Eleanor is thrilled, confused.
Eleanor (playfully). Come on…
Kostya (confidently). So don't tell me about fat aunts. Yes and… don't tell me about any of them at all. I love you. And what is there, where and from whom– I don't care.
Eleanor (mleya). Really?
Kostya (crossing himself). That's the cross!
Eleanor greedily grabs Kostya in her arms and, covering herself, begins to kiss him.
Partial blackout.
Musical lyrical background.
Scene 2. As always, not at the right time.
The music of the first scene subsides.
Eleanor and Kostya are trying in some not very clever way to move on to more decisive actions, logically following from everything that is happening above, but they are interrupted by Violetta's nasty voice.
Violetta (skeptically). Ding-ding…
Violetta enters.
Eleanor and Kostya discontentedly return to a decently seated position, look at the guest.
Violetta (not really worrying about her inappropriateness). Guys, really, when will you fix the bell?
Eleanor (displeased). Yes, Kostya fixed it a year ago. And you still won't learn how to use it!
Violetta (including the fool). And.. yes? About how. I didn't know. Mechanically, therefore, I entered. Well…, I will know now. And then… why should I call, on the other hand.
Violetta turns the keys to the door in her hand.
Eleanor (displeased). But by the way! Why do you have the keys to our house? I don't have the keys to your house, and mind you, I've never allowed myself to come to visit you without an invitation. And for some reason you allow yourself to do this, moreover, quite often.
Violetta (calmly, confidently). Everything is right. I'm not your sister, but Kostya. What's the big deal? I don't understand your feelings about this. If you were my sister, you would also open my door with a kick, I wouldn't even make a peep. And that's fine. So se la vie. Well… for interrupting you from an important lesson – for that, I humbly ask you to forgive me. I had an important reason for that.
Kostya (getting better, putting himself in order, getting up from the sofa.). Hello, Violetta. Did something happen to you?
Eleanor (nervously). It happened! Exactly what happened to me!
Kostya (attentively, cautiously). What?
Eleanor cautiously looks at Violetta, waiting for the disclosure of the intrigue.
