Anatoly and Molokov [Polish translation]

[MOLOKOV, spoken]

The man is utterly mad. Believe me, Anatoly, you're playing a lunatic

[ANATOLY, spoken]

That's the problem. He's a brilliant lunatic, and you can't tell which way he'll jump. Like his game, he's impossible to analyze. You can't predict him, dissect him, which of course means he's not a lunatic at all

[MOLOKOV]

What we've just seen's a pathetic display

From a man who's beginning to crack

He's afraid

He knows he isn't the player he was

And he won't get it back

[ANATOLY]

Nonsense!

Why do you people

Always want to believe

Third-rate propaganda?

[MOLOKOV]

My friend, please relax

We're all on your side

You know how you need us

[ANATOLY]

I don't need my army

Of so-called advisors

And helpers

To tell me the man

Who's revitalized chess single-handed

Is more or less out of his brain

When it's very clear he's sane

[MOLOKOV]

Listen, we don't underestimate Trumper

We won't get caught in that trap

After all, winning or losing

Reflects on us all

[ANATOLY]

Oh, don't give me that crap

I win, no one else does

And I take the rap if I lose

[MOLOKOV]

It's not quite that simple

The whole world's tuned in

We're all on display

We're not merely sportsmen

[ANATOLY]

Oh, please don't start spouting

That old party line

Yes, I know it's your job

But just get out and get me

My chess-playing second

In 36 hours we begin

That is if you want to win!

[MOLOKOV, spoken]

Wanting is not sufficient. We have to know. We have to make sure. All men have a weakness: his is that woman. Take her, and you win the game

[ANATOLY, spoken]

So you think I can't win otherwise?

[MOLOKOV, spoken]

I'm not saying that. I'm just making certain. And she is attractive. Then there's her intriguing family history -- Hungary, 1956 and all that

[ANATOLY, spoken]

I'm a chess player, Mr. Molokov. You go and play these other games
