By arguing over a game of chess?

Not very many--the way things are going

There'll soon be one less!

FREDDIE

Don't believe you, sweetie pie--

Listen, Freddie, I too had ambitions

How did I get waylaid?

How can such a flower,

A sensitive soul, a delicate child

Wind up as a nursemaid

Respectably set for the glittering prizes

Instead of which I landed you--

You'll get your prizes!

I'm ninety percent of the way to the top of the heap.

Thanks--ten percent--you got me cheap

No, no, Florence--I meant we are ninety percent of the way--

How many women--articulate women, with

Something to shout about --spend their time

Playing a game in which silence is golden

And speaking a crime?

Maybe if he moved his king....

All of my struggles for qualification--my

Nights with Goethe and Proust

Recklessly abandoned

For you! Who thinks Chekhov is King to G3

And Joyce my college roommate!

But when I show you a move you can't fathom

I have to admit it feels great--

Great news for chess fans!

(making triumphant move)

Yeah--that's how he did it--yes that's how the communist plays!

Maybe I deserve a raise.
