GLEB
An underhanded girl
An act of desperation
And to my consternation
I let you go…

Well, not this time. Paris is no place for a good and loyal Russian.

ANYA
We are both good and loyal Russians.

GLEB
I’ve come to take you home.

ANYA
My home is here now.

GLEB
Stop playing this game, Anya! I beg you!

ANYA
We both know it’s not a game, Gleb!

GLEB
If you really are Anastasia - do you think history wants you to have lived?

ANYA
Yes. Why don’t you?

GLEB
The Romanovs were given everything!
And gave back nothing!
Until the Russian people rose up and destroyed them!

ANYA
All but one!
Finish it.
I am my father’s daughter!

GLEB
And I am my father’s son!
Finish it I must!

My father shook his head and told me not to ask
My mother said he died of shame

ANYA
In me you see them
Look at their faces in mine
Here their screams
Imagine their terror
See their blood

GLEB
But I believe he did a proud and vital task
And in my father's name

ANYA
Do it! And I will be with my parents and my brother and sisters
In that cellar in Yekaterinburg all over again!

GLEB
The children
Their voices
A man makes painful choices
He does what’s necessary, Anya!
For Russia
My beauty
What choice but simple duty
We have the past to bury, Anya!

ENSEMBLE
But the Neva flows, a new wind blows

GLEB & ENSEMBLE
And soon it will be spring
The leaves unfold, the Tsar lies cold

GLEB
Be careful what a dream may bring
A revolution is a simple thing!
