01x08 - Through the Looking Glasses

[bunniefuu]

[birds chirping]

Dinah, how am I supposed to write
a thank-you note

to somebody who sends me earmuffs?

[meows]

-Dear Aunt Carol, thanks for the--
-[boys shouting]

[loud bang, boys laughing]

Brian, could you and your wrecking crew
keep the noise down, please!

[sighs]

Thanks for the earmuffs,
they're just what I wanted.

No, she'll never believe that.

-[loud music playing over speakers]
-[meows]

[sighs] How can anybody concentrate
with a little brother around?

I need some quiet.

You know how important it is for me
to keep my garden clean.

-[Rabbit] Perfectly clean.
-Not just clean, spotless.

Absolutely spotless.

-Immaculate.
-Tidy, dust free.

Clean as a whistle, spick-and-span,
unlike any other garden in Wonderland.

Thank you, Rabbit.

As I was saying, there is something
in this garden that's not clean.

It's the birds.

♪ Hey
They're filthy and they're dirty ♪

♪ Why don't they mind their manners? ♪

♪ Fetch me my birdbath planners ♪

♪ I love the plumage
Both wings and tails ♪

♪ But not the gray and grimy ♪

♪ Let me see the silver lining ♪

♪ I like them clean and spotless ♪

♪ Showing all of what they got this ♪

♪ Let those birds see their reflection ♪

♪ That is my royal direction ♪

♪ You know what I mean? ♪

Yes, the birds are far too dirty,
that's why you two lucky Tweedles

-get to build me a birdbath.
-[both chuckle]

So how long do you think it'll take?

To build a birdbath?

-Oh, I'd say about four-- Days--
-Four o'clock it is.

Rabbit, where are those plans?

I'm looking for them, Your Majesty.

Oh! Oh.

Do I have to do everything around here?

-[Rabbit laughs nervously]
-[scoffs]

I can't read this, the print's too small.

-You read it, Rabbit.
-Ooh, uh...

"Addition to royal servants' quarters."

Oh, what's this one?

"Addition to royal shoe closet."

No wonder I can't read anything.

Where are my glasses?

Your glasses, oh, your glasses, of course,
here they...

are.

Why, you clumsy cottontail.

Get those glasses fixed fast,

because at four o'clock, I'll need them
to inspect my new royal birdbath.

[laughs nervously] Oh...

So here are your plans.

-Remember, four o'clock.
-Okay.

-Yeah. Okay.
-Uh-huh. Four o'clock.

[wheels screech]

Closed! Oh, dear, oh, dear, now what?

Oh, I knew something like this
would happen. [gasps]

What's the matter, Mr. Rabbit?

Oh, Alice, I must get new glasses
for the queen,

and I don't know when the doctor
will be back.

Well, maybe this will tell us.

Oh, no, no, dear, no.

That's an eye chart, yeah.

You see it says, you see, G-O-N-E.

It's not supposed to make any sense.

-But that spells "gone."
-Wha--? Oh.

Hmm. "Gone to sea."

Well, of course he's gone to see.

He's an eye doctor.

Not the S-E-E kind of see.

This is the S-E-A kind.

-Oh, you mean sea as in ocean.
-I'm afraid so.

Oh, does it say when he'll be back?

Oh, yes, here it says, "be back to."

That doesn't make any sense.

Let's see...

"Be back to...

morrow."

Be back to... morrow.

If you put the two words together,
it says "tomorrow."

Tomorrow, oh, yes.

Oh, no! Oh, dear.
Oh, this is dreadful, this is just--

I-- Now I'll never get
the queen's glasses fixed in time.

In time for what?

In time for her to inspect
her royal birdbath.

Ooh, she's going to see red.

Not if she wears these.

What are those?

Rose-colored glasses.

They make everything look new
and different and beautiful.

Oh, what stuff and nonsense.

Why, I bet they can't make that
old tree stump look beautiful.

Why don't you try them and see?

Hmph.

Aha! I knew it.

Why, even with these glasses on,
it's still an ugly old-- Wait a minute.

I never saw those flowers before.

May I try them on, Mr. Rabbit?

All I see are the same old birds-- Ah!

Ouch!

Some glasses these are.

I didn't even see this old rock
right in front of me.

Ooh, Mr. Rabbit,
I've never seen such a beautiful rock.

-It's got blue and yellow sparkles.
-Ooh!

It looks quite ordinary to me.

That's because you're not looking at it
through rose-colored glasses

Glad you're starting to see things my way.

It's some kind of magic,
isn't it, Mr. Cat?

[purrs]

Oh!

Well, whether they're magical or not,
these glasses are wonderful.

I must take them to the queen right away.

Well, we've got everything we need.

-Let's make a birdbath.
-Okay, let's take a look at the plans.

-Uh-oh.
-Uh-oh?

These aren't the plans?

Afraid not,
the queen gave us the wrong plans.

No problem, we'll go back to the queen
and tell her she made a mistake.

-Bad idea.
-Bad idea.

So, what do we do?

Maybe Crystal can help us.

Say, Crystal, do you have a birdbath
in your file somewhere?

[beeping]

Well, you got the bath part right,
but we need one that's for the birds.

[tweeting]

Now you got the bird part,
just put the two words together.

-[beeping]
-[Dee] Closer. Closer.

-That's it.
-That's it. One word: birdbath.

Now, do you have any idea
how to build one?

-[Dum] "Not a clue."
-Oh, man.

We better have a birdbath by four o'clock.

Or we'll be in hot water for sure.

There, that's better.

Don't tell me, let me guess...
it's Valentine's Day.

I beg your pardon.

These are the queen's
rose-colored glasses.

-They make everything look--
-Ridiculous?

No.

They make things look better than before.

Reminds me of a story.

-About glasses?
-No, about fish.

"Once upon a time, there was a cat.

A very hungry cat who could barely wait
for dinner time to roll around.

[chiming]

But all he had in his refrigerator
was fish."

I'm tired of eating fish every day.

[Caterpillar] "The cat decided
to visit his friend, the troll.

[Caterpillar] "The cat decided
to visit his friend, the troll.

Maybe he would have something
different to eat.

The troll was about to bake some cookies
and he invited the cat to join him."

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

[troll] You'll love these.

It's my own recipe
for Troll House cookies.

[Caterpillar] "Troll poured a pint of glue
into the mixing bowl,

then he added two cups of sawdust,
a tablespoon of ground pepper,

a can of worms, a small fake fur coat..."

And of course, chocolate chips.

[Caterpillar] "The cat began to feel
not so hungry after all.

So the cat excused himself and went home.

He fixed himself a fish dinner.

And it was the best dinner
he had ever eaten."

That story wasn't really about a fish.

It wasn't?

No, it was about seeing the same thing
in a new way,

which is just what these glasses do.

Indeed.

Look at that rainbow. You see, I never
noticed it before I put on these glasses.

Do those glasses help you see any
Troll House cookies nearby?

Oh, I...

Afraid not.

Aah! Look at the time.

I must get these glasses to the queen.

Which way out?

[groans]

Taking a break already?

Yeah, Rabbit, a bad break.

The queen gave us the wrong plans.

Oh... Well, you just have to figure out

how to build a birdbath without a plan.

Without a plan.

No way.

Well, gee, I really wish
I could give you these glasses.

Me too, if we wore those,
the queen wouldn't recognize us.

That's not what I meant.

No, these are magical glasses,
I'm taking them straight to the queen.

They help you see things
in a whole new way.

-Like wrong plans for a birdbath?
-Of course.

[both] Please?

Oh, all right. But just for a minute,
those glasses are meant for the queen.

Whoa. It's as clear as crystal now.

[beeping]

Hey, that's it.

Now we know what to build.

Rabbit,

these are spectacular spectacles.

[chuckles] Yes, they're the queen's
spectacular spectacles.

Now, I must take them to her, now.

-It looks bad.
-Looks terrible.

It's embarrassing.

-[Mad Hatter] Oh, it's such a mess.
-[Hare clicking tongue]

[Hare] Oh, what must the neighbors think?

[Hare clicking tongue, then sighs]

Excuse me, but I was just wondering--

[all scream]

Oh, no, company!

Too messy. Too messy.

[Rabbit] What is? What is?

Why, my attic, of course.

But no one can see your attic
from out here.

-See?
-[clanking]

I told you it was a mess.

-Oh, I wouldn't say, uh...
-Hmm?

That is, I don't think it's, uh...

Well, yes, it is, isn't it?

Well, then, don't look, don't look.

Or at least put on those dark glasses.

Oh, no.

These glasses don't cut down
on what you see.

In fact, they help you see much,
much more.

Things you never saw before.

Well, do things look better or worse?

Oh, much better, much... better.

May I try them, please?

Oh, all right. But do be careful.

These glasses are meant for the--
The queen.

Well, now, wait just a Wonderland minute.

Suddenly, I see this attic is really
a room full of priceless wonders.

-Oh!
-[clanking]

Mm. What a beautiful treasure.

Hare, try looking at it with these on.

-Well, curl my whiskers, Hatter.
-Yes.

If I've looked at this attic once,
I've looked at it-- Well, twice.

But not till now did I see
such magnificent treasures.

Treasures?

[laughs] Well, if you say so.

But now I really must
get those glasses back to the queen.

So, uh-- So if you don't mind--

[all grunting]

Those royal birdies are gonna wash up
in style now.

[laughs]

-May I take a peek?
-Oh, go ahead.

-That's the birdbath?
-Don't you like it?

-Well... it's different
-Different is good.

Most definitely.

I'd better have a look.

[Alice sighs]

[gasps]

Oh, my carrots and radishes.

I don't think that's what the queen
had in mind.

It isn't?

Well, do you think she'll mind
that it's not what she had in mind?

-She'll mind.
-She'll mind.

Wait a minute. Don't forget, we still have
the rose-colored glasses.

Quite right, Alice. Quite right.

This thing will look just fine

when the queen puts on
her magical glasses.

[purrs] I never said they were magical.

But they are, aren't they?

-Nope.
-Nope?

What do you mean, nope?

When I say nope, I mean... Uh-uh.

-As in, uh-uh, no magic?
-Exactly.

But they make everything look better.
Don't they?

Hmm... Not exactly.

[clears throat] Do you mean to tell us
that when the queen puts on her glasses,

she's going to see that-- That thing?

Who knows?

She might think that thing
is just the thing.

[sniffs, then sighs]

[laughing]

Ooh... [stammering]

Her Royal Majesty, the Queen of Hearts.

Is that it?

My new royal birdbath? [chuckles]

Oh, I almost forgot. My glasses, please.

[laughs nervously]

These aren't my glasses.

Where are my glasses?

But, Your Majesty, we thought
that these glasses were fit for a queen.

We were even told they were magic.

Glasses fit for a queen?
Magic? Let me see.

[gasps] Oh...

How nice.

Well, let me see my birdbath.

What's this?

This doesn't look like the birdbath
I had in mind.

Your Majesty, the plans were-- You see--

It should've--

I bet the duchess
doesn't have one like this.

To be sure, it is one of a kind.
An original.

-An original?
-[both] Uh-huh.

-First one ever made?
-[both] Yeah.

-And you made it for me?
-[both] Mm-hm.

Then I love it.

-Oh!
-[laughs]

Rabbit, have the birdies take a bath
or shower or whatever.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Oh, and, Rabbit, you did good work.

Have an extra pair of these glasses
made up right away.

Oh, yes, Your Majesty. [chuckles]

I don't get it. The cat said the glasses
don't work, but they worked for the queen.


They worked for all of us.

Yes, we all saw things in a different
light, so they must be magic.

No, they really weren't.

You see, you don't need magical glasses,

because it's not what you look at,
it's how you see it.

You know, how you think about
what you see.

♪ It's not the glasses, you must agree ♪

♪ It's the way you think
That makes you see ♪

♪ So change your angle any way you can ♪

♪ Forget the rose-colored glasses ♪

♪ Now, here's the plan ♪

♪ Stand on your head
You'll see things upside down ♪

Turn around ♪

♪ Look at this glass of water ♪

♪ You could say it's half full ♪

♪ Or not half empty ♪

♪ You don't need rose-colored glasses ♪

♪ Is it different from before? ♪

♪ You don't need rose-colored glasses ♪

♪ To see this and so much more ♪

Well, Dinah, did you find a use
for the earmuffs?

[meows]

[boys laughing, then Alice sighs]

Brian's still at it.

Wait a minute.

Aah...

Now, that's what I call a great present.

Dear Aunt Carol, I just love
the earmuffs you sent me.
