Mountain Duet

Florence
This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid
Nothing I say will convince him it isn't a trick

The Russian
A drink on a clear moonlit night - I relax, she smiles
There's something unpleasant going on

Florence
So with immaculate timing, I'm left to carry the can
Embarrassed, outnumbered, marooned -

The Russian
Now she can't be working for them - I mean us - 
She seems so very straight forward - but where is he ?

Florence
He has to come back - he wanted this meeting, well didn't he?

The Russian
Maybe he's scared - just as scared as the was in the game

Florence
Oh I just couldn't care less
He can go right ahead, go and wreck his career
I know I've done my best

The Russian
Well at least she's a good looking spy

Florence
What if my Russian friend thinks that my plans
Are more of an intimate kind ?
If I don't say something else soon
He'll go - Nobodys on nobody's side!

The Russian
Listen, I hate to break up the mood
Get to the point, begin the beguine
Haven't you noticed we're a protagonist short
In this idyllic, well produced scene ?

Florence
All I can say is moments ago
He was right here ready and waiting

The Russian
Never mind him - I haven't missed him so far

Both
Maybe it won't do any harm
To struggle on without his charm
Funny how all at once I feel that he can go jump off the mountain I won't care

Florence
This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid

The Russian
My dear opponent - I really can't imagine why

Florence
So I'm not dangerous then ? - what a shame

The Russian
Oh you're not dangerous - who could think that of you ?
Both
You - you are so strange - why can't you be
What you ought to be ?
You should be scheming, intriguing,
Too clever by half -

The Russian
I have to hand it to you
For you managed to make me forget why I ever
agreed to this farce

Both
I don't know why I can't think of anything
I would rather do
Than be wasting my time
On mountains with you
