College love drama, reflecting the beauty of love, about ten minutes.

The stage is divided into left and right parts. On the right is the living room, and in the middle and back of the living room are the main entrance and the small hall. On the left is the bedroom and balcony, both on the same floor. A short flight of stairs leads to the bedroom door. The kitchen is at the end. There is a table with a long velvet tablecloth on the left wall of the living room. The table is in the center of the stage, and there is a cupboard in the small hall. The decoration in the room is elegant and comfortable.

Sarah is cleaning the ashtray in the living room. It was a morning, and she was wearing a bright and elegant dress. Richard went into the bedroom from the bathroom on the far left of the stage, picked up his briefcase from the cupboard, walked up to Sarah and kissed her on the cheek. He smiled at Sarah, and Sarah smiled back. Richard (kindly) Will your lover come today?

Sarah: Hmm. ...

Richard: When will it arrive?

Sarah: Three o'clock.

Richard: Are you going to go out together ... or stay at home?

Sarah: Ah … I'm going to stay at home.

Richard: I thought you were going to see that exhibition.

Sarah: I want to go to the exhibition, but … on second thought, I'd better stay at home.

Richard. oh Well, I should go to work.

He walked into the hall or put on his hat.

Richard, do you think he will stay long?

Sarah, um ...

Richard, about ... six o'clock, something like that.

Sarah, it's almost done.

Richard had a good time in the afternoon.

Sarah. Yes

Goodbye, Richard.

Bye, Sarah.

(Richard opens the door and leaves. Sarah went on cleaning the room.

(The lights are dimming.

(Turn bright. Good evening. Sarah walked from the kitchen into the living room. She is still wearing the same clothes as in the morning, but she has put on a pair of high heels. She poured a glass of wine, sat on the reclining sofa and leafed through a magazine. The clock struck six, and Richard came into the room through the front door, still wearing his plain suit in the morning. He put his briefcase in the hall and went into the living room. Sarah smiled at him and poured him a glass of whisky.

Richard is back.

He kissed Sarah on the cheek, picked up the cup, handed it to Sarah Evening News, and sat down on her left. Sarah took the newspaper and sat on the reclining sofa.

Richard, thank you

He drank wine, leaned back on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.

Richard.

Sarah is tired?

Richard is a little.

Sarah, there's a traffic jam on the road?

Richard is not crowded. It's good.

Sarah, that's good.

Richard is very successful.

(pause.

Sarah, you came back a little late today.

Richard, right?

Sarah only has a little.

There was a traffic jam on Richard Bridge for some time.

Sarah stands up, walks to the wine table, picks up her cup and sits down on the sofa.

Did Richard have a good time today?

Sarah. Yes Went to the village in the morning.

Richard, right? Who did you meet?

Sarah didn't meet anyone. I haven't met anyone I know. I only had lunch there.

Richard is eating in the village?

Sarah: Yes.

Richard, is the food delicious?

Sarah's fine.

(He sits down.

How did Richard play this afternoon? Are you happy?

Of course Sarah is happy.

Richard, your lover, is he here?

Sarah: Yes, I'm coming.

Richard showed him your hollyhocks?

(pause.

Sarah hollyhock?

Richard. Yes

Sarah didn't. I didn't show him.

Richard. oh

Sarah, should I let him do it?

Richard: no, no. I only remember you saying that he likes growing flowers.

Sarah: Well, he likes growing flowers. (pause) But I don't particularly like it.

Richard. oh (pause) Did you go out to play or stay at home?

Sarah stayed at home.

Richard. oh (He looks at the soft venetian blind) There is something wrong with the curtains.

Sarah was right. It's a little rough

(pause.

Richard, the sun is shining on the road. Of course, the sun had already set when I hit the road. But this room is warm enough in the afternoon, and it is quite warm in the city.

Sarah, is it?

Richard is very sexy. I feel warm everywhere.

Sarah, I think it's very hot.

Did Richard forecast the weather on the radio?

Sarah reported it.

(pause.

Richard, would you like another drink before dinner?

Sarah. Yes

(Richard pours the wine.

Richard, did you put down the blinds this afternoon?

Sarah was released by us.

Richard, the light is too strong.

Sarah is very strong, too strong to be comfortable.

Richard, something is wrong with this room. When the sun shines, it is always exposed to direct sunlight. Why don't you change rooms?

Sarah hasn't changed. We have been staying in this room.

Richard, the sun must be dazzling.

Sarah, why else would we put down the curtains?

(pause.

Richard, is it too hot to put down the curtains?

Sarah, do you think so?

Richard may not be hot, but putting down the curtains makes people feel hotter.

Sarah, that's possible.

(pause

What did you do this afternoon?

Richard has a long meeting, which is endless.

Sarah has cold food for dinner. Can you make it?

Richard is fine. It's okay.

Sarah, I don't seem to have time to ask about cooking today.

She went to the kitchen.

Richard Oh, wait ... I want to ask you something first.

Sarah, what's wrong?

Richard, when you were busy trysting with your lover all afternoon, did it ever occur to you that your husband was settling accounts at the desk in the office? Have you thought about it?

Sarah, what an interesting question.

Richard no, I'm curious.

Sarah, you have never asked me such a question.

Richard but, I've always wanted to know this.

(pause.

Sarah, of course I thought of it.

Richard, really?

Sarah. Yes

(pause.

Richard: By contrast, how do you feel?

Sarah is getting more and more interesting.

Richard, really?

Sarah, that's right.

Richard, you mean, when you were with him ... did you ever think that I would settle accounts at my desk?

Sarah just ... just thinks about you sometimes.

Richard, of course.

Sarah hasn't missed you all afternoon.

Richard, it's natural.

Sarah occasionally.

Richard: Well, anyway, I'm not completely forgotten.

Sarah can't forget it.

Richard, that's so touching.

(pause.

Sarah, how could I forget you?

Richard, it's simple.

Sarah, the house I live in is yours.

Richard is seeing someone else.

Sarah, I love you.

Richard. What?

Sarah, I love you.

(pause. Richard looked at Sarah and handed her the cup.

Richard, another drink.

(Sarah steps forward. Richard withdrew his glass hand, and he stared at Sarah's shoes.

Richard, what shoes are you wearing?

Sarah, right?

Richard, I've never seen these shoes before. The heels are so high.

Sarah (muttering to herself) is wearing it wrong. I'm really sorry.

Richard (not listening to Sarah) Excuse me? Sorry. What?

Sarah, I'm ... I'm taking off my shoes.

Richard, these shoes are not comfortable to wear at home at night.

Sarah walked into the hall, opened the cupboard, threw high heels in, and then put on a pair of flat shoes. Richard goes to the drinks table. Pour yourself a glass of wine. Sarah went to the table in the center of the stage and lit a cigarette.

Richard: So, have you ever thought about me sitting in my office this afternoon?

Sarah thought of it. But the scene is not very convincing.

Richard: Oh, then why?

Sarah, why? Because I know you're not in the office, and I know you have a tryst with your mistress.

(pause.

Richard, right?

(pause.

Sarah, aren't you hungry?

Richard ate a lot for lunch.

Sarah, what's the problem?

(Richard stands at the window.

Richard, the sunset is beautiful.

Sarah, did you go to your mistress or not?

(Richard turns around and smiles.

Richard, what mistress?

Sarah Richard, you ...

Richard, it's nothing. It's just that the word you chose is too strange.

Sarah, is it? Why? (pause) I'll tell you the truth. Why can't you say anything to me?

Richard, I have no mistress. I know a prostitute very well, but I have no mistress. Prostitutes and mistresses are different.

Sarah's whore?

Richard (picks up an olive) Yes. Just an ordinary kiln sister. Not worth mentioning. Get in and out of the car. Anything on call in the air. No intimate relationship at all.

Sarah, you don't take the train. You drive to and from work.

Richard. Yes However, cars also have to refuel and add water, so it is not difficult to squeeze out some cocoa.

(pause.

Sarah sounds boring.

Richard, you are wrong.

(pause.

Sarah, I didn't expect you to admit it right away.

Why doesn't Richard admit it? I didn't say it before, because you never asked me so directly. You have to be honest and desperate to ensure a happy marriage, right?

Sarah is absolutely right.

Richard, do you agree with this view?

Sarah totally agrees.

Richard: I mean, you have nothing to hide from me?

Sarah is absolutely real.

Richard, you have been honest with your lover enough. I want to learn from you.

Sarah, it's my pleasure (pause) To tell you the truth, I have long suspected that you have a lover.

Richard, really?

Sarah. Yes

Richard has a good eye.

Sarah, to be honest, I never believed that she would ... the kind of woman you said.

What did Richard say?

Sarah, this is impossible. You have a high eye socket, and what you can see must be an elegant and quiet woman.

Richard is even smarter.

Sarah: Yes, smart.

Richard is very clever. Intelligence is a very important condition in men's eyes.

Sarah, your girl, is she smart?

Richard (laughs) is smart, elegant and quiet. She has nothing to do with these words. How can a wise man like you ask such a question? What does it matter whether that prostitute is clever or not? At best, she is just a prostitute. That kind of thing either makes you satisfied or makes you unhappy.

Sarah, did she satisfy you?

Richard may be satisfied today. Tomorrow? You can't promise anyone.

He took off his coat and went to the bedroom.

Sarah, I didn't expect your attitude towards women to be so amazing.

Richard should have thought of it. I'm not looking for another you. I'm not looking for a woman I respect as much as you, a woman I admire and admire as much as you, right? All I need is ... how to put it ... just a sexy woman who can indulge herself and stimulate sexual desire.

He went into the bedroom, hung his coat in the closet and put on his slippers.

(In the living room, Sarah put down her glass, hesitated a little, and then went into the bedroom.

Sarah, I'm sorry that your affair is not elegant.

Richard's elegance lies in my marriage.

Sarah has no feelings either.

Richard's feelings are all in marriage, and I have never looked for any elegant feelings outside. You have all these wonderful things.

Sarah, then why did you go out looking for something?

Richard, what did you say?

Sarah, then why ... why ... why do you want to have fun elsewhere?

Richard honey, if you can be happy, why can't I?

(pause.

Sarah, which of us cheated first?

Richard, you.

Sarah was wrong.

Richard, who do you think it is?

Sarah looks at Richard and smiles.

(turn dark. The moonlight shines on the balcony. It's all dark.

(Richard walks into the bedroom in his pajamas. He picked up a book and flipped through it. Sarah came out of the bathroom in her pajamas. There is a double bed in the bedroom. Sarah sat in front of the dresser and began to comb her hair.

Sarah Richard.

Richard, right?

Sarah, when you were with her ... did you miss me?

Richard, a little, not much. (pause) We talked about you.

Sarah, you talked to her about me?

Richard sometimes. She thinks this topic is quite funny.

Salad flirting?

Richard (picks up a book) Mm-hmm.

Sarah, what are you whispering about me?

Richard is careful. Speaking of you, it's like playing with an antique music box. Whenever you want to be happy, just talk for a while.

Sarah, this scene really makes me sick.

Richard doesn't want to make you happy. I am very happy.

Sarah is right, I know.

Richard (sitting on the bed) Of course, you have enough fun in the afternoon, and you don't want to take away extra happiness from my pastime, do you?

Sarah: No, I don't want to go.

Richard, then why do you ask so many questions?

Sarah, you didn't ask first. Asked me so much ... said so much about my extramarital affairs. You didn't dig so hard before.

Richard is purely objective and curious, that's all. (puts his hand on Sarah's shoulder) Do you think I'm jealous?

Sarah smiled. She caressed Richard's hand.

Sarah, honey, I know you're never jealous.

Richard, as God is my witness, I never thought of it that way.

He grasped Sarah's shoulder tightly.

What about you? Aren't you jealous?

Sarah won't. After listening to the nurse you just mentioned, I feel that my life is much better than yours.

Richard may. (She opens the window, stands at the window and looks out) It's so quiet. Come and have a look.

(Sarah walks up to him.

(Two people stand side by side in silence.

Richard, if I come home early one day, I don't know what I will see.

(pause

Sarah, I don't know what will happen if I follow you one day.

(pause

Richard, maybe we can get together and have tea in the village.

Why did Sarah go to the village? Isn't it nice here?

Richard, here? You are really great. (Pause) Your poor lover may never enjoy this window night.

Sarah, no. He must leave before the sun goes down.

Richard, will these damn afternoons bore him to death? And endless afternoon tea. If I were you, I would be bored to death. There is always a pot of milk and a pot of tea to make love with you, which is absolutely disappointing.

Sarah, he has a good temper. Besides, if you put down the curtains, this day will become night.

Richard, that's right (pause) What did he say about your husband?

(pause.

Sarah, he respects you very much.

(pause.

Richard's words really touched me. But I'm a little inexplicably moved. Now I understand why you love him so much.

Sarah, he can really hurt people.

Richard, um ...

Of course, Sarah sometimes loses her temper.

Richard, there's no one who doesn't lose his temper.

Sarah said from the bottom of her heart that he was really cute. He exudes love all over.

Richard is disgusting.

Sarah is not at all.

Richard, I hope he has a man's body.

Sarah is a real man.

Richard sounds boring.

Sarah is very interesting. (pause) His sense of humor is very pleasing.

Richard, that's great. He makes you laugh, right? But you should be careful not to let your neighbors hear you. I don't want people talking about it.

(pause.

Living in this secluded place is good for Sarah. It's far from the road, and it's very secluded.

Richard, that's right

(They go back to the bedroom and go to bed. Richard picked up the book, turned it over, then closed it and put it aside.

Richard is boring.

He turned off the bedside lamp beside him. Sarah turned off her light, too.

The moonlight poured down on the ground.

Richard, is he married?

Sarah is married.

Is Richard happy?

Sarah. Yes (pause) Aren't you happy, too? Aren't you jealous at all?

Richard is not jealous.

Sarah, okay. Richard, everything in the world is always so harmonious.

(fade out.

(Turn bright. Good morning. Sarah put on her dressing gown in the bedroom and began to make the bed.

Sarah, honey. (pause) Will the scissors be ready this morning?

Richard (on the side of the bathroom) What?

Sarah scissors.

Richard, not this morning.

(Richard puts on his suit. He kissed Sarah on the cheek.

Richard can't use it until Friday. All right, bye.

Richard leaves the bedroom and picks up his hat and briefcase in the hall.

Sarah Richard.

(Richard turns around.

Sarah, you won't come back too early today, will you?

Richard, you mean he will come again today? Interesting enough. I just came yesterday and will come again today.

Sarah: Yes.

Richard: Well, I won't go home early today. I'm going to the National Gallery to see the exhibition.

Sarah is just right.

Goodbye, Richard.

Bye, Sarah.

(The lights are dim.

(The light is on. Good afternoon. Sarah walked down the stairs and into the living room. She wore a black low-cut tights and took a quick look in the mirror. She suddenly noticed that she was still wearing flat shoes, so she hurried to the front of the cabinet and put on high heels. Then I looked in the mirror and went to the window. She put down venetian blind, opened the curtain and closed it again, only letting a ray of light enter the room through the window. The clock struck three times. Sarah looked at her watch and went to the vase on the table. The doorbell rang. She answered the door, and John, the milkman, stood outside.

John, do you want some whipped cream?

Sarah, you are late today.

John, do you want whipped cream?

Sarah, no.

John, have some.

Sarah has more at home. Do I still owe you money for milk?

John, buy some. It is very thick. Mrs Owen just bought three cans.

Sarah, do I owe you money?

John should not pay for the milk until Saturday.

Sarah (taking milk) Thank you.

John, more whipped cream. Mrs Owen ordered three cans.

Sarah, I don't want it, thanks.

Sarah closed the door and approached the kitchen with milk. She picked up a tea tray and walked onto the stage with a teapot and teacups on it. She put the tea tray on the coffee table next to the couch, adjusted the flowers on the table a little, sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, put her legs down, lifted them up and put them on the sofa, and adjusted the stockings under her skirt. The doorbell rang. She pulled up her skirt and got up to open the door.

Salamax, you're here.

(Richard walks into the door. He is wearing a sheepskin jacket without a tie. He entered the door and stood still. Sarah closed the door, walked past him slowly, sat on the sofa and crossed her legs.

(pause.

(Richard walks slowly to the front of the sofa and stands behind Sarah. Sarah bent down, put down her legs and turned to sit in a low chair in front of her left.

(pause.

He looked at Sarah, then went to the cupboard in the hall, from where he took back a cone-shaped African drum. He put the drum on the sofa and stood in front of it.

(pause.

(Sarah stands up, walks past Richard and walks in the direction of the hall. Suddenly, she turned and looked at Richard. Richard went to the lower end of the couch, and they sat at both ends of the sofa. He began to beat the drums. Sarah's index finger crossed the drum surface and moved to Richard's hand. She grabbed the back of his hand and pulled back. Then, she beat the drums alternately with five fingers and walked towards Richard's hand while knocking. Sarah's hand stopped, and her index finger was sandwiched between Richard's fingers, fiddling with the drum head. The rest of the fingers also touched the drumhead. Richard's legs tightened and his hand gripped Sarah's hand. Sarah tried to get rid of her hand, and their fingers were mixed together, making a loud noise on the drum head.

(Suddenly it's quiet.

Sarah stood up, walked to the coffee table, lit a cigarette, and then walked to the window. Richard put the drum on the chair on the right, picked up a cigarette and leaned over to Sarah.

Max, excuse me.

Sarah glanced at him and looked away again.

Max, excuse me, can you give me a light? (Sarah doesn't answer) Do you have a light?

Sarah, can you leave me alone?

Max, what's going on (pause)? Didn't I just borrow a light from you?

Sarah walked away from him and looked at the whole room. He followed closely. Sarah turned around. Sarah, I'm sorry.

She passed him, but he still followed.

(Sarah stops.

Sarah, go away and stop following me.

Max, give me a light and I'll leave. I don't want anything else

Sarah (squeezing a word through her teeth) Go away, I'm waiting for someone.

Who is Max waiting for?

Sarah, my husband.

Max, why have you suddenly become a coward? Where is the lighter?

He touched her body. She took a deep breath.

Max is here. (pause) Where is it?

He touched her body again. She was panting.

Here?

(She pulls away. He cornered her.

Sarah (panting) What are you doing?

Max, have a cigarette. It's suffocating

Sarah is waiting for my husband!

Max, give me a light.

(two people twisted into a ball, who also don't make any noise.

She broke free and retreated to the wall.

(Silence. He's approaching.

Miss Max, are you all right? I just kicked that ... gentleman out. He didn't hurt you, did he?

Sarah, you are amazing. I'm fine. I'm fine. Thank you.

Max, you're lucky. I happened to pass by here. How surprising that such a scandal should happen in this beautiful park.

Sarah didn't expect it.

Max is fine. Finally, nothing happened.

Thanks to you, Sarah asked me to thank you in this way.

Max sat down to catch his breath and calm down.

Sarah, I'm not afraid-but ... thank you. That's very kind of you. Where shall we sit?

Max, not outside. It is raining. What do you think of taking a rest in the gardener's cabin?

Sarah, is that okay? Will the park ranger promise?

Max, I'm the park ranger.

(Two people sit down on the reclining sofa.

Sarah didn't expect to meet such a nice person as you.

Max has a bad heart for a lovely young woman like you. That guy is unforgivable.

Sarah (staring at him intently) You are too sophisticated, so ... you have a unique vision.

Max, of course.

Sarah is so elegant, really ... maybe it's a good thing.

Max, what did you say?

It happened to Sarah, but we met and became friends. You and me, you and me.

Her fingers slid over his thigh. He stared at Sarah's finger and pushed it away.

Max, I don't quite understand what you mean.

Sarah doesn't understand?

Her fingers slid over his thigh. He stared at Sarah's finger and pushed it away.

Max, listen to me. Sorry, I'm married.

Sarah grabbed his hand and put it on her lap.

Sarah, you are so cute. Don't be timid.

Max (quickly withdrawing his hand) Come on, I'm really married. My wife is still waiting for me.

Sarah, why can't you even talk to strange women?

Max, this is not working.

Sarah is depressed and bored.

Sarah, you men are all bears. Give a cigarette a cigarette.

Max, that's impossible.

Sarah. What?

Max Dolores, come here.

Sarah, I won't do it. As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. (She stands up) I won't do it. Goodbye.

Max, honey, you can't leave. The cabin is locked. It's just the two of us here. You're trapped.

Sarah is trapped. I am a married woman, you can't treat me like this.

Max (pushing Sarah) Mary, let's have tea.

Sarah rushed behind the desk to draw. She stood with her back against the wall. He walked to the other side of the table, with pants in one hand, bent down and crawled under the table to her.

He disappeared under the velvet tablecloth. Silence, she stared at the bottom of the table. The audience can't see her legs. His hand touched Sarah's thigh. Sarah looked around in pain. She gritted her teeth and gasped, slowly sinking under the table until she disappeared completely. A long silence.

(The lights are dim.

(Turn bright.

Max is sitting in the chair in the lower left corner.

(Sarah is making tea.

Sarah's voice, Max.

Max, what's wrong?

Sarah (affectionately) dear. (pause) What's the matter? What are you thinking about?

Max didn't think about anything.

Sarah wants it. I know.

(pause.

Max, where's your husband?

(pause.

Sarah, my husband? You know where he is.

Where's Max?

Sarah is working.

Max is very poor. He is not at home when he goes to work every day. (pause) What do you think he looks like?

Sarah (giggling) Ah, Max.

Max, do you think your husband and I will get along well? I wonder ... whether we two men can be friends.

Sarah can't.

Max, why?

Sarah, you two have nothing in common.

Max, really? He is a big shot. Let's meet in the afternoon. He knows that, doesn't he?

Sarah, of course.

Max, he has been famous for many years. (pause) But how can he swallow this tone?

Sarah, why are you suddenly talking about my husband? What's the use of nonsense? This is not what you often say.

Max, how can he swallow this tone?

Sarah, shut up.

Max, I just asked a question.

(pause.

Sarah, he doesn't care.

Max doesn't care? (Pause) But I'm a little concerned.

(pause.

Sarah, what did you say?

Max, I'm starting to care. (pause) It's time to call it a day. It can't go on like this.

Sarah, are you serious?

(Silence.

Max, this can't go on.

Sarah, you're kidding.

Max is not kidding.

Sarah, why? For my husband? This has nothing to do with my husband, right? There is no need to go that far.

Max: No, it has nothing to do with your husband. It's my wife.

(pause.

Sarah, your wife?

Max, I can't lie to her anymore.

Salamax ...

Max, I've been lying to her for years. I can't do this anymore, I'm dying.

Sarah, honey, you ...

Max, don't touch me

(pause.

Sarah, what did you say?

Max, you're not deaf.

(pause.

Sarah, your wife ... knows something. Didn't you tell her everything about us? She knows that. She knew all this from the beginning.

Max no, she doesn't know. She thinks I played a kiln worker. A kiln elder sister who receives guests after work knows nothing else. She thinks I am.

Sarah, here's the thing But be reasonable ... honey ... your wife won't mind, will she?

Max, but if she knew the truth, she would care.

Sarah, what's the truth? what did you say ?

Max, if she knew the truth, she would care. The truth, the truth is that I have a mistress completely for me to enjoy, a noble, elegant, intelligent and imaginative woman, a woman who trysts with me two or three times a week. ...

Sarah: Yes, you do-

Max, I have been having an affair with my mistress for many years.

Sarah doesn't care, she won't care-she's happy, very happy. (pause) Never say such nonsense again.

Sarah picked up the tea tray and went to the kitchen.

Sarah, are you trying to ruin a beautiful afternoon in another way?

(under the tea tray. Bring it back. Watch Max, stay close to Max.

Sarah, dear, can you and your wife do something happy between us? Take my husband for example, people fully appreciate my. ...

Max, how can he stand it? Your husband? How can he stand it? When he comes home at night, he always smells my breath. What did he say? He must be crazy. Hey-it's 4:30- yes, he's sitting in his office now, and he knows exactly what we're doing here. How should he feel? How can he sit still?

Salamax-

Max, how could he do this?

Sarah, my husband is happy for me. He appreciates my temperament and he understands me.

Max, maybe I should meet him and talk to him.

Sarah, are you drunk?

Max should talk to him. After all, he is also a man, just like me. We are all men, and you are just a bitch.

(Sarah knocks on the table.

Sarah, stop. What's the matter with you? What have you done? (quietly) Please stop talking, stop talking. What are you doing? Playing games?

Max game? I never play games.

Sarah, really? No, you did it. You did it. I usually like the games you play.

Max, I've played the last game.

How do you say Sarah dialect?

(pause.

Max, kids.

Sarah. What?

Max, kids. I want to think of the children.

Sarah, what child?

Max, my child, my wife's child. They will all come back from Kisumu school now. I have to think of them.

(Sarah is sitting next to him.

Sarah, I want to talk to you in private. Let's talk. Is it okay? Talk to me. That was tea just now. Is it time to whisper? (pause) Do you want me to whisper to you? Do you want me to love you and whisper to you? Don't worry about anything ... wife, husband, things that are not worth it. That's called being stupid. This is sheer stupidity. Now it's you and me. Now, here, for me, it's true. You whisper to me and have tea with me. You did it, didn't you? This is us. This is you and me. Love me.

(He stands up.

Max, you are too thin. (He walks away) That's the real reason. You got it? I can stand anything if you are not too thin. You are too thin.

Sarah, me? Too thin? Don't talk nonsense

Max, the truth.

Sarah, what am I thinking?

Max, if I move, your bones will rot in my flesh. You're covered in bones. It's annoying.

Sarah, what are you talking about?

Max told you that you are too thin.

Sarah, I'm not thin. Take a good look at me. Full enough. You used to call me fat.

Max, the past is the past. Now you are no longer plump.

Sarah, look at me.

(Max looks at Sarah.

Max, you are not plump enough. Much worse. You know what kind of woman I like. I like fat women, women with big breasts, women with fat cows and castrated cows with big breasts. Sarah should say cow. Max is not a cow, I'm talking about a bull. A big fat cow with breasts. Once upon a time, a few years ago, you were a bit like a steer.

Sarah, thank you.

Max: But now, to be honest, compared with the woman I want, you are just skin and bones ... (Max looks at Sarah).
