    Hi Rhonda, is this also about Alice in Wonderland?
    If so - and even if not - this link might help you (unless you already know it):

    "Qu'on leur coupe la tête!"
    "Coupez-leur la tête!"
    Those are the ones I'd probably use (still depending on the context maybe), ouuuaaaahhh...

    I would often watch 'Alice in Wonderland' cartoon when I was a child .
    Of course it was in French & I remember the queen would yell 'Qu'on leur coupe la tête !' LOL ..
    So I think this is the right sentence for 'Off with their heads' =)

    Hi, thanks so much for your response! This would actually be the quote from Alice in Wonderland, but the guy is using it in reference to actual beheadings with a guillotine, and linking it with the book. As a writer, this forum is the best thing I have found! God bless and thanks again!

    Default Where's the thank you button for your posts?

    I'm trying to thank you guys for your posts, but the button is not appearing. I wanted you to know how much I appreciate the help. Is this something I'm not doing correctly?
