[K-II-4]

[Deemer]

(Ilya joins Masha in the kitchen and takes the vodka bottle away from her.)

ILYA: What are you doing drinking at this hour? (He takes a big swig from the bottle.) I get no appreciation around here. Who do they think I am?

MASHA: Who? What's the matter with you?

ILYA: I just quit.

MASHA: You quit your job?

ILYA: Under protest. Irina expects horses, when I have no horses available for her. She and your mother want to go shopping. They expect me to stop the harvest so they can go shopping.

MASHA: How can you quit? What will you do?

ILYA: Sorin can't manage without me. I just want a little respect around here.

MASHA: What will you do?

ILYA: I will wait for an apology!

(He starts out.)

MASHA: Now where are you going?

ILYA: To take a swim!

MASHA: Are you crazy?

(He leaves. Masha follows him out of the kitchen, then turns into the living room.)
