BACK MIRACLES 4'3m3f Alice in Wonderland examines Jesus' miracles MOM ---- (afar) Alice! What are you doing up on the fire place? ALICE -- I saw a rabbit run through this mirror, Mama. MOM ---- Get down before you fall. Alice -- I'll be careful, Mama. (fading, echoing) Aaaaaaaaaah! (thud) Agh! Oh, dear. SEYMOUR - Young lady, are you aware you almost landed on me? ALICE --- I'm sorry, I fell through the mirror. Have you seen a rabbit... Uncle Seymour, what are you doing here? SEYMOUR - How do you know my name? I don't know you. ALICE --- Sure you do, Uncle Seymour. I'm your niece. I'm Alice. SEYMOUR - Well, Alice! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. You look... different, like a mirror image of yourself. ALICE --- You look different too, Uncle Seymour. When did you have the surgery? SEYMOUR - Oh, you mean my leprosy is gone. Oh, that wasn't surgery. ALICE --- It wasn't? Well, your leprosy is gone. What was it? SEYMOUR - It was Jesus. ALICE --- (giggles) Uncle Seymour, that is so dumb. Everybody know that Jesus is just a carpenter from Nazareth. SEYMOUR - It's not nearly as dumb as following a rabbit through a mirror. ALICE --- Oh, yeah. SEYMOUR - By the way, Alice, watch where you're walking around here. There's a lot of trap doors. ALICE --- Trap doors? I don't see any trap doors around here, Uncle Seymo... (fading, echoing) Woooooooo! MAURY --- (afar) It's okay, young lady, I'm here. I'll catch you. ALICE --- Ugh! Uncle Maury! MAURY --- Do I know you? ALICE --- Yes, you do, Uncle Maury. You don't recognize me because I am a mirror image. I followed a rabbit through the mirror. MAURY --- What are you talking about? Who are you? ALICE --- I'm your niece. I'm Alice. MAURY --- Oh, Yes! A mirror image. Uh huh. ALICE --- Uncle maury, how did you do that? MAURY --- What do you mean, how did I do what? ALICE --- You caught we. MAURY --- Yeah, so? ALICE --- So, how did you do that? MAURY --- I held out my hands and caught you. That's all. ALICE --- Yes, but your left hand is shriveled. Isn't it? MAURY --- Oh, you haven't seen it since Jesus healed it. Look. ALICE --- Well, look at that! This gets curiouser and curiouser. MAURY --- It's no more curious than following a rabbit through the mirror. ALICE --- Oh, yeah, I.... MAURY --- I hate to interrupt, Alice, but your about to fall through another trap... ALICE --- (fading, echoing) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah. MAURY --- ...door. HENRY --- (afar) Don't worry, Alice. You're going to land on a nice soft hay stack. ALICE --- Agh! Cousin Henry? HENRY --- Yes, hi, Alice. Are you alright? ALICE --- Yes. I'm fine. But you recognized me. HENRY --- Actually, it wasn't you that I recognized. It was your dress, actually your face looks like a mirror image.... Why are you waving your hand in front of my face? ALICE --- You can see me. Cousin Henry, you can see! HENRY --- Well, yes, of course. Oh! You haven't seen me since Jesus healed my blindness. ALICE --- Curiouser and Curiouser. HENRY --- So, I suppose you're looking for the rabbit. ALICE --- You've seen him? HENRY --- Well, yes, he went through that door. ALICE --- You mean this one here? (door open) HENRY --- Yes, but watch out for that first.... ALICE --- (fading, echoing) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! HENRY --- ...step. MOM ----- (afar) Don't worry Alice, I'm here. Mama will catch you! (thud) Agh! ALICE --- Agh! Oh, Mama, it's so good to be home. Mama, where is your bandage? MOM ----- My bandage? ALICE --- Yes, your arm has been bleeding for years, where is your... Mama! Look! There isn't even a scar! MOM ----- Oh, Jesus came by while you were gone. I just touched the hem of his robe and my bleeding stopped. ALICE --- Curiouser and curiouser. MOM ----- That's not good grammar, Alice. Go to your room and do your homework. ALICE --- Curiouser and curiouser. (door open) MOM ----- Alice, you're going out the wrong... ALICE --- (fading, echoing) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
