Mountain Duet

Florence This is the one situation i wanted most to avoid Nothing i say will convince him this 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 straightforward 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 he 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 and soon He'll go - nobody's on nobody's side.

The russian Listen,

i hate to break up the mood Get to the point,

begin the begin 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 am 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've 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
