He, She and I. Play for 3 people

GELYA: Volodya, I am so happy that I have you… With you, I finally learned what it means to be a girl… woman, that means love…

VLADIMIR: and be loved…

GEL: AND be loved… Sure.

Vladimir kisses Gele's hand.

Gelya takes out her purse, puts it on the table.

GELA: Look what I brought.

She pulls a framed photograph out of her purse. In the photo, Gel and Vladimir are somewhere in the Park.

Vladimir carefully takes the photo.

VLADIMIR (not too delighted): are We with you? Hold on… from where? How?

GELYA: this photo was taken a year ago, when we were just starting to meet. Look at the confused looks we have here. It is immediately clear that none of us has yet decided whether to continue the relationship or not. You look completely different now…

VLADIMIR: I don't remember that… And how are you… we're here together? Who was the photographer?

GEL: This photo came out as if by accident. A friend saw us in the Park and took a picture, then to show me as compromising evidence and arrange an interrogation "de facto"…

VLADIMIR: What did you tell her?

GELYA: I said that I think I met the man of my dreams. That everything is so timid, tender and beautiful, that it probably does not happen and that it probably all seems to me.

Vladimir attentively listens, disapprovingly looks at a photo.

GELYA: I really never met such men as you. And now we've been together a year, and I still feel shy when I meet you, like I'm seventeen and going on my first date. So cool…

VLADIMIR: a photo…

GEL: (interrupts): Photo I asked to throw me, kept it in a file. And the other day I printed it out, put it in a frame. Today I decided to show it to you. Lovely, isn't it?

VLADIMIR (trying not to show his disapproval): Yeah… suddenly. So we were caught…

GELYA: Yes throw, what the difference who that???? and that will think. The main thing is that we are together.

VLADIMIR: Yes, Yes… of course we're together.

There is a slight pause.

VLADIMIR: did you tell her?

GELYA: That you are married? Not right away. About a couple of months.
