Talking Chess
This is the one situation
I wanted most to avoid
Then what on earth are you doing?
You could be better employed
No, please hear me out, I think I can help
If it is about Florence, I'm warning you!
No, it is not about her, your wife or your kids
Or money, or Walter, or Molokov
What the hell is it?
I want to talk chess!
Chess?
Something I've noticed in Viigand
It is his King's Indian Defense
One of the lines he's been trying
Doesn't completely make sense
I — I don't understand
I told you, his King's Indian—
No, I don't understand why you are helping me
Because I love chess
Does nobody else?
Jesus! Sometimes I think I am the only one
How can you let mediocrity win?
What about Florence's father?
My wife and my children?
You've let them all down already
Win or betray yourself too
You don't want those shits to get what they want
They'll get what they want, they always do
No, they won't if you win
Be true to the game
The one thing you know you can count upon
What about Florence?
The one thing is chess!
Chess
"How can you let mediocrity win? You have one chance left. Win for chess! You were five-one up, now it's five all. Get a grip!"
