Anastasia. Daughter, cook sausages, it doesn't seem like lunch yet, but I want to eat. We had breakfast early today.

Liza. Yes, Mom, it's okay. I wouldn't mind it myself. How old are you?

Anastasia. Three things, that's enough.

Yasha. So, what's the fuss here? Did you use the sausages?

Liza. They let me in.

Yasha. Great, Liza, throw a couple at me.

Liza. Easily.

Yasha. Ah! What? Are you crazy?

Anastasia. Yasha, did you make a noise?

Yasha. Lizka threw sausages on my head!

Liza. I asked for it myself.

Yasha. Are you turning on a fool? Is this the first time you've heard the expression? For my share, throw two pieces in a saucepan!

Liza. I would have said so right away.

Yasha. That's what I said!

Anastasia. Children, don't quarrel!

Yasha. And we don't quarrel. It's just that my sister has become too playful. Too playful moods began to prevail.

Liza. What do you mean?

Yasha. That's what I have! Seryozha's out, he's looked through all the windows, and now my friend has started coming to visit me, just to see Lisa. And Lisa is playing with them, juggling! I tried out the power of female charm over helpless male feelings.

Liza. It's not true! I'm not juggling with anyone!

Yasha. Yeah. They stick to you.

Liza. Yes, by yourself!

Yasha. They don't stick to Katyusha. She always comes to visit alone. I haven't found anyone for myself, but she'll be six years older, and mind you, she's not scarier than you!
