A WeeBe Querrian Exclusive Interview with The Queen of Hearts.
Querrian: The King of Hearts?
Queen: Always granting pardons. Pardon, pardon, pardon. Off with your head!
Querrian: What? Again? Where’s the King when you need him?
Queen: Take him away, will you? Take him away.
Querrian: But my interview. Let’s finish the interview. You have so much to tell the audience. I mean – your loyal subjects.
Queen: Well then, let’s move on, shall we?
Querrian: Yes. Let’s see now. OK. Oh, here’s something. Now you like to play croquet.
Queen: I fancy the game.
Querrian: Now Alice played a game of croquet with you during her travels to your court, is that right?
Queen: Oh, she was an awful croquet player. Simply awful.
Querrian: Well, when you’re forced to play with a stork as a mallet.
Queen: Those aren’t storks. Those are flamingos. Flamingos are the mallets. Get it right, why don’t you.
Querrian: Oh right. Pardon me. I mean – of course. Flamingos. After all, storks for mallets would be just silly, now wouldn’t they?
Queen: Quite.
Querrian: Now Alice caused quite a bit of trouble in Wonderland, did she not?
Queen: I banished her from the place.
Querrian: After holding a trial?
Queen: The darned girl wouldn’t stay her size. She is the cause of all the misery and mayhem that went on in Wonderland. Off with her head!
Querrian: But she is not even here now. Your husband pardoned her, remember?
Queen: Off with your head!
Querrian: Uh, so let’s get off this subject of Alice, shall we?
Queen: So be it.
Querrian: Now there are other interesting characters in Wonderland. The Mad Hatter, for instance.
Queen: He is quite mad, you know. A word of advice for you, Sonny. Don’t go to his tea parties. They’ll make your head spin.
Querrian: I see. Serving a bit of that spiked tea is he?
Queen: Darned well should be, I suppose.
Querrian: And the Hare? What about him?
Queen: Always late for an important date.
Querrian: And the Knave of Hearts?
Queen: Oh, he’s such a card. Stole my tarts, he did.
Querrian: You made some tarts?
Queen: On a nice summer day.
Querrian: And the Knave of Hearts -
Queen: Took them clean away.
Querrian: I see.
Queen: And that darned Alice defended him. Oh, how I loath that girl.
Querrian: Yes, we understand now. So that’s all the time we have for today.
Queen: Is it now?
Querrian: Yes, Oh Queen of Hearts. Join me next time for another WeeBe Querrian Exclusive Interview.
Queen: You want me to join you?
Querrian: No, Queen. My next show will have someone else.
Queen: Someone else?
Querrian: Yes.
Queen: Off with your head!
Querrian: Of course, you can always come uninvited.
