Eliza: Where are we Jack?
Jackalice: A town called Alice
Eliza: What's that?
Jackalice: It's a place in my heart, deep down. A very lonely town.
Eliza: Why here?
Jackalice: I wanted to show you around
Eliza: It looks weird, like, glowing!
Jackalice: That's because you're here
Eliza: What's with all the notes pinned up on every house?
Jackalice: All the times we shared with each other. All the poems we wrote. All the places we went....
Eliza: What's this building here?
Jackalice: I call it The Promise
Eliza: Why is it all in red?
Jackalice: Step inside, I'll show you, mind your head!
Eliza: Whoa! It's a cliff edge!
Jackalice: A promise we made on a cliff, we cut our thumbs, placed them together, our blood flowing into one, one heart.
Eliza: What was the promise Jack?
Jackalice: I said 'I love you forever'
Eliza: And I said 'I love you always'
Jackalice: If you look up, you can see it clearly written in the stars above us
Eliza: You kept the town like this all these years?
Jackalice: Yes, waiting for you
Eliza: And what now?
Jackalice: Back to reality I guess. Knee deep in it. But once in a while, in a poem, or a festival, we can come back to this town called Alice, we can share...
Eliza: Each other?
Jackalice: Fancy a snog?
Eliza: Ha, ha! Where can we go from this Town called Alice Jack?
Jackalice: Maybe a field, with some cider?! A bar, in the city, where you can get me drunk again, and I can drown in those eyes, and hold on, with my life, to your hands again?
Eliza: Or back to reality?
Jackalice: Nah, stay here with me. Look! Can't you see.... here comes the good ship Opuss, our alternate reality! She has a mighty fine crew, a tall mast, and our words will be the wind in her sails! Come sail with me?
