Sets in 1940
Alexei: (stares at a photo of beautiful woman with flower brooch) Whoa who is she, Vadik? Seems I ever saw her?
Vadim: Tatiana. The ballet girl in the ensemble, and the one that I loved, of course! I've been hanging out with her after work few times. (Pocketing the photo back to his shirt pocket)
Alexei: She is really a beauty. How lucky you were! I'm waiting for the wedding invitation! (wink)
Vadim: (Shaking his head) But... too bad, Lyosha. Her parents already arranged marriage for her. I wish I could be sooner to met her parents, but a week too late...
Alexei: Why? Is it because you wasting your time only giving her hopes, not the realization?
Vadim: Eh, the matchmaking happened when we were busy preparing for concert in Voronezh last month. I can't stop her parents while I'm plucking domra and she's practicing ballet, you know!
Alexei: Ah.. okay, okay! Sorry for misunderstanding!
Vadim: But still, you're right. Why didn't I just met her parents right away before anything?
Dmitry: (entering recreation room together with Vasily) Hey what's the matter, Vadik? You looked blue.
Alexei: He fell in love with a girl who was already had arranged marriage with other guy.
Vasily: (crisp laugh) Now, Why don't you just cheat onto her, Vadik?
Vadim: You're crazy. I'm not that insane!
Vasily: Then you must be a newbie to win girls heart!
Vasily: You see, this cheating is more efficient! I'll tell you how. Now let's demonstrate.
Vasily: As example Dima is the girl that I loved and Alyosha is our rival.
Dmitry & Alexei: What the-
Vasily: Person who did secret affair usually hid their relationship behind the back. Make a secret meeting and other things. But I had the better idea so you won't get any guilty for hiding those. Just doing this IN FRONT OF THEM! (snatch Dmitry and pretend to kiss cheek) Don't forget to smack your rival! (punch Alexei's stomach)
Alexei: ACK!! (fell to the floor)
Vadim: ........ (twitching both of his eyes)
Vasily: Then bring her to those parents and talk about new spouse for marriage! I could help you kick her father if he doesn't agree with you!
Dmitry/Vadim/Alexei: (approach Vasily with death glare)
Vasily: Eh... guys?
(few minutes later)
Vasily: NO! NOT MY EXPENSIVE CIGARETTE! (pinned down by Vadim and Alexei)
Dmitry: Fedya, Vasya said you can have all of it! (giving one pack of Zabek cigarettes with full smile)
Fyodor: (blushed and smiled) Oh, really? Thank you very much!
