Play on 3, 4, 5 people. As if I gave it to you

Galina fancifully, playfully smiles with a share of squeezed modesty and begins to undress sexually and attractively.

Stanislav looks at this first with humor, then with interest, then with excitement. And now he is ready to pounce on his wife feeling sexual attraction.

The music stops abruptly, and Galina immediately changes the mood, as if this seductive action did not happen.

GALINA (calmly): that's It… I rest, good night, dear!

Stanislav throws up his hands.

STANISLAV: Here! That's what I'm talking about! No respect for your spouse! No tribute to the call of nature! Zero attention, pound of charity!

The wife smiles contentedly and falls asleep.

The husband, with an offended wave of his hand, goes to the kitchen.

ZTM.

5 ROOM

Late the next morning.

Stanislav has already left for work, and Galina is lying on the sofa alone.

The doorbell rings.

Galina tosses and turns.

The call is repeated again and again.

Galina looks at the door with displeasure, gets up, and goes to open it.

Enter Masha.

MASHA: hi, friend. Are you still sleeping? It's past ten o'clock.

GALINA (stretching): Yes… I thought a lot yesterday… I couldn't sleep… I pretended to be asleep so that my husband wouldn't ask unnecessary questions, but I kept thinking and thinking. You've done a lot of business with this Herman. I lived quietly, I didn't know any worries, and now… like a bolt from the blue. And I can't stop thinking about him now!

Masha nods her head understandingly.

GALINA: and this Igor, he came here, a piece of a goat. I can't stand him!

Masha suddenly, sharply grabs her friend by the Breasts with a stern look, then gently lets go, pressing her index finger to Gali's lips. Her mood is not a joke.

GALINA: don't you understand? What do you mean? So it was you who ran to catch up with him yesterday, so you even left your purse…

Masha shakes her head.

GALINA: Understood…

Galina abruptly changes her strategy.

GALINA: and you know, Igor after all… not really a bad guy. Yeah. Yes, he told me something… well, we do not have a good relationship with him, but so I look at him from the outside, he is both rukastyy and humorous. And a good worker and a family man, probably not a bad one. And his figure is nothing and he is generally even prettier than mine will be… So you're together now?

MASHA: Well … sort of.

GALINA: And Vitya?

MASHA (playfully): Vitya? Who is it?

GALINA: You what? Have you already slept together?

MASHA: how Long, how well…

GALINA: Well, you, friend give…

MASHA: I Give…

GALINA: You know… I even envy you. I would sometimes, too, as if gave-gave…, but…

Galina sighs sadly.

GALINA: Everything is so fast, so interesting… No everyday life, all emotions… I saw how you looked at Igor yesterday… Seen.

MASHA: Well, I looked! I have reasons for this, you know that Vitya is a temporary option… was.

GALINA: Guessed.

MASHA: Well. Okay. It will be about me. Tell me, what are you thinking about Herman?

GALINA: Oh, Masha… What I just did not think…

Soft lyrical music plays.

GALINA: Of all my exes, he is the only person who is pleasant to remember. He always somehow managed to give not only everything that is not alien to everyone… He could bestow what was beyond the pale. This is a very rare feature. Very peculiar feature, very… a very dear feature of the heart. He appeared yesterday for a moment, and turned everything inside me, even though he almost didn't say a word… so more and more… common phrases addressed to you… I stood and listened, and my soul wept… Crying like a baby, you know, Mash?

Galina covers her face with her hands.

MASHA (sympathetically): What are you going to do?

GALINA (with tears in her eyes): I don't know… I Don't want to forget it, I don't want to leave it in my past…

MASHA (sympathetically): And Stas?

The music stops.

GALINA (wiping away her tears): And Stas… And Stas is my husband.

Masha nods understandingly, passes, takes her purse, and returns to the door.
