So...

She's just as mad as we are.

Indeed.

Yes, terribly sorry, but it is true.

Tell me.. about your mother.

She's dead.

Mouse?.

And a.. what day of the month is it?

The fourth.

Wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa.

They're two days wrong!

again!

Oh yes, I told you that the

butter will not suit the watch.

It was the best of the butter..

Yes!, but some of the

crumbs must've gotten in.

Then how can I.. could have put it in

with the bread knife, did I have, Doctor?

What an interesting watch.

It tells the date of the month,

but not what a clock it is.

Why should it?

Does your watch tells you what year it is?

No, of course not.

But, that's because it stays the

same year for such a long time.

Which is just the case of mine.

Have you guessed my riddle yet?

No. I give up. What's the answer?

I haven't the slightest idea.

Nor I.

You shouldn't waste

your time going around

asking riddles that you

don't have answers to.

If you knew time

half as well as I did

You wouldn't have talked about wasting "it".

"it" my dear lady, is a him.

I don't understand.

I dare say you've never even met time?

Have you?

Well, perhaps not, but I know I

have to beat time when I learn music.

Ah! that accounts for it.

No, he wont stand beating.

If you only kept on

good terms with him.

Are.. you going to be in downtown later?

I as thinking of going.

Not me, you see, I'm not allowed

in downhound anymore.

The last time I went I sang a

little song. What did I sing?

A little bit something like this.

"Twinkle, twinkle little bat

how I wonder what you're at?"

You know the song perhaps?

I've heard something like it.

It goes on, you see.

"Up above the world you fly"

"Like a teatray in the sky"

Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle.

Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle.

Well, Id hardly gone past the first verse,

when a policeman, he comes up to me and shouts

"Hey, stop him!"

"He's madder than a hatter!"

How dreadful and savage.

Yes he was.

Were you arrested?

Me?

Of course not!

No, I'm here now, aren't I?

Doctor?

Well, civil obedience, my lady,

is for the squares anyway.

I have always thought of

myself more of a... Cube.

You've always been a bit crazy,

haven't you?

Crazy?

Listen.

When they come back,

I'm not going with them.

I just wanted you to know that.

You don't know what is like

in here, is not sanitary.

You're not from around here, are you?

I can always tell.

You... you are very pretty,

you know that?

I know.

Yes, you do.

I mean, thank you.

Could you...

I mean, would you loosen my straps?

The've been all so awfully tight.

I can't even feel my hands.

I don't think I could do that.

It's very easy, see?

Pull the strap on the back,
