- The Dowager Empress Marie: Young man, where did you get that music box? You were the boy, weren't you? The servant boy who got us out? You saved her life and mine, and you restored her to me. Yet you want no reward.
- Dimitri: Not anymore.
- The Dowager Empress Marie: Why the change of mind?
- Dimitri: It was more a change of heart.
- Anastasia: [after waking up, flailing her arm and smacking Dimitri in the nose] Oh, sorry. I thought you were someone el - oh, it's you. Well, that's okay, then.
- Bartok: Just wishing I could do the job for you, sir. I'd give her a ha! And a hi-ya! And then a ooh-wah! And I'd kick her, sir.
- Dimitri: I was the boy in the palace - the one who opened the wall. She's the real thing, Vlad.
- Vladimir: Then that means that our Anya has found her family. We have found the heir to the Russian throne. And you...
- Dimitri: Will walk out of her life forever.
- Vladimir: But...
- Dimitri: Princesses don't marry kitchen boys.
- Bartok: You know, you really should watch your blood pressure. My nephew Izzy just keeled over mid-mango. Stress, it's a killer, sir. And he was a fruit bat. No meat. No blood even.
- [Anya and Dimitri have been arguing on the train - Vlad enters the compartment]
- Anastasia: Oh, thank goodness it's you!
- [points to Dimitri]
- Anastasia: Will you please remove him from my sight?
- Vladimir: [to Dimitri] What have you done to her?
- Dimitri: Me? It's *her*!
- Anastasia: HA!
- [leaves]
- Vladimir: Oh! An unspoken attraction!
- Dimitri: *Attraction*? To that skinny little brat? Have you lost your mind?
- Vladimir: I was only asking a simple question...
- Dimitri: Attraction... ridiculous!
- [Dimitri and Anya are waltzing]
- Dimitri: That, uh, that dress looks really good on you.
- Anastasia: Do you think so?
- Dimitri: Yeah. I mean, it looked nice on the hanger but it's even better on you. Y-you, you should wear it!
- Anastasia: I *am* wearing it!
- Dimitri: Oh, oh yes, I was just, um, trying to give you a... a...
- Anastasia: Complement?
- Dimitri: Yeah.
- Vladimir: [singing] It's one, two, three/ And suddenly/ I see it at a glance/ She's radiant/ And confidant/ And born to take this chance/ I taught her well/ I planned it all/ I just forgot/ Romance/ Vlad, how could you do this?/ How will we get through this?/ I never should have let them/ Dance!
- Anastasia: I feel a little... dizzy.
- Dimitri: Kind of... light-headed?
- Anastasia: Yeah...
- Dimitri: Me too. Probably from all the spinning.
- [they stop dancing]
- Dimitri: Maybe we should stop.
- Anastasia: [quietly] We *have* stopped.
- Dimitri: Anya, I...
- Anastasia: Yes?
- [they lean in...]
- Dowager Empress Marie: You're a very good actress, best yet in fact. But I've had enough.
- [starts to walk away]
- Anastasia: Peppermint?
- Dowager Empress Marie: Oil for my hands.
- Anastasia: Yes... I spilled a bottle. The carpet was soaked and it forever smelled of peppermint - like you. I used to lie on that rug and oh how I missed you while you were away...
- Dowager Empress Marie: [after showing Anastasia the music box; singing] On the wind, 'cross the sea, / Hear this song and remember...
- Dowager Empress Marie, Young Anastasia: [singing together] Soon you'll be home with me / Once upon a December.
- Rasputin: Bartok, get me a comb, find some cologne. I want to look my best!
- Bartok: That might take some work, sir.
- Rasputin: We're going to a party!
- Bartok: A party? Ooh, I could teach you the latest dance step. It starts with, like, a "whoa." And then you get really crazy with the hips, sir. It's fun!
- Rasputin: We'll let the Grand Duchess Anastasia have her moment.
- Bartok: [dancing] Aah, who cares?
- Rasputin: And then we'll kill her!
- Bartok: Right. Kill... kill her? Sir, what happened to the party idea?
- Rasputin: That's where I will kill her.
- [laughs and tears up newspaper]
- Rasputin: Crush her at the height of her glory.
- Bartok: And we're back to the crushing. Sir, I'm begging you, please, please forget the girl and get a life!
- Rasputin: Oh, I'll get a life, Bartok. Hers!
- Dowager Empress Marie: [looking through her memory box] Oh look! The drawing you gave me! Remember?
- Anastasia: Oh yeah... Olga made me so mad; she said it looked like a pig riding a donkey!
- [laughs]
- Anastasia: She was right.
- Dowager Empress Marie: [nostalgically] Ah, your laughter. Once again, I hear my Nicky, your dear father.
- [retrieves a tiara from her dresser]
- Dowager Empress Marie: But you have the beauty of your mother, Alexandra - Empress of all Russia.
- [ceremoniously places tiara on Anastasia's head]
- Anastasia: [after overhearing Dimitri's conversation with Marie and learning his plans] It was all a lie, wasn't it?
- Dimitri: No, no...
- Anastasia: You used me? I was just part of your con to get her money?
- Dimitri: No. No, no, no. Look, it may have started out that way, but everything's different now, because you really are Anastasia. You are!
- Anastasia: No, stop it! From the very beginning, you lied! And I not only believed you, I actually...
- [grunts in disbelief]
- Dimitri: Anya, please! When you spoke of the hidden door in the wall opening, and the little boy, listen to me, that was...
- Anastasia: No! I don't want to hear about anything that I said I remembered; you just leave me alone!
- [Dimitri grabs Anya's arm, she slaps him and storms away]
- Dimitri: [yelling in protest] Anya, please, you have to know the truth!
- Dowager Empress Marie: [as Dimitri recklessly drives the Dowager Empress Marie's car] Ilya, slow down.
- Dimitri: I'm *not* Ilya, and I *won't* slow down, NOT until you listen.
- Dowager Empress Marie: You... how dare you! Stop this car immediately! STOP THIS CAR!
- Anastasia: [singing] Yes, let this be a sign, / Let this road be mine, / Let it lead me to my past, / And bring me home - at last!
- Dimitri: Look I think we got off on the wrong foot.
- Anastasia: Well, I think we did, too. But I appreciate your apology.
- Dimitri: Who said anything about an apology? I was just saying that...
- Anastasia: Please don't talk anymore, it's only going to upset me.
- Dimitri: Fine, I'll be quiet if you be quiet.
- Anastasia: Alright, I'll be quiet.
- Dimitri: Fine.
- Anastasia: Fine.
- Dimitri: Fine.
- Anastasia: Fine... So you think you're gonna miss it?
- Dimitri: Miss what? Your talking?
- Anastasia: No! Russia.
- Dimitri: Nope.
- Anastasia: But it was your home.
- Dimitri: It was a place I once lived. End of story.
- Anastasia: Then you must plan on making Paris your true home.
- Dimitri: What is it with you and homes?
- Anastasia: Well for one thing it's something every normal person wants. And for another thing... it's thing where ya just...
- Dimitri: What?
- Anastasia: Forget it!
- [grunts in frustration]
- Rasputin: [singing] In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning / And the nightmare I had was as dark as can be / It scared me out of my wits / A corpse falling to bits / Then I opened my eyes and the nightmare was me!
- [Dimitri is going to announce Anya to the Dowager; Anya stops him]
- Anastasia: Dimitri?
- Dimitri: Yes?
- Anastasia: [a bit nervous] Look, we've been through a lot together...
- Dimitri: [getting excited] Uh-huh?
- Anastasia: [very nervously] And... I just wanted to...
- Dimitri: [very excitedly] Yes?
- Anastasia: Well...
- [loses her nerve]
- Anastasia: thank you, I guess. Yes. Thank you for everything.
- [both turn away from each other. Dimitri turns back]
- Dimitri: Anya, I...
- Anastasia: [quickly turns to face him, excited] Yes?
- Dimitri: [nervous] I... I'm, um...
- Anastasia: [very excited] Ye-es?
- Dimitri: [also loses his nerve] I want to wish you good luck, I guess.
- Anastasia: [disappointed] Oh.
- Anastasia: [voiceover, during a shot of Anya's farewell letter] Dear Grandmama, wish me luck. We'll be together in Paris again soon.
- Dimitri: [after Anastasia hands him a stick of dynamite and it's about to explode] What did they teach you in those orphanages?
- Dimitri: [singing] Paris holds the key to her past. / Yes, Princess, I've found / you at last. / No more pretend, / You'll be gone, / That's the end...
- Anastasia: [Looking at a photo of her family] I remember now how much I loved them.
- Dowager Empress Marie: They would not want us to live in the past, not now that we have found each other.
- Dimitri: I don't want your money.
- Dowager Empress Marie: What do you want then?
- Dimitri: Unfortunately, nothing you can give.
- Anastasia: [imitating Comrade Phlegmenkoff after leaving the orphanage] "Be grateful, Anya." I *am* grateful - grateful to get away!
- Dimitri: [after making a deal with Anya] May I present... Her Royal Highness, the Grand Duchess Anastasia.
- Anastasia: Pooka, we are going to Paris!
- Dimitri: Uh, the dog stays.
- Anastasia: I'm talking about the dog goes.
- Dimitri: No, the dog is not going.
- Anastasia: I say he's going.
- Dimitri: I'm allergic to dogs.
- Bartok: [after hearing Dimitri and Anya argue] Anastasia? Yeah, just one problem there, fella. Anastasia's dead. All the Romanovs are dead. They're dead. Dead, dead, dead. Am I right, my friend?
- [to the "relic"]
- Bartok: I mean, how could that be Ana...!
- [screaming, clinging to the "relic", whimpers and hanging upside down]
- Bartok: Oh, come on. Am I supposed to believe that thing woke up after all these years, just because some guy claims she's a Romanov? OK, OK, I get the message! Enough already with the glowing and the smoke people!
- [sighs]
- Bartok: If that thing's come back to life, that must mean... Anastasia's alive.
- Dimitri: Just leave the dog.
- Anastasia: I am not leaving the dog!
- Bartok: And that's her!
- Anastasia: One ticket to Paris, please.
- Ticket Agent: Exit visa.
- Anastasia: Exit visa?
- Ticket Agent: No exit visa, NO TICKET!
- The Dowager Empress Marie: [Anastasia is trying to get onto the train] Hold on to my hand!
- Young Anastasia: [Sobbing] Don't let go!
- The Dowager Empress Marie: [Anastasia's hand slips, she screams] Anastasia!
- [Anastasia hits the ground and loses consciousness]
- The Dowager Empress Marie: Anastasia!
- [voiceover; first lines]
- Dowager Empress Marie: There was a time, not very long ago, where we lived in an enchanted world of elegant palaces and grand parties. The year was 1916, and my son, Nicholas, was the Czar of Imperial Russia.
- Dimitri: [after the Russian ballet] Please inform Her Majesty, the Dowager Empress, that I have found her granddaughter, the Grand Duchess Anastasia. She's waiting to see her just outside the door.
- Sophie: I'm very sorry, young man, but the Dowager Empress, she will see no one.
- Dowager Empress Marie: You may tell that impertinent young man that I have seen enough Grand Duchess Anastasias to last me a lifetime.
- Sophie: You'd better go.
- Dimitri: Please, let me just...
- Dowager Empress Marie: [interrupting] Now if you'll excuse me, I wish to live out the remainder of my lonely life in peace.
