...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

Bow-Street Lock-Up#

4_1#

Dialogue for Alice and some inmates, meant to be used throughout the gaol.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
4_1_C_Alice	None	Being on familiar terms with the local jailor probably is not a good sign.
4_1_D_Alice	None	I've been down this way before. Knowledge of what frightens me, doesn't lessen my fear.
4_1_E_Alice	None	I've brought the beast to London. My hideous memories will kill me and corrupt the world.
4_1_F_1_Prisoner_ALT	None	Oh, Alice, what have you done?
4_1_F_2_Prisoner_ALT	None	What crime deserves this penalty?
4_1_F_3_Prisoner_ALT	None	Whose guilt is punished?
4_1_F_4_Prisoner_ALT	None	Evil unloosed!
4_1_F_5_Prisoner_ALT	None	We're lost.
4_1_F_6_Prisoner_ALT	None	The horror! The terror!
4_1_F_7_Prisoner_ALT	None	Doomed to destruction.
4_1_F_8_Prisoner_ALT	None	Stop it. Kill it. Derail it.
4_1_H_Alice	None	My brain breaks and the world explodes!
4_1_I_Alice	None	Bad to worse? Frying pan to fire? Scary to horrific. My life's a metaphor for turning the merely terrible into disastrous!
4_1_K_Alice	None	They are confused, but they're reading my thoughts.

4_1_1#

An unused line for Pris Witless, likely another one of Alice's hallucinations.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
4_1_1_D_Pris	None	Yell and scream and curse the end of the world as we know it. Random biter, you were, too. Dr. Wilson considered a long run in solitary confined by a straight-jacket. I was all for it. Fat lot of good it did.

4_1_4#

Not much context as to what's happening here.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
4_1_4_C_Lizzie	None	Smells like a privy, papa. Must you do that in here?

Queensland#

4_2#

Not sure where these lines would have been used but there are three character names labeled in the files: Jack, the Black Queen and the Red Queen. None of these characters ever appeared nor got mentioned in the final game.

Filename	Audio	Transcript	Notes
4_2_A_Alice	None	Those cards were once my allies. In my hands "Want to play 52 pick-up?" was not an idle question. It was a death sentence.
4_2_B_Alice	None	A cloud of vaporous forboding scars the scene. Like a spider floating in the Sunday soup. The Queen lives!
4_2_C_Jack	None	What's she doing here? Hasn't she done enough damage?	The name may refer to the Jack or Knave of Hearts, a minor character in the original Alice in Wonderland novel.
4_2_F_BlackQueen	None	All queens are not created equal, Pernicious Nonentity, as you know. But insults to one royal personage are felt by all.
4_2_G_RedQueen	None	You left here with your life last time. I suppose you're back to wallow in your victory. Let me tell you my girl... too clever by half... not as pretty as she thinks she is and eats everything in sight... With no manners and less deportment.

4_3#

These lines might have been used when Alice was traversing across the broken bridge that lead to the Queen's castle.

Filename	Audio	Transcript	Notes
4_3_A_Alice	None	This could be the original "road less traveled". The once royal road's in ruins. I suppose nobody visits the Queen anymore. For a good reason.
4_3_B_Alice	None	She's wrung the life from the blameless station that served her domain. She wrapped her lethal limbs around it, squeezed, then sloughed them off, and left the station for dead. Despite her angry threats she was loathe to kill her own.	Referring to the Looking Glass Railway station outside the castle.
4_3_C_Alice	None	Ach! When the one thing you're really hoping doesn't happen, always happens - what do you call that? Alice's law perhaps.
4_3_D_Alice	None	This is not my work! I did some damage last time I was here, broke some heads, stole some horses as they say. But I'm not responsible for this. I'm not guilty. I'm not.
4_3_E_Alice	None	Evil days for the nobility! When they lose their heads, they've lost everything. And to a two-faced cardboard nobody!

4_4#

Dialogue for when navigating throughout the Queen's castle.

Filename	Audio	Transcript	Notes
4_4_B_Alice		Wonderland could surely do without marmoreal versions of disagreeable characters. I would have thought the originals were sufficiently stony.
4_4_C_Alice		So much for a stealthy approach.	Enemies are alerted of Alice's presence.
4_4_D_Queen	None	It's her! She's come for the toys. She wants my dolls. She'll take my kingdom, my crown. Find her. Kill her.Just, just... Off with her head! Off with her... everything! Guilty of... guilty of, of... Guilty as charged!	The Queen of Hearts also gets alerted and orders her minions to kill Alice.
4_4_E_Queen	None	She's aimless; shiftless; pointless; fruitless; ambiguous. Run her down; run her off; make her take out the rubbish; make her sad. Unwelcome visitor: return from whence you came! Where is whence? Ask for forgiveness? denied! Ask for pudding? Request denied. A perfect guest does not overstay; a perfect guest stays home. Remember what happened last time this started? No forget that! I mean remember the first time? Rember how frightened you were? Be afraid now! I'm the Queen, grown and awesome. The Queen will have your guts for garters.
4_4_K_Alice		As I'm insect-size, I hope he'll pay no more attention to me than a bug on the wall.	Alice getting away from the Executioner.
4_4_L_Alice		Typical! A once magnificent herbaceous border becomes a withering hellhole.
4_4_M_Alice		Creature's enormous! Diseased villain! Unnatural brute! What chance have I? I'm no giant killer! Like the Grim Reaper come to life! Where's my "monster" slayer?	Second encounter with the Executioner.
4_4_N_Alice		I'm grateful for a moment's respite. Creature's energy's like a steam engine! I was a second away from expiring! Thank heavens... or something... or someone!	Getting away from the Executioner.
4_4_X_CheshireCat		The Guards lack imagination. Don’t play with them, unless you’re ready to deal.	Cheshire Cat quote.

4_5#

More dialogue for when navigating throughout the castle.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
4_5_B_Alice	None	Her domain has not aged well! Malignant growths rarely evolve into something more benign.
4_5_C_Alice	None	I'm worse off! London doesn't nurture or inform me. And I can't eclipse the power of my fears and feelings there. Is Wonderland, too, beyond my control?
4_5_D_Alice	None	Beastly cards! I should have shredded you when I had the chance. Or given you to the rag-and-bone man.
4_5_E_Alice	None	Eluded the brutes! All escapes are good. Even humiliating ones. Even "disgusting" ones.
4_5_F_Alice	None	Now, perhaps I have a chance to learn something and escape from this misery.

4_5_A#

When Alice escapes from the Executioner again.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
4_5_AI_Alice	None	Each escape leads to more fear. My body is is exhausted; my spirit nearly broken. I need an easier way out.

4_6#

Would have been used for the final encounter with the Executioner in the Majestic Maze.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
4_6_A_Queen	None	Seize her you awful creature. Be my wrath. Give her no comfort. No succor, no relief. No place to hide. No peace. Run her down. Slice her into tiny bite-sized titbits.
4_6_C_Alice	None	Oh, my god, there's no way back! And the forward option looks grim.

4_6_1#

When Alice becomes gigantic and stomps the Executioner.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
4_6_1_A_Alice	None	His entire function was to destroy. I must feel good about my victory; but given his origin... Not that good.
4_6_1_B_Queen	None	You are truly monstrous! And cruel. Your feet are like ox-carts; your face a gigantic pie-plate. Size does matter! You are uglier than ever. A mindless, thoughtless brute!

4_7#

Dialogue for Alice and the Queen of Hearts during the Giant Alice stage.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
4_7_A_Queen	None	Harm her, maim her. Grind her bones. Chop her into tiny bits... Give her a stomach ache! Gouge her eyes out! Stick pins in her ears. Stomp on her fingers. Pinch her cheeks! Protect the Queen from this intruder. Sacrifice for the sake of the kingdom. Damn and blast! More damage, more hurt, more pain... more madness. Bloody her; slash her. Off with... her toes! Her head!
4_7_B_Alice	None	That train tracks me like a ravenous wolf. It means to frighten me into submission before it consumes me. I must resist, and visit on it the destruction it has wreaked in Wonderland.
4_7_C_Queen	None	Your interference here is unwanted. You can only do more harm to our corrupted realm. You fear the truth. You fear the Train, pretending not to know it. You live in shadows. You have no friends, you don't know your enemies. You've forgotten your past. You have no empathy. You are selfish! This world is destroyed before your eyes and it is now nearly too late to stop the train.
4_7_D_Queen	None	Open fire! Now!
4_7_E_Queen	None	Keep your distance. Stay away! Be forewarned. You're unwanted here! You bring devastation and destruction. I must resist you... to the death! You're reckless and cold!

4_7_1#

In the same stage, when Giant Alice drinks from the "Drink Me" fountain at the end of the level.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
4_7_1_A_Alice		The ideal beverage! Functional with a tolerable taste.

4_8#

Unused line for the Cheshire Cat, in the final level.

Filename	Audio	Transcript
4_8_H_Cat		Remember: to go back, go forward. That's the rule.

Chess Minigame#

Unused lines for the chess board challenges that occur in the Queen's castle. It seems like the player would originally control rooks instead of pawns and the goal was to keep the two individual rooks apart from each other within a limited number of turns. In addition, two characters named Gallery Bishop and Gallery Queen would have been Alice's opponents during the challenges.

Introduction

Filename	Audio	Transcript
4_4_1_A_GalleryBishop	None	Look at her. She hasn't a prayer.
4_4_1_C_Alice	None	I have more moves than they think. And I might not confine myself precisely to the rules!
4_4_1_D_Rook1	None	I suppose you'll want to play our little game. Everything will be tickety-boo as long as you keep me away from that dreadful rook.
4_4_1_E_Rook2	None	Says you dear. And you don't run out of turns, or we'll have to start all over again. And that would be tiresome.

1st Challenge

Filename	Audio	Transcript	Notes
4_4_O_1_CheshireCat		Familiarity has bred contempt. Proximity may breed violence.	Cheshire Cat hints.
4_4_O_2_CheshireCat		Water and oil separate themselves. These fellows may require assistance.
4_4_O_3_CheshireCat		Keep the rooks apart or there will be hell to pay.
4_4_P_1_Rook1	None	Oh, that tickles.	Dialogue during the game.
4_4_P_2_Rook1	None	Oh, watch where you put your hand.
4_4_P_3_Rook1	None	Steady on!
4_4_P_4_Rook1	None	Watch where you're going!
4_4_P_5_Rook1	None	Clearly your first time.
4_4_P_6_Rook1	None	They've sent us an ingιnue.
4_4_P_7_Rook1	None	Is she really our best hope?
4_4_Q_1_Rook2	None	I can smell you from here.
4_4_Q_2_Rook2	None	Stay away from me!
4_4_Q_3_Rook2	None	Be a love. Don't come any closer.
4_4_Q_4_Rook2	None	That's close enough, don't you think?
4_4_Q_5_Rook2	None	Do you know what you're doing, girl?
4_4_Q_6_Rook2	None	Do we need to tell you again?
4_4_Q_7_Rook2	None	No! Stay away!
4_4_R_Alice		These would-be castle are full of attitude, and not much else!	Post-game dialogue.
4_4_S_GalleryBishop	None	Yes, well, they won't all be as easy as that. Beginner's luck.
4_4_U_Alice		Their inflated views of themselves require them to exaggerate the complexity of their positions, and to belittle those who expose their lie.

2nd Challenge

Filename	Audio	Transcript	Notes
4_5_AA_1_CheshireCat		A case of chalk and cheese.	Cheshire Cat hints.
4_5_AA_2_CheshireCat		Not the happiest of bedfellows, are they?

4_5_AB_3_Rook1	None	Are you sure that's wise?
4_5_AB_4_Rook1	None	Really. No, really?
4_5_AC_Rook2	None	You know what to do, and what not to do, too.
4_5_AD_Alice	None	Do I? I do. Do you?
4_5_AE_GalleryBishop	None	At last! It's been a while since we had a decent game.	Post-game dialogue.
4_5_AG_Alice	None	The pleasure is all mine, your assorted majesties.	Post-game dialogue.

3rd Challenge

Filename	Audio	Transcript	Notes
4_5_G_GalleryBishop	None	Oh, she's back. Give it another stab?	Pre-game dialogue.
4_5_I_Alice	None	Their recollection equals mine. It's so easy to forget when one is not the prime mover of one's life.
4_5_J_Rook1	None	And who invited that troublemaker? It would be better for all of us if he weren't here.
4_5_K_Rook2	None	Yes, don't touch him, will you? It would be the last thing you do. You can touch him if you like. There may be consequences.
4_5_M_1_CheshireCat		And never the twain shall meet.	Cheshire Cat hints.
4_5_M_2_CheshireCat		Opposites attract, but not these two.
4_5_M_3_CheshireCat		The rooks must never touch.

4_5_N_4_Rook1	None	Be careful now!
4_5_N_5_Rook1	None	Righty-ho!
4_5_N_6_Rook1	None	Nearly there, aren't you?
4_5_N_7_Rook1	None	Wrong, wrong, wrong!
4_5_N_8_Rook1	None	Oh, really?
4_5_N_9_Rook1	None	Good move!
4_5_N_10_Rook1	None	You may get out of this after all.
4_5_N_11_Rook1	None	Oh yes!
4_5_N_12_Rook1	None	You can't go that way.
4_5_P_Alice	None	Can't you chaps just get along?
4_5_Q_GalleryBishop	None	Checkmate! I didn't think she had it in her.
4_5_Q_1_Rook2	None	I'm tired of this game.
4_5_Q_2_Rook2	None	Anyone for croquet?
4_5_Q_3_Rook2	None	You don't smell any better this time 'round.
4_5_Q_4_Rook2	None	Remember, we mustn't touch now!
4_5_Q_5_Rook2	None	Oh, you devil!
4_5_R_1_GalleryQueen	None	Huzzah! Well played, dear!	Post-game dialogue?

4_5_R_3_GalleryQueen	None	Splendid effort.
4_5_S_Alice	None	It was really nothing.
4_5_T_Alice	None	More than menace, filth and demolition! That Train spreads utter devastation. But what's its route and range. What's its destination?
4_5_U_GalleryBishop	None	Again! Third time lucky!
4_5_V_1_GalleryQueen	None	You've got to admire her pluck.
4_5_V_2_GalleryQueen	None	I rather like this girl. I think the King would have liked her too.
4_5_W_GalleryBishop	None	I'm absolutely sure he would.
4_5_X_Alice	None	We'll just have to get along without him.
4_5_Y_Rook1	None	You really are a glutton for punishment.
4_5_Z_Rook2	None	And now there's two of those louts. Did someone leave the drawbridge down?
