Alla. Good job. As soon as a man suspect his wife of cheating… he starts flying over her like a bumblebee over a flower drinking a nectar from her lips even if he refused from it just yesterday.

Sumyatov. Oh, I guess I got you! You came here to provoke a jealous instinct in your husband, right?

Alla. What else can I do?

Sumyatov. Indeed! A goal shall be reached by all means, right?

Alla. I want to get my husband back to the family and for this sake I am ready for all.

Sumyatov. Has he run away from you? It seems to me you’ve done this.

Alla. This is just seemingly. Should I consider a man who shows up at home late at night, has dinner and the next moment disappears at the bedroom terribly snoring to be my husband!? Oh, he gets so tired at his work!

Sumyatov. But if it has been always like that…

Alla. Oh, God what are you talking about?

Sumyatov. Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.

Alla. It started when Pavel was appointed a chief of the radio station. He has changed drastically since that. He became reserved and silent.

Levan enters.

Sumyatov. Good morning Levan!

Levan. Hi dear! Aren’t you hungry, eh? Would you like some cakes?

Sumyatov. No, thanks for nothing … Alla, I am sorry, but I really have no time.

Alla. Oh, really?! I wonder, why I got so expansive with you?

Sumyatov. I have no idea.

Alla. You seem to be trustworthy. Such men are dangerous.

Sumyatov. Don’t worry, I won’t get you any harm.

Alla. I don’t care. Hey there, what’s your name?

Levan. Levan.

Alla. Listen, Levan, I’d like to get to the city. What is a shuttle schedule?

Levan. It leaves in five minutes.

Alla. What about the next one?

Levan. Only in the evening.

Alla. What should I do? I am going to get bored to death here.

Levan. You still can get there in time. It’s quite close. Want me to see you off?

Alla. No, thanks, I know where it is. Okay, I really might get in time. Oh, whatever… Bye!

Sumyatov. Have fun there!

Alla Bokova leaves. She runs into Victor Mancev at the doorway.

Mancev. Excuse me… What’s the matter with her, Levan?

Levan. Why are you asking me?!

Mancev. You might be the reason. Good morning!

Sumyatov. Morning.

Mancev. Have you got the mail today?

Levan. No, dear.

Mancev. Didn’t you forget? I am expecting.

Levan. Sure I remember.

Mancev. So, there wasn’t. And it is not going to be… Oh, no, it can’t be so..

Levan. What are you talking about my friend?

Mancev. Oh, just nothing. The weather is fine since early morning, isn’t it?

Sumyatov. You are a nice observer as usual.

Mancev. Please, don’t exaggerate. Aren’t you get offended on me yesterday?

Sumyatov. Not at all. Why should I?

Mancev. I really was too bally sleepy.

Sumyatov. I hope you had good sleep.

Mancev. Not bad, thanks. Do you want to get back own?

Sumyatov. How?

Mancev. To play chess. I suggest a shotgun game. Just ten minutes.

Sumyatov. To take a victory over Victor Mancev himself! It’s temping.
