She finishes her lunch, wipes her mouth with a napkin, and notices Emily. He forgets about the unpleasant conversation, sips a cocktail, glancing at the girl from time to time. Emily notices these glances on herself, at first she does not show it, but after that she begins to smile in response to the attention and even play along with her facial expressions in a playful and provocative way.
The exchange of glances and the game of glances does not last long. Leon gets up from his seat and walks towards the girl. Emily is smiling, waiting. But Leon passes by. Emily is lost in surprise, looks disappointed at Leon's back as he leaves, but he quickly returns.
Leon (coming up to Emily). Leon!
Emily (blooms again). Good afternoon, I'm Emily.
Leon. It's a pleasure, Emily, I hope I didn't ruin your meal with my shouting? For God's sake, I'm sorry, it's just impossible how many dishonest, unscrupulous people have divorced today. (He points to an empty chair at Emily's table) Shall I sit down?
Emily doesn't have time to give her answer yet, Leon sits down next to her.
Leon. I am terribly uncomfortable with my behavior, I would like to make amends. May I buy you something?
Emily (timidly, uncertainly). It's okay, thanks, there's no need for that, I've already had a snack.
Leon. What have you been biting here? Is this food? There will be food now. (Calling the waiter). The waiter!
Emily (timidly, uncertainly). Believe me, I'm not hungry at all, it's not worth ordering anything, I was about to leave.
Leon. Yes, I was going to, too, but how can you leave when there is such a goddess here. (Emily is embarrassed.) At least let me treat you to dessert. What kind of ice cream do you prefer? The tastiest vanilla balls are sold here, they are with chocolate, with…
Emily (interrupts). No, no, I'm…
Leon. Emily, I'm begging you! Or are you in a hurry somewhere?
Emily (timidly). Well… No, actually I'm not in a hurry.
Leon. That's great. Ice cream, as I understand it, is canceled. Well, what about a little delicious cake?
Emily (timidly). Only if it's very small.
Leon. In a tiny way! Everything is going to happen now! (Calling the waiter). The waiter! Well, where is he?.. Oh, you know… it's a mess everywhere. I'll go myself now. Wait, okay?
Emily. Okay, I'll wait.
