The Mad Hatter (Character)

from Alice in Wonderland (2010/I)

The Mad Hatter: There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger!
Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.
[picks up his hat]
The Mad Hatter: Which luckily I am.

The Mad Hatter: What a regrettably large head you have. I would very much like to hat it. I used to hat
The White Queen, you know. Her head was so small.

The Mad Hatter: [as Stayn clutches his throat]

[strained]
The Mad Hatter: Already lost them.

The Mad Hatter: Have I gone mad?

The Mad Hatter: I'm investigating things that begin with the letter M.

The Mad Hatter: [to Alice] You used to be much more..."muchier." You've lost your muchness.

The Mad Hatter: Have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?

The Mad Hatter: Speaking of the Queen, here's a little song we used to sing in her honor:
The Mad Hatter, Dormouse, The March Hare: "Twinkle twinkle little bat, how I wonder where you're at.
Up..."
The Mad Hatter: *Already lost them.* All together now!
The Mad Hatter, Dormouse, The March Hare: "Up above the world you fly, like a tea tray in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle..."

The Mad Hatter: 'Twas brillig/and the slithy toves/did gyre and gimbel in the wabe/all mimsy were the
borogoves/and the mome raths outgrabe.

The Mad Hatter: Only if you believe it is.

The Mad Hatter: [chuckles]

The Mad Hatter: When that day comes I shall futterwacken... vigorously.

The Mad Hatter: Well. The entire world is falling to ruins and poor Cheshire's off his tea.

The Mad Hatter: Your carriage, my lady.

The Mad Hatter: Of course. Anyone can go by horse or rail, but the absolute best way to travel is by hat.
Have I made a rhyme?

The Mad Hatter: That is an excellent practice.

The Mad Hatter: Why is it you're always too small or too tall?

The Mad Hatter: 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the
borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
The Mad Hatter: What was what?
[continues walking]
The Mad Hatter: The Jabberwock, with eyes aflame, Jaws that bait and claws that catch, Beware the
Jabberwock, my son, The frumious Bandersnatch He took his vorpal sword in hand The vorpal blade
went snicker-snack He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. Its all about you, you
know
The Mad Hatter: ...Mind?
[Hatter stops, puts Alice down on a log, and continues walking]
The Mad Hatter: You don't slay? Do you have any idea what the Red Queen has done? You don't slay.
The Mad Hatter: You're not the same as you were before You were much more..."muchier" You've lost
your "muchness"
The Mad Hatter: [Points to Alice's heart] In there.

The Mad Hatter: I haven't the slightest idea.

The Mad Hatter: Down with the bloody Red Queen!

The Mad Hatter: What is the hatter with me?

The Mad Hatter: Yes, yes-but you would have to be half-mad to dream me up.

The Mad Hatter: Rise up against the bloody red queen.

The Mad Hatter: [Hatter looks scornfully at her]
The Mad Hatter, Dormouse, Dodo Bird, White Rabbit, Tweedledee, Tweedledum: Down with the bloody
big head!
