Dum and Dee have been waiting nigh on 70 years for the girl in the blue dress to come back. It's their life's purpose to quote their lines and fight with coal scuttles and wooden swords in order to help Alice on her way. Awestruck Dum wants to rehearse. Dee, however, is bored and restless, sure that she isn't coming back. Squabbling like an old married couple, the twins are trapped by an even greater fear of the unknown.
