FLORENCE

You want to lose your only friend?

Well keep it up, you're doing fine

Why this humiliation?

Why treat me like a fool?

I've taken shit for seven years

And I won't take it anymore.



THE AMERICAN

I'm only teasing Soviets

With gentle bonhomie

And you've a better reason to be anti-them than me



FLORENCE

There's a time and there's a place.



THE AMERICAN

Is this the girl always said

She wants to know the truth?



FLORENCE

There's a time and there's a place...



CHOIR (In background throughout entire sequence)

1956--Budapest is rising

1956--Budapest is fighting

1956--Budapest is falling

1956--Budapest is dying



THE AMERICAN

I'd have thought you'd support

Any attack on these people

On the people who ran

Mindlessly over your childhood

Don't let them fool you for

Thirty years on they're the same

They see chess as a war

Playing with pawns just like Poland

If you walk out on me

They will have won the first battle

Wouldn't your father

Have begged you to stay in the game?



FLORENCE

He would--but he didn't know you

He'd loathe your behavior and so do I--

Why'd you have to do this to me?
