Mountain Duet [In Concert, 2008]

[FLORENCE]

This is the one situation

I wanted most to avoid

Nothing I say will convince him

This isn't a trick

[ANATOLY]

A drink on clear moonlit night--

I relax, she smiles

There's something peculiar going on

[FLORENCE]

So through no fault of my own

I'm stuck here to carry the can

Embarrassed, uncertain, marooned

[ANATOLY]

Now she can't be working for them--

I mean us--

She seems to know what she's doing

But where is he?

[FLORENCE]

He has to turn up

He wanted this meeting

Didn't he?

[ANATOLY]

Maybe he's scared

But he didn't seem scared

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

[ANATOLY]

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

Maybe I'm on nobody's side!

[ANATOLY]

Listen, I hate to break up the mood

Get to the point, begin the beguine

Haven't you noticed we are a protagonist short

In this idyllic, well-produced scene?

[FLORENCE]

He couldn't wait

To join you up here

Maybe he walked--

Cable cars scare him

[ANATOLY]

Never mind him

I haven't missed him so far

[BOTH]

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

[ANATOLY]

My dear opponent--

I really can't imagine why

[FLORENCE]

So I am not dangerous then?

What a shame

[ANATOLY] + (FLORENCE)

No, you're not dangerous

Who could think that of you? (You--)

BOTH]

You are so strange

Why can't you be

What you ought to be?

You should be scheming

Intriguing

Too clever by half!

[ANATOLY]

I have to hand it to you

For you've managed

To make me forget

Why I ever agreed to this farce

[BOTH]

I don't know why

I can't think of anything

I would rather do

Than be wasting my time

On mountains with you

[FREDDIE, entering the scene]

Who'd ever think it?

Such a very pretty setting

Tell me what's the betting

Very pretty plotting, too

No matter--

I've done all your work for you

[FLORENCE, spoken]

Freddie

[FREDDIE]

Who'd ever guess it?

Daughter in collaboration

With the very nation

Gave her father third degree

Where's Daddy

Dead or in the KGB?

(spoken)

While my second has been curling up with my opponent, I have agreed to new terms with Global Television, which in short means more money-- for you as well, but that can't be helped. Therefore, this meeting is unnecessary. The match can continue and we don't have to be friends
