Anastasia Edit

A boy who worked in the palace.

A bus.

A cup of hot chocolate after a long walk in the snow.

A hint!

Acting like the Queen of Sheba instead of the nameless no account you are.

Actually, considering how long you've been dead, you look pretty good.

After all, the name Anastasia means "she will rise again".

Ah, my boy...

Ah, yes. I remember so well.

Ain't that the kick in the head? I guess a curse just ain't what it used to be.

All men are babies.

All right now, sir. Take it easy there. Just remember what I said to you about stress.

All right, walk a little slower.

All right. I'm ready.

All she wants to do is go to Paris. Why give away a third of the reward money?

All the Romanovs are dead. They're dead.

Am I right, my friend? I mean, how could that be Ana...

An apology? I was just saying...

An unspoken attraction.

Anastasia, hurry. Hurry.

Anastasia, sir. Just wishing I could do the job for you, sir.

Anastasia!

Anastasia? Alive?

Anastasia? You have just one problem there, fellah. Anastasia's dead.

Anastasia.

Anastasia.

Anastasia.

Anastasia.

Anastasia...

Anastasia...

Anastasia...

And be grateful, too.

And before that? Before you were eight?

And her only family is in Paris.

And I have known my share of royalty.

And I not only believed you, I actually...

And I spilled a bottle.

And I suppose the money doesn't interest you, either?

And I'd kick her, sir.

And I'm tired of being conned and tricked.

And I've got three... Well, this one is... But I've got three tickets here.

And killing the last of the Romanovs with my own hands will be so delicious.

And me...

And my Anastasia, my beloved grandchild,

And my son Nicholas

And now I'm trying to remember an entire lifetime.

And now you are dressed for a ball.

And others have come from Timbuktu.

And pleasant dreams to you,

And pretend that it's me singing.

And seal the fate of the Czar and his family

And still no girl to pretend to be Anastasia.

And the last of the Romanovs will die!

And then a...

And then you get really crazy with the hips, sir. It's fun.

And to think that could have been you.

And we're back with the crushing.

And what... Hey, why are you circling me?

And you almost destroyed it.

And you will learn to dance for one as well.

And you'll always have me.

And, somewhere, one little girl is.

And, that night, no star burned brighter than that of our sweet Anastasia,

And...

Anya, no!

Anya, please. When you spoke of the door of the wall opening and the boy...

Anya, please. You have to know the truth!

Anya!

Anya!

Anya!

Anya! Anya, wake up.

Anya! Anya!

Anya! Stop!

Anybody here?

Anybody home?

Anything!

Are you sure that's what it is?

Are you trying to tell me you think that I am Anastasia?

Attraction? That skinny little brat? Have you lost your mind?

Bartok, get me a comb.

Bartok!

Bartok? Is that you?

Be grateful.

Because you really are Anastasia.

Bonjour!

Brings me joy I never thought I could feel again.

But I am your confidant.

But I thought we were going to see the Empress herself.

But I wonder if this is what you really want.

But I've had enough.

But if I go right, maybe I could find...

But indulge me.

But is it enough?

But look at me. Where are my manners?

But now they are red.

But she is Anastasia. I'm telling you. If you'll only speak to her, you'll see.

But so did many of the others.

But that means going topside.

But there goes the dining car.

But we won't be fooled next time.

But we would never be together in Paris,

But we've come all the way from Russia...

But what goes around comes around

But you can remember all that?

But you didn't hear it from me.

But you have the beauty of your mother, Alexandra,

But, if you are the princess,

But, sure, every lonely girl would hope she's a princess.

By the unholy powers vested in me, I banish you with a curse.

Bye!

Care for a little swim under the ice?

Checkmate.

Come again, my pet.

Come back! Come back!

Come in, everyone.

Come on, for a minute there, you had your old spark back.

Come on, there's gotta be something in there better than this.

Come on! I need a wrench, an axe, anything.

Come on.

Come on. I guess it's time.

Come, come now. Come to the door.

Compliment?

Comrades, in here!

Confidant? Hah!

Consumed by his hatred for Nicholas and his family,

Correct. And how does Anastasia like her tea?

Dead, dead, dead.

Dear Grandmamma, wish me luck.

Deep breath. Everything's gonna be fine.

Destroyed by your despicable family!

Did you say jump?

Dimitri, do you really think I'm royalty?

Dimitri!

Dimitri?

Dimitri?

Dimitri. You belong in the kitchen.

Dimitri...

Dimitri...

Do svidaniya, Your Highness.

Do svidaniya.

Do you like the Russian Ballet? I believe they're performing in Paris tonight.

Do you mind? No, of course not. You're a wonderful dog.

Do you recognise this?

Don't worry. We've got plenty of track. We'll just coast to a stop.

Easy, master. Wow.

Empress of all Russia.

Everything is in Paris.

Everything's going according to plan. All we need is the girl.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Exactly.

Excuse me, child...

Finally, the last Romanov death.

Finally, you'll most likely find this an impertinent question,

Find some cologne. I want to look my best.

For a dark shadow had descended upon the house of the Romanovs.

For me? Is it a jewellery box?

For the last ten years, I've fed you, I've clothed you, I've...

From that moment on, the spark of unhappiness in our country

From the very beginning, you lied!

Fulfill your dark purpose

Gentlemen, start your teaching.

Get out! Out!

Go away, Dimitri.

Go on.

Go, go, go!

Go.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Grandma, it's me.

Grandmamma, can't you tell me the...

Hand me the chain.

Have you ever thought about the possibility?

Haven't you anything better to do?

He can sleep through anything.

He opened a wall.

Hello, darling.

Hello, Dimitri.

Hello, sunshine.

Hello!

Hello?

Here goes nothin'. Brace yourselves.

Here.

Here. I bought you a dress.

Hers!

Hi, ladies. Listen, I...

His name was Rasputin.

Hm. That's perfect.

Hold on a minute. Hold on.

Hold on!

Horseback riding? Me?

How could they let her escape?

How dare you return to the palace?

How dare you? Stop this car immediately.

How did you escape during the siege of the palace?

How do you expect to get to Paris in one piece?

How do you know what grand duchesses do or don't do?

How enchanting.

How is it you don't have a clue who you were before you came to us,

How much pain will you inflict on an old woman for money? Remove him at once.

How... how beautiful you look.

I accept your gratitude, Your Highness. But I don't want the money.

I almost believed her. And Sophie...

I am calm.

I am falling apart.

I am grateful. Grateful to get away!

I am heartless.

I am palpitating with amazement and shock and surprise.

I can't stay. I don't belong here.

I could feel the dark forces stirring.

I could teach you the latest dance step. It starts with a...

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I do have one clue, however. And that is Paris.

I don't believe we told her that.

I don't care how much you have fashioned this girl to look like her,

I don't have time to play right now, OK? I'm waiting for a sign.

I don't like tea. Just hot water and lemon.

I don't want to hear about anything that I said or remembered. You just leave me alone!

I don't want to trick you.

I feel a sudden onset of clarity, Bartok.

I found out who I am.

I found you.

I get it. I get it. You break it, you bought it.

I got an idea, Vlad. Gimme a hand with this.

I got you a job in the fish factory.

I guess this reliquary's broken.

I hate trains. Remind me never to get on the train again.

I have no feelings whatsoever.

I have so many fond memories of Paris.

I just want to know who I am.

I keep seeing faces. So many faces.

I know it's strange, but I don't remember. I have very few memories of my past.

I know very well who you thought I was. Who exactly are you?

I know what you're after. I've seen it before.

I know you've been hurt, but it's just possible she's been as lost and alone as you.

I know, but...

I make it my business to know.

I must go.

I must say, I'm so sorry. I thought that one surely was real.

I never saw her again.

I propose we get off this train.

I propose we move to the baggage car before the guards come.

I refuse to budge until an answer occurs to you.

I remember it well.

I remember now how much I loved them.

I see a skinny little nobody with no past and no future.

I see an engaging and fiery young woman,

I sold my soul for this.

I tell you what... Wow!

I tell you, we're walking away too soon.

I think you broke my nose.

I thought this was something you had to see through to the end.

I thought we'd take the train.

I used to lie there on that rug and how I missed you when you went away.

I want to wish you good luck, I guess.

I was a member of the lmperial Court.

I was found wandering around when I was eight years old.

I was hoping you could tell me.

I was just part of your con to get her money?

I was the boy in the palace.

I will not rest until I see the end of the Romanov line for ever!

I will see no more girls claiming to be Anastasia.

I won't be badgered by you a moment longer.

I...

I'd give her a... And a...

I'll get inside your mind,

I'll have to kill her myself in person.

I'll see you to the door.

I'm a wreck!

I'm feeling a little dizzy.

I'm just trying to give you a...

I'm listening, Comrade Phlegmenkoff.

I'm not llya. And I won't slow down.

I'm not surprised, because I saw her. Anastasia.

I'm probably about as stubborn as you are.

I'm sorry, I thought you were...

I'm sorry. That's crazy.

I'm very sorry, young man, but the Dowager Empress, she will see no one.

I'm... I'm not very good at it.

I've seen thousands of girls all over the country.

If I don't remember who I am, then who's to say I'm not a princess or a duchess, right?

If I'm not Anastasia, the Empress will know right away.

If only I hadn't lost the gift from the dark forces.

If that thing's come back to life, it must mean Anastasia's alive.

If we live through this, remind me to thank you.

If you want something done right...

Ilya, slow down.

In life and in line.

In the end, it never is her.

Isn't it romantic?

It plays our lullaby.

It was a nightmare.

It was a place I once lived.

It was more a change of heart.

It was nice on the hanger, but it looks even better on you.

It was our secret.

It's a perfect ending.

It's all right now. You're safe now.

It's hot!

It's just that I hate to see you forced to mingle with all those commoners.

It's just that three days ago I didn't have any past at all

It's just that you look an awful lot like...

It's like a memory from a dream.

It's what I hate about this government.

It's...

Jewellery box?

Jump in. Jump!

Jump!

Jump!

Just because some guy claims she's a Romanov?

Just look at her. Please.

Just riddled with envy. Look at him.

Just think, Vlad, no more forging papers, no more stolen goods.

Kept a roof over my head.

Knowing that you are alive, seeing the woman you have become,

Last month, the travelling papers were blue.

Last seen at a party like this one.

Like you.

Little Miss Anya, it's time to take your place in life.

Long live the Romanovs!

Look at me, Dimitri. I am not exactly grand duchess material here.

Look at me.

Look at them dance.

Look here. The drawing you gave me.

Look what ten years has done to us.

Look, Anya, I'm just trying to help, all right?

Look, we've been through a lot together.

Look.

Look. There she is.

Mark my words.

Marvellous!

Master!

Master? You're alive?

May I present Her lmperial Highness the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolayevna?

May I present Her Royal Highness, the Grand Duchess Anastasia?

May I?

Maybe we should stop.

Mayday! Mayday!

Me too.

Men are such babies.

Men who train young women in the royal ways.

Monsieur.

Moscow?

My Anastasia.

My Anastasia's and mine.

My business is complete.

My curse is unfulfilled.

My darling...

My dear, I'm old.

My heart can't take it any more.

My life, my very existence, depends on it.

My name is Anya. I need travel papers.

My name is Dimitri. I used to work at the palace.

My nephew, lzzie, just keeled over one day, mid mango.

My old friend.

My youngest granddaughter.

Never mind. Now, you said something about travel papers?

Next, we memorise the names of the royalty.

Nice. Nice. Very nice.

No meat. No blood, even.

No more. No more.

No, I am going to think of really hard questions.

No!

No!

No!

No.

No.

No.

No. Anya, you don't lead. Let him.

No. It's a perfect beginning.

No. It's not what you think.

No. No, no, no. It started out that way, but everything's different now,

No. No, you don't know.

No. Russia.

Nobody told me I had to prove I was the Grand Duchess.

Nobody's driving this train. We're gonna have to jump.

Not any more.

Not one of them looks as much like the Grand Duchess as you.

Not to worry. I got it all under control.

Now my dark purpose will be fulfilled.

Now, how did you get in here?

Now, if you'll excuse me, I wish to live out the remainder of my lonely life in peace.

Now, let me ask you something... Anya, was it?

Now, Sophie, my bright diamond,

Of course not, Your Grace.

Of course. Of course it is. I found what I was looking for.

Of course. Yes.

Of elegant palaces and grand parties.

Oh, Anastasia!

Oh, boy.

Oh, brother.

Oh, come on. Am I supposed to believe that thing woke up after all these years

Oh, dear. You have to leave now. Yes.

Oh, great. A dog wants me to go to Saint Petersburg.

Oh, I have something else in mind.

Oh, I'll get a life, Bartok.

Oh, it's you. Well, that's OK then.

Oh, my heavens.

Oh, no. Not me. No.

Oh. The mutt gets the window seat.

OK, I can take a hint.

OK, OK, I get the message. Enough already with the glowing and the smoke people.

OK, so it's one more stop on the road to finding out who you are.

Once again I hear my Nicky, your dear father.

Once and for all.

One look at this jewellery box, the Empress will think we have the real Anastasia.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

Oui, monsieur?

Our last kopeck gone for this flea infested theatre

Ow! I tell you what... Ow!

Papers. Papers, please.

Paris?

Perhaps. Depends on who's looking for him.

Please inform Her Majesty, the Dowager Empress,

Please, don't talk any more. It's only gonna upset me.

Please, let her remember me.

Please.

Pooka, where are you?

Pooka?

Pooka?

Pooka? Here boy.

Pooka.

Pooka.

Pooka.

Pooka. Pooka, what?

Power mad and dangerous.

Pretty jewellery box, isn't it?

Princess.

Probably from spinning.

Rasputin sold his soul for the power to destroy them.

Read what it says.

Really? Oh, Grandmamma.

Relax. You're gonna be great.

Remember?

Remember?

Right, and then... kill her? Sir, what happened to the party idea?

Right.

Right. Of course.

Right. So can you two help me or not?

Say your prayers, Anastasia!

See Dimitri. He can help.

See that you remember, you miserable rodent!

Send me a sign!

She begged me not to return to Paris,

She certainly does look like Anastasia.

She certainly has a mind of her own.

She even has the grandmother's hands.

She said it looked like a pig riding a donkey.

She will. You're Anastasia.

She's a decadent pastry filled with whipped cream and laughter.

She's the same age, the same physical type.

She's waiting to see her just outside.

Shopping in Paris. Can you believe it?

Sir, I'm begging you. Please. Please, forget the girl and get a life.

Sir, is this the face of a bat who would lie to you?

Sir, your lips, they're...

Sir?

Sleep well, Your Majesty.

So I had a very special gift made for her to make the separation easier for both of us.

So long, everybody.

So long, mutt.

So long, Vlad.

So many lives were destroyed that night.

So, are you ready to become the Grand Duchess Anastasia?

So, is she a Romanov?

So, you want to go to France to find your family?

Something else. Something special.

Something more enticing.

Something really cruel.

Something to do with a secret.

Something's not right.

Sophie Stanislovskievna Somorkov Smirnoff!

Sophie wants to take us shopping for the ballet.

Sophie, my dear!

Sorry. I thought you were someone else.

Sound asleep in her little bed.

Sound like her or act like her.

Stop fiddling with that. Sit up straight. Remember, you're a grand duchess.

Stop this car!

Stop! Stop, stop, stop.

Stress, it's a killer, sir. And he's a fruit bat.

Sure would like to. In fact, oddly enough, we're going to Paris ourselves.

Sure, blame the bat. We're easy targets.

Surely you can think of some way to arrange a brief interview with the Dowager?

Sweet dreams, Pooka.

Take it easy there. Sir, really, you should watch your blood pressure.

Tell me what?

Tell me, child. What do you see?

Tell that impertinent young man that I have seen enough Grand Duchess Anastasias

Thank goodness it's you. Please, remove him from my sight.

Thank you, I guess.

That dress is really beautiful.

That I could be royalty?

That I have found her granddaughter, the Grand Duchess Anastasia.

That means our Anya has found her family.

That Romanov brat!

That'll work.

That's it, Dimitri. Game over.

That's nice.

That's where we'll kill her. Crush her at the height of her glory.

That's why I was stuck here in limbo.

That's why you got me. Now, where was Uncle Boris from?

The baggage car? There's nothing wrong with our papers, is there, maestro?

The brakes are out!

The carpet was soaked and it forever smelled of peppermint.

The Dowager Empress and I love the Russian Ballet.

The Empress simply won't allow it.

The key to my powers.

The music box.

The one who opened the wall. She's the real thing, Vlad.

The Romanov curse!

The year was 1916

Then you plan on making Paris your home?

Then you'll finally know who you are and have your family back.

There she is, master.

There was a boy.

There was a time, not very long ago,

There you are.

They say you're the man to see, even though I can't tell you who said that.

They would not want us to live in the past, not now that we have found each other.

They're waiting for you.

They've eloped.

This is crazy. Me? Go to Paris?

This is for Dimitri.

This is gonna sound crazy. I don't know my last name.

This is no time to lose your head.

This is the one thing I'm doing right.

This place.

This? Well, I've always had it, ever since before I can remember.

Three, two, one...

To last me a lifetime.

To sing me to sleep when you were in Paris.

Together again for the last time!

Together again.

Turn harder!

Uh, hello...

Uncle Boris was from Odessa.

Uncle Yashin was from Moscow.

Unfortunately, nothing you can give.

Unfortunately, the third one is for her.

Vlad, do you see what I see?

Vlad, ix nay on the Ophie say.

Vlad, Vlad, tickets.

Vladimir Vanya Voinitsky Vasilovich!

Vlady's on his way!

Wait here forjust a moment. I'll go in and announce you properly.

Wait here. I'll check it out.

Wait. Don't go. Please. If you'll just hear me out...

Wake up!

Walls opening.

Was fanned into a flame that would soon destroy our lives for ever.

Was the Czar of lmperial Russia.

Watch out!

We are going to reunite the Grand Duchess Anastasia with her grandmother.

We did it!

We don't have anything to be nervous about.

We have found the heir to the Russian throne.

We have stopped.

We never miss it.

We thought he was a holy man, but he was a fraud,

We were celebrating the 300th anniversary of our family's rule.

We will always have each other.

We'll be off spending the 10 million roubles.

We'll be together in Paris again soon.

We'll find her, Vlad. She's here somewhere, right under our noses.

We'll have three tickets out of here: One for you, one for me and one for Anastasia.

We'll let the Grand Duchess Anastasia have her moment.

We're going to get the 10 million roubles.

We're going to go through with this as if nothing has changed.

We're going to see the lmperial Highness tonight.

We're going way too fast!

Well, Dimitri, I got us a theatre.

Well, for one thing, it's something every normal person wants.

Well, he's probably too busy spending his reward money as fast as he can.

Well, here goes.

Well, I know what's to the left. I'll be "Anya the orphan" for ever.

Well, if you're ever in St Petersburg again, look me up.

Well, it's kind of hard to think of yourself as a duchess

Well, nobody gets near the Dowager Empress without convincing Sophie first.

Well, she answered every question.

Well, she was real. I mean, she was human, of course, but not our real.

Well, thank you.

Well, that's one I haven't heard, I must say.

Well, then. Goodbye, Your Highness.

Well, this is our stop.

Well, this is unexpected.

Well...

What are you doin' in here?

What are you muttering about?

What did they teach you in the orphanage?

What do you want, then?

What else could it be?

What had always been was now gone for ever.

What is it with you and homes?

What is that?

What? What? What?

What? You mean this reliquary?

Whatever you choose,

When we lived in an enchanted world

When you came here, to Paris.

When you're sleeping on a damp floor.

Where are they, boy?

Where did you get this?

Where you can't escape me.

Whether or not I belong to a family.

Who dares intrude on my solitude?

Who found a music box.

Who knows? Sh!

Who was holding auditions to find an Anastasia lookalike.

Who, on occasion, has shown a regal command equal to any royal in the world.

Whoa, that fell right out there, sir.

Whoever gave me this necklace must have loved me.

Why are we going to see her cousin?

Why didn't you tell her about our brilliant plan?

Why the change of mind?

Wish we could help, but the third ticket is for the Grand Duchess Anastasia.

Wonderful!

Would you please leave me alone? Gimme that back.

Wow.

Wow.

Yeah. I hate that in a woman.

Yes, I'm glad you did, too.

Yes, jump!

Yes, you did find me.

Yes.

Yes. I'd like to go to Paris.

Yes. In a manner of speaking.

Yes. Olga made me so mad.

Yes. Thank you, for everything.

Yes. Yes, this will do nicely.

Yes. Yes!

Yet you want no reward?

You and your family will die within the fortnight.

You are a traitor. Get out!

You bought me a tent.

You can play it at night before you go to sleep

You go down this path till you get to the fork in the road. Go left...

You have to talk to her.

You hear that, child? You did it!

You idiot!

You know, he's right.

You look fabulous!

You saved her life, and mine, then you restored her to me.

You see, my dear,

You sent for me, Your Grace?

You taught Dimitri how to waltz, didn't you?

You think you can banish the great Rasputin?

You used me?

You were born into this world of glittering jewels and fine titles.

You were saying?

You were the boy, weren't you? The servant boy who got us out.

You, a beautiful young flower.

You'll get a kick out of this.

You'll never escape me, child. Never!

You'll stop at nothing, will you?

You're a very good actress. The best yet, in fact.

You're doing fine.

You're looking for family, in Paris.

You're on your own, sir. This can only end in tears.

You're right.

You're right. It's very upsetting, sir.

You're that con man from St Petersburg

You've been a thorn in my side since you were brought here.

You've got to tell her.

Young man, where did you get that music box?

Young man, you will bow and address the Princess as "Your Highness".

Your family.

Your Highness. I'm glad you found what you were looking for.

Your Highness...

Your lmperial Highness.

Your Majesty, I intend you no harm.

Your Majesty.

10 million roubles, as promised, with my gratitude.

A curse. Followed by a tragic night on the ice.

A party in Paris? That's right.

A rotting corpse. That face.

After you. Fine. Then we'll uncouple the car.

Alexandra's chin. Oh, look.

and around and around and around... Stop! No!

And every spring... We'd take picnics by the shore on Sunday.

And I just wanted to... Yes?

And I look like princess. OK...

And that's her. We've got a train to catch.

And you... Will walk out of her life for ever.

Anya, I... Yes?

Anya, I... Yes?

Are we gonna walk to Paris? We'll take a boat in Germany.

Are you all right? Fine. Fine.

Are you Dimitri? Cute.

Are you listening? Bye, everybody!

But I appreciate your apology. Apology?

But if Your Highness will just listen... Haven't you been listening? Enough.

But lie? You don't know it's a lie. What if it's true?

But now I think you are both mad. Why?

But... Princesses don't marry kitchen boys.

Could it be? Yes, that's right.

Did you hear something? No.

Dimitri, wait! Did you call me?

Dimitri! No, no. Let go. Let go.

Dimitri! Right in the palm of our hand.

Dimitri... Yes?

Do you think so? Yes.

Either way, it gets you to Paris. Right.

Everything's in red. Red?

Exit visa? No exit visa, no ticket!

Fine. Fine.

Fine. Fine.

Fine. I'll be quiet, if you will. All right, I'll be quiet.

For another thing, you... What?

Get off of me! I'm trying.

Give it back. This is for my family.

Give it to me! All right, all right. Don't get so grabby.

Go, go, go. Dimitri...

Got it, Anya? No.

Grandmamma! Here, take my hand.

Grandmamma... Keep up with me, darling.

He didn't take the money. He didn't?

He's not there. Oh, I know he's not here.

Hello. Did you collect your reward?

Help! Hurry, children.

Hold onto my hand. Don't let go!

Hurry, Anastasia. Rasputin, she's getting away.

I dance like a feather. Thank you. Thank you. Next, please.

I do have a clue to... Ach! I know.

I say he's going. I'm allergic to dogs.

I thought you were going to St Peters... I was.

I'll tear you to pieces. And this is for you.

I'm looking for... Before she catches on,

I'm not afraid of you. I can fix that!

I'm... I... Yes?

If we survive, remind me to thank you. Thank me later.

Is that possible? Anything's possible.
