Laugh.
ANIA. Oh, those men.
VITALINA. Yes perishing, so much with them concerns, so much nerve-wracking. Oh, by the way, (jumps off the sofa and begins to gather hastily) I have a meeting with one such nerve-wracking.
ANIA. Yes? What time is the meeting?
VITALINA (looking at her watch). Fifteen minutes ago.
Vitalina makes a guilty, embarrassed face.
ANIA. Normally, (makes the go-ahead hand) women tend to be late.
VITALINA. Yes, but I still have twenty minutes to go. She was chattering. I'm sorry, Anna, I ran away.
Vitalina grabs a cloak on her shoulders, a bag and runs away.
Anya remains in the apartment alone.
Gets up from the couch, walks through the apartment, goes to the mirror.
ANIA. I'm a pretty nice girl. Or a woman? No, girl. Well, that is forty-two. I'm beautiful, fit, in shape, looking after myself. I'll give any kid a head start. In General, I'm a girl!
Makes fouette.
ANIA. Fans was the sea. Well, it may not be the sea, but it was. Yes, they were. Well, as fans say. Run… No, more like harassment. The knights then present died out already five to six hundred as. And those were " the last of the Mohicans." Now the courtship of a man is a couple of bland phrases, like: "Hello, how are you?", "Would you like to meet?"Then an hour in the cafe, because the more they are not enough. They are no listeners, and they have not really learned to talk, and there is nothing to talk about. Only and is read one the only thought – "as would you to dispose process, and desirable not too costly." Well, men…
Turns to the viewer.
ANIA. Well, you know them
Defiles in front of the mirror.
ANIA. Well, that with them take. And here is such here is suitors me periodically meet. Most importantly, as they pride themselves so highly valued and carefully carry, where to go. Wherever you spit, you'll hit the Prince.
She powders her nose, straightens her skirt, and heads to the grocery store.
2. SHOP
Shop. The usual bustle.
A ton of buzzing voices merging into a single background.
There are some exclamations, discussion of news, someone congratulates someone on something.
Konstantin is standing at the counter, looking at something on the phone.
Anna appears in the corridors of the store.
Examines critically environment (people).
ANIA. Nothing interesting, except shopping for me today, it seems, does not promise.
