Osip

Someone used the old name once, just outside the door. Inside, not a sound, not once.

• Mikhail FyodorovichThat old man's hearing has gone. His mouth hasn't, that's the problem.
  OsipHis mouth isn't my department.
  Mikhail FyodorovichThen it's mine. Starting tonight.
• Marshal Arkady VolkovAdjutant, might I get a copy of that night's duty roster.
  OsipThere isn't one.

Six hours in the corridor. Nothing to report.

• DashaSir, that's not a person's face, that's a door's face
  OsipA door's better.
• IrinaThank you for stepping aside when I passed last night.
  OsipI didn't step aside.
  IrinaYes, do write it down that way.
