Anna. Another delay?
Ksyusha. Anyut? It's all the same thing that you would buy in any other store for money. Well, as long as I'm a cashier, what good can I do? Don't throw it away, right?
Anna. Oh, I don't know. Somehow I'm skeptical about everything that you bring from there.
Ksyusha. If you don't eat, just say so. That I'm crucifying myself here.
Anna. I will! Get your overdue, it won't get any worse.
Ksyusha. That's how it would be right away. Go wash your face and get to the table!
Anna smiles. He goes to wash his face.
Ksyusha sets the table, carries food: cheeses, sausages, yoghurts.
Ksyusha (shouting). And wash your hands with soap! Or else you'll get some chickenpox from these loving kids of yours.
Anna (screams). Learn more – learn more!
Ksyusha smiles, finishes with the table. He sits down and waits. Anna returns. She is already dressed at home. He sits down next to me.
Ksyusha. Here! Another person! This matter. Help yourself.
Anna. Are you sure nothing will come of all this?
Ksyusha. Yes, no…
Anna starts to eat.
Ksyusha. It will carry the maximum.
Anna stops chewing. He looks at his friend. She looks at her. Anna waves her hand away and continues to chew.
Ksyusha. A couple of times.
Anna stops chewing again.
Anna. And what are you not eating?
Ksyusha. Well, I just did!
Anna. You must have been asleep just now!
Ksyusha. Well, yes, and before that, literally…
Anna. No, that won't do. Come with me.
Ksyusha is not in too much of a hurry to share dinner.
Anna. Be brave! Don't be afraid!
Ksyusha. Don't fight! And also a teacher. Do you teach children to speak the same way?
Anna. Come on, eat!
Ksyusha. But now I recognized the teacher. My teacher told me the same thing all the time.
Ksyusha takes the yogurt, opens it, but does not eat it. He hesitates. He looks cautiously at Anna.
Anna. Come on, come on!
Ksyusha. Oh, she wasn't. If anything, we'll ride a white horse together. Just like when I was a kid. Remember?
Anna. I remember, but let's not sit at the table, okay?
Ksyusha. Soryan, my friend.
They clink yoghurts. Eating.
Ksyusha. And nothing, by the way. You can eat.
Anna. M… decided to test it on me first, then? How sweet…
Ksyusha. No, I'm not… That's right, it's okay… Usually… Things happen. Without consequences… Almost.
Anna. Yes, yes… We've been through this before.
