KOSTILYOFF. Take care, brother. Don’t carry your joking too far! [Knocks loudly at door] Vassily!
PEPEL [opening door] Well? What are you disturbing me for?
KOSTILYOFF [peering into room] I—you see—
PEPEL. Did you bring the money?
KOSTILYOFF. I’ve something to tell you—
PEPEL. Did you bring the money?
KOSTILYOFF. What money? Wait—
PEPEL. Why—the seven rubles for the watch—well?
KOSTILYOFF. What watch, Vaska? Oh, you—
PEPEL. Look here. Yesterday, before witnesses, I sold you a watch for ten rubles, you gave me three—now let me have the other seven. What are you blinking for? You hang around here—you disturb people—and don’t seem to know yourself what you’re after.
