Idina Menzel
Mountain Duet
[FLORENCE]
This is the one situation
I wanted most to avoid
Nothing I say will convince him
This isn't a trick
[ANATOLY]
A drink on clear moonlit night--
I relax, she smiles
There's something peculiar going on
[FLORENCE]
So through no fault of my own
I'm stuck here to carry the can
Embarrassed, uncertain, marooned
[ANATOLY]
Now she can't be working for them--
I mean us--
She seems to know what she's doing
But where is he?
[FLORENCE]
He has to turn up
He wanted this meeting
Didn't he?
[ANATOLY]
Maybe he's scared
But he didn't seem scared
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
[ANATOLY]
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
Maybe I'm on nobody's side!
[ANATOLY]
Listen, I hate to break up the mood
Get to the point, begin the beguine
Haven't you noticed we are a protagonist short
In this idyllic, well-produced scene?
[FLORENCE]
He couldn't wait
To join you up here
Maybe he walked--
Cable cars scare him
[ANATOLY]
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
[ANATOLY]
My dear opponent--
I really can't imagine why
[FLORENCE]
So I am not dangerous then?
What a shame[ANATOLY]
No, you're not dangerous
Who could think that of you?
[FLORENCE]
You--[BOTH]
You are so strange
Why can't you be
What you ought to be?
You should be scheming
Intriguing
Too clever by half!
[ANATOLY]
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
[FREDDIE, entering the scene]
Who'd ever think it?
Such a very pretty setting
Tell me what's the betting
Very pretty plotting, too
No matter--
I've done all your work for you
[FLORENCE, spoken]
Freddie
[FREDDIE]
Who'd ever guess it?
Daughter in collaboration
With the very nation
Gave her father third degree
Where's Daddy
Dead or in the KGB?
(spoken)
While my second has been curling up with my opponent, I have agreed to new terms with Global Television, which in short means more money-- for you as well, but that can't be helped. Therefore, this meeting is unnecessary. The match can continue and we don't have to be friends
