Alice and Gibby, New Scenes - Miss White Rabbit, Walrus and Jabberwock
Some further scene outlines, fleshing out the "Alice and Gibby's Wonderland Romance" story treatment. http://hitrecord.org/records/45194 and http://hitrecord.org/records/45529
All of this is very sketchy, so feeback and further contributions are certainly appreciated.
GIBBY MEETS MISS WHITE RABBIT
Gibby, now separated from Alice, is desperately searching throughout Wonderland for her.
He is following a small stream when he enters a lush meadow of wild vegetables. A short way further on he encounters Miss White Rabbit. She is sitting upon a large rock, munching a large carrot and sobbing.
Gibby asks her what is wrong, and she replies that she fears she has lost her beloved, because she was late for their very important date. Gibby replies that he too fears he may have lost his beloved Alice, due to a silly spat involving her father.
She continues that he is obsessed with time, but that he somehow can make no time for her. She told him she could not make their date, but he insisted that it was the only time in his busy schedule.
Gibby tells her how there is always an angle, some indirect way to handle what seems like an impossible shot. Miss Rabbit seems confused, so he explains. "There is usually some indirect way around what seems like an insurmountable problem. If time is the problem, maybe you can go around it, and somehow make more time for each other." Miss Rabbit then nods and begins to brainstorm some ideas, based on the idea that time and space in Wonderland is not necessarily fixed.
Gibby then explains his own situation with Alice. Miss Rabbit tells him that finding your beloved is the easy problem. All you have to do is follow your heart. If you are truly meant for each other, your hearts will lead you to the very same place. Gibby thanks her, and from that point on, will use everything he knows about Alice to predict where he thinks she will be. He will just miss crossing paths with her two or three times in the course of the adventure.
Alice, Gibby, and the re-united White Rabbit and Miss Rabbit will all meet up again after the climax on Nov. 4th, when it is time for the White Rabbit to again open the portal to the "real world", which allows Alice and Gibby to return.
[Option: Gibby and Miss Rabbit might decide to travel together, if they realize that they are looking for the same place - where The White Rabbit and Alice and Gibby must all meet up at the end, for them to return to the "real world".]
[At this point, the action switches back to Alice, and perhaps other intervening scenes]
GIBBY MEETS THE TWINETTES
Gibby encounters Sweetiepie and Honeypie, twin sisters who are married to Tweedledee and Tweedledum. They will read "The Walrus and the Carpenter", (which in a film version we could see played out, perhaps animated as a film within the film.)
Gibby thinks the poem is about naive and foolish people who trust too easily, something he, with his years of street smarts, is certainly not vulnerable to. He is a consummate judge of character.
Later, he will nearly fall prey to a dangerous foe [who? what is the scheme?] who seems to be his ally. At the last minute, he will remember the poem, become suspicious, and avoid death in the nick of time. He learns a lesson about the dangers of his own overconfidence.
[The action now switches back to Alice, and other scenes follow.]
GIBBY SAVES ALICE FROM THE JABBERWOCK
The climactic scene, Gibby finally locates Alice, just in time to save her from certain death as she is caught in the middle of the great battle between the Jabberwock and the fruminous Bandersnatch. Lacking the vorpal sword, he cleverly plays the two monsters against each other, allowing them do destroy each other, while he concentrates on rescuing Alice. He does so in part by using a mushroom to become very small, allowing them to hide in places the monsters can't reach.
All of this is very sketchy, so feeback and further contributions are certainly appreciated.
