the hell did you get this kindergarten? In every sense of the word. You'll find yourself something normal. By the way, we need a cashier now. Svetka left. Come to us? I'll put in a good word for you. No problem, we'll solve it!
Anna. No, well, I don't want to be a cashier.
Ksyusha. What don't I want?
Anna. Yes, there are absolutely pennies.
Ksyusha. Firstly, it's not such a penny, and secondly, our salary is generally in so far. The main plop is in the bonuses! We have a good commodity expert and a headmistress. They share. There will be no need to buy food at all. And decommissioned alcohol can sometimes even be sold to someone at a speculative price.
Anna. Thanks, I also didn't sell alcohol on the sly. And I'm already fed up with your delay.
Ksyusha. If you don't like it, don't eat it! No one is forcing
Anna. I'm sorry, friend. Thank you very much for supplying. Of course, it's easier to live this way, and not always what you bring is just for waste. But if I also bring it, besides you, then where will we put it all? You can't sell it much, you can't stuff it all into yourself either. What's the point?
Ksyusha. Well, yes…
Anna. Yes, and standing a hundred thousand times a day, offering a bag and smiling – you know, too, somehow it's not my thing.
Ksyusha. I got it Working as a cashier is above your human dignity! Where to go after kindergarten. You're a TEACHER!
Anna. Ksyusha! What are you doing? I'm not talking about that at all. All the work is necessary, everyone is doing their own thing. I'm not judging, don't even think about it!
Ksyusha. Well, then don't complain that everything is so bad. You're living way worse than mine. And everyone has their own difficulties.
Anna. And I'm not whining.
Ksyusha. Are you not whining?
Anna. Yes, I'm whining.
Ksyusha. Here! Don't whine!
Anna. I will not.
Pause.
Ksyusha. Exactly?
Anna. No!
Ksyusha. A fact!
They finish with the meal.
Anna. How are you and Sasha doing?
Ksyusha. Oh, everything is great with Sanka. He and I are going to the cinema today. He should have come by now, but something happened to his car. Some kind of vibration, or something… I don't know. I don't understand this. He's at a hundred now, sort of, then straight here.
Anna. M…
Ksyusha. And this…
Ksyusha beckons her friend to her with her finger, looks around so that no one is around.
Ksyusha. Anyway, there's a guy who comes to my cashier for the second time. Smiling, flirting. Word for word, back and forth, shaking and shaking.
Anna. Turned him down?
Ksyusha. No-e-e-t! What are you doing? What for? I'm waiting for the phone to ask and take some more serious actions than just compliments and smiles.
Anna. I don't understand. What for? Don't you have Sasha?
Ksyusha. Yes, but what's the point? We've been friends for three years, but I still haven't asked you to get married. It seems to me that he won't call anymore. Why does he need this? He's fine with everything, he's doing fine as it is. And I seem to be wasting my time with him.
Anna. Yeah. And this one, then, at the checkout, which, you immediately realized, with serious intentions?
Ksyusha. I don't know, I need to check it out.
Anna. And how far are you willing to go with this test of yours?
Ksyusha. Anyut! Don't be boring. Everything is fine. Everything is under control. Nothing like this has happened yet, I pinched him once…
a sleigh enters, drags a car battery.
Sanek. Hello everyone
Anna, Ksyusha (chorus). Hi.
Sanek. I took a new one here. Mine plows somehow, in summer it's still nothing, but in winter it doesn't pull anymore. I snatched it while there was a sale. Maybe I'll put it on myself, but if not, I'll resell it as a last resort.
He puts the battery on the floor, sits on it, wipes the sweat from his forehead.
Anna spills tea on herself. He jumps up and runs to the bathroom.
Ksyusha. Did you go to the station?
Sanek. Yes. Driven.
Ksyusha. Have you set up a car?
Sanek. Uh-huh… We've set it up… I outlined the situation to them, explained what was going on. What was my problem? After one hundred and thirty kilometers per hour, my Lada begins to shake and have a fever. Something is playing, something is vibrating. Everything in the cabin is already jumping, shaking, shaking.
Ksyusha. And when you're not driving, is everything okay?
Well, yes, everything is quiet until the hundred. And the higher, the worse. If you're over a hundred and thirty, turn off the lights altogether.
Ksyusha. Well, what was there?
Sanek. The car was inspected, no technical problems were found. Then the master came up to me, we talked. We found a problem.
Ksyusha. So?
Sanek. Well, he said this: "Vibrations after one hundred and thirty on the Frets are a common phenomenon. The problem is, let's say, not of a technical nature.
Ksyusha. And what's going on?
Sanek. The point is playing!
Ksyusha. M… it's cool.
Sanek. Yeah. Something like that.
Ksyusha. So maybe you don't need to drive at that speed? And nothing will play.
Sanek. Yes, in theory, of course it is not necessary. But how not to drive when the car is rushing? If you don't want to, you put pressure on the trigger.
Ksyusha. It's clear. Tell you what, you fucker, get this damn thing out of here somewhere. On the balcony, for example. Wash up and sit down to eat.
Sanek. Oh, no. Thanks, I'm full. I'll take the battery away now.
He takes the battery and takes it to the balcony.
Anna returns.
Ksyusha (shouting). Why did you bring him here? What do you want here? A warehouse?
Sanek (shouting from the balcony). It was just on the way. Let it stand for a while, then I'll take it away if it gets in the way too much.
Ksyusha (shouting). It's already getting in the way! I'm not the only one living here. So, Anya is outraged!
Anna. Xun? Come on, what are you doing? Let him keep it. What problems?
Ksyusha. Yeah, just let the men loose. Turn the balcony into a garage in one fell swoop.
Sanek returns.
Sanek. That's it, I put it in a corner. It's worth it modestly, it doesn't bother anyone. Does it bother you, Anyut?
Anna. I don't.
Sanek. That's fine. Are you sulking, Ksyukha? Let's go to the cinema!
Ksyusha. Yes, it's too early to drive!
Sanek. Come on. Let's go for a walk, wander around. What is there to sit in the apartment? (To Anna). Am I right?
Anna. Sure.
Sanek. Well.
Ksyusha. Oh, listen, Nyur, so can you come with us? And?
Anna. No, no, thanks. I'm tired from work. Even though you work half the day, you get exhausted like in a day and a half. I'm going to rest. You have a great time.
Anna leaves, taking the leftovers from the table with her. Sanek and Ksyusha follow Anna with their eyes. Then
