Olga. I forgot to tell you: Rodion asked me to tell you that he needed some time to come down his thoughts, to breathe in some fresh air. So, he left, but promised to return soon.
Golyshkin. Did he say so? Well, it's wonderful! You know, Olenka, my son is a very smart and kind boy. He will come to his senses and realize that he was wrong. He will forgive his old father and I will forgive him. And everything will be fine between us again! Am I right, Mr. Myshevsky?
Myshevsky. Sure professor, everything will be so!
Golyshkin. I'm sure of it. It just can not be any other way. Because today is such a great day for me! Maybe the happiest day in my life. I am with my true friends. The woman I love is next to me. I have many bright joyful days ahead, full of love and happiness… Dear friends! Maybe let’s have some champagne?
Myshevsky. Professor, I suggest you to sign the agreement first. And then let’s celebrate this event with champagne.
Golyshkin. Of course! Oh, forgive me, the old man! But I'm so happy that I can't think of anything. I feel, as if my spirit is soaring in the skies, looking at the sinful earth with a smile from above.
Myshevsky. Professor, please hand over the documents for the apartment to the notary. Elena Pavlovna, please start making the agreement!
Ogranovich takes a folder from Golyshkin and sitting down at the table, starts to sort out the documents. Vykhuholev plays chess in the room corner. Myshevsky approaches Olga, pointing at Golyshkin, who sits down in the armchair getting deeply into his thoughts.
Myshevsky. Don't leave him alone! That might be dangerous.
Olga. Okay… Stalver Udarpyatovich!
Golyshkin. Oh, Olenka! Why are you so official? Call me simply Stalver. Or, as my mom used to call me – Stalik.
Olga. Well, let it be Stalver so far… Stalik is a little early, don't you think?
Golyshkin. Sure, you're quite right. I'm completely lost in these buzzy events. I'm sorry! You must be annoyed that your boyfriend is such a silly guy…
Olga. Not at all, Stalver! I really admire you.
Golyshkin. Really? Listen, Olenka…
Olga. What?
Golyshkin. You will never leave the old man who is in love with you won’t you?
Olga. No I won’t, until the death separates us. Or other farce-major circumstances.
Golyshkin. And I swear – you won’t regret that you have devoted your life to me. Do you have a dream? I will fulfill it!
Olga. I used to have a dream.
Golyshkin. You used to have… why?
