Mancev. You’d better sleep for a while, Oleg.

Tomov. You know that I am not a coward!

Mancev. I know.

Tomov. Then why are they saying that? I am ready to go to the mountains right away!

Mancev. Okay, but get some sleep at first.

Tomov. Just give me a wink and I will go through fire and water for you!

Sumyatov. And through the abyss?

Mancev. One more word and you will have to deal with me this time!

Levan. Let’s go dear.

Tomov. Levan, my throat is burning. I’d rather take a glass to drink out the offense.

Levan. Let’s go, let’s go dear, it’s all right, believe me.

Tomov. I do believe you, Levan, only you!

Levan and Oleg Tomov leave.

Mancev. You shouldn’t have said that.

Sumyatov. Sorry, I got exited.

Alla. But he is a coward. Shameless and mean coward!

Mancev. It’s not a reason for insulting him. Especially if you are mistaken.

Sumyatov. I also have such impression of him. He is afraid of mountains.

Mancev. You think that only heroes climb the mountains? There are a number of normal people there.

Sumyatov. You are speaking enigmatically again.

Манцев. No enigmas! He is a person just like any of us. He is neither worse nor better.

Sumyatov. You have a pretty unflattering opinion about people.

Mancev. My opinion of them is the one they deserve. Like it or not.

Alla. In that case I don’t see any abnormal person around me. All are disgracefully normal.

Mancev. Are you sure?

Alla. All of you are cowards and babbles. People are perishing in the mountains! And you are gabbing like scolds here instead of rushing to rescue them.

Mancev. You are right.

Sumyatov. Don’t blame her. Her husband is among them.

Mancev. I’ve figured it out.

Alla. I am going to the mountains myself. And I wish you to be in good relationship with your conscious!

Аlla Bokova leaves. Levan enters.

Levan. He got asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

Mancev. That’s good. One trouble less.

Sumyatov. It’s a crazy day today. Is it going to finish or not?

Mancev. At least half a day has passed already.

Levan. Hey, are you going to have lunch or not?

Mancev. I can’t eat a morsel.

Sumyatov. Neither can I.

Levan. Maybe some barbeque meat? It’s a tickle of the plate! And not expensive at all. Hey, what kind of people you are!

Anna and Vasil Korobko enter.

Anna. Hi everybody! Oh, I am so tired. I am dropping with fatigue.

Sumyatov. Is it easier to walk in the mountains than in the streets?

Anna. Much easier. Why are you so sad? Has something happened while we were out?

Mancev. Nothing. What about you?

Vasil. Not much.

Levan. Are you going to have lunch?

Anna. I don’t know… What do you have today?

Levan. Barbeque meat, it’s yummy!

Anna. Vasil, what do you think?

Vasil. No barbeque!
