| [00:06.71] | {REPORTER #1} |
| [00:06.93] | Does your opponent deserve such abuse? |
| [00:09.46] | {FREDDIE, spoken} |
| [00:09.65] | All Soviets deserve abuse |
| [00:12.62] | {REPORTER #2} |
| [00:12.77] | But even you must concede he can play |
| [00:15.25] | {FREDDIE, spoken} |
| [00:15.39] | Sure, he's the best red on the circuit. I'll give him that |
| [00:18.94] | {REPORTER #3} |
| [00:19.09] | He hasn't lost for a long time |
| [00:21.04] | He could be a tough nut to crack |
| [00:23.12] | {FREDDIE, spoken} |
| [00:23.30] | Listen, if he gets one game off me, it's because I want to keep press interest going |
| [00:26.73] | {REPORTERS} |
| [00:26.87] | Why do you persist with vicious attacks |
| [00:28.27] | Ungracious remarks re opponents? |
| [00:30.12] | It smacks of a lack of conviction |
| [00:31.78] | Admit you're under duress |
| [00:33.42] | And that your only skill left |
| [00:34.73] | Is for money, not chess |
| [00:36.01] | If Soviet life's as grim as you claim |
| [00:37.73] | Then how come their boys are so good at the game? |
| [00:39.74] | Though you swear the American dream is clearly the best |
| [00:42.57] | You're no advertisement for life and times in the West |
| [00:48.52] | {REPORTER #4} |
| [00:48.83] | Why did you risk the whole match breaking down? |
| [00:51.37] | {FREDDIE, spoken} |
| [00:51.54] | I don't know what you're saying. What are you implying? |
| [00:55.02] | {REPORTER #5} |
| [00:55.17] | All your outrageous demands, your conceit |
| [00:57.91] | {FREDDIE, spoken} |
| [00:58.07] | I don't see anything outrageous about demanding what I'm worth |
| [01:01.31] | {REPORTER #6} |
| [01:01.49] | They pay all that you ask for |
| [01:03.12] | And then you demand even more |
| [01:05.35] | {FREDDIE, spoken} |
| [01:05.50] | I am the reason you're all here. Who had heard of Sergievsky? |
| [01:07.58] | {REPORTERS} |
| [01:08.12] | It's hard to believe |
| [01:11.00] | What we're reporting |
| [01:13.87] | Why so disparaging? |
| [01:17.08] | Not very sporting |
| [01:19.74] | {FREDDIE, spoken} |
| [01:20.17] | Are the Communists sporting? My God! |
| [01:20.93] | {REPORTERS} |
| [01:21.59] | Tell all this to the |
| [01:23.67] | United Nations |
| [01:26.52] | Are you an asset to |
| [01:29.65] | East-West relations? |
| [01:34.28] | {FREDDIE, spoken} |
| [01:34.47] | What is this? What have the Russians ever done for East-West relations? |
| [01:38.43] | Have you people any serious questions? |
| [01:40.99] | {REPORTER #7} |
| [01:41.20] | Will you be quitting for good if you lose? |
| [01:44.19] | {Freddie does not respond} |
| [01:46.97] | {REPORTER #8} |
| [01:47.21] | How come your second's a girl, lover boy? |
| [01:50.79] | {FREDDIE, spoken} |
| [01:51.12] | What did you say? |
| [01:53.98] | {REPORTER #8} |
| [01:54.21] | How come your second's a girl, lover boy? |
| [01:57.93] | {Freddie storms out, pushing Reporter #8 out of his way} |
| [02:00.91] | {REPORTERS} |
| [02:01.36] | Well, what did I say? He's out of his tree |
| [02:03.31] | He's finally flipped and between you and me |
| [02:05.22] | He's no hope of retaining his crown in his frame of mind |
| [02:08.70] | In fact, he shouldn't have come here, he should have resigned |
| [02:11.07] | {FLORENCE, overlapping with Reporters above and below} |
| [02:11.36] | Smile, you got your first exclusive story |
| [02:17.32] | Now you can bask in his reflected glory |
| [02:24.28] | “Naked, unprovoked Yankee Aggression!” |
| [02:29.62] | Oh, what a credit to your great profession! |
| [02:36.19] | {REPORTERS, overlapping and repeatedly} |
| [02:36.77] | If he is in this frame of mind |
| [02:37.25] | He should be dumped |
| [02:37.49] | He should be resigned |
| [02:37.94] | Well, what did I say? He's out of his mind |
| [02:38.68] | He's finally flipped, he should have resigned |
