01x16 - Something to Sneeze At

[bunniefuu]

[birds chirping]

You know what I like best
about making a collage, Dinah?

You can use any crazy material you want,
and somehow it all fits together.

Like red tissue paper...

checkered cloth...

pictures from a magazine...

even pasta.

Boy.

Sure hope I win the blue ribbon
for my collage at the school art show.

[meows]

A blue ribbon. You know, Dinah.

That's what you win
for first place in a contest.

[sighs]

Gee, I don't know.

It needs something else...

but I'm not sure what.

I'll have to give that some thought.

A birthday party?

It isn't my birthday.

No.

[gasps]

A going-away party?

I'm not going anywhere.

No.

No.

[gasps]

No. No.

Nuts! There must be some excuse
for having a party this week.

Surprise!

[gasps] Don't do that!
I don't like surprises.

I think you'll like this one.

Oh...

A bouquet for moi? Oh, how lovely.

I grew them in my very own garden,
Your Majesty.

I didn't know you were a gardener, Hare.

You must have a green thumb.

No. I washed my hands before coming over.

She doesn't mean your thumb is green.
She means you grow things well.

Oh... Oh, yes. Well, I guess I do.

These are a whole new kind of flower.

I bred them and grew them
just for Her Majesty.

These six flowers are the only ones
that have bloomed so far.

Oh, why, thank you, Hare. Oh. [chuckles]

Wait a minute.

If you grew them for me,
shouldn't they be red?

But there are so many red flowers.

I wanted to come up with something new

so they would win a blue ribbon
at the flower show.

Blue ribbon?

As in first prize?

Exactly. I grew blue blue-ribbon flowers
for my Red Queen.

♪ I watered and pruned
And I toiled and I sowed ♪

♪ I weeded and mowed
And I heaved and I hoed ♪

♪ I selectively bred
In my own flower bed ♪

Delightful.

But what are these flowers called?

Why, I've left the honor of naming them
up to you, Your Majesty.

Me?

Oh, I couldn't.

No. No, you couldn't. No. No.
No, that would never do.

Why not? Don't you think I can come up
with a good name for them?

Oh, yes. Yes, of course. Yes.

In fact, you could have a party
to announce the name you select.

Yes, I could, couldn't I?

A party for naming my new nosegay.

Yes. But perhaps it would be better
if you named your flowers

before you named your nose.

Oh! A nosegay is a bouquet of flowers,
you silly rabbit.

I knew that.

A party to name the flowers?
What a splendid idea.

Ah! And you, Hare,
will be the guest of honor. [chuckles]

Wait one moment.

For you, Hare. For your good work.

[crockery smashes]

One for you, one for me and one for Hare.

But I don't see Mr. Hare anywhere.

Don't worry. Hare will be here
in exactly... three seconds.

Unless I miss my guess.

One...

two...

-three!
-Hello, Alice.

So, Hatter, what kind of tea
do we have today?

Today, we have chamomile and orange pekoe.
So... Achoo!

Of course I'll choose,
since you gave me a choice.

-Achoo!
-Okay, I'll choose.

-I love chamomile.
-No, Mr. Hare.

I think Mr. Hatter is sneezing.

I-- I... [sneezes]

[continues sneezing]

Gesundheit.

Goodness, Hatter.
I'll go get you some tissues.

Mr. Hatter, why are you sneezing?

-Well, I've got this tickle in my nose--
-No.

I mean, what's causing you to sneeze?

Gee, I'm not sure,
but it seems to have stopped.

-Here are the tissues you need.
-[sneezes]

-Wait.
-[sneezing]

Take cover.

[sneeze echoing]

Mr. Hatter, since you don't have a cold...

then your sneezing must mean
you're allergic to something around here.

Say, maybe you're allergic
to the Dormouse.

Hey, why don't you blame
someone your own size?

Sorry. I've just heard that some people
are allergic to furry creatures,

like a mouse or a dog.

[sneezes]

Or a hare.

Would you might stepping
to the other side of the table?

[sneeze stops]

See? Whenever you come close
to Mr. Hatter, he starts sneezing.

But whenever you step away, he stops.

So, what's your point?

Mr. Hatter is allergic to you, Mr. Hare.

But I've never been allergic
to Hare before.

I think an allergy can develop
very suddenly, Mr. Hatter.

Gee. Does this mean we can't have
any more tea parties

until you get over your allergy?

I hate to say this,
but sometimes an allergy never goes away.

Really? You're saying I might
never again enjoy a tea party

sitting in my old chair
next to the Hatter?

Chin up, Hare.

There must be a way to work this out.

[sneeze echoing]

Whoo! I almost sneezed my hat off.

Hatter...

I'm afraid we've dunked
our last donut together.

Alice, what can I do?

I don't mind losing my hat,
but I don't wanna lose my hare.

Oh-- [chuckles] Oh...

[sighs]

I can't believe I'm allergic
to my best friend.

How can that be?

Don't ask me.
I'm still trying to figure out

how in the world
people can be allergic to cats.

Every time the Hare comes near me,
I almost sneeze my hat off.

-Wow, this is serious.
-I'll say.

A good friend is nothing to sneeze at.

♪ Well, Hare is my friend
Right to the end ♪

♪ To the end, he'll see me through ♪

-♪ That's true ♪
-♪ But I'm allergic to Hare ♪

♪ It's just not fair
And I just don't know what to do ♪

♪ A good friend will pick you up
When you are down ♪

♪ A good friend will make you laugh
By acting like a clown ♪

♪ And a good friend
Will never, ever let you frown ♪

♪ I'm allergic to Hare
And he makes me sneeze ♪

♪ When he comes too close
I tell him, "Hold it, freeze" ♪

♪ I get down on my knees
And beg him, please ♪

♪ You must go away
Or you will make me sneeze ♪

♪ I know it's hard
And it's just not fair ♪

♪ But I'm allergic to my friend Hare ♪

♪ A very good friend
Is nothing to sneeze at ♪

♪ My best friend Hare
Is nothing to sneeze at ♪

♪ A friend like Hare
Is nothing to sneeze at ♪

If the Hare can't visit you anymore,

perhaps the two of you
could become pen pals.

But we like to have tea parties.

Hm-mm-mm.

Tea parties through the mail
could get a bit messy.

Say...

I've got the purr-fect idea.

Hatter, instead of a tea party
with the Hare,

why not a TV party?

Oh. [chuckles]

I must admit,

I'm still not sure how we're going to have
a tea party with Mr. Hare

if he's not going to be here.

Oh, it's quite simple.
Hare is about to have tea at his house,

but once I tune him in on Crystal,

thanks to our camera, we'll see him
and he'll see us on his TV screen.

Oh... So it'll seem
like we're at the same tea party.

Exactly.

Just like old times.

Well, the picture's working.

Now we have to find out
what channel Hare is on.

No.

-[Tarzan yelling]
-No.

No.

Hmm. This darn remote doesn't seem
to be working properly.

Oh, here we go!

Hare, it's so good to see you.

Yes, it's good to see you. You too, Alice.

Hi, Mr. Hare. Isn't this fun?

Yes, and you're coming in loud and clear.

How do I look?

Oh, from where I sit, you look...

not quite yourself.

[static fuzzing]

[gibbering]

What's that noise?

It's the Hare.

The Hare? Boy, does he need a shave.

Shall we have some tea?

Yes. Yes. Please.

Won't you join me? [chuckles]

A toast, my good friend?


Yes, a toast.

Here's mud in your eye, you desert snake.

[groans] Come on, you silly thing.

Work. Work.

Sorry, it's my day off.

Hatter, Alice, is everything all right
at your end?

It is now, Mr. Hare.

Did you get the special crumpets
I sent you, Hare?

The crumpets?

Oh, they're simply the best, most--

[man on TV] Wonderful way to get rid
of unwanted pests.

[beeping]

I don't think this TV party
is going to work.

Good news, Your Majesty.

Hare just called to say that a new batch
of flowers have blossomed,

so he'll be sending over
a lovely flower arrangement for the party.

Oh, wonderful!

That means that you can hand these out
to my guests as they arrive.

Perfect. Perfect.

Pretty petals for peppy party people.

A little alliteration, Your Highness.

Starting each word with the same letter.

P.

Oh, uh, have you decided yet
on a new name for your lovely flowers?

Oh! Well, I finally narrowed it down
to two choices.

The first one is
the queen's great big blue flower.

What do you think?

You're right. I hate it.

But the other one's better.

Oh, what's that one?

How should I know?
I haven't come up with it yet.

Hello, Caterpillar.

Writing a letter to a friend?

Actually, I'm writing three letters
to three friends.

They're triplets.

Come to think of it...

all my pen pals are triplets.

I wonder why that is.

I must sit down and write a letter
to my friend, the Hatter.

Why don't you just visit him
the way you usually do?

Because all of a sudden,
it seems I make him sneeze

whenever I get near him.

A friendship should be able to withstand
a little sneezing.

It's not a little. It's a lot.

Maybe some people
were just never meant to be friends.

Oh... I wouldn't say that.

Just listen to this story.

Once, there was a dog named Doug
and a cat named Kate

who grew up as best friends.

They played the same games.

-They liked the same food.
-[slurping]

They even learned to speak
each other's language.

-Woof.
-Meow.

-[both giggle]
-But eventually they grew up

and Doug met some other dogs
who made fun of him about Kate.

"How can you be friends with a cat?"
they teased.

"Everyone knows that cats and dogs
don't mix."

And so, sadly, Doug stopped being friends
with Kate.

But Doug's new friends weren't good dogs.

One day, someone complained
to the dog catcher about the bad dogs.

Doug's so-called friends ran off

-and left him to take the blame.
-[yells]

Doug was scared.
He didn't know where to turn.

And then he remembered his old friend,
Kate the cat.

Kate helped Doug hide,
and when the dog catcher came,

he was sure Doug wasn't there,

because as everyone knows,
dogs and cats don't mix.

And so Doug learned
who his true friend was.

From that day, he vowed he and Kate
would always stay friends,

no matter what anyone said.

After all, who says cats and dogs
have to fight like cats and dogs?

Gosh. If a cat and dog can find a way
to stay friends...

there must be a way the Hatter and I
can get around this allergy.

Ding-dong!
Special delivery for the March Hare.

My new suit.

It's here. Oh, thank you.

Lucky I have a portable dressing room.

Would you excuse me, please?

Wow!

I guess it's true what they say.

There's nothing like new clothes
to give you a lift.

♪ When I'm feeling down
To turn myself around ♪

♪ It's off to the clothes shop ♪

♪ I am bound ♪

♪ I try on a coat in my color and size ♪

♪ Some slip-on shoes
To keep me in stride ♪

♪ When my pants match my shirt ♪

♪ Then everything is right ♪

♪ There's nothing like new clothes ♪

♪ Well, how about
Some super-special corduroy? ♪

♪ Maybe a five-button wool sweater ♪

♪ The only thing I surely do know
Is when it comes to clothes ♪

♪ The newer, the better ♪

♪ Not too loose and not too tight ♪

♪ There's nothing like new clothes ♪

♪ There's nothing like new clothes ♪

♪ There's nothing like new clothes ♪

[Hare] Okay, I'm ready.

[heavy footsteps]

Whoa! [laughs]
What kind of clothes are those?

It's an anti-sneeze suit.

Anti-sneeze?

Oh! You mean anti-freeze.
To keep you warm.

No, anti-sneeze.

With this suit on,
I can visit Hatter and he won't sneeze.

Better have a test run first.

Make that a test walk.

Okay, okay, so the suit isn't perfect.
At least I can still visit my best friend.

And I can still look my best.

[sighs] One for you...

one for me...

and none for Hare.

I sure miss him.

So do I.

Me too. No one should be hareless.

How true that is.

-[heavy footsteps]
-[gasps]

[Mad Hatter] Don't move, Alice.

I'll protect us.

[laughing hysterically]

Hello.

[screams]

Eek! Aliens!

I didn't invite any aliens. Did you?

I don't even know any aliens.

It's me.

Hare.

Hare? What in the world,
or out of this world, are you wearing?

It's my new anti-sneeze suit.

Anti-sneeze suit?

[sniffs]

It works. I'm not sneezing.

What a day this is, Hare!
This is just terrific...

[sneezes]

Whoa!

Oh, no.
Even the anti-sneeze suit doesn't help.

Sorry, Hatter.

I thought this would work.

Oh... and don't worry.

I'll remember to stay far away from you
at the flower-naming party.

So long.

I guess it's like they always say.

What's that?

To stay close, keep away.

-My flowers. What an honor.
-Oh.

An honor you richly deserve.

Tell me, Hare.
Were you born with a green thumb?

No, but I think I had a full head of hair.

-Oh! Flower?
-Thank you.

-Flower?
-Thank you.

-Flower?
-Thank you.

[Cheshire Cat] Hey, what about me?

Hey. You know how important
good grooming is to a cat.

[laughs]

Hello.

Flower? Oh...

Sorry, Hatter.
I seem to have run out of flowers.

-There's a bunch over there.
-[gasps]

I can't touch those flowers.
Those are for the queen.

But perhaps Her Majesty will let you
have one after the ceremony.

[tapping microphone, then clears throat]

Welcome, fellow flower fanciers.

We are here today so I can officially name
the new flower the Hare...

grew in honor of a great queen, me.

And now, the moment
we've all been waiting for.

After much serious thought,
I've decided to call my flowers...

[sneezes]

What in the world was that awful noise?

It's Mr. Hatter sneezing, Your Majesty.

He's allergic to Mr. Hare.

But he's standing next to Tweedle Dee.

Perhaps he's allergic to both of them.

-Well, then, Hatter, move away from them.
-[Mad Hatter] Yeah.

As I was saying,

-I decided to name my flowers...
-[sneezes]

Hatter, I thought I told you

to step away from Tweedle Dee
if you're allergic to him.

I did, Your Majesty. Now it looks like
I'm allergic to Tweedle Dum.

-Well, don't stand next to him either.
-Right. [clears throat]

Now, if there are no more interruptions,

-I've decided to name my flowers...
-[sneezes]

Oh, for heaven's sake, Hatter.

Who are you allergic to now?

He seems to be allergic to me,
Your Majesty.

But before he got here,
he was only allergic to Mr. Hare.

Now he seems to be allergic
to all of his friends.

Don't blame me.
After all, I'm above suspicion.

[Red Queen] Well, then,

all the rest of you, step back

and let the Hatter stand by himself
in front of the podium.

[clamoring]

Now, if the Hatter's finished sneezing...

[quavering]

-I've decided to name my flowers...
-[sneezes]

It's the new flowers.

My flowers?

Mr. Hatter isn't allergic to us.
He's allergic to the flowers.

Well, if they were still here,

I was going to call my new flowers
royal blue posies.

[all] Ah!

But now I'm not so sure.

[all] Oh.

We need a name so we remember
to keep them far away from the Mad Hatter.

Let's see.

-How about nosey posies?
-I've got it!

Nosey posies.

[all applauding]

Hare, my good friend.

Now we can be together again.

[sneezes]

Oops.

I almost forgot.

A friend who doesn't make you sneeze
is a friend indeed.

[both laugh]

Tea party tomorrow at four o'clock.

Dinah.

When I said my collage needed
something extra,

I didn't mean a big gray cat.

What I've decided it needs is...

a big blue flower.

Perfect.

Looks like a blue-ribbon collage to me.
