Anastasia - Learn to do it

[Anastasia]
How do you become the person you've forgotten you ever wore?

[Vladimir]
Take a deep breath. Close your eyes, and imagine another time, another world.

You were born in a palace by the sea.

[Dmitri]
A palace by the sea

[Anastasia]
Could it be?

[Vladimir]
Yes, it's so.
You rode horseback when you were only three.

[Anastasia]
Horseback riding? Me?

[Dmitri]
Horse's name?

[Vladimir]
Romeo.
You through tantrums and terrorized the cook!
Ha! How the palace shook!

[Dmitri]
Charming child.

[Vladimir]
Wrote the book. But you'd behave when you father gave that look.

[Dmitri]
Imagine how it was. Your long forgotten past

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast.

[Vladimir]
Let's see you walk. Head up!
Now, shoulders back and stand up tall
And do not walk, but try to float.

[Anastasia]
I feel a little foolish.
Am I floating?

[Dmitri]
Like a sinking boat!
You give a bow.

[Anastasia]
What happens now?

[Vladimir]
Your hand receives a kiss!

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
Most of all remember this:

[Vladimir]
If I can learn to do it, you can learn to do it.

[Dmitri]
Something in you knows it --

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
There's nothing to it!

[Vladimir]
Follow in my footsteps, shoe by shoe!

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
You can learn to do it too!

[Dmitri]
Now, elbows in and sit up straight
And do not slurp the stroganoff.

[Anastasia]
I never cared for stroganoff!

[Vladimir]
She said that like a Romanov!

[Dmitri]
The Samovar.

[Vladimir]
The caviar.

[Anastasia]
Dessert and then goodnight?

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
Not until you get this right!

[Vladimir]
If I can learn to do it

[Dmitri]
If he can learn to do it

[Vladimir]
You can learn to do it!

[Dmitri]
You can learn to do it

[Vladimir]
Pull yourself together

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
And you'll pull through it!

[Vladimir]
Tell yourself it's easy

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
And it's true!
You can learn to do it, too!

[Vladimir]
Who is your great-grandmother?

[Anastasia]
Queen Victoria.

[Vladimir]
Great-great grandmother?

[Anastasia]
Uh--- Princess Victoria of Saxe-Colburg-Saalfeld

[Vladimir]
Your best friend is?

[Anastasia]
My little brother, Alexi

[Dmitri]
Wrong! Your best friend?

[Anastasia]
I know who my best friend is!

[Dmitri]
What a temper!

[Anastasia]
I don't like being contradicted!

[Dmitri]
That makes two of us!

[Vladimir]
Continuing on...

[Anastasia]
I've had it, and I hate you both,
I'm sorry that we ever met.
I'm hungry, I'm frightened,
and I'm only human, don't forget!
I don't remember anything.
Get out and let me be!

[Vladimir]
Anya, darling, look at me.
You're all frightened
Well, slightly, now and then.
Shall we start again?
Take a breath, count to ten.
You have courage,
And strength you barely know.
So blow that little nose,
And dry those pretty eyes,
A princess like your majesty
Can do this if she tries!
Ready?

[Dmitri]
Set.

[Anastasia]
Go.

[Vladimir]
Now who's your great Aunt Olga?

[Dmitri]
How she frolicked on the Volga.

[Anastasia]
Oh!

[Vladimir]
Your distant cousin Vanya loved his vodka

[Dmitri]
Got it Anya?

[Anastasia]
No!

[Vladimir]
The Duke of Oldenburgh was short
Louise of Baden

[Dmitri]
had a?

[Anastasia]
Wart!

[Vladimir]
Count Sergei

[Dmitri]
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.

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
If you can learn to do it,

[Anastasia]
If I can learn to do it!

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
He can learn to do it,

[Anastasia]
You can learn to do it!

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
Pull yourself together

[Anastasia, Vladimir and Dmitri]
And you'll pull through it!

[Vladimir]
Tell yourself it's easy,

[Anastasia, Vladimir and Dmitri]
And it's true --

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
You can learn to do it,

[Anastasia]
Nothing to it!

[Anastasia, Vladimir and Dmitri]
You can learn to do it

[Anastasia]
The caviar, the stroganoff, the Samovar, the feathered hat,
The cousin drank, the duke was short, here a wart and there a cat.
The horse's name was Romeo, oh so tell me something new

[Vladimir and Dmitri]
Ha!

[Anastasia, Vladimir and Dmitri]
You can learn to do it, too!!
