(VLADIMIR)
You were born in a palace by the sea.
[ANASTASIA]
A palace by the sea? Could it be?
(VLADIMIR)
Yes, that's right. You rode horseback when you were only three.
[ANASTASIA]
Horseback riding? Me?
(VLADIMIR)
And the horse...
[DIMITRI]
He was white!
(VLADIMIR)
You made faces and terrorized the cook!
[DIMITRI]
Threw him in the brook!
[ANASTASIA]
Was I wild?
[DIMITRI]
Broke the book!
(VLADIMIR)
But you'd behave when your father gave that look!
[DIMITRI]
Imagine how it was!
(VLADIMIR)
Your long-forgotten past!
{VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI}
We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is gonig fast!
[ANASTASIA]
All right...I'm ready!
(VLADIMIR)
Now, shoulders back and stand up tall
[DIMITRI]
And do not walk, but try to float.
[ANASTASIA]
I feel a little foolish. Am I floating?
(VLADIMIR)
Like a little boat!
[DIMITRI]
You give a bow.
[ANASTASIA]
What happens now?
(VLADIMIR)
Your hand receives a kiss
{VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI}
Most of all remember this
(VLADIMIR)
If I can learn to do it, you can learn to do it.
[DIMITRI]
Something in you knows it
{VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI}
There's nothing to it!
(VLADIMIR)
Follow in my footsteps, shoe by shoe!
{VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI}
You can learn to do it too!
(VLADIMIR)
Now, elbows in and sit up straight
[DIMITRI]
And never slurp the stroganoff.
[ANASTASIA]
I never cared for stroganoff!
(VLADIMIR)
She said that like a Romanov!
[DIMITRI]
The Samovar.
(VLADIMIR)
The caviar.
[ANASTASIA]
Dessert and then goodnight?
{VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI}
Not until you get this right!-
