Hatter : I thought all you guys were wiped out years ago
White Knight : Well you thought wrong. As you can see I'm fit as a butcher's dog
[slight stiffled cough]
Alice : Are there any others like you?
White Knight : certainly not. I'm a one off! My nana used to say that if I was the only eligable batchelor left in the world
[bends to pick up shovel]
White Knight : there wasnt a warthog or wall flower who'd pollish my escutcheon.
[laughs]
Alice : No I meant are there any other knights in these woods? your... comrads in arms
White Knight : Heavens no, are you mad! we were all wiped out years ago

Alice : Where are we?
Hatter : The Great Library. There's 5,000 years of history hidden here: art, literature, law. Rescued when the Queen of Hearts seized power. She'd like nothing more than to see this burnt to nothin'.
Alice : Who are those poor people?
Hatter : Refugees. Those who don't want to be a part of the Queen's world of instant gratification. We give them shelter and try feed them the best we can, but it is dangerous. If the Queen found out, they wouldn't stand a chance.
Alice : Why does she want to destroy all of this?
Hatter : Wisdom is her biggest threat. She controls people with a quick fix.

Rat Catcher : She's Alice! Tell him who you are!
Hatter : Wow! Really? woooo! Ratty here thinks you're Alice. Of Legend
Alice : Who?
Hatter : The last uhm, the last time a girl called Alice came here from your world she brought down the whole House of Cards. Oh yeah. Made quite an impression. Although, it was 150 years ago. It can't be the same girl. Oysters don't even live that long.
