IRIS
Ah, I understand.
MATI
I brought you a package from him.
IRIS
He gave it to you?
MATI
Yes.
Silence. He waits for a few seconds on the stairs, embarrassed. He clears his throat.
MATI
Is it possible to come in for a few minutes?
IRIS (relenting)
Yes, of course. I'm sorry I didn't open the door for you before. You certainly understand the situation…
She slides the chain and opens the door. Mati enters. He takes a small package wrapped in crumpled newspaper from his pocket and places it on the dining table in the entrance hall. Iris ignores the package and remains standing in front of Mati.
