INT. THE ROUND HALL - DAY 12

WHAM! She hits bottom, smacking her head on a wooden floor.

ALICE:

Ah!

Wind knocked out, she gasps for air, then she sits up,

rubbing the bump on her forehead. She’s in a round hall with

many doors. She gets up and tries a door. It’s locked. She

tries another one and another. She knocks.

ALICE (CONT’D)

Hello? Hello! Anyone there?

No answer. She moves around the hall. Every door locked.

She sees a three-legged glass table with a small key sitting

on top. She picks up the key and tries it in a door. It’s

too small for the lock.

She tries it in a few doors, too small. She comes upon a

curtain and pulls it aside to reveal a little door about two

feet high.

She tries the key in the door. It fits. She opens the

little door and bends down to look through to the other side.

THROUGH THE SMALL DOOR

She sees a garden with a fountain. She tries to fit through

the door, but her shoulders get stuck. She pulls back.

Stumped, she goes back to the table and replaces the key.

She looks at a label. “DRINK ME”. She sniffs the contents,

In a moment, she notices that the table is getting larger.

ALICE (CONT’D)

That’s curious.

Alice SHRINKS to two feet high.

HER POV:

The doors loom above her. She takes a step and trips on her

now-oversized clothes. Dragging them behind, she tries to

open the door. But it’s still locked. She groans as she

realizes what she’s done. She goes back to the glass table

where she can see the gold key sitting on top.

CUT TO:

13 ON ALICE - THROUGH A KEYHOLE 13

We hear VOICES as they watch Alice through a keyhole.

DODO (O.S.)

You’d think she would remember this

from the first time.

THE DORMOUSE (O.S.)

You’ve brought the wrong Alice.

WHITE RABBIT (O.S.)

She’s the right one. I’m certain of

it.

14 INT. THE ROUND HALL - CONT. 14

Alice attempts to climb the table leg, but gets tangled in

her too-big clothes and slides off. She notices a little box

under the table. She looks around for the unseen person.

ALICE:
