(Irina enters, and then Polina and Dorn.)

IRINA: Time to see what Konstantin has for us.

MASHA: He kicked us out of the area.

MED.: He'll call us when it's time to start.

DORN: It can't be long. I'm sure he's eager to begin.

(Sorin enters.)

SORIN: Konstantin is ready for everyone.

DORN: Did I speak of the devil? Shall we?

IRINA: Trigorin and Ilya are still inside.

SORIN: I'll fetch them.

IRINA: They're nipping vodka in the kitchen.

SORIN: Not a bad idea.

IRINA: I don't want the three of you staggering in late.

SORIN: When have I had too much to drink? Not once since I retired.

IRINA: I don't want Konstantin to be upset.

SORIN: I'm sure they're looking forward to seeing the play as much as I am.

IRINA: Good, then you'll be on time.

(Sorin leaves to go inside. Polina and Dorn also leave, going to the stage.)
