YOU AND I

Anatoly and Svetlana

Anatoly has just come from the Embassy and finds Svetlana in the hotel lobby.

ANATOLY
Svetlana....

SVETLANA
Anatoly.
Which player is the crazy one now?

ANATOLY
You don't know how....

SVETLANA
Is it because she can play? That she knows what you're thinking when you play. I don't know that. I've never known that. I just know what you're thinking when you're not playing....


YOU AND I

SVETLANA
YOU KNEW BETTER THAN ME
WHERE YOUR AMBITIONS WOULD TAKE US
I KNEW SOONER THAN YOU
THAT THOSE AMBITIONS WOULD BREAK US
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE ME
WHY SHOULD YOU BELIEVE ME?
I HELD YOU BACK
YOU AND YOUR DREAMS.

WHO NEEDS A DREAM
WHO NEEDS AMBITION
WHO'D BE THE FOOL
IN MY POSITION
YEAR AFTER YEAR
I'M STILL DENYING
ANYTHING'S CHANGED
ANYTHING'S DYING, BUT, THEN --

SVETLANA & ANATOLY
YOU AND I
WE'VE SEEN IT ALL
BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE
BUT WE WENT ON BELIEVING --

YOU AND I
WE'VE SEEN IT ALL
CHASING OUR HEARTS' DESIRE --
SVETLANA
BUT I GO ON PRETENDING
STORIES LIKE OURS
HAVE HAPPY ENDINGS.

(Suddenly a flash and the pair realise they are surrounded by a mass of reporters and photographers. Walter on a balcony. Svetlana runs off.)
