Arguement

Florence
I would've thought in the average affair
That the first hint of trouble would be
Oh, so small; barely perceptible easy to miss
Why is ours on TV ? 

The Russian
Listen - you know as I do
Nothing's altered at all
I have no intension -

Florence
Your personal life's
the lead on the news !
How do we ignore that ?

The Russian
I do and I must because otherwise I say
Goodbye to my hopes of retaining my title
If I should succumb to emotional blackmail I'm done -

Florence
Looking after number one

The Russian
What do you mean ?

Florence
I mean it's always I this and I that
What happened to us ?

The Russian
All that I'm saying is that I must make certain
That nothing distracts me from chess
When I've won then I'll attend to the secondry things -

Florence
Things like me I suppose !

The Russian
No, no -  you're reacting
Exactly the way that they want

Florence
It's the way I have to
If I feel concerned I can't put it off
And come back to it later

The Russian
Well if you're determined to jump when they tell you
Then maybe it's best that you do it alone
Watch TV, read the papers, have the
miserable time of your life
You could even call my wife !
