There�s no glory at all in losing, in fact to loose just isn�t worth thinking about. My job is to make sure you win and that�s what I�m doing.
[Anatoly walks away]
ARBITER
And then Freddie makes a desperate final play for the only woman he's ever really loved.
FREDDIE AND FLORENCE
FREDDIE
Silly boy, woman who
He should not have let walk out ... ...
... ... Leave him be, honey
Don't you know it's not true
Your father isn't alive!
FLORENCE
How do you know about my father?
FREDDIE
Molokov told me, he wants me to throw the game. It's all just a trick Florence, don't you understand?
They'll do anything to keep that title.
FLORENCE
I know why they're doing it, but this is my father's life we're talking about, I can't put it at risk.
FREDDIE
I can't throw the match!
[Florence walks away, but walks straight into the path of Svetlana.]
ARBITER
Finally the wife takes matters into her own hands
SVETLANA AND FLORENCE
SVETLANA
I hope you're proud of what you've done, you've destroyed Anatoly's game and you've destroyed our marriage.
FLORENCE
I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
SVETLANA
I've heard about women like you, trampling over everybody just to get what she wants.
FLORENCE
It wasn't like that, I didn't plan any of this, you've got to believe me.
SVETLANA
Whether you did or not, it's us that has to suffer. You don't know how much damage you've done!
FLORENCE
I do, I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do.
SVETLANA
Why don't you ask Trumper to throw the match? That's the only thing that can help us now. This is all your fault - it's up to you to put it right!
FLORENCE
I can't ask Freddie to throw the match, I can't do it!
SVETLANA
In that case maybe you should just go! Leave Bangkok and let the men fight their battle in peace!
[Florence walks away and leaves the ballroom. She takes a seat on the Terrace and begins to read the documents about her father. As she does so, she reflects on everything that's been happening.]
NOBODY'S SIDE
[Having decided that her only option is to ask Freddie to throw the match, Florence returns to the Ballroom to find him.]
