Chess - The Interview lyrics

rate me

Walter: [Spoken]

Tonight's final item is a Global scoop.

The former champion, our Freddie Trumper, talks to Anatoly Sergievsky,

the man who beat him a year ago,

and who is defending his title here right now in Bangkok, Thailand.

Let's get that Sergievsky family video lined up, okay?

Walter:

We all want times in our careers,

when we make a little history.

Receive the plaudits of our peers,

perhaps that time is here right now for me.

Ah Anatoly, if I may, let me say right away,

you will be thrilled, because the other seat is filled

by a long-standing friend of yours.

Action!

Frederick:

Well, here we are face to face once again.

Anatoly:

By any standards, a bizarre reunion!

Frederick:

Is being homeless affecting your game?

Anatoly:

I wouldn't know, as I have a home in England.

Frederick:

No, by a home I mean real home--the place where your family is.

Anatoly: [Spoken]

England is my real home.

Frederick:

What are your latest political aims?

Anatoly:

What are you saying?

Frederick:

Your anti-Russian crusade, has it worked?

Anatoly:

I am no crusader.

Frederick:

What is your true motivation?

That is something we all want to know.

Anatoly: [Spoken]

You know damn well what my motivation is, okay?

Frederick:

Here we see a man under great pressure--

Two fights to fight, yet he could not look fresher.

Chess and politics, I take my hat off.

To any champion, who can pull that off?

I hear your second controls everything.

Anatoly:

Chess is her passion.

Frederick:

But her obsession is East versus West.

Anatoly:

Chess is her passion.

Frederick:

I know a little about her,

and she has got her own ax to grind.

Anatoly: [Spoken]

That is not true.

Frederick:

Aren't you concerned that why your wife is not here?

Anatoly:

I don't discuss my private life in public.

Frederick:

But don't you care that she is not by your side?

Anatoly:

I think I've had enough of this discussion!

Frederick:

Well, we've a little surprise.

We've got your wife on the video.

Walter: [Spoken]

Run the video!

Frederick:

Let her talk to you, give you her version--

How married life has changed, since your desertion.

Hey come back, my friend, we are only showing

home movies--nothing more, where are you going?

Walter: [Spoken]

Great interview!

Molokov: [Spoken]

Bravo, Mr, de Courcy--Walter!

Walter: [Spoken]

Ah, Alexander!

Molokov: [Spoken]

I am glad that old film did the trick.

We are going to be able to help each other.

Walter: [Spoken]

Heartwarming international cooperation.

Molokov: [Spoken]

I have good news about Anatoly's lady friend.

Florence Vassy's father is alive.

Walter: [Spoken]

Really? Well, this is good news. Have you told her yet?

Molokov: [Spoken]

No, I was going to leave that pleasure to you.

However, my friend, there is one thing-

Walter: [Spoken]

Yes, of course there is.

Molokov: [Spoken]

I think Mr. Sergievsky must lose the match and come home.

Do you not agree?

Walter: [Spoken]

Sure, but there are others beside Vassy we wish to see come home.

Molokov: [Spoken]

That should not be a problem. Do we have a deal?

Walter: [Spoken]

We have a deal, and everybody wins.

Molokov: [Spoken]

Except Anatoly.

Walter: [Spoken]

But he gets the lovely Svetlana.
