Semyon: "Aww come on, Vanya! You're not cute when being gloomy."

Ivan: "How can I'm not being gloomy, for my wife always argued with me after work?"

Semyon: "Well what did you do so she mad at you?"

Ivan: "Nothing! But she always thought I'm trying to cheat on her. After she saw how our member usually getting close with ballerina or other female who likes our performance." (drinks glass of whiskey again)

Ivan: "Many times! But still she kept suspicious. I still love her. Yet she seems really hating me and makes me questioned my love to her..."
