LEARN TO DO IT

[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, 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!
