Evening. Residential cozy apartment. The lights are dim.
The door opens, and a tired Eugene enters. He undresses, arranges things like a master, pours water from a jug, drinks, exhales, sits on the sofa, lays out some documents, studies them.
Olesya enters the room. Dressed in a homely, but tasteful way.
OLESYA (happily): Honey, are you early today? What a surprise. And I haven't had time to cook dinner yet, why didn't you call?
EUGENE (all in business, studying the documents): Yes, I'm exhausted. It's okay, I'm not too hungry right now. I'll just work on the paperwork, and I'll be hungry in time, and you'll have time to finish everything in that time. It's okay, honey, don't worry. I'm sorry I didn't warn you, I'm so busy, my head is spinning.
Eugene turns his gaze from the documents to Olesya.
EUGENE (in a nice way): Sit down, sit with me for a minute. Olesya sits down next to
me, and they hug each other.
EUGENE (kindly, embracing): I know perfectly well what the chores are worth. Always clean, always cozy. Everything is always washed and ironed. And you cook very well, not to mention everything else that you do skillfully.
Eugene begins to flirt with Olesya, she laughs, jumps off the sofa and goes to the kitchen.
OLESYA (happily, running away): The burgers on the stove, favorite I'm sorry…
EUGENE (good-naturedly): Oh, nothing, nothing… That's all right… (thoughtfully, slowly, stretching on the sofa) All ho-ro-sho.
Olesya sets the table in the hall where Eugene is sitting. Fusses, brings meatballs. Eugene helps her to arrange, puts his documents to the side, changes clothes.
They sit down at the table.
Eugene tries it.
EUGENE (pleasantly surprised): Mmm, honey, I can't stop admiring your cooking. You're a wonderful hostess. You're great at everything.
