soft cloth out of his briefcase. He unfolds it carefully and shows the manuscript to Golyshkin. He shows it at a distance not letting touch it.
Golyshkin. My God! So it's true!
Myshevskiy. What is the reason for me deceiving you? You can check the veracity of my words yourself.
Golyshkin. Are you going to give me..?
Myshevskiy wraps the manuscript in cloth and hides the package back in his briefcase.
Myshevskiy. Of course, it's not that easy. Only after you promise me to get the spirit of Hermes Trismegistus. So… Deal?
Golyshkin. Give me some time to think. I can't make a decision out of the blue like this. After all, I am a philosopher, not an adventurer.
Myshevskiy. I understand, professor. How much time do you need?
Golyshkin. I'll call you. In a week. Or by the end of the month.
Myshevskiy. I'll call you myself. If you don’t mind.
Golyshkin. But I don't promise anything!
Myshevsky. Negative answer is also an answer.
Golyshkin. Well, if so…
Myshevskiy. Well, it’s time for me to leave.
Golyshkin. Shall I guide you?
Myshevskiy. No, thanks. I'll find the way.
Golyshkin. It is not so easy. You may get lost in the maze of the rooms.
Myshevsky. It seems to me I've been here before. And that's why I'm fine with it.
Golyshkin. Oh, really? And when?
Myshevsky. Maybe in my previous life. It’s genetic memory.
Golyshkin. You are speaking with puzzles, Mr. Myshevsky.
Myshevskiy. There will come a time for clues, professor. I promise you. I'm leaving, but I’ll come back. See you!
Golyshkin. But remember – I didn't promise anything!
Olga moves away from the door and drags Rodion along with her.
Rodion. Where are you taking me? Tell me!
Olga. Don't make your guest think that we were listening.
Rodion. But we were not listening! Well, we heard a few words, but those are some nonsense!
Olga. Aren’t you stupid, boy?! Of course, I didn't get it all either. But I understood the main thing.
Rodion. And what is it?
Olga. The fact that our visitor is a very rich man.
Rodion. So, what?
Olga. He desperately needs Stalver Udarpyatovich. And if you offer him your help… Then you can demand something else in return.
Rodion. What else do you mean?
Olga. Oh, how stupid you are! Whatever you want! Job, money, recommendation…
