Vladimir: She certainly has a mind of her own.
Dimitri: Yeah. I hate that in a woman.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dowager Empress Marie: 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.
Dowager Empress Marie: Why the change of mind?
Dimitri: It was more a change of heart. I must go.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anastasia: Men are such babies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anastasia: Oh no, not me... nope! No... nobody ever told me I had to *prove* I was the grand duchess!
Dimitri: Look, I...
Anastasia: Show up, yes. Look nice, fine. But lie?
Dimitri: You don't know if it's a lie. What if it's true?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anastasia: Do you really think I'm royalty?
Dimitri: You know I do!
Anastasia: Then stop bossing me around!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anastasia: [singing] Years of dreams just can't be wrong!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bartok: Just wishing I could do the job for you, sir. I'd give her a HA! And a HI-YA! And then a OUU-WA! And I'd kick her, sir.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Young Anastasia: [the music box begins to play] It plays our lullaby!
Dowager Empress Marie: You can play it at night before you go to sleep, and pretend it's me singing!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Dimitri is quizzing Anya]
Dimitri: Now, where was Uncle Boris from?
Anastasia: Moscow?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dowager Empress Marie: [Anastasia is trying to get onto the train] Hold on to my hand!
Young Anastasia: [Sobbing] Don't let go!
Dowager Empress Marie: [Anastasia's hand slips, she screams] Anastasia!
[Anastasia hits the ground and loses consciousness]
Dowager Empress Marie: ANASTASIA!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dowager Empress Marie: You'll stop at nothing, will you?
Dimitri: I'm probably about as stubborn as you are.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sophie: It's a perfect ending.
Dowager Empress Marie: No. It's a perfect beginning.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rasputin: See that you remember, you incompetent rodent!
[Throws Bartok across the room]
Bartok: Oh sure, blame the bat. What the heck? We're easy targets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anastasia: What? Hey - why are you circling me? What were you, a vulture in another life?
Dimitri: I'm sorry Enya.
Anastasia: It's Anya.
Dimitri: Anya.
Anastasia: [enunciating] An-ya.
Dimitri: It's just that - you look an awful lot like... never mind.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rasputin: Say your prayers, Anastasia! No one can save you!
Dimitri: Wanna bet?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimitri: [after nearly dying from a train wreck] I hate trains! Remind me *never* get on the train again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rasputin: You dare to banish the great Rasputin? By the dark powers vested in me, I banish *you*, with a curse. Mark my words, you and your family will be dead within a fortnight. I will not rest until I see the end of the Romanov line forever!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rasputin: Something is happening, Bartok. I could feel the dark forces stirring.
Bartok: I'm not surprised, sir. It's Anastasia. I saw her.
Rasputin: Anastasia, alive?
[His mouth falls out]
Bartok: Ah, sir? Your lips, they're...
Rasputin: That Romanov brat!
Bartok: Ain't that a kick in the head. I guess a curse isn't what it used to be.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vladimir: That's what I hate about this government. Everything's in red.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bartok: Master! You're alive?
Rasputin: In a matter of speaking!
[Rasputin's eyeball pops out, Bartok catches it]
Bartok: Whoa, that fell right out there, sir!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Dimitri and Anya are learning how to waltz]
Vladimir: [singing] It's one-two-three / and suddenly / I see it at a glance / She's radiant / And confident / 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...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimitri: What are you looking for?
Anastasia: The Russian Circus. I think it's still in here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anastasia: I'm not afraid of you.
Rasputin: I can fix that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bartok: And we're back to the crushing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dowager Empress Marie: [about Dimitri to Anastasia] He didn't take the money.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anastasia: [singing] I never cared for Stroganoff!
Vladimir: [singing] She said that like a Romanov!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anastasia: [singing] And I recall his yellow cat!
Vladimir: [singing to Dimitri] I don't believe we told her that...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bartok: You're on your own, sir! This can only end in tears!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vladimir: [after tempting Anya to be Anastasia] I'm telling you we're walking away too soon!
Dimitri: I'm telling you I've got it all under control... ok walk a little slower...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimitri: I don't want your money.
Dowager Empress Marie: What do you want then?
Dimitri: Unfortunately, nothing you can give.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rasputin: I am calm. I am heartless. I have no fear what so ever.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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... WAAGHH!
[clinging to the "relic"]
Bartok: YEEUUGHH!
Bartok: [hanging upside down] 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?
Bartok: OK, OK, I get the message! Enough already with the glowing and the smoke people!
Bartok: [moves away] 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!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anastasia Impostor: Grandma, it's me, Anastasia.
[sways hips]
Dimitri: Oh, brother.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimitri: [after Anastasia hands him a dynamite and it's about to explode] What do they teach you in those orphanages?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anastasia: [imitating Comrade Phlegmenkoff after leaving the orphanage] "Be grateful, Anya." I *am* grateful - grateful to get away!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anastasia: [seeing something crash behind a speeding train after she just pulled Dimitri back inside] And to think that could have been you.
Dimitri: If we get out of this alive, remind me to thank you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[the locomotive and baggage car get separated from the rest of the train.]
Dimitri: What was that?
Vladimir: I don't know, but there goes the dining car.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rasputin: [sneering] Long Live the Romanovs!
Anastasia: All right! I couldn't have said it better myself!
[tackles him]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[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... ]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bartok: [after landing in Rasputin's lair] Oh, boy! Ow. I tell you what, ow!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bartok: [seeing a female bat flirt with him] Wow! I tell you what, wow!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[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...
[looses 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.
