Olga. I won’t. Besides, I have no time now.
Golyshkin. Are you in a hurry, Olenka? And you are not going to have tea with me, as usual?
Olga. I have to visit a dozen of other patients. And very few of them feel as good as you do, professor. Remember, I'm the district nurse, not your personal one.
Golyshkin. But are you going to come tomorrow, Olenka?
Olga. Tomorrow? Maybe. Or perhaps, another nurse would come. There are a lot of good nurses in our clinic, professor. And I'm far from the best.
Golyshkin. But I've got so used to you, Olenka! And any other does not suit me.
Olga. In our life we often have to put up with something, Stalver Udarpyatovich. Don't you know this?!
Golyshkin. But, Olenka… Are you offended?
Olga. Not at all! Goodbye professor. And don't see me off. I’ll find the way myself. I know it quite well. Hopefully, I am not going to meet any ghosts on the way. If only your son. But he's not that scary, is he?
Olga leaves the office. Rodion meets her at the door.
Olga. Wouldn’t you like to tell me anything? I can see your happy face. Was your talk successful?
Rodion. You can't even imagine how successful it was! So, tonight my pockets will be full of cash like … I will be rich like King Solomon!
Olga. I think he was wise, not rich.
Rodion. But what about his diamond mines?! And his throne of pure gold and ivory on which he used to seat?!
Olga. Okay, you can tell me everything later, all about the diamond mines of King Solomon, and about your conversation with the mysterious guest of the professor.
Rodion. Are we going to meet today?
Olga. Of course, my goofy boy! Do you really think I would let you spend all the money on yourself?
Rodion. See you tonight then?
Olga. I told you that. Now let me go. It is no good to prevent a woman from fulfilling her professional duty.
Rodion. And what about tonight?
Olga. What about tonight?
Rodion. Will you be off duty then?
Olga. After work? Of course not. Definitely, you're really stupid. What are you so happy about? For being stupid?
Rodion. Because I will see you soon again. And you will no longer say that I am a boy.
Olga. Let’s wait and see.
Rodion. And what about your goodbye kiss?
Olga. Here's a blown kiss to you, my naughty boy. So far, be happy with it. And tonight…
Rodion. And tonight?!
Olga. Oh! It depends on what you tell me when we meet.
Olga leaves. Rodion jumps high, doing a somersault with his feet in the air, and hides in one of the rooms. Golyshkin looks out of his office warily. Seeing no one, he hides behind the door again.
