Chess [musical] - Mountain Duet

[FLORENCE]

This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid

Nothing I say will convince him it isn't a trick

[THE RUSSIAN]

A drink on a clear moonlit night

I relax, she smiles

There's something unpleasant going on

[FLORENCE]

So with immaculate timing, I'm left to carry the can

Embarrassed, outnumbered, marooned

[THE RUSSIAN]

Now she can't be working for them

I mean us

She seems so very straightforward

But where is he?

[FLORENCE]

He has to come back

He wanted this meeting

Well didn't he?

[THE RUSSIAN]

Maybe he's scared

Just as scared as he was 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

[THE RUSSIAN]

Well, at least she's a good-looking spy

[FLORENCE]

What if my Russian friend thinks that my plans

Are more of an intimate kind?

If I don't say something and soon

He'll go

Nobody's on nobody's side

[THE RUSSIAN]

Listen, I hate to break up the mood

Get to the point, begin the beguine

Haven't you noticed we're a protagonist short

In this idyllic, well-produced scene?

[FLORENCE]

All I can say is moments ago

He was right here, ready and waiting

[THE RUSSIAN]

Never mind him

I haven't missed him so far

[FLORENCE + THE RUSSIAN]

Maybe it won't do any harm

To struggle on without his charm?

Funny how all at once I feel

That he can go jump off the mountain, I won't care

[FLORENCE]

This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid

[THE RUSSIAN]

My dear opponent

I really can't imagine why

[FLORENCE]

So I am not dangerous then?

What a shame

[THE RUSSIAN]

Oh, you're not dangerous

Who could think that of you?

[FLORENCE + THE RUSSIAN]

You, you are so strange

Why can't you be what you ought to be?

You should be scheming, intriguing, too clever by half

[THE RUSSIAN]

I have to hand it to you

For you've managed to make me forget why I ever agreed to this farce

[FLORENCE + THE RUSSIAN]

I don't know why I can't think of anything

I would rather do

Than be wasting my time

On mountains with you
