Down The Rabbit Hole

“I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

[charmingnicky-miller-deactivate]

Nick Miller and Paige Rogers.

[alice-page]

Never met them.

[charmingnicky-miller-deactivate]

Yeah, I wouldn’t want them either.

[alice-page]

So who are your parents?

[wondergirlmeg]

I wish I had your problem. I can barely catch my breath. (She gazes at the girl for a moment before embracing her gently.) Our door is always open.

[alice-page]

[Alice hugs her back] I know, but I'm fine. If anything you guys should come to my place. It's far too big for one person.

[charmingnicky-miller-deactivate]

Well if you want some, I’ll sell my two little sisters and brother.

Kidding, kidding..Or was I?

[alice-page]

Yeah no thanks.

[charmingnicky-miller-deactivate]

And then all these offspring are running around, I can’t even handle my three little siblings how will I survive a week of this?

[alice-page]

Yeah I don't have any kids so seeing so many in one place is kind of bizarre for me.

[charmingnicky-miller-deactivate]

Yeah, get in line. At least 80% of the adults have said that, 10% said that they couldn’t do it, 5% said that they had no idea why they came and then the other 4% said nothing changed and 1% were actually excited to be here.

[alice-page]

I can believe that.

[wondergirlmeg]

Chaotic. Two kids and a third on the way, seems like I never have any time to my own. (She smiles, but it’s tinged with sadness.)

Alice…you know you’re welcome to stay with us anytime things get rough, don’t you?

[alice-page]

God I have way too much time to myself. Yeah course, things are fine though.

[wondergirlmeg]

It’s good to see you too, Alice. How’ve things been?

[alice-page]

Decent, how about you?

[wondergirlmeg]

Who else could it be? Do you know any other incredibly sarcastic, vaguely Greek, heavily pregnant women with indiscernible accents?

[alice-page]

Maybe a few. It's nice to see you again Meg.

[wondergirlmeg]

Not even me? I’m hurt.

[alice-page]

Meg? I didn't want to say anything in case it wasn't you.

[king-of-halloween-town]

Seriously kid, I have to go.

[alice-page]

I was going to say that you have to wait for the other person to say goodbye before you leave. Goodbye.

[king-of-halloween-town]

Very.

Now bye.

[alice-page]

Wait.

[king-of-halloween-town]

Still talk to him..

[alice-page]

That's nice, I think.

[king-of-halloween-town]

Nope, but I talk to dead people.

[alice-page]

That's it! That's why I gave you a blowjob and you told me about your dead dog that you talk to!

[king-of-halloween-town]

Of course, I have two. One for sexual things and another for voodoo stuff.

The rest is all halloween and shit.

[alice-page]

So you sell voodoo things too? I assume you have a psychic in the bathroom too.

[king-of-halloween-town]

I also sell other things..

You know costumes, toys and I don’t mean for little children. You have no idea how many I’ve gotten in the store at 6 in the morning.

[alice-page]

Wow. What is there a back room for all those things?

[king-of-halloween-town]

I’ve got a store to run.

[alice-page]

Why would people be going to a Halloween store if it's not Halloween?
