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