Act I

Koka Briansky: I'm getting married today.

Mother: What?

Koka Briansky: I'm getting married today!

Mother: What?

Koka Briansky: I said I'm getting married today.

Mother: What did you say?

Koka Briansky: To – day – ma – rried!

Mother: Ma? What's ma?

Koka Briansky: Ma – rri – age!

Mother: Idge? What's this idge?

Koka Briansky: Not idge, but ma – rri – age!

Mother: What do you mean, not idge?

Koka Briansky: Yes, not idge, that's all!

Mother: What?

Koka Briansky: Yes, not idge. Do you under-stand?! Not idge!

Mother: You're on about that idge again. I don't know what idge's got to do with.

Koka Briansky: Oh blow you! Ma and idge! What's up with you? Don't you realise yourself that saying just ma is senseless.

Mother: What did you say?

Koka Briansky: Ma, I said, is senseless!

Mother: Sle?

Koka Briansky: What on earth is all this! How can you possibly manage to catch only bits of words, and only the most absurd bits at that: sle! Why sle in particular?

Mother: There you go again – sle.

Koka Briansky throttles his Mother. Enter his fiancee Marusia.
