Alice in Washington D.C.
March Hare, Hatter : No room! No room!
Alice: There's PLENTY of room! [sits]
March Hare: (pouring tea) Our Tea Party is only for those who are here.
Alice: But I am here.
March Hare
Alice: I don't know. But I do know I am here.
March Hare: You won't be here when you leave.
Alice: I am not leaving.
Hatter: That may be, but you are also not staying.
Alice: I cannot be both not leaving and not staying.
Hatter: ( pouring more tea) Which is it? Egg yolks are white or egg yoke is white?
Alice: Neither.
March Hare
Alice: I mean to say that there is no truth to either of your choices because egg yolk is yellow.
Hatter: Do you say what you mean or do you mean what you say?
Alice: Both
March Hare: (pouring more Tea) Ah, so again you cannot choose?
Alice: I cannot choose because I do both -- I mean what I say and say what I mean.
Hatter: But that is the opposite of what I asked.
Doormouse: (waking) Who asked who what?
Alice: ... it is not the opposite. You are making no sense.
March Hare: Then we have no choice.
Hatter: No choice.
March Hare: What do you say Doormouse?
Doormouse: More Tea please.
March Hare: (pours, but teapot is empty) Sorry, no more Tea.
Doormouse: No more Tea?
Hatter: No, I'm afraid there is no more Tea because she has forced us to choose the choice we didn't want to choose but had no choice but to choose.
March Hare: And that was her choice...
Hatter: And not our choice.
Doormouse: (to Alice) Do you have any Tea?
Alice: Yes I do, and my Tea is for everyone.
March Hare: You see? She has Tea for everyone, and since you are not everyone, that means she has no Tea for you.
Alice: That is not at all what it means.
Doormouse. I do not know what it means but I would like some more Tea and must now leave to find some. (leaves)
March Hare: You see what you did?
Alice: What did I do?
Hatter: You chased him away because you were only thinking about everyone and not about him.
Alice: Hmm..I do believe I will leave after all.
March Hare: Oh, you can't leave now.
Alice: Why is that?
Hatter: Because we have run out of Tea and you are the only one with Tea for everyone.
Alice: Why do I suddenly feel so tired?
