FRIAR
I like it too.
SPERANSKY (with a deep sigh)
Yes, it's a strange condition.
SAVVA (smiling at the Friar)
Eh? Well, how are you now?
SPERANSKY
When my uncle took me to his house, he made me promise I would never attempt suicide again. That was the only condition oh which he would consent to let me live with him. "All right," I said; "if we really exist, then I won't make any further attempt to hang myself."
SAVVA
Why do you want to know whether you exist or not? There is the sky. Look, how beautiful it is. There are the swallows and the sweet-scented grass. It's fine! (To the Friar) Fine, isn't it, Vassya?
