Fritz play quietly are you the waking

Marie gosh what is she Rip Van Winkle

where's Nutcracker you do better to

worry about yourselves than the

Nutcracker young lady why on Earth did

you stay up so late last night

I had to Mother Nutcracker was in danger

the only one who was in danger was you

how could you have been so careless is

to bump your head we've all been very

worried about you not me Murray's head

is so hard the floor would crack before

she would that would be enough Fritz but

mother I wasn't being careless I slipped

when I threw my shoe at the mouse King

yes yes I'm sure you did dear now you

just relax and don't worry about your

Nutcracker he's safe and sound in the

Parlor

only half right he's safe and sound but

it happens he was in my pocket Godfather

jostlemeyer you're in a world all your

own Comforts we leave Godfather jostle

now to visit with Marie okay Mom

sometimes I think you're braver than

your brother you weren't one bit afraid

last night were you well I sure was

afraid of that seven-headed Mouse King

but I had to protect Nutcracker

then it did happen it is true true not

true what's the difference who cares

what happens to this ugly old Nutcracker

I care and he's not ugly yeah Jesse is

he'd be the first to admit it and if

you're honest you'll admit it too well

so what if he is ugly I care for him all

the same oh but that's a wonderful thing

to say

would you like to hear the story of how

the Nutcracker got to be well The

Nutcracker oh yes yes Godfather

drosselmeyer please tell me the story

let's start at the castle castles are

always fun

once upon a time there was a wonderful

Castle in a wonderful Kingdom a king

queen and their beautiful baby daughter

princess pearly pad all lived in the

castle everything was perfect in this

Castle except for one small problem

foreign

just like yours Godfather indeed it was

he was the king's Royal clock maker and

fortunately for him he was also an

inventor in no time he invented the most

brilliant mouse traps

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

and soon there was not a mouse to be

seen in the castle

well as you can imagine the king and

queen were very pleased until one night

what a pretty picture the royal family

is spending quality time together how

precious it seems one Mouse has managed

to escape drosselmeyer's traps so far

don't lose any sleep worrying about me

but I didn't get to be mad at my queen

of the mic for nothing then consider

yourself lucky and be on your way

consider myself lucky let me tell you

something your Royal Highness I used to

have a family just like the two of you

do that is until your traps took

everyone from me oh my oh my I'll give

you something to oh my about sister by

all the tales of all the mice in the

world I swear a vow of Revenge I will

place a curse on your little princess

curly cat that will oh no you won't

[Music]

I will

you are my most trusted advisors the

bravest and wisest men in all the land

surely one of you can tell me how to

guard against Madame Mouse ring placing

a curse on princess perlapat there is

only one solution Your Majesty we must

have six nurses in the room with a

princess at all times each nurse must

have a cat on her lap to further guard

against madame monstrick

well the court astrologer had a pretty

good idea there and it worked for a

while

[Music]

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

all the tales of all the mice I make a

curse that's far from nice let this babe

of royalty turn into a broken

[Laughter]

texture

[Laughter]

[Music]

ah

yeah

[Music]

[Applause]

I'll tell you something Sydney I can't

take much more of this

you're quite right my queen this is your

fault you two had better have a solution

for how to take this curse off our

daughter well your eyes I've got good

news and I've got that

the good news is the curse can be taken

off your daughter by having a young man

who has never shaved and never worn

boots crack a cracker took nut in front

of her wonderful but what's the bad news

the bad news is there are only maybe two

or three cracker took nuts in the whole

world

then I guess you'd better start looking

for them

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

for the next 15 years Clark Wicked

russellmeyer and the corner structure

sail the world looking for a single

cracker took nut from which to lift the

curse from Princess bully pad

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

how good to see you after all these

years where have you been

on a wasted Voyage to the four corners

of the globe seeking a crack it took nut

for 15 miserable years a cracker took

nut wow what a coincidence I just happen

to have a cracker took nut right here

[Applause]

gift years ago if you need it so badly

Russell Maya Russell Maya get hold of

yourself man

find a man who's never shaved or worn

boots who can crack this nut with his

teeth this must be your lucky day my

son's never worn boots and he also has

himself quite a beard the kid's teeth

are so strong he could be a beaver

[Music]

foreign

[Applause]

when someone comes to the castle to see

what my parents have turned me into no

darling you know it was Madame most rink

who placed the curse that has made you

look look well

different

yes yes that's it a different fine well

then let's discuss the feat fee

you mean this young man wants to charge

me for making my daughter look normal

here you're exactly in a position to

argue the point your highness

true well what is the fee then if he can

turn princess pearly pad into a

beautiful princess then he should be

able to marry her and become a prince

it's a deal let's get on with it

the cracker took nut please

laughs

your protection me Mary and ugly wooden

Nutcracker you've got to be joking

way for The Nutcracker to not only

Madame Mouse ring and win the love of a

Christmas candy he chewed Nutcracker

into sawdust

imagination but I didn't imagine it and

I didn't eat all my Candy the mouse King

ate it all yeah yeah

let him laugh Marie they don't know how

lucky you are you alone can save

Nutcracker from the mouse King it will

not be easy but if you succeed you will

become a princess yourself I don't care

Nutcracker

I've already given the mouse King my

Christmas candy and my dresses and books

and more things until I have nothing

left and then he'll chew you to pieces

I'd do anything to save you but it's

very very hard

[Music]

you've done enough already Marie

you are alive

alive and sad that you've given the most

King your things to save me oh but I do

anything to help you Nutcracker then get

me a sword so I can slay the most King I

broke the one I had in the last battle

[Music]

of course I remember now that's why you

couldn't come to life before you had

nothing to defend yourself with

and that's the whole story Fritz that's

why I need one of your toy soldiers

swords

so The Nutcracker will kill the

seven-headed mouse King right

catching

on the other hand the day may come when
