- My family isn't.

- Then who cares.

- Well, yeah.

Look, and where from do you know about this IT guy?

- Well, first of all,

he's not an IT guy.

I said it on purpose.

He's from a different department,

don't ask from which.

Second of all,

I know it from the source.

Well, you got it.

By the way,

I haven't talked to him for a long time,

lack of time.

Just

saying hello to each other, sometimes, from afar.

- You won't tell anybody, right?

- Just like during a confession, don't worry.

- What do you think,

will there be the end of the world?

- For sure.

Will you hand me some material to work with?

Have anything?

God said we must share.

- Maybe I'll get something in the evening.

- This will a mutual benefit, don't worry.

- Mhm.

- Oh my...

- He's worrying a lot.

- Good, let him worry.

- He's suffering, poor guy.

- Good. They all are masters at messing things up,

how about cleaning things?

- You think he's worrying about the kid?

Yeah, right.

Ha has loans from the bank, he's afraid of getting fired.

You know, his boss is all so Orthodox, to the bone.

- A fundamentalist?

- Mhm.

Has a huge beard while wearing a Brioni-costume.

- A glamorous guy?

- Indeed.

He started an Orthodox shariah there.

You get a job only if you're married.

And baptized, of course.

And during our vacations we had a pilgrimage

all around the temples.

- Yeah, I remember. On the other hand,

it's kind of cool. Exoticism.

- Oh come on, it's so boring.

- Bend your leg, shall we.

- But he has a big salary for that.

So, as I see, he's really getting nervous.

- You think he can really get fired?

- The hell I know.

I really hope.

- And what about the alimony?

- Ouch!

Are you kidding me?

- Hey, there's very little left, relax.

My friend told me once

that her boss is fond of extreme sports.

- Really?

- Yes.

So he's taking them to parachute or to canoe

or to downhill-ski.

- Downhill-skiing is cool.

- Well...

The knee of my friend broke,

so she had to wear a cast for half a year.

Goodbye the ligament.

- Hardcore...

- So some of them started buying

certificates on the internet

about the heart condition

or the blood-pressure.

- And?

- Got fired.

- If you're ill, go to a hospital.

- Holy crap.

- So, the temples of yours,

those prayers - all that is still bearable.

Turn over.

- Well, I don't know. I think...

Vacations mean summer, sunshine, a beach,

an all-inclusive hotel...

- And what does your new boyfriend say about this?

- He's fine with it.

He's so, you know, up-to-date.

- Well, he has the money,

he's healthy. Why not be up-to-date?

- Knock on the wood...

- Don't worry, I'm not a hoodoo.

- I'm not superstitious, too, it was just a reflex.
