     ♦ "Послушай, Верочка. Ты... жила в семье на всём готовом. Я тебя не осуждаю, я хочу тебе добра и только добра... Мы с тобой муж и жена. У каждого из нас есть права и есть обязанности. Моя обязанность - служить, приносить домой деньги. Твоя обязанность - вести дом" (Грекова 3). "Listen, Verochka. ...You've lived in a family where everything was done for you. I don't blame you. I wish you the best and only the best. ... You and I are husband and wife. Each of us has his rights and duties. My duty is to work, to bring home money. Your duty is to take care of the house" (3a).
