During lifetime did not protect, now here — I come, when to you it is difficult. Or you do not want, that I have helped you? Vadim. Very much, very much I want! And than? Well than you can help me? Or at you THERE money is? Lena. Money at us THERE, of course, is not present, but COUNCILS are. One I can give. You, of course, have absolutely forgotten, that we have site, a kitchen garden in the Pine Corner.

Lena silently approaches to Vadim, clasps his head hands, silently kisses on top, presses faced to a breast. Lena. And Valery quite even anything … Kind! Lena disappears. Vadim ploughs up eyes, touches fingers top, looks round in perplexity. Approaches to phone, dials number. Female voice (pretentiously). Hello! Vadim (in tone). Hellou, Victoria!

Well the saleswoman has invited him in podsobku — to test-check up. And Mitja the fool as there is a fool — has not permitted to the maid-saleswoman to work, itself undertook the razor to connect. Only the plug zakontachil — damned "Berdsk" also has jerked at it in a hand, how a grenade … (Sighs, with bitterness) Has torn off to mine Meath four fingers on the right hand, all has honeycombed the person, in a stomach splinters … Neustroyev, what it is created, and? What now, on street not to leave in general?. Vadim. Brad any! Marfa Anpilovna. If delirium! (Resolutely) Well, good, it's no use to cry over spilt milk! Glory those My God, that is live remained! It now to support it is necessary, Neustroyev. Today you to it will not start up, but I to it — as it? — Mobile, whether that, has got phone. Call it is direct now, talk. (Rises, dials on phone number) Alla? Mit, you? How you there, rodnulja mine?. Aha! Now here Neustroyev with you will speak … (Passes a tube and, having extended a neck, listens) Vadim. Mitja, Mitja! Greetings, the friend! Voice SHilova (with vshlipami). Pr … pr … greetings … Vadim. Well, well, the fellow countryman! That you? A rank of the Siberian you dishonour — cease!

Mitja, well something there has cleared up? For what they you, and? For « destruction of Russia»? And how have learnt, what you behind the razor will go?. Voice SHilova (was struck dumb). Yes you, Vad that — kina has seen enough?! No, here — stupidity! Accident! To one cop to the divisional somewhere in area the parcel has by mail come from Baranova. Well, and it a grated kalatch has appeared: has turned on mail jashchichek, esteemed an unfamiliar surname of the sender, and did not begin to take. It back in Rams. Well it otlezhala on mail put, anybody does not take away back. Have opened then, and everything, chyo there valuable was, — in state trade. It appears, the rule such is. And chyo there valuable — one this razor-bomb. And you represent, Vadja, already half a year, paskudina, me waited! All after all shchas the import suffice, and I here, the fool, has coveted … (Vshlipy) Vadim. Anything-anything, Mitja, I live with one hand. Voice SHilova. Yes-a-a, at you left is not present … And how to me, the artist, without the right? Vadim. You not is worse me know, as the left hand draw, and feet, and even teeth. You will be retrained! And value of your cloths even will increase — here will see. It is a rarity! You rejoice — eyes have escaped. For the artist, in my opinion, an eye it is more important than a hand — unless not so? Voice SHilova (voodushevlyonno). Precisely! I if hardly still would bend, is exact eyes povyshibalo! And that, and the truth, I and earlier when the hand right got tired, left to an underpainting did … E-eh, vmazat it would be desirable! Vad, you when — will come tomorrow? Tomorrow will already start up. You it, do not forget a bubble to take imperceptibly, and? Marfa Anpilovna (hears, grumbles). Again for the! Vadim (reproachfully swinging on it a head). Yes, Mitja, of course, what conversation … Voice SHilova it (is disturbed). Oh, Vadja, and how — the thirteenth? How you without me? Vadim. Yes do not worry!

No, thanks! Is and at me however it is necessary. (Forcedly severely) Even on "bubble" obormotu You will suffice it … (At a door strange peers at Vadim) know, Neustroyev, and I after all you for the first time sober see today! Vadim, smiling, makes a helpless gesture what here to tell supposedly, is excused with the guest, closes a door. Phone calls. Vadim. Hallo. Voice Miheicha (good-natured). Well, how, the guy, a head bobo? Vadim (chilly). Not "bobo". Voice Miheicha. And you do not drink, durachina? Vadim. From the fool I hear! Voice Miheicha. Ogo! At once cats in dyboshki! Here it on-kakovski now? Ladnenko … Tell then — докýмент on apartment all has celebrated? Vadim. Has celebrated. Voice Miheicha. Well, so — the thirteenth as agreed. I for you by the car will send Valerka, a watch in ten … Vadim it (is disturbed). What for for me to send? I will not go anywhere … At me, here, all and we will discuss. Voice Miheicha. You of that, the guy, a henbane obelsja? We have agreed — kvartiryoshku yours we change for other habitation. Here also you will look habitation at once. Here and money — all rest — you will receive, forty tyshch. As agreed. Not bois, the guy, business — vernjak … Vadim (minting). Hey! I last time speak: anywhere I will not go! Business we will solve here, at me! And — a point! Hangs up. Light slowly dies away. THE PHENOMENON THE FOURTH Vadim Neustroyev sits in an armchair. It in a light shirt, a suit. In a hand — the opened book in firm cover. Vadim reads: something mutters, exclaims «Now that's something like it!.» Jumps, with emotion paces the room, holding a small volume in a hand. A call to a door. Vadim (looks at the watch). Without fifteen ten … Goes to a door, opens. Valery. Valery (slightly having been out of breath). Hardly it was possible to me earlier!. (With astonishment) to you it is cheerful? Vadim (smiling). Certainly! Unless you have not noticed: each time as I you see, I become cheerful and cheerful! Valery. Joke? Vadim. I do not joke. As I also have got tughriks. (Gets from a pocket two pachechki money, examines, one stretches) Here, by the way, yours of ten thousand — next time so be not scattered by money. Valery. You, the truth, have got twenty thousand? Oh, as well! (Even jumps up and slaps hands together) And I was afraid! Now it can make nothing! Vadim. Can … Still oh as can!. Yes lines with it! At us some more minutes are. Have a seat, Bringing down, in an armchair. I now will read something to you. Did not hear never a surname — Ostrouhov? Anatoly Ostrouhov? He/she is the poet, ours, baranovsky. More correctly, it from Nikiforovki, but all the same … Here its book, at last, left — the sponsor, to see, has found … Listen! No, you only listen! Same! It!. Here, «In October» is called. You see (shows page) it is printed as prose, in selection, only a few stanzas in a column. And the subtitle — "Story", but is verses … These are VERSES! Listen! (Reads with soul, it is pathetic — talently). IN OCTOBER The story All is harassed an autumn rain, a dirt and mokrjad by village circle. It is good, that the young neigbour the widow has got yeast. I on street left. pogodka … Clouds fragmentary, a wind, a world's end. Also walked goose gait city uchitelka Light. I was today not so drunk. A mouth having decorated with a curve smile. — as your mood, Light? — I have asked and have shaken a head. City uchitelka it is proud, as if srodu the fault did not drink, at my turned pale muzzle has looked also a look has taken away. And, swinging vihljastymi hips, as the soldier-recruit in a system, hardly a reserve young my neigbour going with buckets. Having conceded to the teacher a footpath, And a slow movement of a hand, moloduha has brushed away dozhdinku With the zaalevshej cheeks. I looked at abrupt road. There vetrishche breakers twisted. Also has asked, having concealed alarm: — Well that I have done yesterday? Possibly, again deboshiril also shouted in rural calm, what in all this distance and breadth there is no place for free soul? Or again shot from a double-barrelled gun and, having fallen behind the next hillock, howled, yes so, what the Tambov wolves looked around with toskoju around? Having compressed from a cold full shoulders and, having corrected a jacket on a breast, moloduha has told: — Towards evening as will banish cows, come. And confusedly, me not concerning, buckets taking, on a footpath has gone. Hardly eyes having lowered, being afraid of mutno-grey windows of village. It was poor around and it is melancholy. I stood on road one. Only in the sky suddenly bitterly-happily The flying by wedge has begun to sob. Overdue, shrill, long, On heavenly road abrupt The wedge flied and shouted unceasingly, Also it was excused forever with me. This crying turned out soul. I ran and shouted it from the earth. Crying weakened. Reached all more deafly, Also has thawn … has thawn … in the distance. It was empty around. And it is nasty. I stood on road one. And then, as if in a revolver barrel, has frowningly looked in shop. And, swearing at the cousin aunt, after all it prodavshchitseju there, I have got hold in addition of a herring and have trudged to coastal bushes … Added then with muzhiks, On boondocks, on fresh fire wood. And I waved smoothly hands, It telling about cranes. And I have regained consciousness all forgotten and broken have touched a lip. At road, rains washed away, I stood, having leant against a column. Also I have gone, ditches considering, and cried out in the word sky … At a gate, I waiting, ineptly was smoked by the widow. Has set for a table. Reproached … And I felt — there is I to a bottom. But, a hand conducting inertly, all began a song one: — I the seaman, has got lost on a land … — and did not know this song the end. Also whispered continuously:-Tanjusha … And all climbed to kiss, the rascal. All to me the distant rivers seemed. My head grew heavy. The first came nearer snegi. In kitchen gardens the tops of vegetable … laid Pause. Vadim. And? Same about me! One to one! (Turns away, wipes eyes) THE PHENOMENON THE FIFTH Sharp calls to a door. Vadim, mechanically pushing a small volume in an internal pocket of a jacket, looks to steam of seconds on Valery, grows dark, goes to open. Miheich and Hair. Pass thriftily in a room. Hair on nod Miheicha puts forward a table from a wall on the middle, exposes from a bag two bottles of vodka, a sausage stick, to bank of canned food, fresh cucumbers in a package. Hair (Vadim). Would help, fraer! Drag bread, ware … (not having waited the answer, itself brings from kitchen plates-glasses, cuts sausage) Blatar horse-radishes!. Miheich (substitutes a chair to a table, has a seat, specifying to gesture Valerys and Vadim). Well, sit down … (Important, meditatively) Here, the guy, and term has appeared in time. Have a seat, have a seat … Give ive we will drink, yes we will start. Vadim takes the second chair, has a seat hardly away from a table. Valery remains in an armchair. Hair drags with grumble a stool from kitchen, has a seat, pours in three glasses. Vadim. For an entertainment blagodarstvuju, only I to tea have already got drunk, so, misters-companions, give keep to the point. Miheich. It as … (Takes the glass, clinks glasses with Volosom, drinks) Hair. See, fraer, on pont a beret — a feather to see, has sideways wanted!. (Swallows) Vadim (Hair). You know, darling, at me shoulders a mental hospital, twenty years of the drunk charcoal fumes, two attempts of a suicide … (In tone) So behind a market watch, fraer!. Hair (shcheritsja). CHyo, bazarila, a life-copeck on a game you put? Vadim. And you, the young man, remember, what Gusserl were not absolutely right, confirming as if the life is existence? Not quite to agree it is possible and with Kierkegaard considering a life above existence. And sovse-e Ortega-AND-gasset denying a life out of existence is not right. It seems to me, Montaigne nevertheless is closer to true and our blissful memory father Paul Florensky which confirmed: the life is a life … (Pathetically) I Hope, you agree?. Miheich (chews thoughtfully a sausage piece, crackles a cucumber) Well, good, will suffice to make a fool! About business, so about business. (Wipes hands about trousers, gets from a man purse a sheet of paper, develops, puts on a table edge to Vadim, shows a finger). Here here write ite given the passport yes undersign — bole anything from you and it is not required. Yes, still keys take out yes polozh. And your money — here they, in a bag at me, shchas also you will receive. Vadim. No, dear Ivan Miheevich, it YOU now money from me полýчите. Here they — twenty thousand roubles a zero-zero of copecks. (Spreads money from a pocket) All my debt … All right to accept. Hair puchit burkaly on Vadim, then on the chief, a mouth is opened. Miheich stupidly looks. A pause. Miheich. How it? And — apartment? Vadim. And the apartment washing remains at me. To you your money, me my apartment — that here not clear? Miheich (having flushed, zhahaet kulachishchem on a table). Yes you of that — jokes shutkovat have taken in head, a reptile? Already my flat and — that will do! Yes to spit to me for your signature — and without it business we will make! Will be here kochevrjazhitsja! You, the guy, the dead man already — remember! To you, a gopher to live remains practically nothing!. Valery. Ivan Miheevich! You promised!. It is not necessary! Vadim (having developed to it all body). Not bois, Valery, these jackals in appearance only terrible, and inside — decay … Valery (desperately). Vadim!!! Vadim, jumping, is sharply developed, but is late: the hand of Hair with bleskuchej a metal strip in a fist already finishes blow. The murderer marked under a shovel, but now a knife edge gets to a breast, is direct in heart. Vadim from blow does not overturn nearly. The knife blade for some reason in all length sticks out outside. Hair convulsively raises again. Vadim throws up the hand-palitsu and brings down on the Hair skull, on its protruding eyes. Hair, having given a grunt, falls on a floor, rolls out krossovkami, twitches and calms down. Vadim (roughly breathing, ascertains). Well, here and I became the murderer!. (Corrects points, does pair of steps round a table — to Miheichu) Miheich (fussy rummaging in a man purse, snatches out a pistol, pulls a shutter). Here so, the guy! Be not jerked! All the same you otsjudova the feet will not leave now! Time a calico such has gone — I will not concede the … this Apartment washing, the guy, and only mine! Vadim recedes on a step, covers a breast with a saving artificial limb. Finger Miheicha on a trigger hook shakes … Suddenly because of Vadim's back rushes Valery, closes its body, having scattered a hand cross. Valery. It is not necessary! If you kill him, I all yours will tell about this apartment! They will not excuse to you, that you secretly from them wanted! They will kill you! Vadim (softly removes to Valery aside). Do not worry, Bringing down, and be not afraid. And you, Ivan Miheevich, in vain burn down nerves and try to take a superfluous sin on soul. What for? Clean yours pugach, clean, clean! Here look better an interesting paper. (Climbs in a breast pocket of a jacket, takes out a small volume of verses with a hole from a knife in a cover. Looks bewildered. Puts on a table. Takes out a paper, straightens, the certified copy of the donative stretches Miheichu) Here. As you can see, in case of my death the apartment washing passes completely and unconditionally in possession of my daughter, Irina Vadimovne Ne-u-stro-e-voj … Miheich, still threatening with a pistol, takes a leaf and, holding it on flying away, moving with pale dirty lips, studies. Having hung a head, long thinks-reflects. Vadim (already absolutely confidently). Besides, at the mother-in-law of my former the package on which it is written lays: «to Open in case of my death». And there — all details: who, where, when … (Having understood on sight Miheicha that has won) raspisochki return. Miheich (postponing a pistol, with a sigh). Well, well, you, the guy, took. (Takes out from a man purse a pack of the receipts fastened by paper clips, throws on a table edge, puts in a handbag money, a pistole) it was necessary to finish, not to be delayed at once you … Vadim (fluently looks receipts, hides in a pocket). Yes ive, miss at you left … Well, and now and — aufviderzeen! I hope to-about-olgo now not to meet, and can be, and never … Miheich (hard rising). Valerka, ajda! Valery (looking in a floor, it is firm). I will not go!. Miheich was twitches, but, only inertly having waved ruchishchej, nabulkivaet in a vodka glass, drinks. Approaches to Hair, touches-pushes its sock sandaleta. Hair suddenly groans, moves. Vadim. Well, thanks God, the young reptile is live!. Miheich picks up Hair for shkirku, stirs up, drags almost to a door, not turning around, leaves. Vadim and Valery some instants look against each other, rush in a uniform impulse, strong embrace. Fade. THE PHENOMENON THE SIXTH Call to a door. Vadim and Valery it is disturbed turn around. Vadim, having liberated from hands Valerys, goes to open. Irinka. Irinka. The daddy, you has not forgotten?. (Notices to Valery, stops) Vadim. Yes is not present, certainly! Enter, enter!. (Mutters) It here — aunt Valery … More correctly — the aunt Bringing down … At it too birthday soon … In three days … "sheshnadtsatogo" … (Valerys) Is the daughter washing, Irinka … to It today ten years has knocked — absolutely the young lady … (Joyfully) And I after all to you, Irinka, the gift has already bought — now and I will hand over. That to pull? (Runs, gets from a sideboard Barbie's doll) Here! You (Bethink) Yes, probably, already and do not play a doll? Irinka (with advantage). Certainly, in dolls as I any more do not play those! What I small? But all of them equally for an ornament will … To me aunt Vick precisely such too today has presented. I on the little table nearby will put them, will be … (reflects for a second) prestigiously … Vadim (laughing, pulls out to it hair). I see, I see bourgeois influence of the aunt of Victoria! When at you there with the grandmother "banquet" it is conceived — at o'clock in the afternoon? Well, run, I without delay will be … Valery. And can, while time is, Irinka to us will help? Vadim (bewildered). In what? Than? Valery (with a smile). How in what? It is necessary to finish gluing wall-paper — a cosiness in YOUR apartment to create. (Pulls out because of a case a package with rolls). How, Irinka, you will help? Irinka (pressing a box with Barbie to a dress, uncertainly smiles). I will help. Valery (efficiently). Well here, and slavnenko! Remove the celebratory dress. (Vadim) And you the suit … Oh, excuse!. Vadim (joyfully). Yes will suffice you! (Deliberately peevishly) One hardly to "you" has accustomed, now with the second to suffer … Give, give, girls, change clothes — I do not look. I and a hand should "change clothes" — already all muscles has delayed … Valery. And me and to change clothes there is nothing … Vadim. How there is nothing? Take my shirt from a case — than not a dressing gown? (Peevishly) You mini like!. Valery. And the truth. (Takes a shirt, there is to a bathroom) I now … Irinka (pulling together a dress through a head, remaining in a T-shirt and shorts, it is sad). Daddies, and you again drink vodka? (Specifies in bottles on a table) Vadim. Yes that you … the daughter! No! Certainly is not present! So … Tatars one have left it. Now I will throw out them!. Irinka (conspiratorially). And I of anything to the grandmother have not told about furniture—che-go-shen! Vadim. About what furniture? Irinka. Well, here about this OTHER furniture, in our apartment … Vadim. A-a, yes, yes! Well done the Present pioneer! To the grandmother while, and the truth, not necessarily is the nobility. (Reflects. Left a bathroom Valerys) Val, and how with furniture? Furniture — it! Valery (collecting hair in a bunch on a nape, it is gloomy). Will manage! He promised to me on birthday and to wedding apartment with furniture to present … Here start up now though the furniture will present — for everything, for former … Vadim. Furniture — to WEDDING? Valery (looking directly in eyes to Vadim, with a call). To wedding! Vadim in all mouth smiles. Irinka translates glazishchi from the father on Valery, too smiles. Vadim approaches to a stage. Vadim (thoughtfully). Well, that! And why also is not present?. (Its Person is bent, it peremogaet itself(himself), constrains) Anything-anything, all the Main thing will be good … — not to drink some tear! Irinka and Valery approach to Vadim from two parties, he embraces them, presses to itself. Smile. Curtain < <<(Action 2) 2003
