“Background: left, a window with muslin curtains. To the right of that, more or less in the middle, a curtained bed. To the right of that a fairly heavy square wooden door. A large wooden table in the centre of the room. Against the left-side wall a leather sofa with a net above it. Right, a door.
It is night-time. The fisherman’s wife is in bed.
WIFE sleeping uneasily, rolls over and talks in her sleep: Tom! Tom! Leave me alone! … Wakes, and sits up in bed. It must be long past midnight. Not ba...ck yet … Didn’t catch a thing today and now he’s on the drink … Oh … Lies down. Oah … Falls asleep. Silence. Then thumps on the door.
FISHERMAN outside: Hey! Open up!
WIFE with a start: Tom! Gets out, goes to the door with a candle, opens it and jumps back.
The fisherman staggers in, supported by two men.
FISHERMAN angrily: What’s door … locked for? When I get home?
WIFE wrapping herself: I was asleep.
FISHERMAN: You see that door’s kept unlocked, damn you. How are people to get in?MoreLess
