ACT II

Same set. OLGA'S place, two years earlier. It is night. Through the back door, opening on the court, comes the hum of voices, now rising, now falling. Evidently several persons are engaged in heated discussion. HUGO iS typing. He seems much more youthful than in the previous scene.

IVAN is pacing back and forth.

IVAN: Hey!

IVAN: Couldn't you stop typing?

HUGO: Why?

IVAN: It gets on my nerves.

HUGO: You don't seem the nervous type.

IVAN: I'm not! But right now it bothers me. Can't you talk to me?

HUGO [eagerly]: I should like nothing better. What's your name?

IVAN: In the underground I'm known as Ivan. What's yours?

HUGO: Raskolnikov.

IVAN [laughing]: What a name!

HUGO: It's my name in the party.

IVAN: Where'd you dig that up?

HUGO: He kills.

IVAN: LOUIS.

HUGO: And then what?
