Chess (Complete Cast Album):Talking Chess

FREDDIE
This is the one situation
I wanted most to avoid...

ANATOLY
Then what on earth are we doing,
I could be better employed.

FREDDIE
No!
Please hear me out, I think I can help

ANATOLY
If it's about Florence I'm warning you...

FREDDIE
No!
It's not about her,
Your wife or your kids,
Or money or Walter,
or Molokov.

ANATOLY
What the hell is it?!?!

FREDDIE
I want to talk chess!

ANATOLY
Chess.

FREDDIE
Something I noticed in Viigand,
It's his king's Indian defense.
One of the lines he's been trying,
Doesn't completely make sense!

ANATOLY
I...
I don't understand.

FREDDIE
I told you his king's Indian..

ANATOLY
No, I don't understand why you're helping me...

FREDDIE
Because I love chess.
Does nobody else? Gee!
Sometimes I think I'm the only one.
How can you let mediocrity win?

You know, in all my dealings with Florence I never once made a good move?
