How do you keep her angry?

I have my methods.

OK. And your husband?

What do you mean?

What I mean?.. is he a tennis player, too? Is he in Mixing Part as well?

Mixing Part?

Oh, that's what I call this place.

I see.

So is your husband here?

No, no. Working.

So he is a working man?

Absolutely.

Is he... let me guess... something with oil? Gaz­prom? Is he an oligark?

No, he is not.

Right.

And your wife?

At the Zugspitze.

OK.

So you see a lot of theatre?

My husband loves theatre, Anastasia loves thea­tre, I love theatre.

Fantastic. What kind of theatre do you see?

Chekov, Mayakovsky, Bulgakov, Shakespeare, but also modern things, like Harold Pinter, Sarah Kane. We see everything. You know Sarah Kane?

Do I know Sarah Kane? Ha! I feel like laughing. Do you mind if I laugh?

Not at all.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Do I know Sarah Kane? I not only know her. I love her. She is pure theatre. I love Sarah Kane more than myself!

OK?

Yes.

You love her more than yourself?

Well... No... I... got carried away. It was... I dont know. I just felt like saying it. But I like her a lot.

I understand.

Thank you.

I think our daughters are finished now.

Ok.

So maybe we see each other another day.

Yes. My name is Telemann.

I am Jelena.

Как вам Цугшпитце?

Бесподобно! Мы побывали на самой высокой вершине Германии.

Понятно.

И оттуда видно далеко-далеко вглубь Австрии.

И что видно — везде скопления людей в форме?

Пожалуйста, будь так добр...

А вы купили на память наци-китча?

Телеман, по-моему, это не смешно.

Ты права.

А ты?

Да — а я?

Много написал?

Я записал четыре или пять слов.
