- Vladimir: The very first thing you must learn in becoming a princess is how to hold your head.
- Anastasia: I intend to "hold it" on top of my neck.
- Prince Paul: Where is my royal assistant, Goofinoff? Is Goofinoff "goofin' off" again?
- Alexei / Accordion: It's her!
- [points to Tatania / Cello]
- Alexei / Accordion: Old Syrupy Strings over there, she's always dragging the tempo!
- Tatania / Cello: To play music is to live. To live is to suffer. To play music, then, is to suffer.
- Alexei / Accordion: What is she talking about?
- Tatania / Cello: To suffer is to suffer.
- Alexei / Accordion: To know you is suffering enough, pizzacato breath!
- Tatania / Cello: [sticks her bow at Alexei / Accordion like a sword] Can it, WindBox!
- the Bad Checka: Well, Goofinoff? Is she up there?
- Goofinoff: [playing with the Checka's crow] Here pretty little raven birdy, come to Daddums, you sweet little black birdy of death!
- [crow knocks Goofinoff's toupee into the mud.]
- Goofinoff: Sweet birdy?
- Vladimir: [talking about Anastasia] The last heir to the Romanov throne!
- [to himself:]
- Vladimir: And of the Romanov fortune!
