Return to Wonderland"
MARTHA:
Thomas, have you seen your cousin, Alice?
THOMAS:
Why no, Aunt Martha, I haven’t.
MARTHA:
Where do you suppose that girl could be? Have you finished your school work?
THOMAS:
Yes Aunt Martha.
MARTHA:
And your chores?
THOMAS:
They are done.
MARTHA:
Good. Help me look for Alice, will you?
THOMAS:
Yes Aunt Martha.
MARTHA:
I tell you, I cannot turn my back, without her running off. Check the riverbank. You know as well as I do, she spends her time there, nose pressed into those books of hers.
ALICE:
Where am I? Dinah? Dinah! Why, this all looks oddly familiar. What’s this now? Why, that’s me! Wanted for treason by her Majesty the Queen? (Silently) The Queen. Oh, no! Not again!
CHESHIRE:
And the momeraths outgrabe!
ALICE:
Oh no! It’s you again!
CHESHIRE:
Well it most certainly not the white Rabbit. Which reminds me, now that the “Cat is out of the bag”, what brings you here after such a long time? Chasing more rabbits, are we?
ALICE:
Oh no, no. Those days are far behind me.
CHESHIRE:
No matter, it’s good to see you again. Welcome back.
ALICE:
I only wish I could say the same thing! And I hardly call this a welcome.
CHESHIRE:
Beg pardon? Oh! I remember now! All the trouble you started during your last stay. You’ve become quite famous here in Wonderland.
ALICE:
You mean the trouble you started. And I do not wish to be famous. No matter, I am not staying, I am going home. Straight home! Just as soon as I find my way.
CHESHIRE:
Your way? Have you not learned? All ways here, are The Queen’s way! And she very well would have had her way with you, had you not woken up when you did.
ALICE:
That’s it!
CHESHIRE:
What? Do I have a flea?
ALICE:
No, no. I’m asleep! I simply must wake myself up!
CHESHIRE:
Oh but you’ve just got here!
ALICE:
I don’t care! I’ve had my share of nonsense to last me one lifetime, thank you.
CHESHIRE:
Well, if you insist. Oh by the way, you’re not asleep.
ALICE:
But I am! I must be!
CHESHIRE:
It’s not practical!
ALICE:
What do you mean?
CHESHIRE:
For example: if you were asleep, you couldn’t possibly feel me do this!
ALICE:
Ouch! What in the world was that for?
CHESHIRE:
To help me prove my point! If you were asleep, you would still be there, not here. Seeing as you’re here and not there, you are not asleep!
ALICE:
Oh dear! This is all so dreadfully confusing.
CHESHIRE:
Oh, I wouldn’t say that.
ALICE:
Of course you wouldn’t! You’re as mad as anything else here.
CHESHIRE:
Including you.
ALICE:
I most certainly am not!
CHESHIRE:
You must be! Otherwise you would never have come here. As I told you before, we’re all mad here. During your last stay, you associated with more mad people than I care to remember.
ALICE:
That’s it! The Mad Hatter! I think I’ll visit him.
CHESHIRE:
I simply would not recommend it!
ALICE:
I think I know what I’m doing. I’ve done it all before.
CHESHIRE:
That was before. Everything is different nowadays. As I said, I wouldn’t recommend it.
ALICE:
And why not?
CHESHIRE:
You won’t find him there.
ALICE:
Well, where is he?
CHESHIRE:
Who?
ALICE:
The Mad Hatter of course!
CHESHIRE:
It doesn’t seem to come to mind. Although, if I were looking for the Mad Hatter, I would try the dungeon!
ALICE:
The dungeon?
CHESHIRE:
Yes, he was sentenced to be executed by The Queen! He’ll really lose his head over this, if you know what I mean.
ALICE:
Oh dear! I’ve got to save him!
CHESHIRE:
While you’re at it, try not to lose your own. Speaking of which, will you excuse me one moment. That’s better. This thing is always popping off. And it’s no wonder! I knew I had a ***** loose.
ALICE:
Why you’re no help at all!
THOMAS:
Alice! Alice!
ALICE:
He’s no help. I suppose I’ll have to do everything on my own, is that it?
THOMAS:
Alice!
ALICE:
Now what do you suppose he wants now?
ALICE:
Well?
CHESHIRE:
Well what?
ALICE:
But didn’t you just call my name?
CHESHIRE:
Of course not! I was busy practicing a harmony. It’s a trio as a matter of fact! Composed by me, myself and I!
ALICE:
I know you called my name!
CHESHIRE:
No I didn’t.
ALICE:
Oh really? Then who was it?
THOMAS:
Alice!
ALICE:
That sounds like, Thomas! Thomas? Is that you?
THOMAS:
Alice!
ALICE:
It is Thomas! I’m saved! Thomas! I’m here! I can hear you! Where are you?
THOMAS:
Alice!
ALICE:
I can hear you! Where are you?
(Alice and Thomas collide into one another.)
Together:
Oof!
THOMAS:
Alice, where have you been? Where are we?
ALICE:
How did you get here?
THOMAS:
I’m not entirely sure. Aunt Martha sent me to look for you, and I found you sleeping against a tree. After that, an apple fell on my head, and that’s all I remember.
ALICE:
Oh dear.
THOMAS:
No, I’m alright, not even a bump!
ALICE:
No, do you know what this means?
(Thomas is silent.)
ALICE:
It means that you are asleep too! And that we’re both having the same dream!
THOMAS:
That’s impossible!
ALICE:
No it’s true! Nothing is impossible, especially here. I’ll prove it!
THOMAS:
Go on, go on.
ALICE:
Well, do you remember the Cheshire cat I always talked about?
THOMAS:
Of course! How could I forget? But what has this got to do with-
ALICE:
Follow me!
THOMAS:
Slow down, Alice! I can’t keep up!
ALICE:
Hurry, Thomas! We’re nearly there!
THOMAS:
What is this about, Alice?
ALICE:
He was just, now where do you suppose he went?
THOMAS:
Who?
ALICE:
The Cheshire cat! Oh never mind!
THOMAS:
Wait, Alice, I’ve got it!
ALICE:
What?
THOMAS:
If we’re really asleep, maybe we can just yell really loud! I’m sure Aunt Martha or somebody will hear us.
ALICE:
Hmm I must say I’ve never tried it before. I guess anything is possible.
THOMAS:
Let’s give it a try.
ALICE:
Very well.
THOMAS:
Aunt Martha!
ALICE:
Mother!
THOMAS:
Aunt Martha!
ALICE:
Mother!
JACK CARD:
Hold it men! I heard voices! This way!
ALICE:
Thomas, hide!
THOMAS:
What on earth for?
ALICE:
Just trust me!
DECK OF CARDS:
Hup hup hup!
ALICE:
You see?
THOMAS:
Are those, cards?
ALICE:
They are not your ordinary deck of cards!
THOMAS:
This is not normal!
ALICE:
Nothing here is! Wait, shh!
JACK CARD:
They stopped! Have a look around, men!
ALICE:
On the count of three, Thomas, we’ll sneak out of the bushes and make a run for it. Ready?
TOGETHER:
One, two three-
JACK CARD:
Well, well. What do we have here? Why, Alice! Isn’t this a pleasant surprise? Take a look at this men, she even brought a friend.
THOMAS:
Leave my cousin alone you oversized playing card!
JACK CARD:
You’re both just in time for tea with the Queen! She’s been expecting you.
ALICE:
No, thank you. I’m sorry but I haven’t got the time. We are going home! Straight home!
JACK CARD:
But what is your rush? You’ve just got here! We have some catching up to do.
