Alla. You think he got scared? I don’t believe it! No way!
Sumyatov. Don’t be such an idealist.
Alla. Okay! I bet you came here with a specific purpose and you are not going to give it up.
Sumyatov. With what purpose? Tell me! Don’t be shy!
Alla. To overthrow the idols – here is you purpose! You don’t even hide it.
Sumyatov. All or nobody. It would be just fair.
Alla. And the climber Victor Mancev is going to be the first victim of your noble intention?
Sumyatov. I guess, the victims are those whose fame he has appropriated.
Alla. Oh, you, journalists!
Sumyatov. Why are you so sarcastic?
Alla. Doesn’t life seem boring to you with such a way of thinking?
Sumyatov. I can’t understand you, Alla!
Alla. Bad for you.
Sumyatov. Sorry.
Alla. Did you get offended? Don’t be a kid.
Sumyatov. Well, Let me leave you and have a glass of tomato juice (Coming up the bar counter). One glass of bloody Mary, please!
Tomov. You have a beautiful wife, buddy. I get envy you!
Sumyatov. Please, don’t. We’ve just met.
Tomov. Lucky you! One can fall in love with such a lady at the first sight.
Sumyatov. And fall out of love after the first date.
Tomov. Whatever. You won’t get offended If I run after her?
Sumyatov. It’s up to you. (Leaves).
Tomov. Levan, two alcohol cocktails to the first meeting please!
Levan. Aren’t you crazy, dear?
Tomov. Don’t kill the rising fair feeling. Just as an exception! I will be your debtor till the end of my life, believe me!
Levan. Okay, but I am taking big risk. You know about the prohibition at our camp.
Tomov. I got you. I am not a fool. How much?
Levan. A double price.
Tomov. If only risk would always be paid like that where could we find cowards, Levan?
Levan. I am not insisting, dear.
Tomov. Take your coins, you the risky guy! (Coming up to Alla). Excuse me for intrusion…
Аllа. Don’t intrude and I won’t have to excuse you.
Tomov. What a strict lady!
Alla. I am a very expensive lady.
Tomov. That’s good. I don’t like cheap stuff.
Alla. Are you sure you can afford me?
Tomov. I have a fat wallet, don’t worry. Wouldn’t you mind to have a drink with me?
Alla. You’d better start with it. To what are we going to have a drink?
Tomov. To you, my lady!
Alla. It’s trite.
Tomov. Then…
Alla. Don’t strain yourself. I have an idea. Let’s drink to the real men, that they would still exist in our world!
