The scene changes to a bench. Four of the boys in the chorus sit on it acting drunk. Alex and Alise walk onstage.
"They know where were living, his name is Gleb," She said.
"Look whose here the prince of Petersburg." One said.
"Thought you were in Paris," Two said.
"He missed his old partners in crime," Three said.
"Looks like he got himself a new girlfriend," Four said.
"She's not my girlfriend," Alex said.
"Its Anastasia herself!" Two said.
"I've bet he got you bowing for him like a regular old tsarina." Four said. Alise and Alex attempted to walk away when One blocked them.
"Going to Paris?" One asked. They walked the other way.
