The Night Before the Exam

Sam's room the night before the Russian exam, Katya testing him with if questions: if you lost your passport, I'd go to the embassy, right, and if you had come earlier, I'd have met you earlier, that's not in the exam, if I'd known I'd have said it better, and if you fail, you'd test me again, then I'd take away the piano.
