Oleg (with interest). So I'm not literally. Of course, a friend. And what, secondly?
Danil (with a calm face). And secondly, I know this couple very well. They have been dating for a long time. In fits and starts, though, from time to time, but for a long time. I suspect that their anniversary is coming soon.
Oleg (with interest, and some disbelief). You're at it again… That's how? How can you know all this? Tell me honestly, are you making it up on the go?
Danil (with a calm face). I'm not making anything up.
Oleg (egging on). Yeah, you'll say that someone from this couple personally tells you all the details, right?
Danil (with a calm face). I can't really say anything about the peasant, I've only seen him a few times, briefly. Nothing such a man, quite suitable.
A new batch of groans and gasps is heard. Mostly female shouts.
Danil (with a calm face). And I know the lady who's been soloing for an hour well.
Oleg (biased, incredulous). Oh, stop it! He knows everyone, he knows about everything.
Oleg starts drinking.
Danil (with a calm face). And how can I not know if it's my own wife.
