LENYA (sadly): So, old man, if you like, we can assume that I've lost this argument. I'd rather be known as a weakling than a sucker!

Semyon heaves a sigh, goes up to Lena, and pats him on the shoulder in a friendly way.

SEMYON (sincerely): It's all right, friend. If I were you I would have done exactly the same. Well done. Guy. I'm not complaining. Say later. We will assume that our agreement entered into force from tomorrow!

Friends kindly smile at each other, shake hands and disperse.

SCENE 6 KRISTINA'S APARTMENT

Kristina, wrapped in a large Terry towel, is sitting in front of the mirror with a hair dryer and comb, drying her hair.

Movement and the expression on her face showing a nervous condition. The girl is frankly freaking out.

The doorbell rings. Kristina drops everything and rushes to the door, opens it.

KRISTINA (nervously, hysterically): Senya! thank God. Where have you been? Why didn't the phone answer? All I was worried about you.

A sad, drooping Semyon enters the room. Kristina flutters around him. She closes the door, runs, turns off the still-working hair dryer, puts it back in its place. Runs up to Semyon, looks into his eyes.

KRISTINA (quietly, scared): Honey… what happened? Why do you look like that? Where have you been, after all, for a week?

SIMON (sadly, slowly): I…

Simon lowers his eyes. With a drooping look, he sits down on the Ottoman. Snatches a guilty look at Kristina.

KRISTINA (with increasing intonation): Senya, my heart is about to jump out. Tell me what happened.

SEMYON (sadly): I told you I was going snowboarding with a friend.

KRISTINA (nervously): Last weekend? So. Well?

SEMYON (sadly): In general… We arrived at the slope, and there the track is unprepared. Potholes, potholes, ruts. But you can't really go back. Go. And there was also a little rain during the night. The road is crusty, the snowboard does not obey at all. Handling is zero, the Board does not cling.

KRISTINA (as much as possible worried, preparing for the tragic news): Aaaaaah…

SEMYON (sadly): and the speed-you know.

Kristina puts her head down, almost crying.

SEMYON (sadly): I fell.

Kristina falls to her knees in despair, crying softly, but sobbing violently.

SEMYON (sadly): I scratched my nose and bit my tongue.

Kristina freezes in a silent frenzy.

SEMYON (understanding that it is necessary to tell something more serious, lies on the move, hesitantly): he also dislocated his shoulder, knee joint, and this one… the nerve was damaged there… (points to the back) somewhere in the back. I don't know anything about it. But he could hardly move.

Kristina bursts into tears.

SEMYON (cheerfully, realizing that he got out of it. He gets up and walks briskly across the room.) I got an ambulance to the ward. I don't remember everything there, I was losing consciousness. Nerve after all. It's a thing. Here it was passed, there it was disconnected. As a result, I only got out of the hospital yesterday. And my phone fell out on the highway, as it turned out, when I fell. But his benefit employees of the ski club found, and handed over to the administrator. I picked it up today and now I've just come to see you.

Semyon quite exhales, cautiously looking at Kristina, who is killed in tears sitting on her knees.

KRISTINA (out of breath from hysteria, quietly, with a scream): I felt, I knew, that something had happened. Thank God you're alive.

Kristina gets up from her knees and throws her arms around Semyon

KRISTINA (gently, carefully): Senechka, how are you feeling? How are you now? Does it hurt very much?

SIMON (simulated suffering): Nothing… But … I am now prescribed outpatient treatment and complete rest. I don't know when I can come to you next. You know, I'll be under the supervision of my wife and doctors all the time. New year meeting on the home bed with pills and procedures.

KRISTINA (gently, carefully): Yes, Yes, of course, I understand. The main thing is that you are healthy. And I'll wait as long as it takes, don't worry about it, I'll wait for you, honey.

Kristina and Semyon embrace.

Semyon's face expresses doubt and some emotion.

KRISTINA (gently, carefully): It's hard for you, but you broke out to me. So good, so caring. And I, a fool, have already thought of everything here. I thought you left me.

Kristina giggles softly through her tears as she looks at the Seeds.

Semyon adjusts to the situation and laughs in response, completely improbable and unnatural.

KRISTINA (gently, carefully, embracing Semyon): So we won't see each other for a long time now.

SIMON (simulated suffering): Yeah…

KRISTINA (tenderly, carefully, embracing the seeds): Sena? Or maybe… Before the long upcoming separation, can we do something? M?

SEMYON (refusing): Well, I don't know … After all, I'm in such shape now, and then…

KRISTINA (gently, insisting): I'll do it myself, honey. Well?

Begins to kiss the Seeds.

KRISTINA (gently, insistently): M?

Kisses.

KRISTINA (gently, insisting): Try it?

Kisses.

KRISTINA (gently, insisting): Already trying…

Kisses.

KRISTINA (gently, insisting): And I think we're getting somewhere…

Kisses.

ZTM.

SCENE 7 AT THE ENTRANCE

Night.

Twilight.

Quietly giggling in an embrace, Semyon and Kristina walk out of the entrance. They are in a great mood. They are joking and laughing loudly, but quietly, so as not to Wake the neighbors.

KRISTINA (gently, modestly, a little shy): My love, it was an unforgettable evening! You were great! My legs are still shaking…

Out of the silence and darkness comes a loud, terrifying, frightening cry of Laziness, so that the viewer jumps, preferably.

LENYA (deafeningly, as loud as possible): AAAAAAAAAAA!

Semyon and Kristina start, Crouch down in fear, and turn at the cry.

A loud, frightening scream is repeated.

LENYA (deafeningly, as loud as possible): AAAAAAAAAAA!

Semyon and Kristina shudder once again, cling to each other, stiffen in a frenzy of brutal fear.

Lenya enters the stage from the other side.

Lenya bends his back, takes a deep breath in his chest and screams again, but now it becomes clear that this terrifying scream is nothing more than another attempt to sneeze.

LENYA (trying to sneeze): AAH… Aah..AAH … yup… (restrains himself, holds his nose with his hand, making a hollow sound). fuf … it seems to have let go.

SEMYON (in a trembling, stuttering voice): Twvvvvvvvvvvzzzzii, is that you sneezing like that?

LENYA (recovering her breath after a sneeze): Oh, Yes… Lost sneeze! Do you know the term? Well, this is it.

Here Lenya unexpectedly sneezes sharply so that the audience jumps once again in the last row.

Semyon and Kristina involuntarily jump from surprise.

SEMYON (quietly, Kristine): This evening, my dear, I will not forget either. Now my legs are shaking, too.

Kristina looks at Lenya accusingly and shakes her head. He kisses Senya goodbye.

KRISTINA (in a businesslike tone): Okay, I ran. Go on, take care of yourself. In touch!

Kristina runs into the entrance.

Lenya looks at the Seeds contentedly and raises his hands in triumph. He closes his hands in a clap.

LENYA (fun): Ahhh, mate. Everything is clear! (Mimicking Christina) My love, it was an unforgettable evening! You were great! My legs are still shaking…

SEMYON (upset, with attacks): By the way, I haven't been to see her for a week. Ignored it completely in cold blood and cruelly. I thought she'd figure it out, but no… Messages are pouring in every day, I don't have time to delete them! Alina is already looking at me askance. The phone is silent all the time, and I just have time to grab it while she goes out to read and delete it. My wife comes into the room, and I have the eyes of a two – man partisan. Every day is like a volcano…

LENYA (sympathetically): So you came today, you could have explained everything and put an end to it! After all, at the end of it all, it wasn't my idea… Why did you go back?
