[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 going 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, we 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!
