Quotes

Rasputin and the Empress

Natasha: You don't like him because he's so outspoken. You don't like his manners. Isn't that it?
Prince Chegodieff: No, that's not it. It, its his, smile. It's like a man-eating shark with a bible under his fin.

The Czar: This is our destiny, my dear.
The Czarina: I know. What have we done to these people of yours, Nicky, that they'd hate us so,
The Czar: Nothing, Alex. Everybody loves you, you know that.
The Czarina: No. But, you love me, Nicky. That's enough for any Empress.

Prince Chegodieff: I don't like him. I never shall.
Natasha: You never tried to.
Prince Chegodieff: Oh, it isn't that. There's something, clammy about him. I can't explain it. I've had the same feeling, brushing against something on a dark night.

The Czarina: Paul!
Prince Chegodieff: Majesty! Your lordship, look at him!
The Czarina: What's the matter with him?
Rasputin: Why, he's frightened, naturally. It's alright my boy, go to your mother. Don't be afraid. He won't hurt me.
Prince Chegodieff: Look at his eyes!
The Czarina: What's the matter with his eyes?
Rasputin: Is it because he wasn't glad to see you? What do you say to your mother, lordship?
The Czarevitch: I love you mamushka.
The Czarina: I love you darling.

The Czarina: I need you.
Prince Chegodieff: Yes, your Majesty.
The Czarina: I've injured you. But, I've injured Russia more.
Prince Chegodieff: Your Majesty, I know how much you love Russia. Everything in your heart, everything that you've done, you thought was for Russia's good.
The Czarina: My heart is broken. What are we to do?

The Czarina: This is another century, Igor. What you have done has put us back 20 years in the eyes of Europe.
Grand Duke Igor: My dear, Empress. Or, would you rather be called Kaiserina
The Czar: Igor!
Prince Chegodieff: The, eh, last Empress Germany gave us, Catherine, was usually called the Great.
