SCENE TWELVE
THE STREETS OF PARIS
(DMITRY walks in with his suitcase. ANYA runs in after him.)
DMITRY
If you ever see me from a carriage again, don't wave, don't smile...
I don't want to be in love with someone I can't have for the rest of my life. Goodbye, Your Majesty.
(He bows and picks up his suitcase to leave. He stops when
ANYA talks.)
ANYA
I always dreamed my first kiss would be in Paris with a handsome prince.
DMITRY
I'm not your prince, Anya.
ANYA
(crossing to him)
The Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov would care to disagree!
(She takes his suitcase and steps on it.)
Dima.
(She kisses him. They smile and DMITRY lifts ANYA off of the suitcase. He puts her down, grabs the suitcase, and she takes his arm. In another part of the stage, the DOWAGER EMPRESS is giving the press conference. GLEB is also giving a press conference in Leningrad on the other side of the stage.)
#26 FINALE
DOWAGER EMPRESS
As of today, there will be no more Anastasias. The reward for her safe return will be given to charity.
GLEB
There never was an Anastasia. She was a dream.
DOWAGER EMPRESS
A beautiful dream.
GLEB
A dream that only time will fade.
DOWAGER EMPRESS
So, no more talk of the Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov.
GLEB
The new order has no need for fairytales. The case is closed.
DOWAGER EMPRESS
But still...
(The ENSEMBLE dances and ANYA and DMITRY enter. They hold hands.)
ALL
FAR AWAY
LONG AGO
GLOWING DIM AS AN EMBER
THINGS MY HEART USED TO KNOW...
ONCE UPON A DECEMBER!
