Quotes 

• 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 : See that you remember, you incompetent rodent!

  [Throws Bartok across the room] 

  Bartok : Oh sure, blame the bat. What the heck? We're easy targets.

• 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 : Say your prayers, Anastasia! No one can save you!

  Dimitri : Wanna bet?

• Rasputin : [sneering]  Long Live the Romanovs!

  Anastasia : All right! I couldn't have said it better myself!

  [tackles him] 

• Rasputin : Dasvidaniya, Your Highness.

• Bartok : Master! You're alive?

  Rasputin : In a matter of speaking!

  [Rasputin's eyeball pops out, Bartok catches it] 

  Bartok : Whoa, that fell right out there, sir!

• Anastasia : I'm not afraid of you!

  Rasputin : I can fix that! Care for a little swim under the ice?

• 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.

• Rasputin : I am calm. I am heartless. I have no feelings whatsoever.

• 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] 

• 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] 

• 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]
