Of all the silly nonsense, this is the stupidest tea party I've ever been to in all my life.

Oh my goodness, you've just made Jervis' day

"You should learn not to make personal remarks," Alice said with some severity; "it's very rude."

[carrolling]

Good advice. If I listened earlier, I wouldn't be here. But that's just the trouble with me. I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it.

[dark_knightress]

Still with the Alice thing, Beth?

[carrolling]

Why, I hardly know, sir. I've changed so much since this morning, you see.

[dark_knightress]

You realize that you will run out of quotes at some point, right? What then, Beth?

[carrolling]

Oh, but that's nonsense.

[dark_knightress]

...what happened to you?

[carrolling]

I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!

[dark_knightress]

Yes. The great puzzle that I want some answers to.

[ Oh my, would you look at this girl. The Joker'd seen some characters in his time, but she was certainly one taken straight from the book he came from. Or, you know, perhaps a different volume. ]

I can't say I set the bar too high at all for tea parties, see. They're just so very... dull. A bunch of, ah, civilized people peacefully drinking. No, no. They need a little reminder, a little nudge. Even a stupid tea party ca be such fun with the right people and tools.

[carrolling]

If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does.

[laughingalltheway]

Oh no no, there's just no fun in that. People are simply irresistible, see, that I can't help but get involved. Hee hee hee.

[carrolling]

I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.

[laughingalltheway]

Written? What a shame, what a shame, hmm; that the only "ink" I have is all red. You'll just have to listen closer, won't you?

[carrolling]

Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

[laughingalltheway]

Hah. And if I refuse?
