Rasputin: You dare to banish the great Rasputin? By the unholy powers vested in me, I banish you, with a curse! Mark my words: you and your family will die within a fortnight! I will not rest until I see the end of the Romanov line forever.
Bartok: Just wishing I could do the job for you, sir. I'd give her a HA! And a HI-YA! And then a OOH-WAH! And I'd kick her, sir.
Sophie: It's a perfect ending.
Dowager Empress Marie: No. It's a perfect beginning.
Bartok: You're on your own, sir! This can only end in tears.
Dowager Empress Marie: You'll stop at nothing, will you?
Dimitri: I'm probably about as stubborn as you are.
Rasputin: I am calm. I am heartless. I have no fear what so ever.
Anastasia: Men are such babies.
Vladimir: That's what I hate about this government. Everything's in red.
Vladimir: Dimitri! I think someone has flambéed our engine.
Dimitri: I was the boy in the palace - the one who opened the wall. She's the real thing, Vlad.
Vladimir: Then that means that our Anya has found her family. We have found the heir to the Russian throne. And you.
Dimitri: Will walk out of her life forever.
Vladimir: But.
Dimitri: Princesses don't marry kitchen boys.
Answer: Amnesia exists, but it is a temporary condition. It does not last for the long-term and people usually regain their memory in a day or two, sometimes up to a week. Extreme cases can last longer, but not in the way it is depicted in movies. Some people may lose memories due to severe brain damage from a traumatic injury, but that is permanent.
