Lyrics
Pick up to six lines to make a card.
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 a 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
FLORENCE & ANATOLY
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
No, you're not dangerous
Who could think that of
FLORENCE & ANATOLY
You, 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
FLORENCE & ANATOLY
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
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?
FREDDIE, 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
