Mira is asleep, Miki is asleep. Only Luka, upstairs, is still playing, very quietly.
Ali Ivana je već budna. Već je u kafiću.
But Ivana is already up. She's already in the café.
Ivana
Dobro jutro, moj kafiću! Idemo peći kruh.
Good morning, my café! Let us bake bread.
Ivana peče kruh i kolače. U hladnjaku je trideset jaja, mnogo mlijeka i maslaca.

At six in the morning the phone rings.
Ivana
Halo? Bako! Dobro jutro!
Hello? Grandma! Good morning!
Ivanina baka
Dobro jutro, Ivana! Već pečeš?
Good morning, Ivana! Are you baking already?
Ivana
Da. A ti? Ni ti ne spavaš?
Yes, I'm baking. And you? Aren't you asleep either?
Ivanina baka
Ne. I ja pečem. Mi ne spavamo, mi pečemo!
No. I'm baking too. We don't sleep, we bake!
Ivanina baka živi na selu. Svako jutro peče kruh.
Ivana's grandmother lives in a village. She bakes bread every morning.
Ivanina baka
Jedeš li, Ivana? Svi jedu tvoje kolače. A ti?
Are you eating, Ivana? Everybody eats your cake. And you?
Ivana
Nisam gladna, bako. I nemam vremena.
I'm not hungry, Grandma. And I don't have time.
Ivanina baka
Nisi gladna? Gladan čovjek nije sretan. Znaš to.
Not hungry? A hungry person is an unhappy person. You know that.
Ivana
Znam. Zato svi u mom kafiću dobivaju kolač.
I know, I know. That's why everybody in my café gets cake.
Seven o'clock. Ivana opens the café. Outside, people are already waiting.
U sedam Ivana otvara vrata. Ljudi već čekaju.
At seven Ivana opens the door. People are already waiting there.
Ivana
Dobro jutro! Uđite!
Good morning! Come in, come in!
Luka dolazi prvi. Svira cijelu noć i vrlo je umoran.
Luka comes in first. He plays all night, and he's very tired.
Luka
Jutro, Ivana... Čaj, molim. Samo čaj.
Morning, Ivana... Tea, please. Just tea.
Ivana
Dobro, Luka. Nisi gladan, umoran si. Evo velike šalice čaja.
All right, Luka. You're not hungry, you're tired. Here's a big cup of tea.
Ivana zna što svi žele. Mira joj govori sve.
Ivana knows what everybody wants. Mira tells her everything.
Then Mira comes in, with Lana on her way to school.
Ivana
Dobro jutro, gospođo Miro! Bok, Lana! Što želite?
Good morning, Mrs Mira! Hi, Lana! What would you two like?
Mira
Meni crni čaj, bez šećera.
Black tea for me, no sugar.
Lana
A meni palačinke! Deset palačinki!
And pancakes for me! Ten pancakes!
Mira
Lana! Ne deset. Dvije.
Lana! Not ten. Two.
Ivana
Dvije palačinke s maslacem i šalica mlijeka. I jedna mala palačinka za Mikija.
Two pancakes with butter and a cup of milk. And one small pancake for Miki.
Miki već sjedi na stolici. Voli palačinke.
Miki is already sitting on a chair. He loves pancakes.
Eight o'clock. The café is full. A woman in a smart grey coat hurries in, her phone in her hand.
Gošća
Kavu, molim! Brzo! Žurim.
A coffee, please! Quickly! I'm in a hurry.
Ivana
Dobro jutro! Kavu s mlijekom? Sa šećerom?
Good morning! Coffee with milk? With sugar?
Gošća
Bez mlijeka. Bez šećera. I bez kolača! Nisam gladna.
No milk. No sugar. And no cake! I'm not hungry.
"Nisam gladna." Ivana to uopće ne voli.
"I'm not hungry." Ivana doesn't like that at all.
Ivana
Niste gladni? Ali ste vrlo umorni. Evo kave. A kolač je besplatan.
You're not hungry? But you're very tired. Here's your coffee. And the cake is on me.
Gošća
Ne, hvala! Nemam vremena. Koliko stoji kava?
No, thank you! I don't have time. How much is the coffee?
Ivana
Dva eura trideset. Kolač ne stoji ništa.
Two euros thirty. The cake costs nothing.
The woman looks at the cake. She takes one bite. Then another.
Gošća
Mmm... Jako mi se sviđa! Mogu li dobiti još jedan?
Mmm... I really like it! Can I have another one?
Ivana
Naravno! Sjednite, molim.
Of course! Sit down, please.
I sjedi. I jede. I više nije umorna.
And she sits. And eats. And she isn't tired any more.
Evening. The last guest has gone. Ivana counts the money, and Miki sits in the café window.
Večer je. Kafić je prazan.
Evening. The café is empty.
Ivana
Danas osamdeset ljudi! I svi dobivaju kolač.
Eighty people today! And everybody gets cake.
Telefon opet zvoni. Ivana već zna: baka.
The phone rings again. Ivana already knows: it's Grandma.
Ivanina baka
Kako je, Ivana? Jedeš li?
Well, Ivana? Are you eating?
Ivana
Da, bako! Sada jedem. Kruh sa sirom i kolač.
Yes, Grandma! I'm eating now. Bread with cheese, and cake.
A Miki? I Miki jede. Ribu, naravno.
And Miki? Miki is eating too. Fish, of course.
Ivana
Laku noć, Miki. Sutra opet u pet ujutro!
Good night, Miki. Tomorrow, five in the morning again!
