ACTOR

Konstantin is a nice man about 37 years old. Small business owner, reliable support for his family. Married for almost 20 years. Has attractive appearance and is popular with women, but fundamentally does not change his wife.

Lily is the wife of Constantine. For about 40 years. A good woman, a worthy wife and mother. She knows that her husband is handsome and, as usual, jealous of him at times.

Tanya is the daughter of Constantine and Lily. It on Aoyama 17 years. A positive girl, a demonstrative student who is already beginning to take a serious interest in boys.

Anya is a 42-year-old raider of men's hearts. Looks very young and presentable. Not believe in the existence of decent faithful men, at least, these are not met. Any man is easy prey for her.

Vitalina is a Woman, about 40 years old. Holds approximately the same views about men and family life, and Anya, they're friends. But maybe a little more responsible and conscious approach to the issues of married men.

ACT ONE

1.      ANI'S APARTMENT

Girlfriends impressively sprawled on the couch, discussing past successes.

On the table wine, in the hands of glasses.

Sounds girlish laughable.

VITALINA. Look, how many did you have?

ANIA. I stopped counting a long time ago.

VITALINA. Oh, Lee?

ANIA. All right, forty-two.

VITALINA (incredulously). Forty-two?

ANIA. Approximately. Maybe fifty-six… You know I'm bad at arithmetic.

VITALINA (with a mockery). And after coming of age?

ANIA. And after coming of age, I just stopped counting. Make sense?

Laugh.

VITALINA. I also answered my gynecologist, but he did not appreciate the humor.
