Act one
1. Svetlana's apartment
In apartment heroes utter chaos, mess and devastation.
Scattered things, chairs lying around, broken dishes with remnants of food on the floor. The table is on its side.
On TV there is a porn video movie. Not in sight, but heard characteristic ahs and cries.
On the couch in an embrace with a floor lamp is a man in a ridiculous pose, asleep.
He's wearing only a pair of barely-there underpants and one sock.
In the man's hand is an unfinished bottle.
Svetlana, who has returned from work, enters the apartment.
SVETLANA (in shock): Your same mother…
Goes through the apartment, pushing boots the passage of debris.
Turns off the porn movie.
SVETLANA: I was only gone for a day. After all, before the change of General cleaning did.
Draws attention to her husband sleeping on the couch.
She looks at him fondly.
Touching puts his hands to his chest, bows his head, smiles like a newborn.
She approaches him slowly, stepping carefully so as not to Wake him.
Tenderly, he spends a tremulous look from the top of his head to the sock hanging from his leg.
Changes dramatically in the face and the action starts impulsively to beat it, her husband's purse.
SVETLANA: the Scum, the parasite all my life I ruined! How many can be tolerate this mockery. How long can you sit on the neck of his wife! No work, no housework! Only all you spend, you soil and you destroy!
Svetlana falls to her knees in hysterics next to the sofa, begins to cry.
Slowly, reluctantly, her husband, Kesha, wakes up, completely unaware that he was severely punished by the ladies ' attribute on the back and everything else.
KESHA (mooing, incoherent drunken speech): Uuu… beloved came. I've missed you so much. Come to me quickly, I love you…
Svetlana hits her husband's purse on the head, he disco
SVETLANA (to the viewer): and so it's been almost eight years. Well, that's what to do with it? I threw him out and threw him out and filed for divorce… nothing helps! Damn flint!
She gets up from the floor, begins to put things away, and a newspaper falls into her hands. He reads the a
SVETLANA: I will Bring out bedbugs, cockroaches, husband!
Looks on the viewer utterly without of emotions. He shakes his head, reads aloud again.
SVETLANA: I will Bring out bedbugs, cockroaches, husband!
Looks at the viewer again without emotions. And suddenly her face begins to spread in a wide insidious smile.
Looks at the drunken Murlo lying on the couch.
He pulls out his phone, starts calling the number in the ad.
SVETLANA: Hello? Hello! I'm on the ad. Yes. Hello. Yes, your services are required. Would like to withdraw. No, there are no roaches. No, no bedbugs either. Here, the husband is just there, and I would like to avoid. Let's meet. Write.
He finds a scrap of paper somewhere near at hand, writes down the address.
SVETLANA: I Understand. Good. I'll be there in an hour, everything and discuss!
She hangs up, tidies herself, picks up her purse, and leaves the apartment with a businesslike air.
The stage lights go out.
2. Cafe
When the light comes on, there is a table on the stage, we emit a meeting in a cafe.
At the table sits Nikita, a nice guy with a prepossessing appearance, drinking coffee.
Svetlana enters the stage.
The guy waves his hand at her.
Svetlana waves back, goes to the table.
SVETLANA: Is that you?
NIKITA: Hello, are you Svetlana?
SVETLANA: and you Nikita?
NIKITA: Yes, Hello, sit down, please.
Svetlana evaluates with disbelief looks at the guy. He looks very young, fresh.
Nikita notices this look and nods his head in understanding.
NIKITA: I Understand your dumb question. Well, I can answer that. I am twenty-eight years of age, young enough in most minds to deal with matters of this nature, but no complaints have yet been received. I can give contacts of my clients so that you hear real feedback about my work.
SVETLANA: Listen, I assume that cockroaches and someone else…
NIKITA: Klopov!
SVETLANA: Here! Bedbugs and cockroaches you are able to etch, any chemistry now is, it's not a problem, but how are you going to etch her husband? What kind of ad is this? Who invented this?
NIKITA: it is Not uncommon for husbands to cause much more trouble and even harm to the house, nerves, neighbors and, for that matter, society, than cockroaches and bedbugs. And judging by the fact that you're here, you know it as well as I do!
Svetlana thinks. Understands how the exact words the guy who appreciates a nodding of the head.
NIKITA: But in order to effectively, and most importantly – competently get rid of her husband, I need to have the facts about him. To study the weaknesses so that they can be used for the benefit of the common cause.
SVETLANA: Are you speaking for the benefit of the common cause? For me-perhaps for you-of course it is your bread, but what good will it do my husband? He'll be lost without me, won't he?" It was because I felt sorry for him that I couldn't get rid of him on my own. Live a long time as neighbors, wasting your time on him, and throw the hand does not rise.
Svetlana thinks, complements.
SVETLANA: And what kind of hand will rise, with his nailed to the couch weighing a good eighty-five kilograms.
NIKITA: Explain what the benefits from this arrangements will directly your husband?
SVETLANA: it would be Interesting to know.
NIKITA: No problem, I'll explain. The reasons why women no longer want to lead a life together with their once chosen one are quite trivial and typical. Cold feelings are not always the root of the problem. It's more of a consequence. And the reason, as a rule, is a lot of little things.
SVETLANA: Little things? When a husband sits on his wife's neck and parasites for pleasure, is it a trifle?
NIKITA: this is a consequence.
SVETLANA: the Consequence of what?
NIKITA: a Consequence of the fact that once you let him sit on your neck. Maybe from the first day of acquaintance, and maybe as a result of not quite successful overcoming of any crisis in family relations. Crises always exist, but they are not always successfully resolved.
SVETLANA: So what a plus will my husband be from the fact that I am… we… turnem, after all?
NIKITA: He will finally come out of the vicious circle into which he has driven himself. His comfort zone would collapse and he would face a different worldview. Partly with the one you see. He will look at his life from a different angle, draw certain conclusions… perhaps not true, but, nevertheless will make, and will begin to change. In my experience, about half of the couples we diligently separate come together after a while by mutual desire. I'll explain how it works. It's simple. The problem is revealed, there is full contact, as the inevitability of being resolved. And in a changed form, people are again ready to continue the joint path through life.
