Musicals - Chess - The Interview Lyrics
Walter: [Spoken]Tonight's final item is a Global scoop.The former champion, our Freddie Trumper, talks to Anatoly Sergievsky,The man who beat him a year ago,And who is defending his title here right now in Bangkok, Thailand.Let's get that Sergievsky family video lined up, okay?Walter:We all want times in our careers,When we make a little history.Receive the plaudits of our peers,Perhaps that time is here right now for me.Ah Anatoly, if I may, let me say right away,You will be thrilled, because the other seat is filledBy a long-standing friend of yours.Action!Frederick:Well, here we are face to face once again.Anatoly:By any standards, a bizarre reunion!Frederick:Is being homeless affecting your game?Anatoly:I wouldn't know, as I have a home in England.Frederick:No, by a home I mean real home--the place where your family is.Anatoly: [Spoken]England is my real home.Frederick:What are your latest political aims?Anatoly:What are you saying?Frederick:Your anti-Russian crusade, has it worked?Anatoly:I am no crusader.Frederick:What is your true motivation?That is something we all want to know.Anatoly: [Spoken]You know damn well what my motivation is, okay?Frederick:Here we see a man under great pressure--Two fights to fight, yet he could not look fresher.Chess and politics, I take my hat off.To any champion, who can pull that off?I hear your second controls everything.Anatoly:Chess is her passion.Frederick:But her obsession is East versus West.Anatoly:Chess is her passion.Frederick:I know a little about her,And she has got her own ax to grind.Anatoly: [Spoken]That is not true.Frederick:Aren't you concerned that why your wife is not here?Anatoly:I don't discuss my private life in public.Frederick:But don't you care that she is not by your side?Anatoly:I think I've had enough of this discussion!Frederick:Well, we've a little surprise.We've got your wife on the video.Walter: [Spoken]Run the video!Frederick:Let her talk to you, give you her version--How married life has changed, since your desertion.Hey come back, my friend, we are only showingHome movies--nothing more, where are you going?Walter: [Spoken]Great interview!Molokov: [Spoken]Bravo, Mr, de Courcy--Walter!Walter: [Spoken]Ah, Alexander!Molokov: [Spoken]I am glad that old film did the trick.We are going to be able to help each other.Walter: [Spoken]Heartwarming international cooperation.Molokov: [Spoken]I have good news about Anatoly's lady friend.Florence Vassy's father is alive.Walter: [Spoken]Really? Well, this is good news. Have you told her yet?Molokov: [Spoken]No, I was going to leave that pleasure to you.However, my friend, there is one thing-Walter: [Spoken]Yes, of course there is.Molokov: [Spoken]I think Mr. Sergievsky must lose the match and come home.Do you not agree?Walter: [Spoken]Sure, but there are others beside Vassy we wish to see come home.Molokov: [Spoken]That should not be a problem. Do we have a deal?Walter: [Spoken]We have a deal, and everybody wins.Molokov: [Spoken]Except Anatoly.Walter: [Spoken]But he gets the lovely Svetlana.
