CHESS INSTRUMENTAL
[Chess Break 1 � Florence and Freddie�s hotel room.]
FREDDIE
I hope you�re proud of yourself! One game down already! And it�s all your fault.
FLORENCE
How can you blame me for your ridiculously miscalculated moves? You should be able to get yourself out of jams like that without even thinking.
FREDDIE
That�s the problem. All I can think of is you and him! Every time I look at him I can hear him coming on to you � and you being taken in by his corny words. How could you?
FLORENCE
Freddie, nothing happened, we only talked.
FREDDIE
But if I hadn�t arrived when I did, God knows how far it would have gone. I can�t trust you now Florence.
FLORENCE
Nothing has changed. I�m with you aren�t I, not him!
FREDDIE

FREDDIE

MOLOKOV
But the thing is, Trumper thinks you did, he�s lost his concentration. He can barely look you in the face anymore. Haven�t you noticed?
ANATOLY
Yes, I�ve noticed.
MOLOKOV
You see there is more than one way to win at chess. Keep on seeing that woman and the tournament will be over in just a few days.
ANATOLY
There is only one important way to win, but there are a thousand ways to cheat. I want to win on my own strength. I won�t play these crazy games of psychology that you are so enthralled by.
MOLOKOV
It�s your only chance.
ANATOLY
I won�t do it!
[Chess Break 3 � Somewhere around the arena building.]
ANATOLY
I need to talk to you alone.
FLORENCE
I�m sorry, that just wouldn�t be a good idea! If Freddie found out�
