Marvin teaches Whizzer to play chess, but bitterness and ill feelings boil over “The Chess Game” until the fight to end all fights breaks out between the two, and they break up. Meanwhile, Trina and Mendel move in together and start “Making a Home.” As he packs, Whizzer reflects on “The Games I Play” with his own heart, and he finally concludes that he does not love Marvin. Trina and Mendel send out wedding invitations, and Marvin loses all control. Confronting Trina, he incoherently accuses her of trying to ruin his life, finally breaking down in rage and slapping her (“Marvin Hits Trina”). Shocked by his actions, both reflect that “I Never Wanted to Love You,” a sentiment Whizzer repeats to Marvin and Marvin repeats to Jason and Whizzer. Marvin is finished with Whizzer and his relationship with Trina is in tatters, but he can at least salvage his relationship with Jason, who, to his (Jason’s) immense relief, has just discovered women. Marvin sits down Jason for a talk, “Father to Son,” and tells him that he loves him and no matter what kind of man Jason turns out to be, Marvin will always be there for him. MUSICAL NUMBERS 1.
