[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]
wrote 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!
[vladimir]
if i can learn to do it
[dimitri]
if he can learn to do it
[vladimir]
you can learn to do it!
[dimitri]
you can learn to do it
[vladimir]
pull yourself together
[vladimir and dimitri]
and you'll pull through it!
[vladimir]
tell yourself it's easy
[vladimir and dimitri]
and it's true!
you can learn to do it too!
[vladimir]
next, you must memorize the names of the royalty.
now here we have kropotkin
[dimitri]
shot potemkin
[vladimir]
in the botkin.
[anastasia]
oh!
[vladimir]
and dear old uncle vanya loved his vodka
[dimitri
got it anya?
[anastasia]
no!
[vladimir]
the baron pushkin
[anastasia
he was...?
[dimitri]
short!
[vladimir]
count anatoly
[anastasia]
had a... ?
[dimitri]
wart!
[vladimir]
count sergei
[dimitri]
wore a feathered hat.
[vladimir]
i hear he's gotten very fat.
[anastasia]
and i recall his yellow cat!
[vladimir]
i don't believe we told her that.
[anastasia]
if you can learn to do it,
i can learn to do it!
[vladimir]
don't know how you knew it
[anastasia]
i simply knew it!
suddenly i feel like someone new...
[vladimir and dimitri]
anya, you're a dream come true!
If i can learn to do it,
[anastasia]
if i can learn to do it
[vladimir and dimitri]
you can learn to do it!
[anastasia]
you can learn to do it.
[vladimir and dimitri]
pull yourself together
[all three]
and you'll pull through it!
[vladimir]
tell yourself it's easy,
[all three]
and it's true --
[vladimir and dimitri]
you can learn to do it,
[anastasia]
nothing to it!
[all three]
you can learn to do it too!
