that I'm a depressive.

No room, no room.

Excuse me?

Oh, may I have some tea?

Welcome to the tea party.

A gift?

Most recently,

I did two seasons...

...in the Essex Playhouse

Theater Arts Workshop.

Indeed.

In The King and I,

I was featured as Phra Alack...

...the head servant.

Hmm.

Which role would you like

to try out for...

...the King of Hearts,

the White Knight?

The Queen of Hearts.

Unless...

No, no, no, no, no.

Please, be my guest.

Off with her head.

Phoebe Lichten?

Here.

Your tea party was scheduled

for 20 minutes ago.

"Your tea party was scheduled

for 20 minutes ago."

Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I was washing

my hands.

I suppose you want to read

for Alice.

Hmm.

How strange everything

is today.

Let me think.

Thank you.

- That's it?

- That's it.

You don't want me

to read anymore?

No, thank you.

Can I please try it again?

That won't be necessary.

I'm sorry I was late.

I really am.

I had to...

I have to wash my hands

a certain number of times.

You can try again,

a little slower.

Go on.

Jump.

How strange everything is today.

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?

How'd your tryouts go?

How'd you find me here?

I made thls house.

It took a whlle.

How'd it go?

I think mine went well.

I practiced forever.

I was better at home.

Auditions are stressful.

When I wanted my baklng klt...

I prayed to God every night

for a whole month to get it.

Is that what you have to do?

Well, if you want something a lot,

you have to pray...

...or do something you hate...

...and God will see you deserve it.

I don't believe in God.

Me neither...

...but I did get the baking kit.

So you have to pray?

Or do somethlng you hate.

Like what?

I don't know, P.E.?

P.E.?

But you have to choose

something else.

Four.

Hey, sweetle.

How was school?

Did you have

your tryout today?

I'm concentrating.

I was gonna make a cake...

...you want to help me?

Stop!

Now I can't remember

what number I'm on.

I have to start all over again.

Well, why don't you come inside?

I can't, not until I've stepped

on all the squares in the right order.

Are you, um, pretending

this is Looking Glass Land?

Looks a little like

a chessboard.

Phoebe, what would happen...

...if you didn't step on the squares

in the right order?

I won't get in the play.

That's what this is all about,

to get in the play?

Get back!

Can I help?

- Get back!

- Okay.

Are we making the cake now?

Phoebe?

Where's Phoebe?

Where's your slster?

Upstalrs.

Does she know It's dlnnertlme?
