A lifetime ago. Comedy Drama. Nikolay Lakutin

Oh, congratulations to you!

      Yasha. Exactly! I forgot.

      Liza. But I remember!

      Anastasia. Lizonka, but you really are busy in the kitchen for a long time. Are you getting baptized? What are you whispering about? I found the time. Feed the guys, men don't like to wait long!

      Yasha. That's for sure!

      Liza. Yes, I'm already carrying it, I'm carrying it…

      Scene 4

      Demyan. Happy holidays!

      Liza. Demyan? Hi, I didn't expect to see you here.

      Demyan. My mother asked me to take some things to a friend, and my friend, it turns out, lives a few houses away from you.

      Liza. Who is this?

      Demyan. Anna Viktorovna Subbotina.

      Liza. Ah, Aunt Nyura. Of course, I know. So she's your mom's friend?

      Demyan. Yeah.

      Liza. Clear. And you congratulated me on the holiday when we met. What kind of holiday is it today? I'm not aware, I'm sorry.

      Demyan. So today is this…

      Lisa. M?

      Demyan. The devil knows. We need to look at the calendar, what day it is. There must be something. We have some kind of holiday every day, or even two.

      Liza. Yeah! So you don't know what kind of holiday it is today, or if there is one at all?

      Demyan. Well… Frankly– yes.

      Liza. And then what did he shout – congratulations?

      Demyan. I just really wanted to talk to you. Come over, get to know each other better.

      Liza. He's smart…

      Demyan. No, I'm actually guileless. Even more straightforward. I'm talking straight to you. I know it's not the way to do it, but I don't know how to go roundabout. If I liked the girl, then I'm without hints, signs… I'm not a romantic, in a word. But, which one is already there.

      Lisa. … And what? Did you like the girl?

      Demyan. I liked it.

      Liza. How much?

      Demyan. Yes, so, you know… it's okay!

      Liza. And tell me about her?

      Demyan. And I don't know much about her myself. I know she's my friend's sister. Which is very beautiful. Charming and charming. At first glance, it catches and attracts.

      Liza. Oh, and you said that you're not a romantic, that you don't know how to go roundabout. You can do everything! You can do anything! But he didn't say it head-on.

      Demyan. Should I?

      Liza. And why not? What are you risking?

      Demyan. It's just that suddenly this girl didn't like me.

      Liza. What if you liked it?

      Demyan. Hmm… So that's a completely different matter then. So, I say it head-on, Lisa, you're my…

      Sergei. Hi, Liz! It's good to see you. Good afternoon, Sergey, let's get to know each other.

      Demyan. I'm Demyan, we will!

      Sergei. I haven't seen you for a long time, girlfriend. Is everything okay, are you sick?

      Liza. Seryozha, everything is fine, don't worry. I was busy.

      Sergey. A. And I'm from you. I came to check on you, Aunt Nastya said that you went to the store.

      Liza. Yes, that's right. I haven't reached it yet, so I met a friend.

      Sergei. Understood. Then maybe we can go together? I need to go to the store too. The bread at home has dried up completely, damn it, only if you soak it. So it's better to take a fresh one, and feed this one to the dogs. That's right, I'm saying. Demyan?

      Demyan. Perhaps.

      Sergei. Shall we go? On the way, right?

      Demyan. No, I'm sorry, I'm going the other way.

      Sergey. A. Well, then I'll see you. Come on!

      Demyan. Happily.

      Liza. While.

      Demyan. Goodbye. Liza.

      Sergei. Lisa, listen, I wanted to talk to you. It just turned out to be a mess that time. And I didn't really understand what you were saying about that conversation we had…

      Scene 5

      Anastasia. Daughter, cook sausages, it doesn't seem like lunch yet, but I want to eat. We had breakfast early today.

      Liza. Yes, Mom, it's okay. I wouldn't mind it myself. How old are you?

      Anastasia. Three things, that's enough.

      Yasha. So, what's the fuss here? Did you use the sausages?

      Liza. They let me in.

      Yasha. Great, Liza, throw a couple at me.

      Liza. Easily.

      Yasha. Ah! What? Are you crazy?

      Anastasia. Yasha, did you make a noise?

      Yasha. Lizka threw sausages on my head!

      Liza. I asked for it myself.

      Yasha. Are you turning on a fool? Is this the first time you've heard the expression? For my share, throw two pieces in a saucepan!

      Liza. I would have said so right away.

      Yasha. That's what I said!

      Anastasia. Children, don't quarrel!

      Yasha. And we don't quarrel. It's just that my sister has become too playful. Too playful moods began to prevail.

      Liza. What do you mean?

      Yasha. That's what I have! Seryozha's out, he's looked through all the windows, and now my friend has started coming to visit me, just to see Lisa. And Lisa is playing with them, juggling! I tried out the power of female charm over helpless male feelings.

      Liza. It's not true! I'm not juggling with anyone!

      Yasha. Yeah. They stick to you.

      Liza. Yes, by yourself!

      Yasha. They don't stick to Katyusha. She always comes to visit alone. I haven't found anyone for myself, but she'll be six years older, and mind you, she's not scarier than you!
