Olchik (anxiously). Which Nissan?
Semchik (with interest). Strange reaction… What about the cat aren't you interested in?
Olchik (anxiously). What will happen to her, the cat has nine lives, and I have one Nissan, in which my sister has just left for Novosibirsk. (Asks more demanding). Which Nissan, I ask?
Semchik (disinterestedly). How do I know? There were no details about the car. For some reason.
Olchik takes off, runs to the phone, starts dialing his sister's number. Semchik breaks down after him, takes the phone, puts it in place, drives Olya away.
Olchik (anxiously). I have to call my sister! Find out if everything is in order!
Semchik (with vindictive calmness). I also had an important correspondence, but it didn't stop you, so excuse me, citizen, we will sit in "happy ignorance" together!
Olchik is angry, offended, but where to go. He gives up his position, sits down indignantly in the Semchik's chair.
Olchik (displeased). Here, Semchik, you know how to be an unpleasant person!
Semchik (with a clear hint). There is someone to learn from…
they look at each other. They understand each other.
Semchik sits down in Olya's chair.
Olchik (trying to calm down and pull himself together). So how is she?
Semchik (wiping the thread of the conversation). Who!
Olchik (trying to calm down and pull himself together). I'm asking about the cat! Survived? No?
Semchik (calmly). A cat has nine lives, what will happen to it.
Olchik looks at this with disbelief.
Semchik (catching this look). Yes, she survived-she survived.
Olchik (still a little nervous). Wow, of course. It's not like that with people. I stumbled out of the blue and I'm ready. How many such cases?
Semchik (in solidarity). That yes. To know, a person is less valuable to nature and the universe as a whole than a cat.
Olchik thinks about it.
Olchik (with thoughtful interest). Semchik, but you're right! In the sense that… That your words are very similar to the truth. After all, in fact, a person is not valued a damn thing either among his own or among strangers. How much work, care, effort it takes for a person to be born, get stronger, get on his feet, learn something and show something to the world. But a moment is enough for a person to disappear.
Semchik (thoughtfully). And do you know… On the one hand, it seems to be unfair, but on the other hand, it is very right that everything is exactly like that.
