(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!-
