Walter and Florence - Chess In Concert

Walter:

So in the end our hero won brilliantly.

Surprised us all.

He’s played as well as he’s ever done.

Florence:

No surprise.

Walter:

Well this is--

He’s just announced he’s going back to the soviet union.

He seems unable to win without the added thrill of changing sides.

Don’t you have a single word to say?

Florence:

No… No.

No, you wouldn’t listen anyhow,

And what I’m feeling now

Has no easy explanations.

Hasn’t this been a great achievement?

Losing you man and nothing in return.

Walter:

Well, not my man, it’s your man.

Anyway, Anatoly’s

return to the soviet union is a very descent gesture.

It’s vertualy assured us some very important collateral--

Including you father.

He must have done it for you.

He wouldn’t have done it for me.

We’ll get your father out--

if he’s still alive.
