Play for 6 people. Once two new year's eve… - Николай Владимирович Лакутин
Nora shakes her head skeptically as she listens to her friend, looks at her as if she's a fool, but doesn't try to convince her otherwise.
Alina speaks out, leaves the imposing form of arrangement on the sofa, sits down more modestly and somehow begins to analyze the latest events dubiously.
ALINA (doubtful): Although… you know, today he called me in a strange, all-out way. It's kind of twisted. He interrogated me on the phone. What I do there, what I watch… So strange. When I put the phone down, I did… In General, I do not understand why he has all these suspicions?
NORA (calmly): Well… that's right.
ALINA (not understanding): What is correct?
NORA (calmly): Well, you're a little girl, by God. Don't you know the nature of jealousy? Where does it come from? Yes, from the experience of personal adventures! Not from the TV series, I assure you.
ALINA (not believing): Yes well…
NORA (calmly): So much for that… When a person is faithful to his partner, he does not even think about something like this. In his, let's say scientifically, holographic maps of the world description, there is simply no such component as treason. Hence there is no jealousy. Well, when jealousy appears – it is first of all a question to the bearer of this very jealousy. Why was there such a seed in him? No, of course, if you periodically return home at night with a strange smell of men's perfume, a Hickey on your neck and tousled hair – then the question is relevant.
Alina shakes her head, trying on the description.
NORA (calmly): Well, if from your side everything is more or less calm, measured, quiet, without obvious reasons for doubt, then … here!
ALINA (not understanding): What … here?
Nora looks at Alina with a beatific smile.
NORA (quietly): Yes, do so… thinking out loud. Okay, I'm sorry, I've already ordered a taxi, we're about to…
Nora pulls out her cell phone and looks at it.
NORA (calmly): Oh, I have a white Skoda waiting for me.
ALINA (positive): Yes, of course. See you later!
NORA (skeptical): hi Sena. Bye!
Nora gets up, takes her bags, and leaves.
Alina looks after her thoughtfully.
SCENE 4 SUSANNA'S APARTMENT
Music.
Dim lighting.
Susanna in an attractive form is bustling around the apartment, listening to music, dancing. Wipes the dust, corrects everything, ennobles, looks around the room with the master's eyes, goes to the kitchen, returns to the room, brings the cake with burning candles, puts it on the table. He moves back, touching, biting his index finger thoughtfully.
The doorbell rings!
Susanna runs to open it.
Lenya enters in his ski suit, and Susanna runs after him, trying to hug and caress him on the run, but Lenya's mood is not romantic at all.
LENYA (in a businesslike way, not too gently, seeing the cake on the table): Oh, what is it you have? It's not your birthday, is it?
SUSANNA (affectionately): that's right. Today we have another reason to spend a pleasant memorable evening.
LENYA (tries to say about the upcoming separation): Susanna, my dear, I have come to tell you that…
Susanna closes Leni's mouth with a sudden kiss on the lips, thus preventing Him from finishing.
SUSANNA (gently, moving away from the kiss): Then tell me, honey, it's our anniversary! Five years together, dear! Can you imagine? Five years!
Susanna screams with puppy delight and throws her arms around Leni's neck.
SUSANNA (softly, softly): for Five years I've loved you like crazy. And I don't hesitate to talk about it again and again! Lenka… You're so cool.
Susanna lets go of her hug.
SUSANNA (gently, helping to undress): Undress quickly, why are you standing there like a statue? Stunned, from such news Yes? I'm in shock myself! You and I have never celebrated our anniversaries, somehow we all missed the date. Then you are away, then I (ponders, not naturally truthful)… on mission. So year after year… you can imagine… Five years, Lenya! Five!
Susanna screams again with her happy squeak and hugs Lenya again.
LENYA (in confusion): Listen, well… Yes… I admit that I am somewhat shocked by this news. I thought… you and I …
SUSANNA (interrupts): Yes, just yesterday!
LENYA (in confusion): Well, Yes…
SUSANNA (excited, playful, pulling off Leni's jacket): Well, get undressed, honey, get undressed…
Lenya reluctantly undresses, sadly leaving the plan somewhere in the background of forgotten emergencies.
Susanna giggles, her playful mood gradually, slowly, but surely begins to be transmitted to Lena.
Here is Lenya, too, already begins to let go of some pinching, smiles and little pranks. And now he is fully introduced to the rules of the game set by Susanna.
Music.
Anniversaries joyfully and cheerfully rush around the table, catching up with each other. They feed each other cake, have fun…
ZTM.
SCENE 5 AT THE ENTRANCE
Night.
Twilight.
Fussing and looking around, Lenya quickly runs across the stage, buttoning up his ski suit for a run.
But suddenly he is stopped by the ringing voice of a friend from the darkness.
SEMYON (seriously, loudly, reproachfully): So-so!
Semyon enters the stage from the same place where Lenya ran out.
Lenya turns around, looks at her friend with an intricate face, and tries to think of something to lie about.
Semyon raises the binoculars in his hand and flaunts them in front of his friend.
SEMYON (loudly,
