Family friend! A play for 4-5 people. Comedy and a little drama

STASIK (indignantly, holding his ear and writhing in pain): I get serious injuries, by your efforts! Albin, give me the peroxide, will you? You caught my ear with your fingernail. I slept to myself, I didn't touch anyone. So come and visit you.

Albina shakes her hands nervously, indignantly, and goes to get the peroxide. He returns with a tube of peroxide and cotton pads.

ALBINA (unscrewing the lid of the tube as she goes): Come on, I'll see what you have for injuries …

Stasik kindly provides his ear.

Albina handles it.

Stasik hisses, for he pinches the wound.

ALBINA (examining the ear): Normal. You'll live… unfortunately.

Albina sits down next to me on the sofa.

Stasik also sits down more freely and comfortably, looking at Albina with displeasure.

ALBINA (EXHALING): Gena gave you the keys, didn't he?

STASIK (annoyed): Who else?

ALBINA (reproachfully): What is it this time?

Stasik looks at Albina with resentment. He gets up from the sofa and walks silently into the kitchen.

Albina throws up her hands indignantly.

Stasik returns with a mug of tea, and a steering wheel in his hand. And not only in the hand, some of it is already in the mouth.

STASIK (chewing, reproachfully): Here! That's why they say that there is no female friendship! You are not able to sympathize, compassion is not your patrimony!

ALBINA (with sarcasm): Oh! Oh… the words are what I have gathered. Compassion, patrimony. Where does it come from? Stasik, I really don't recognize you…

Stasik eats a bagel with an appetite, washes it down with tea, while making the characteristic sounds of chomping and sucking.

ALBINA (calmly): No, it's all right. I'll find out. Why are you here, I ask??? What the hell are you doing sleeping on our couch, you pestilent one!

Stasik calmly finishes with a bagel, washes it down, puts the mug on the shelf, wipes his mouth with his hand, wipes his hands on his trousers, sits down on the sofa in sadness.

STASIK (in sadness): I have, by the way, an Albinochka, a big grief!

ALBINA (feigned): Yes, what are you?

STASIK (in sadness): Imagine.

ALBINA (feigned): I'm all ears…

Stasik lets out a tear, he can't speak directly from longing and deep experience.

Albina stands up indignantly, but does not move away.

ALBINA (seriously and somewhat sternly): Listen, my dear friend! Actor, big and small theaters. You give me here let's stop fooling around Roly. What can happen to you? You won't get fired from your job because you don't work. Your child won't get sick, because you don't have any children. Your wife will not leave you and will not change for lack of it. The bank will not take the apartment for non-payment of the mortgage, either, because you are not burdened with anything in this life.

Albina gradually raises her tone to the maximum display of her indignation.

ALBINA (sternly, loudly): No loans, no debts, no problems, no worries. What difficulties can you have, Stasik! What kind of grief are you trying to give me here?

STASIK (in sadness, seriously, quietly): Mom …

Albina stops, her breath is coming out of her throat.

ALBINA (apologetically, fearfully, sympathetically): Eleonora Vitoldovna?

STASIK (almost crying, seriously, quietly): Yes…

Albina sits down on the sofa and looks at Stasik sympathetically. Timidly sits down next to him, feels sorry for him, pats him sympathetically on the head, leaning his head on the shoulder of a desperate man in life.

ALBINA (in sadness): Such a good woman …

Stasik, nodding, nodding his head.

ALBINA (in sadness): I didn't know her for many years, but somehow I got into her. She's like that… A sympathetic, sweet woman. The soul is a person.

STASIK (almost crying, seriously, quietly): Yeah… a good one… responsive… The soul is a person.

Both are silent in a state of grief, Albina continues to slowly gently soothe Stasik on the head.

STASIK (strictly with condemnation): This good, kind woman told me today that she was tired of feeding me! She left me without lunch, we had an argument, and I left… here to you.

ALBINA (freezes in confusion): And … eeeeeeeeeeeee what?

STASIK (calmly): That's it. And here I am. Well, you asked me what I was doing here. Here, I explained.

Albina, realizing what is what, gives Stasik a weighty, capacious slap on the head.

STASIK (writhing): Ah! For what?

ALBINA (in restrained rage): Yes, for that! Think what you're saying, damned one. I already thought that your mother was worth it …

STASIK (not understanding):

ALBINA (waving her hand away): Oh, come on.

Albina exhales, takes a couple of steps back, tries to calm down.

The door to the apartment opens, Gena enters, Albina does not see him, turns to Stasik and spills out everything that she thinks about him.

ALBINA (on emotions): Parasite! Good-for-nothing! Ohlamon! Ballast! You worthless loser! Not a man!
