[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

[birds chirping]

Kim, you'll never guess
what happened yesterday.

I saw David Foster at the bike racks and--

[boy giggles over phone]

-Wait a minute. The walls have ears.
-[Kim over phone] Huh?

And so do little brothers. Big ears.

Brian, I know you're listening
on the other phone.

[Brian giggles]

-Get off the phone, Brian.
-[Brian] Okay. I'm hanging up now.

I didn't hear you hang up.

[Brian in mocking voice]
I didn't hear you hang up.

Oh, why don't you go fly a kite?

Kim, I'll have to call you back later
when you-know-who isn't listening.

-[Kim] Okay.
-Bye.

Sometimes Brian makes me so mad.

Thank goodness there's a place I can go
to get away from my little brother.

[wheels screech]

[Rabbit clears throat]

There it is, Your Majesty.

Ah!

Good work.
They're counting on me, you know.

My speech is the highlight
of the entire Royalty Convention.

Now, where's my name tag?

It's lost, isn't it? I knew it. Oh...

-Oh!
-[chuckles, then clears throat]

Oh, there it is.

Though I don't see why
I need a name tag in the first place.

I know who I am.

Oh, I believe
it's so that the other people

will know who you are, Your Majesty.

Oh! They wouldn't dare not know who I am.

Now, where's my speech?
You haven't lost that too, have you? Oh!

Oh, uh... [chuckles]

[Red Queen coughs]

Is that a cough I'm hearing, Your Majesty?

Since I'm coughing,
that's probably what you're hearing.

Oh. Well, uh, perhaps you should calm down

and take a little rest
before your big moment.

Oh, no time for that.

What I have to do now
is practice this speech.

Oh, yes, Your Majesty.

[coughs, then clears throat]

[in hoarse voice] Friends, royalty...

[clears throat]

[chuckles]

[in hoarse voice] Friends, royalty...

Sign language? What a brilliant idea
for your speech, Your Majesty!

-[sputtering]
-What? What's that?

You want to play charades? Now?

Well, you're the queen.

Very well. Oh, first word.
Uh, sounds like... oh, throat!

Moat, boat, coat, wrote... Hmm.

"This is not a gum."

No, that can't be right.

Let's see. "This is not a gate."

Well, I'm sorry, Your Majesty,

but your handwriting
could be just a little neater.

Or not.

Let's see. "This is not a...

A game"!

"This is not a game.

You silly rabbit, I can't talk.
I've lost my voice."

Oh!

Oh, dear! This is dreadful.
This is awful. You've lost your voice?

Well, how will you ever give your speech,
Your Majesty?

Don't worry.

If anyone can find your lost voice, I can.

-Wonder what he's looking for.
-Loose change?

-It's got to be here somewhere.
-Do you think he needs any help?

-Hey, what are you doing?
-Oh.

The queen has lost her voice.
It's a tragedy. I simply must find it.

Wait, she's lost her voice.
You mean she can't speak?

Not a word.

-[Dee] Or give you orders?
-I guess not.

-So, what's the problem?
-I beg your pardon?

Don't you see, Rabbit?

If the queen's lost her voice,
this is a break for you.

Yeah. 'Cause now you can take a break.

After all, the queen won't know.
[chuckles]

-[phone ringing]
-Oh.

Hello?

[in hoarse voice]
Who said you could take a break?

-Hello? Is someone there?
-It's the queen.

Hello? Hello?
I think it's the wrong number.

It's not the wrong number.
It's the queen! Find my--

[dial tone hums]

But the next call
will probably be from the queen.

I'd better not take a break just yet.

Well, if you really want
to find the queen's voice,

then I guess we can help.

Oh!

Thank you.

It's a clever idea, if I do say so myself.

-Do you?
-Yes.

If Brian insists
on listening in on my phone calls,

then Kim and I will just start speaking
in Pig Latin.

Pig Latin.
You mean like e pluribus "oinkum"?

No, you see, you take a word,

then put the first sound
at the end and add "ay."

So "skip the rope" would be
"ip-skay the ope-ray."

Mm-hm...

Why don't you try it?

No, I think I'll am-scray.

"Am-scray"?

Oh, scram.

[sneaky music playing]

-Oh, what are you doing?
-This will just take a second.

Goodness! What's this all about?

-Excuse me--
-Don't mind me. Sorry to bother you.

What in the world is going on?

-It's not here.
-What?

-Whatever you're looking for.
-Oh, dear.

Wait a minute. What are you looking for?

Oh, the queen has lost her voice,
and I must find it before tonight,

or she won't be able to give her speech
at the Royalty Convention.

-Okay. Sorry to bother you.
-Oh.

Wait a minute. That's silly.

When you lose your voice,

you don't really lose it
like you lose your keys or something.

I never lose my keys.
I keep them on a keychain. [chuckles]

I mean,
losing your voice is just an expression.

They're called "idioms."

It's like... you help a friend
by lending a hand.

Or you get the true story
straight from the horse's mouth.

Ha! That'll be the day.
Horses never get anything right.

It doesn't mean exactly what it says.
"Straight from the horse's mouth" means

you hear it from someone
who knows firsthand.

I believe you mean "first-hoof."

The point is, the queen doesn't need
everyone looking around

for her voice under rocks and bushes.

Oh-- Oh?

And what does she need?

Well, when I had a sore throat
and lost my voice,

my mom gave me tea with lemon and honey.

Tea? With lemon and honey.

[chuckles]

Excuse me, Alice.

I'd love to hear more
of your views on home remedies,

but I have a voice to find. Goodbye.

Well, somebody has to be practical
around here.

I'm going to the Hatter's to get some tea.

-Thank you.
-You're very welcome.

Would you like lemon in your tea?

But of course.

[both laughing]

[zany music playing]

Ah, company! Good day, Alice.

Hi. May I have some tea
with lemon and honey to go?

Certainly.

[both laughing]

The tea is for the queen.
She's a little under the weather.

-What sort of weather is she under?
-Let's find out.

-Crystal?
-[beeping]

Currently in Wonderland,
it's a sunny 75 degrees.

The winds are calm,
and the relative humidity is 23 percent.

Sounds like good weather to be under.

No. "Under the weather" is an idiom.
It means she doesn't feel well.

She has to give a speech tonight,
and she lost her voice.

-Oh, my!
-It's so silly.

Mr. Rabbit thought
she really lost her voice someplace.

He and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
are out looking all over for it.

Imagine that.

-Should we give them a hand?
-Better yet, we can help them look.

I think my attic would be
a good place to begin.

Wait! Not you too.

Oh, why doesn't anybody understand

that losing your voice
is just an expression?

It's an idiom.

It's rude to call people names.

What? But I didn't call--

Oh, no, no, no. I said "idiom."

It's like when someone says,
"Cat got your tongue."

[gasps, then whimpers]

Say, Dum, why would a missing voice
be here in the Mushroom Forest?

Well, where else would it be?

Hmm. Good point.

Ahem. Do you mind?

Mind what?

Do you mind not stepping on my dinner?

Oh, sorry, Caterpillar.
I forgot you eat these mushrooms.

We were looking for the queen's voice.
She lost it.

I thought it seemed quiet
around here today.

You wanna help us look?

No. But thank you for asking.

Your predicament, however,
reminds me of an interesting story.

Oh!

[Caterpillar] Once there was a dog
who lived with a nice family.

The dog loved his family,
and they loved him.

[woman] What a good doggy.

[Caterpillar] One day,
the family went out to do a few errands.

[door closes, then dog gasps]

Like most dogs,
this one hated to be left alone.

-He watched sadly as his family left.
-[whimpers]

The little dog waited and waited
and finally realized his family was lost.

He set out to look for them.

His family was nowhere to be seen.

-[meows]
-Suddenly, he knew where to look.

[siren wails]

As he suspected, they had been caught
by the people catcher.

[chattering]

So he paid their fine...

and they all went home,
where they lived happily ever after

and never left the little dog alone again.

The dog didn't have it so tough.

Finding a large family of four
is a lot easier

than finding one little lost voice.

The queen's voice, little?

That's right!

We'd better start looking in places
where a much bigger voice would be!

Yeah.

[upbeat music playing]

[honks]

I'm sure the queens voice
is around here somewhere.

Well, what do you know?
I wondered where I had put this.

Say, could I borrow that?

It looks like it might not rain.

Of course. I've got dozens of them.

Oh, it's lucky you didn't throw it out.

Me? Throw something out?

Perish the thought.

"A Collection of the Queen's
Greatest Speeches, Volume 1."

A two-record set, vintage Red Queen.

-I heard her latest album went platinum.
-Well, I liked her before she was popular.

-Now, if only we had a record player.
-How about this one?

Perfect. Let's inform Rabbit
and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

Then it's off to the palace.

Here, Your Majesty. See if this helps.

[in hoarse voice] Now what?

Please, Your Majesty,
you've got to give your voice a rest.

Now, no more talking.

Another cup? Certainly, Your Majesty.

Good news, Your Majesty!

-Your voice has been located.
-What?

Now, now, I can't take all the credit,
just most of it.

But you didn't really find her voice.

Not right away.
It took a bit of searching.

-But how?
-Ta-da!

It's a recording
of some of your earlier speeches.

We can play this record
at the convention behind the curtain.

While the record does the talking,
all you have to do is move your mouth.

Let's see what she has to say.

"I am not a puppy."

That can't be. Let's see.

No, no. "I am not a pup tent."

Well, of course.

"I am not a puppet,
and I will not give a used speech."

Don't worry, Your Majesty.
No one will know you've read it before.

Who really listens to speeches, anyway?

Let's try it out.

Okay, there we go.

Now, this is the one you gave before
the Royal Water-Skiing Society, remember?

Oh, anyway, as I was telling you,
I saw David Foster at the bike racks...
