[00:06.09]Oh, my dear how boring
[00:07.49]He's defecting
[00:08.83]Just like all the others
[00:10.19]He's expecting
[00:11.71]Us to be impressed
[00:12.77]With what he's done here
[00:14.62]But he hasn't stopped
[00:15.97]To think about the paperwork
[00:17.33]His gesture causes--
[00:18.23]We've an embassy to run here
[00:19.73]If these people can't strike
[00:21.04]Blows for freedom
[00:22.55]With a valid visa
[00:23.94]We don't need 'em
[00:25.53]If we seem offhand
[00:26.64]Then please remember
[00:28.48]This is nothing very special
[00:30.26]He's the fourth we've had
[00:31.26]Since last November
[00:32.16]Who do these foreign Chappies think they are?
[00:35.74]{OFFICIAL #1}
[00:36.04]And when he's safely in the West
[00:40.85]He'll be the subject to discuss
[00:42.55]The media will lionize him
[00:44.11]Fame and fortune plus
[00:45.51]{EMBASSY OFFICIALS}
[00:45.72]No-one will recall
[00:46.78]It's thanks to us
[00:50.14]{OFFICIAL #1, spoken}
[00:50.27]You have a wife?
[00:51.59]{ANATOLY, spoken}
[00:51.67]Yes
[00:52.52]{OFFICIAL #3, spoken}
[00:52.55]You have two children?
[00:54.11]{ANATOLY, spoken}
[00:54.24]Yes
[00:54.81]{OFFICIAL #2, spoken}
[00:55.03]And they're not coming with you?
[00:56.34]{ANATOLY, spoken}
[00:56.51]No, not for the moment
[00:57.78]{OFFICIAL #4, spoken}
[00:57.98]You play chess. You are good at it?
[01:00.16]{OFFICIAL #3 whispers in #4's ear}
[01:01.66]{OFFICIAL #4, spoken}
[01:01.86]Oh. I hear you're world champion
[01:04.69]{ANATOLY, spoken}
[01:04.89]Since yesterday
[01:05.97]{EMBASSY OFFICIALS, spoken}
[01:06.63]That's still good
[01:09.15](sung)
[01:09.98]Have you an appointment
[01:11.66]With the consul?
[01:13.20]If you don't we know
[01:14.24]What his response'll be
[01:16.40]He will not see you--
[01:17.70]With respect it buggers up
[01:19.25]His very taxing schedule
[01:21.50]Pushing peace and understanding
[01:22.93]Let us hope this won't affect it
[01:24.64]Far too many jokers cross the border
[01:29.02]Not a single document in order
[01:32.05]Russia must be empty
[01:33.47]Though we're all for
[01:35.06]Basic human rights
[01:37.28]It makes you wonder
[01:37.64]What they built the Berlin Wall for--
[01:39.12]Who do these foreign Chappies think they are?
[01:42.45]And when you've
[01:46.35]Filled in all the forms
[01:47.49]And been passed clear of all disease
[01:49.35]Debriefed, debugged
[01:50.32]Dedrugged, disarmed
[01:50.95]And disinfected, please
[01:52.62]Don't forget the guys
[01:53.71]Who cut your keys
