FIRST ACT
Tableau I
Scene 1
The curtain raises over a room furnished as follows: center stage, an extensible table; left and right, two Rococo sofas, one with a shit-colored cover with brown polka-dots, the other with a brown cover with shit-colored dwarves silhouettes; in the back, a gray drape, knotted in the middle; before it, a standing lamp with three tricolor lampshades; above it, an immense picture representing Drãghici, astride a mule, with a bowl over his head; underneath it's written: "Dinuluþeluºu in the Army".
On the table, wearing pyjamas visibly made from a flag, is seated Preoteasa, with her chin resting in the left hand and the right hand index hitting rhythmically her brow. On the right-side sofa, Drãghici, in night-gown, stands up, unmoving, as a statue. Next to him sits down Ciobotaru, cross-legged, wearing an overall made of the same fabric as the sofa cover (so, becoming lost in the scenery); she holds in her lap a night-pot that she knocks regularly with the pinky of her left hand. Behind the table, Opran, wearing only a maillot, sits down on the potty, with a bitten apple in his hand. On the left-side sofa lays Gaºpar, belly-down, with his ass pointing upwards, wearing tails and the top hat on his left buttock; he keeps his chin propped in the right palm; at each five seconds, he pulls his tongue at Preoteasa. All stare in the Deep Void.
PREOTEASA (fascinated): - Who broke down the screechmaker?
ALL (ecstasiated): - Ooooooh!
The curtain descends slowly over the tableau.
SECOND ACT

Scene 2
The same set, all on the same places, only Ga[par's top hat moved over his right buttock.
OPRAN (shifting his position on the potty): - Who broke down the screechmaker?
ALL (even more ecstasiated): - Ooooooooooooooooooh!
The curtain drops abruptly over the tableau.
THIRD ACT
TABLEAU III
Scene 3
All the floodlights are turned on.
The stage is deserted.
Ciobotaru walks. From the attic, Drãghici falls onto her head, together with the curtain.
A VOICE FROM THE AUDIENCE: - Hey...!!!
Appears a sober and nutty speaker who announces:
THE SOBER AND NUTTY SPEAKER: - Morals: the one who laughs in the end, will fall the first one into it.
Curtain. It's wearing the inscription: THE KONEC
