MARVIN Have a little scotch WHIZZER sh**, I blew it Maybe you could show me where I fear I've lost my head MARVIN Do you want my help? WHIZZER No, I don't I can think it through myself MARVIN Start again. We've seen the worst WHIZZER I'll go first MARVIN Move a pawn WHIZZER No, sir MARVIN Move WHIZZER Where? MARVIN There WHIZZER Here? MARVIN Move a pawn WHIZZER Who? MARVIN Not the queen WHIZZER Jesus MARVIN AND WHIZZER Life's a sham and Everything is wrong We've examined Every more as we move along MARVIN Winning is everything to me WHIZZER Nothing is everything to me MARVIN Winning is everything to me WHIZZER Nothing is everything to me Except s**... MARVIN Move the pawn WHIZZER And money MARVIN Good first move WHIZZER Quite alright Take a turn MARVIN Thank you kindly WHIZZER Move the pawn Move the pawn Take my hand Play the game MARVIN God you're pretty WHIZZER Ah, more's the pity Since you need a man... MARVIN What? WHIZZER Who's brainy... MARVIN Or... MARVIN AND WHIZZER Witty MARVIN Move WHIZZER What should I do now? MARVIN Move WHIZZER Where? MARVIN There WHIZZER How should I behave myself?
