Though he was not often with me
He gave all of his time
To his game and to his masters
He had his dreams
I lived my nightmares
And now once again
My nightmares have found me
And now he's
Where he wants to be ... ...
... ...When this crazy wheel slows down
Where will I be
I'll still be denying
Anything's changed
Anything's dying
[Molokov enters.]
MOLOKOV
Where�s Anatoly?
SVETLANA
He said he had to leave, I don�t know where he was going.
MOLOKOV
I forgot to tell you about the Federation�s cocktail party this evening. Everybody will be there, including the press. I want you to be by Anatoly�s side the whole time. We need to show the press and the world that you and he are a happily married couple.
SVETLANA
I�m not so sure that we are anymore.
MOLOKOV
Then we have to make sure that one day you will be happy once again. You�re not just here for a holiday my dear � it�s your marriage that�s at stake. Only you can win him back from this woman � only you can keep him loyal to Russia.
SVETLANA
I�ll do what I can.
MOLOKOV
Wonderful, now let�s go and buy you something beautiful to wear.
[Later that evening, just before the cocktail party, Molokov and Walter meet to discuss a possible
collaboration between them. They are both dressed in eveningwear.]
MOLOKOV
Ah Walter, very smart.
WALTER
Very uncomfortable.
MOLOKOV
The things we have to suffer for our countries.
WALTER
I can�t imagine that you�ve had to suffer very much Alexander.
MOLOKOV
We�ve all had to make sacrifices at one time or another.
WALTER
What�s this all about? Your message didn�t say much.
MOLOKOV
I�m sure you can appreciate that discretion is of the utmost importance in this matter.
WALTER
I can appreciate discretion, but what is the matter in question?
MOLOKOV
It seems we are going to be able to help each other.
