Florence
Well we cant complain that youve been ignored by the press.
Freddie
What they say? What they say?
Florence
Theyre not to polite
Freddie
They say Im a shit?
Florence
Well, yes. They pulled you to pieces. In five different languages. The Times You thrive on unpleasantness. Speaks French
Freddie
I dont believe that they cant see my game. Im like that tennis player, whats his name? They love to hate me and for us, thats dollars.
Florence
Speaks Russian
Freddie
Hey, look theres a piece that some idiots written on you. Florence Vassey, petite, Hungarian-born personal assistant. His gentle companion- if they only knew!
Florence
What do you mean? Ive always been gentle with you, Freddie!
Both
She stands by her champion.
Freddie
I like this.
Both
Whose demands are so infantile
Freddie
I dont like this.
Florence
If you dont like it then its up to you. They like the Russian they could like you, too.
Freddie
Commie newspapers! Of course the bastards all support the Russians.
Florence
But Sergievsky seems a sweet opponent. So why do you abuse him all the time? Freddie, I love you very much, but just for once, dont go on about the Russians at the press conference, okay?
