Description
On-screen: Marie holds her new baby
Description: A variant on Marie's theme (which we will call Marie 2) combines Marie's main theme (now stated in a major key to reflect her newfound joy) with an idea from the Nursery theme; it oscillates between major and minor when she is told that her mother can't see the baby and she has to leave it in the nursery

Analysis: The D major tonic is prolonged with colorful neighbor chords (viio7, bVI65, and iv/o7); the cue ends with a long LE-SOL sigh gesture
