Tomov. Finally, you deigned to notice me!
Alla. Sorry, I am busy now.
Tomov. (Singing). «We live in a city of brothers love. We are noticed until we interfere».
Alla. Why are you here?
Tomov. Where should I be?
Alla. In the mountains! You are a mountaineer.
Tomov. So what? Mountaineers dwell not only in the mountains.
Alla. You must save him!
Томов. Who?
Alla. My husband!
Tomov. Oh, don’t tell me about it. “Husband” sounds disgusting…
Alla. But yesterday you were going to go!
Tomov. Where? You mean to wipe nose to this guy? I am always ready!
Alla. To the mountains!
Tomov. I was dead drunk.
Alla. You are drunk now!
Tomov. But now I think better. Go to the mountains yourself if you need it so much. I am fed up with this romantic stuff.
Sumyatov. And you, what do you need?
Томов. Vodka! Chicks!! Seaside!!! I do have all this, don’t worry.
Alla. You are a coward!
Tomov. Last night you had different opinion. Should I remind you what exactly?
Sumyatov. But this is your real chance, do you understand it?
Tomov. Chance… What chance?
Sumyatov. To become equal to Mancev. He saved you – you will save many.
Tomov. There are enough volunteers without me there. I am giving way!
Sumyatov. And what about fame passion? Doesn’t it rankle in you?
Tomov. And in you?
Sumyatov. I am an average person. I don’t conquer the mountain peaks, don’t cross the oceans, don’t fly to the stars. So, I am ensured from this.
Tomov. You pretend to be such a mediocrity! As for me I don’t need this fame at all. This is absolutely useless thing. .
Sumyatov. One can neither sleep with it nor freshen the nip, right?
Tomov. Exactly! There are only troubles with this fame.
Алла. You are such a rascal!
Tomov. It’s better to be a rascal rather than a corpse. Remember it baby.
Sumyatov. I got you now. You would rather share the fame with Mancev but with a certain condition.
Tomov. Are you gonna shut up yourself or would I help you?
Sumyatov. And this condition is that fame wouldn’t require any effort from you. You have spent all your physical and spiritual energy on uncorking bottles.
Tomov. You said all? Come on, you asshole! Let’s see all energy or not!
Alla. Oleg! (Grabbing him).
Tomov. Come on I told you!
Sumyatov. Don’t shout! You are going to tear your vocal cords. How will you scare people then?
Alla. Oh, keep your mouth shut!
Tomov. I will screw you up!..
Victor Mancev and Levan come in.
Levan. His things are in the room. Hey, where did he go?
Mancev. Here he is!
Levan. Hey, dear! Why are you fighting with a woman? Aren’t you a man?
Mancev. Oleg, don’t be a fool!
Sumyatov. Let him go!
Mancev. Keep silent, you Anika the Warrior.
Tomov. Vitya, I wish you heard how they were screwing me up!
