> [@ekedolphin](#): > > **“NOTHING WHATEVER?!” > “NOTHING WHATEVER!” > “THAT’S VERY IMPORTANT!** Jury, write that down.” That’s from Lewis Carroll’s **Alice in Wonderland**. There have been several versions, but the 1951 Disney version is actually more faithful than most in its use of the dialogue than the others (even if they didn’t use anything like Tenniel’s drawings, which is what most people remember), so I’ll go with that one. ---

You had me second guessing. Your way almost sounded better. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/uLso0ZBqOi4/hqdefault.jpg "Sometimes the magic works...") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLso0ZBqOi4) I love the Chief’s response when Dustin Hoffman’s character tells him he’s still in this world. ---
