Rasputin
- Rasputin: Bartok, get me a comb, find some cologne. I want to look my best!
- Bartok: That might take some work, sir.
- Rasputin: We're going to a party!
- Bartok: A party? Ooh, I could teach you the latest dance step. It starts with, like, a "whoa." And then you get really crazy with the hips, sir. It's fun!
- Rasputin: We'll let the Grand Duchess Anastasia have her moment.
- Bartok: [dancing] Aah, who cares?
- Rasputin: And then we'll kill her!
- Bartok: Right. Kill... kill her? Sir, what happened to the party idea?
- Rasputin: That's where I will kill her.
- [laughs and tears up newspaper]
- Rasputin: Crush her at the height of her glory.
- Bartok: And we're back to the crushing. Sir, I'm begging you, please, please forget the girl and get a life!
- Rasputin: Oh, I'll get a life, Bartok. Hers!
- Rasputin: [singing] In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning / And the nightmare I had was as dark as can be / It scared me out of my wits / A corpse falling to bits / Then I opened my eyes and the nightmare was me!
- Rasputin: Something is happening, Bartok. I could feel the dark forces stirring.
- Bartok: I'm not surprised, sir. It's Anastasia. I saw her.
- Rasputin: Anastasia, alive?
- [His mouth falls out]
- Bartok: Ah, sir? Your lips, they're...
- Rasputin: That Romanov brat!
- Bartok: Ain't that a kick in the head. I guess a curse isn't what it used to be.
- Czar Nicholas: [upon Rasputin crashing the celebration] How dare you return to the palace!
- Rasputin: But... I am your confident.
- Czar Nicholas: Confidant? Ha! *You* are a traitor! Get out!
- Rasputin: You think you can banish the great Rasputin?
- [He holds up his reliquary]
- Rasputin: By the unholy powers vested in me, I banish *you*, with a *curse*!
- [Everyone present gasps in horror]
- Rasputin: Mark my words: you and your family will die within the fortnight! I will not rest until I see the end of the Romanov line--forever!
- [Rasputin then uses his reliquary to shoot down the chandelier]
- Anastasia: This is for Dimitri!
- [smashes his reliquary with her foot]
- Rasputin: Give it back!
- Anastasia: This is for my family!
- [smashing his reliquary again]
- Rasputin: [grabs her gown] I'll tear you to pieces!
- Anastasia: And this--this is for you!
- Rasputin: No!
- Anastasia: Dasvidaniya!
- [began to crush his reliquary and it explodes, unleashing the minions, who turn against Rasputin, and in the process, he crosses over, disintegrates to a skeleton, then to dust, ending the Romanov curse forever]
- Rasputin: [after his hand detaches from his arm] Look at me! I'm falling apart.
- [crying]
- Rasputin: I'm a wreck!
- Bartok: Actually, considering how long you've been dead, you look pretty good. Sir, you do!
- Rasputin: [flattered] Really?
- Bartok: Sir, is this the face of a bat who would lie to you?
- [gives Rasputin a cute face]
