A play for 2,3,4,5,6 people. I'm looking for a scarier woman! Comedy
Nikolay Lakutin
Why are many girls so obsessed with spectacular looks? Chasing fashion, applying tons of makeup, making plump lips, correcting figures, climbing into loans for branded clothes, cool phones, bright earrings and necklaces? Our hero answered this question and made very unusual conclusions. Which ones? You will find out in the comedy "I'm looking for a scarier woman"!

Action 1
Scene 1. Matilda.
Luxury apartment. Nikita works with papers, checks reports sent by subordinates.
Enter Matilda.
Matilda. Honey, are you too busy?
Nikita (without distracting himself from the reports). Sorry, Matilda, I'm busy. Pavel sent a quarterly report, I'm studying it. To be honest, I have suspicions that a significant part of the proceeds goes past the office. And.... (finding the right lines in the papers), apparently my suspicions are not unfounded.
Matilda. Ah, times, ah, manners. Everyone steals, everyone drags, everyone tries to pinch off a bigger piece for himself.
Nikita (without distracting himself from the reports). Yes… yes… yes…
Matilda (assessing the situation). Okay, well, work, I won't distract you.
Nikita (without distracting himself from the reports). Uh-huh.
Matilda (in a pleading voice). Honey, can I go shopping for a while then?
Nikita (without distracting himself from the reports). Go –go, of course, not a question.
Matilda (after a pause of misunderstanding). Nikita?
Nikita (without distracting himself from the reports). Yes, yes?
Matilda (a little offended). I say I'll go shopping.
Nikita (looking up from the reports for the first time, looks at Matilda, trying to figure out what she needs). Ah, got it. How much do you need?
Matilda (quite). Yes, a little bit.
Nikita. How much?
Matilda. Give me four thousand. No, five is better.
Nikita (taking some crumpled bills out of his pocket, hands them to Matilda). Hold.
Matilda (with a psycho). What are you? Are you kidding me?
Nikita (taken aback). What's wrong?
Matilda (with a psycho). Four or five thousand, but not rubles, Nikita!!! You don't even go to the toilet with the company for these pennies in the Central Department Store, well, what are you doing? Gulnara invited me with her, she wants to buy a couple of fur coats, it's necessary to evaluate how she sits, how she looks… I'm purely for the company, trailer. I don't plan to take almost anything for myself. That's it… if you like something very much… But everything I like is not worth as much as you took out of your pocket. Where, by the way, do you even have this little thing there?
Nikita. Ah, sorry, I've been working hard. I thought you were in the grocery store. Bread, maybe milk, or something akin to that. Of course, this is not enough for clothes. Now. (He goes to get the money, shouts from the back room). And that you have nothing left on the map? Didn't I transfer it to you last week?
Matilda (shouts so Nikita can hear). The ones you sent last week, we've eaten for a long time… And we can't wait for you to send "a dozen new and sweet galoshes for our dinner" again.
Nikita (enters, holding a wad of dollars in his hands). How did you eat it? Have you eaten everything?
Matilda (affectionately). Nikita, well, I'm not just buying groceries at home. The girls and I often drop into restaurants. I took cosmetics for myself, and other feminine attributes, but what kind of questions are you like a little one, really …
Nikita (giving money). Sorry, just asking. Is that enough?
Matilda (quickly assessing the pack with a stuffed eye). Should be enough. If it's not enough, I'll call you. Well, that's it, work, I won't distract you.
Nikita (shouts after the departing Matilda). Are you staying long?
Matilda (shouts "at the door"). I'll come by midnight… probably.
Matilda leaves. Nikita sits down at the documents again and studies them.
Nikita (distracted from the documents). Well, it's clear now what's going where. Okay, Pasha, we'll talk to you, tell us who put you up to such schemes.
He's leaving. The light is very dimmed.
Night. Nikita enters in a housecoat with a phone in his hand, calls Matilda.
