I KNOW HIM SO WELL





FLORENCE

Svetlana?



SVETLANA

Florence



FLORENCE

I don't know what to say



SVETLANA

There is nothing. I have seen what he really needs and I can't give that to him - you can



FLORENCE

You don't understand. What he really needs is you and his family -



Nothing is so good it lasts eternally

Perfect situations must go wrong

But this has never yet prevented me

Wanting far too much for far too long

Looking back I could have played it differently

Won a few more moments, who can tell?

But it took time to understand the man

Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?



SVETLANA

Oh so good



FLORENCE

Wasn't he fine?



SVETLANA

Oh so fine



FLORENCE

Isn't it madness?



BOTH

He can't be mine?



FLORENCE

But in the end he needs a little bit more than me

More security



SVETLANA

He needs his fantasy and freedom



FLORENCE

I know him so well



SVETLANA

No one in your life is with you constantly

No one is completely on your side

And though I move my world to be with him

Still the gap between us is too wide

Looking back I could have played it differently



FLORENCE

Looking back I could have played it differently



SVETLANA

Learned about the man before I fell



FLORENCE

I was just a little careless maybe



SVETLANA

But I was ever so much younger then



FLORENCE

Now at least I know him well



SVETLANA

Now at least



BOTH

I know I know him well



SVETLANA

Wasn't it good?



FLORENCE

Oh so good



SVETLANA

Wasn't he fine?



FLORENCE

Oh so fine



SVETLANA

Isn't it madness



BOTH

He won't be mine?

Didn't I know How it would go?

If I knew from the start

Why am I falling apart?



SVETLANA

Wasn't it good?

Wasn't he fine



FLORENCE

Isn't it madness



BOTH

He won't be mine?



FLORENCE

Isn't it madness



BOTH

He won't be mine?



FLORENCE

But in the end he needs a little bit more than me -

More security



SVETLANA

He needs his fantasy and freedom



FLORENCE

I know him so well



SVETLANA

It took time to understand him



BOTH

I know him so well
