31385 - Before the dialogue

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

Olga: Are you joking?

Lucy: No, of course not!

Olga: Does he really want us to play this dialogue?

Lucy: This is what he told me…

Olga: You and I?

Lucy: Do you see anyone else?

Olga: No.

Lucy: Well, then?

Olga: But they are poor!

Lucy: This is what he wants.

Olga: And I will speak without a purse.

Lucy: We will hold hands.

Olga: But it’s not a purse.

Lucy: The least thing needed.

Olga: Well, then? What will I do with you?

Lucy: You will play your role.

Olga: With clothes like theses?

Lucy: I will sew on a fashion label for you discretely.

Olga: But I’ll know it’s fake.

Lucy: The other times you knew too.

Olga: But the others didn’t know.

Lucy: I’ll say that I don’t know.

Olga: But it’s you who will do it.

Lucy: I’ll forget.

Olga: Oh, I can’t take it! What an obscene Master we have!
