- Drosselmeyer: [from teaser trailer] It's Christmas Eve. A time of mystery, expectations, who knows what might happen?
- Philip: [sees Clara looking at the bridge to the Fourth Realm] Halt!
- [points his sword at her]
- Philip: Who goes there?
- Clara: [startled] It's just me!
- Philip: [misunderstands] State your purpose, Just Me.
- Clara: No, my name's 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: [nods] She's my mother.
- Philip: [kneels] 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.
- Mr. Stahlbaum: [from trailer] This time has been difficult for all of us, but when Christmas comes, we must do our best to enjoy it.
- Drosselmeyer: [to his party guests] Ladies and gentlemen, my favorite part of Christmas. My favorite part of this evening. I present to you: your gifts!
- 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]
- Clara: 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: [delighted] Oh, I love Christmas!
- [to Sugar Plum and Shiver; lost]
- Hawthorne: What's Christmas?
- Clara: Then I ran into this homeless mouse.
- Shiver: [concerned] Mouse?
- Clara: And that's when I met the captain.
- Philip: [enters the throne room] We barely escaped Mother Ginger. And the Mouse King.
- Sugar Plum: [gasps] You met Mother Ginger? Oh my dear 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: [also frustrated] Its title has been restricted.
- Hawthorne: Oh, of course. I meant the Fourth Realm.
- [to Sugar Plum and Shiver]
- Hawthorne: Apologies. I'm just so upset.
- [to Clara]
- Hawthorne: Forget I ever mentioned the Land of Amusements.
- [Sugar Plum and Shiver silence him]
- Sugar Plum: [to Clara] The ballet tells the story of the Four Realms. How your mother discovered our world.
- 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]
