HOME IS CALLING
Springtime returns to the Land of Sweets as snow melts
and flowers fill the land.
Everyone and everything is restored, Princess Pirlipat, Drosselmeir, Coffee, and the Castle. Even Franz is now himself.
But Clara lies where she fell. Franz rushes to Clara and
takes her in his arms.
FRANZ
HERE IS A FLOWER FOR YOU!
SEE HOW OUR KINGDOM IS BLOOMING. WITH ROSES AND LILIES - A LAUREL FOR TAKE ALL THE FLOWERS AWAY!
SEE HOW YOUR BLOSSOM IS FADING. THEY MEAN NOTHING WHEN YOUR HEART IS I AM SO IN LOVE.
YOU ARE SPRINGTIME.
YOU ARE SUNSHINE.
YOU, WITHOUT YOU, I AM LOST.
CLARA
HOME IS CALLING, NIGHT IS FALLING, AND THE BELLS FOR ME ARE TOLLING WHAT CAN HARM US?
IF YOU PROMISE?
YOU'LL BE WAITING OUT THERE FOR ME?
FRANZ
YOUR CROWNING. BREAKING.
SHE'S DYING! CLARA, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! UNCLE! HELP HER! MAKE YOUR MAGIC AND SAVE HER.
DROSSELMEIR
IT'S SO TRAGIC, THERE'S NO MAGIC,
ALL MY SPELLS WILL FAIL HER.
SHE MUST LEAVE HERE, PLEASE RELEASE HER. TAKE HER HOME, BACK HOME
AND HURRY, HURRY, HURRY!
