Dialogue

[edit]
Philip: [sees Clara looking at the bridge to the Fourth Realm] Halt! [points his sword at her] Who goes there?
Clara: [startled] It's just me!
Philip: [misunderstands] State your purpose, Just Me.
Clara: No, my name is Clara. And I must cross this bridge.
Philip: Impossible. Nobody crosses the bridge to the Fourth Realm without a direct order from the regents.
Clara: [confused] Fourth Realm? Where am I?
Philip: [puts away his sword] You're in the Christmas Tree Forest. But THAT is the Fourth Realm, which is currently at war with the other three realms.
Clara: [alarmed] WAR?
Philip: That is correct, Miss Clara Just Me.
Clara: [frustrated] No, my name isn't 'Clara Just Me'. It's Stahlbaum. Clara Stahlbaum.
Philip: [surprised] Stahlbaum? Are you a relation to Marie Stahlbaum?
Clara: She's my mother.
Philip: Forgive me, Your Majesty! I didn't recognize you, Princess Clara.
Clara: [surprised and amused] Princess?
Philip: [gets back up] Captain Philip Hoffman. At your service, Your Majesty.

Shiver: [shows Clara Marie's old throne room] This is your mother's throne, Your Grace.
Sugar Plum: Have you come to save us, Clara?
Clara: No. [the regents look disappointed] I'm sorry. I didn't even know this place existed before today. You see, I was looking for a Christmas present from my godfather.
Hawthorne: Oh, I love Christmas! [to Sugar Plum and Shiver; lost] What's Christmas?
Clara: Then I ran into this homeless mouse.
Shiver: Mouse?
Clara: And that's when I met the captain.
Philip: We barely escaped Mother Ginger. And the Mouse King.
Sugar Plum: You met Mother Ginger? Oh my sweet Clara, you're lucky to be alive!
Hawthorne: You must promise never to go back to the Land of Amusements, Clara.
Sugar Plum: [frustrated] Hawthorne!
Shiver: Its title has been restricted.
Hawthorne: Oh, of course. I meant the Fourth Realm. [to Sugar Plum and Shiver] Apologies. I'm just so upset. Forget I ever mentioned the Land of Amusements. [Sugar Plum and Shiver silence him]

Sugar Plum: [to Clara, after she's dressed for the ballet about the four realms] You look like the daughter of a queen. [the opening of "March of the Toys" from the ballet's first act plays as they enter the theater]
Shiver: [addressing the residents of the three realms] Ladies and gentlemen, on this momentous day, in the history of the Four Realms...
Hawthorne: We are proud and privileged to present before you, Clara Stahlbaum, daughter of Queen Marie! [all applaud]

Shiver: [to Clara, as she's attempting to escape the tower] My dear, that doesn't look very secure.
Hawthorne: [worried] You can't! [to Shiver] It's not gonna work.
Clara: It's just the laws of physics.
Philip: Do those laws ALWAYS work?
Clara: Always. [under her breath] As far as I know.

  • [to Clara] Mother Ginger wants to rule the Realms!
  • Boys in uniforms with weapons! Sends a quiver right through me.
