(::FLORENCE::)
This is the one situation
I wanted most to avoid
Nothing I say will convince him this isn't a trick.
(::ANATOLY::)
A drink on a clear moonlit night --
I relax, she smiles
There's something peculiar going on.
(::FLORENCE::)
So, through no fault of my own,
I'm in it way over my head.
Embarrassed, outnumbered, marooned.
(::ANATOLY::)
Now she can't be working for them --
I mean us --
She seems to know what she's doing --
But where is he?
(::FLORENCE::)
He has to show up.
It can't come to nothing.
Perhaps it can!
(::ANATOLY::)
Maybe he's scared --
But he didn't seem scared in the game.
(::FLORENCE::)
Oh, I just couldn't care less
He can go right ahead
Go and wreck his career
I know I've done my best.
(::ANATOLY::)
Well at least she's a good-looking spy.
(::FLORENCE::)
What if my Russian friend thinks
That my plans have nothing to do with the chess?
If I don't say something and soon
He'll go -- maybe I'm on nobody's side!
(::ANATOLY::)
Listen, I hate to break up the mood
How do you say, begin the beguine
Haven't you noticed
We're still one character short
In this idyllic, well-produced scene?
(::FLORENCE::)
How could I not? Miss Vassy regrets
Anything goes, with your opponent.
(::ANATOLY::)
Never mind him --
I haven't missed him so far.
Maybe it won't do any harm
To struggle on without his charm
Funny how all at once I feel
Nothing about that meeting matters anymore.
(::FLORENCE::)
This is the one situation
I wanted most to avoid.
(::ANATOLY::)
My dear opponent --
I really can't imagine why.
(::FLORENCE::)
You'll think I'm the dangerous kind --
Well I am!
(::ANATOLY::)
You, you're not dangerous --
Who could think that of you?
(::FLORENCE::)
You -- you are so strange --
Why can't you be what you ought to be?
(::BOTH::)
You should be scheming, intriguing, too clever by half.
(::ANATOLY::)
I have to had it to you --
For you've managed to make me
Forget why I ever agreed to this farce.
(::BOTH::)
I don't know why I can't think of anything
I would rather do
Than be wasting my time with someone like you.
