Chess In Concert The Interview
Walter: [Spoken]
Tonight's final item is a Global scoop.
The former champion, our Freddie Trumper, talks to Anatoly Sergievsky,
The man who beat him a year ago,
And who is defending his title here right now in Bangkok, Thailand.
Let's get that Sergievsky family video lined up, okay?
Walter:
We all want times in our careers,
When we make a little history.
Receive the plaudits of our peers,
Perhaps that time is here right now for me.
Ah Anatoly, if I may, let me say right away,
You will be thrilled, because the other seat is filled
By a long-standing friend of yours.
Action!
Frederick:
Well, here we are face to face once again.
Anatoly:
By any standards, a bizarre reunion!
Frederick:
Is being homeless affecting your game?
Anatoly:
I wouldn't know, as I have a home in England.
Frederick:
No, by a home I mean real home--the place where your family is.
Anatoly: [Spoken]
England is my real home.
Frederick:
What are your latest political aims?
Anatoly:
What are you saying?
Frederick:
Your anti-Russian crusade, has it worked?
Anatoly:
I am no crusader.
Frederick:
What is your true motivation?
That is something we all want to know.
Anatoly: [Spoken]
You know damn well what my motivation is, okay?
Frederick:
Here we see a man under great pressure--
Two fights to fight, yet he could not look fresher.
Chess and politics, I take my hat off.
To any champion, who can pull that off?
I hear your second controls everything.
Anatoly:
Chess is her passion.
Frederick:
But her obsession is East versus West.
Anatoly:
Chess is her passion.
Frederick:
I know a little about her,
And she has got her own ax to grind.
Anatoly: [Spoken]
That is not true.
Frederick:
Aren't you concerned that why your wife is not here?
Anatoly:
I don't discuss my private life in public.
Frederick:
But don't you care that she is not by your side?
Anatoly:
I think I've had enough of this discussion!
Frederick:
Well, we've a little surprise.
We've got your wife on the video.
Walter: [Spoken]
Run the video!
Frederick:
Let her talk to you, give you her version--
How married life has changed, since your desertion.
Hey come back, my friend, we are only showing
Home movies--nothing more, where are you going?
Walter: [Spoken]
Great interview!
Molokov: [Spoken]
Bravo, Mr, de Courcy--Walter!
Walter: [Spoken]
Ah, Alexander!
Molokov: [Spoken]
I am glad that old film did the trick.
We are going to be able to help each other.
Walter: [Spoken]
Heartwarming international cooperation.
Molokov: [Spoken]
I have good news about Anatoly's lady friend.
Florence Vassy's father is alive.
Walter: [Spoken]
Really? Well, this is good news. Have you told her yet?
Molokov: [Spoken]
No, I was going to leave that pleasure to you.
However, my friend, there is one thing-
Walter: [Spoken]
Yes, of course there is.
Molokov: [Spoken]
I think Mr. Sergievsky must lose the match and come home.
Do you not agree?
Walter: [Spoken]
Sure, but there are others beside Vassy we wish to see come home.
Molokov: [Spoken]
That should not be a problem. Do we have a deal?
Walter: [Spoken]
We have a deal, and everybody wins.
Molokov: [Spoken]
Except Anatoly.
Walter: [Spoken]
But he gets the lovely Svetlana.
