Sanek. For lack of a better one, as they say. What I found, I took. Will you?
Victor. No, no, no.
Sanek. As you know. Oh, did you bring the photos? Let me take a look.
Victor passes the photo.
Sanek. Oh, listen, yes. All of us. Kapets, how small everyone is. I'm still a jerk anyway. And you're red. Look over there. Your face is red in the photo for some reason.
Victor. So because Valya is standing next to me. I really liked her back then. Of course, the muzzle is red, which it should be. Look at her face, it's no better.
Sanek. Well yeah Exactly. Wait, why is it red?
Victor. Because Serega Khvostov is standing next to her on the other side, she was in love with him.
Sanek. Yeah, that's right, I remember something like that. And now you don't like Valyukha?
Victor. What are you doing? So many years have passed. I haven't seen her since graduation. Just like you, by the way. In general, I haven't met almost any of the guys since then. My parents immediately went abroad, but I returned only a couple of years ago. My sister and my family and I were also drawn to our native lands.
Sanek. Wait, so your sister's husband is a foreigner?
Victor. That's right, but he took the idea of moving normally. A fairly flexible person in this regard. Where the wife goes, he goes. But their son, of course, was not very eager to leave his native penates. For him, his homeland is there. His friends are there, his whole life is there. Moreover, the character is rebellious, the age is again difficult. He was thirteen then, and the other day they celebrated his fifteenth birthday.
Sanek. It's all clear, but what about the language barrier?
Victor. My sister's husband and son knew something, but they had already trained the rest. This is when you learn a language from a textbook — it is difficult. And when you just come to a country and start living there, immerse yourself in the culture, in the whole atmosphere, then the language is mastered quickly. Especially when there is someone to tell. My sister and I have been through this ourselves. It's not really a problem.
Sanek. Yes, business… So you're a polyglot now?
Victor. What are you doing? Two languages is not a polyglot, it is, in fact, the minimum norm. That's it, then. We came here, settled down, and then everything slowly started spinning, rushed. And with our guys, fortunately, I still had contacts with someone, corresponded occasionally on social networks. networks. They included you in the Odnoklassniki group, and they gave you your contacts. However, you know this, I told you briefly, we've already called each other. Let's meet and talk. Oh, I missed everyone.
Sanek. And I haven't missed you at all.
Victor. And then why did Sanek volunteer to organize the meeting?
Yes, because you will type all sorts of stuff without me, and you will sit at random. I am not eager to look at overweight classmates and classmates who have achieved more in life than I have, and even now, I must admit, you are terribly annoying. You're sitting all statuesque, expensively dressed. I endure, I hold on with the last of my strength. But what is a meeting of classmates without a class leader?
Victor. Fair. I'm sorry that you have to put up with me, I'll try not to burden you with myself for a long time. Here is a list of those who will come. Let's go through the groceries, the booze. You see our people, you know who prefers what.
Sanek. I know, yes. We were going to meet not so long ago. Without you, really.
Victor. That's right, I was living in another country back then.
Sanek. Wait, where did you decide to meet? Which cafe? Is it the same place as last time?
Victor. Why do we need a cafe? I bought a house. We'll celebrate the housewarming at once, and the meeting of our graduation.
Sanek. Are you deliberately pissing me off?
Victor. I'm sorry, I didn't think of that.
Sanek. Is the house big?
Victor. One hundred and forty squares.
Sanek. After all, on purpose!
Victor. You just asked, I answered.
Sanek. And why do you need a hundred and forty squares? It's so much to pay for heating, so much for electricity!
Victor looks at Sanka skeptically.
Sanek. Oh, yeah, you're like a Millener.
Victor. Something like that.
Sanek whispers something unpleasant to the side.
Victor. Be patient, I'll be leaving soon. Write down who prefers what, and I'll stop torturing you.
Sanek. Yes, sit down already. Ah, life. One is everything, the other is nothing.
Victor. I'm sorry, but what did you do to make sure you had everything?
Sanek. So! Come on, you know, this… So, the girls mostly drink wine. We need to take red and white. Some people respect beer. I'll write you what it is now. (He writes). Guys don't all drink vodka, but you need to take a couple of bottles. Four is possible. Five is better. There are several juices, to wash down. And… yes, in general, that's all. Ah! For food. (He writes). So I wrote down the address for you here, they make delicious salads there, and in general it's better to take ready-made dishes there. They cook great. And what exactly I eat, take it to your taste. I don't think anyone will ask any questions. Do this, and I'll look for some attributes of our adolescence, I'll throw in music from those years, I'll make a selection. To listen, to dance there in your mansions will be where and on what?
Victor. Everything will be.
Sanek. Well, that's it then.
Victor. Good. Okay, I'll go.
Victor stands up.
Sanek. Hold on. Tell me about your house. Interesting.
Anna enters out of breath.
Anna. Hello everyone!
Victor. Hello.
Sanek. Oh, Anyut, hello. What are you doing so early?
Anna. The water in the kindergarten was turned off. More in the morning. So far, all the kids have been sorted out. I would have come even earlier.
Sanek. M. It is clear. (To Victor). This is Anya, I told you about her, they're filming here with Ksyukha.
Anna. Anya, it's a pleasure.
Victor. Nice to meet you, Anya, I'm Victor. Victor is allowed.
Sanek. Anya works as a kindergarten teacher here nearby. And Victor… Vitek, who do you work for? I still haven't asked.
Victor. Businessman.
Sanek. What are you doing?
Victor. I have a construction holding company.
Anna. Wow!
Victor. No, Anya, don't think that I'm a market shark. It's not that serious. I am not an oligarch. We build small houses. One — two — maximum three floors. A lot of people are now fleeing from apartments, so we are just working for those who want to live in their own house.
Anna. Oh, yeah. I've been dreaming about my home all my life. Four walls, whatever they are, are just four walls. And in her house she is her own mistress. You do what you want. If you want, put up greenhouses, if you want sheds. And in general, it's very easy to get out at any minute, you don't need to go through the entrances, floors. These steps, you're waiting for the elevator. Everyone has their own, of course, but I'm not a fan of apartments, even though I've lived in them all my life. You're doing a good job.
Victor. “thanks. I understand you perfectly and share your views. But your work is very serious and responsible.
Anna. Judging by the salary, no.
Victor. Perhaps I have to agree here.
Sanek. Oh, it's just a small talk we've got here, where to go. What do you "YOU" say to each other? Let's keep it simple. Still their own. Vityukha is my classmate. We have a reunion coming up, we are forming a menu.
Anna. M… great.
Sanek. So you're a shoemaker without boots? You build houses, but you bought them for yourself anyway. What? Are you building badly?
Victor. That's not the point. Construction is time, after all. You need to live somewhere. I filmed it first. And recently, a good offer appeared on the market. Thirty minutes from the city center. It was a sin not to use it. Then I'll build myself the one I want, and I'll sell this one, I'll earn a few more million on the difference.
