Clara: Nephew? I didn't know you had a nephew. How old is he?

Fritz: Will we meet him?

Clara: Is he really your nephew or does he just call you uncle like we do?

Uncle Drosselmeier: No, No! The spell will be broken if he slays the mouse king.

Clara: And wins the hand of a fair young maiden.

Uncle Drosselmeier: Precisely.

Clara: [yawns and looks at her kitten] Oh Pavlova, why are all fairy stories the same?
