Nura (enters): Hi, Klava, may I?
Klava: Nyurochka, hello, how good of you to come, I miss you! (Returns an takes the cigarette)
Nura: Hello, dear! (Climbs kissing)
Klava: (Sucks the cigarette) already out..
Nura: Do you have a cigarette for me?.. (both sit down and smoke) Do you know, Vaska was yesterday with me!..
Klava: Topik left because of the smoke..
Nura: Some men also dislike smoke. Vaska ...
Klava: Animals immediately feel ...
Nura: I was sad that this time ...
Klava: Do you remember, I thought he was sick ...
Nura: And before, Vaska was so nice ...
Klava: Topik just hiding from the smoke ...
Nura: He probably just walking somewhere.
Klava: Here's an ashtray. (Pushes the ache plate.)
Nura: Vaska carouse somewhere, and then comes to me.
Klava: Do not drop ache to the floor.
Nura: And this time, he began to tell about his chicks, and I immediately got sick. I was cold.
Klava: Topik and I now only twice a day go out..
Nura: But he liked me anyway.
Klava: He bears everything - we not a walk in the afternoon, and also the smoke..
Nura: Still, he loves me.
Klava: Almost like a man.
Nura: Although, of course, what's the point when no pleasure?
Klava: Do you want some tea?
Nura: Wait, I finish. And today he called ...
Klava: Do you remember, Topik's hair were so ugly...
Nura: And I asked him, "Do you really want to see me?"
Klava: And now, you may see, how smooth is he...
Nura: He paused, and turned out that we are tired of each other ...
Klava: Pleasure to see ...
Nura: Yes, sometimes I can only look at it - and enjoy it.
Klava (stands up, takes the teapot and goes to the kitchen behind the scenes): Ye, my dear doggy, ran away from the smoke, poor ...
Nura (gets up and walks after Klava): So I do not know if now I call him..
Klava (from the kitchen): Should I also cook some potatoes for tea?
