In the film
"Alice in Wonderland" (2010), at the Tea party, when Alice is hidden in the teapot
Bayard comes sniffing under the table right up to the teapot, indicating that he knows
she's in there. The Mad Hatter then says something to him and he goes away. I assume
it's some sort of passphrase letting him know that they all work for the white
queen.
I couldn't figure out what he says though. Can
anyone enlighten me?
It's like you
assumed: he says "Downal wyth Bluddy Behg Hid!".
It means
"Down with the bloody big head" or as the source below quotes it: "Down with the Red
Queen, the slogan of the Resistance." ( href="http://www.slashfilm.com/glossary-of-terms-for-tim-burtons-alice-in-wonderland/"

It obviously means that
the hatter is hinting Bayard that they are on the same side.
The only thing that might confuse people here is when
people assume that Bayard believes in red queen's promises that his family will be
released. But I don't think people would still continue to assume the same way after
that scene where Bayard helps Alice.
So, as a summary -
Bayard knows that he is being used and helps Mad Hatter in this scene leaving Alice.
