Ira (joyfully, sincerely). Ira!

Oleg stands at a loss, looking at Ira and at his friend.

Demyan (prompting Oleg delicately). Well… probably, according to the rules of good form, you need to at least extend your hand to the girl, and also introduce yourself …

Oleg remembers where he is and what he is, assesses the situation adequately, extends his hand to Ira and introduces himself in response.

Oleg (confused, with a lot of questions on his face). Oleg!

Ira (joyfully, sincerely, positively, with pressure). Oleg? Very pleasant. Short and concise. (With irony, and a kind cunning, looking at Demyan) Not like Demyan! You'll break your tongue while you say it. I'm not really strong in Old Slavonic, of course, someone may like it. But here's the name Oleg, I like it much more than Demyan, honestly!

Demyan (to Ira, deliberately sternly). So! Conversations in the stand!

Ira (playfully, to Demyan). Oh, come on, Comrade Foreman! It's all empty.

Ira passes to the table in a masterly manner, lays out a bag of lard and a loaf of bread on it.
