THE AMERICAN   Communist, democrat   An intriguing collusion   Fair exchange--tit for tat   Comradeship in profusion   And the appeal, partner   Of this deal, partner   Is we all stand to win   You and me, the lady also   Don't break her heart partner   Just be smart, partner   Let her think that her past   Is as pure as snow in Moscow   Thank God we're so civilized   And our word can be our bond   We can turn this into friendship for life   And beyond--      THE RUSSIAN   Refugee, total shit   Is how I've always seen us   Not a help you'll admit   To agreement between us   There's no deal, partner   Who's your real partner?   Could there be just a chance   That you've got some heavy clients?      THE AMERICAN (and voice of MOLOKOV)   That's not true, partner   How could you, partner   Think I'd want to pursue   Any deal but our own alliance?   (on his own)   How can you only think   Of your selfish ambition?   And not of her position?   Or you'd rather perhaps   See her world collapse?   For a tin pot competition!      THE RUSSIAN   There's no deal      THE AMERICAN (to FLORENCE)   Silly boy, woman who   He should not have let walk out   There's no hitch that we two   Can't untangle or talk out   And the appeal, partner   Of this deal, partner   Is we both stand to win   We'll bring back the golden era   Stick with me, honey   Leave him be, honey   In return I know who'll   Tell you all they know in Moscow      FLORENCE   Are you sick? Are you mad?   You still don't understand why I loathe you, why I left you?      FLORENCE AND THE RUSSIAN   Who'd ever think it?   Such a squalid little ending   Watching him descending   Just as far as he can go   I'm learning things I didn't want to know   Who'd ever guess it?   This would be the situation   One more complication   Should be neither here nor there   I wish I had it in me not to care      THE RUSSIAN   Let him spill out his hate   Till he knows he's deserted      FLORENCE AND THE RUSSIAN   There's no point wasting time   Preaching to the perverted
