Ponedjeljak. U šest ustajem. U šest i petnaest se tuširam.
Monday. At six I get up. At a quarter past six I have a shower.
Dario
U sedam doručak: dva jaja i kruh.
At seven, breakfast: two eggs and bread.
Dario
U pola osam kafić, stol tri. Čaj bez šećera.
At half past seven, the café, table three. Tea without sugar.
Dario
U četvrt do devet ured. Nikad u devet!
At a quarter to nine, the office. Never at nine!
Dario uvijek ustaje u šest. U ponedjeljak, u utorak, u srijedu... čak i u nedjelju.
Dario always gets up at six. On Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday... and even on Sunday.
Sunday evening. At seven o'clock exactly, Dario's phone rings.
Svake nedjelje u sedam navečer zvoni telefon. Darijeva mama.
Every Sunday at seven in the evening the phone rings. It's Dario's mother.
Darijeva mama
Dobra večer, Dario! Kako si? Jedeš li? Spavaš li?
Good evening, Dario! How are you? Are you eating? Are you sleeping?
Dario
Da, mama. Jedem u sedam, u pola jedan i u šest. Spavam od deset.
Yes, Mum. I eat at seven, at half past twelve and at six. I sleep from ten.
Darijeva mama
Tata i ja ustajemo u pet. A tvoji kolege? Kakvi su?
Dad and I get up at five. And your colleagues? What are they like?
Dario
Dobri su. Imam novog kolegu. Živi u kući s mačkom.
They're nice. And I've got a new colleague, who lives in a house with a cat.
Dario
Dobri su. Imam novu kolegicu. Živi u kući s mačkom.

Darijeva mama
S mačkom?! Dario, ti se bojiš mačaka! Imaš li mačka u uredu?
With a cat?! Dario, you're afraid of cats! Do you have a cat at the office?
Dario
Mama, ne bojim se. Pa... malo.
Mum, I'm not afraid. Well... a little.
Darijeva mama
Jedi, spavaj i nemoj kasniti, Dario. Laku noć!
Eat, sleep and don't be late, Dario. Good night!
Dario
Mama, nikad ne kasnim.
Mum, I'm never late.
That night, at three o'clock, the old clock on Dario's bedside table stops.
Ponedjeljak. Šest je. Ali Dario ne ustaje. Spava.
Monday. Six o'clock. But Dario doesn't get up. He's asleep.
Dario
Koliko je sati? Moj sat ne radi!
What time is it? My clock is not working!
Na telefonu je pola devet. Pola devet!
His phone says half past eight. Half past eight!
Dario
Ne! Kasnim!
No, no, no! I'm late!
Danas se Dario ne tušira. Ne doručkuje. Ne ide u kafić.
Today Dario doesn't have a shower. He doesn't eat breakfast. He doesn't go to the café.
At the café at number 7, Ivana looks at the empty table by the window.
Ivana
Već je osam, a stol tri je prazan. Gdje je naš "Čaj bez šećera"?
It's already eight, and table three is empty. Where's our 'Tea without sugar'?
At the office. You are at your desk; the desk next to yours is empty.
Devet i deset, a Darija nema. Prvi put!
Ten past nine, and no Dario. That's a first!

Dario
Znam. Moj sat ne radi. A popis je kod kuće!
I know. My clock is not working. And my list is at home!
Dario
Što sada? Kad je sastanak? Što radim?
What now? When's the meeting? What am I doing?
Ne brinite. Sjednite, molim. Evo Vaše kave.
Don't worry. Sit down, please. Here's your coffee.

Miki jumps onto Dario's desk and sits down right next to his keyboard.
Dario
I ti si ovdje, Miki? Dobro jutro.
You're here too, Miki? Good morning.
Dario, zašto se bojite mačaka?
Dario, why are you afraid of cats?
Dario, zašto se bojite mačaka?
Dario, why are you afraid of cats?
Dario
Kad sam bio mali, svaki sam srpanj bio na selu, kod bake.
When I was little, every July I was in the countryside, at my grandmother's.
Dario
Tamo je bio mačak. Velik, crn i vrlo ljut.
There was a tomcat there. Big, black and very fierce.
Dario
Jedne noći bio je u mom krevetu. Na mom licu! Imao sam pet godina.
One night he was in my bed. On my face! I was five.
Na Vašem licu?! Joj...
On your face?! Oh dear...
Na Vašem licu?! Joj...
On your face?! Oh dear...
Dario
Od te noći bojim se mačaka. Svih mačaka.
Since that night I've been afraid of cats. All cats.
Miki gleda Darija. Miki nije ljut. Samo je gladan.
Miki looks at Dario. Miki isn't fierce. He's just hungry.
Dario
Dobro. Možeš sjediti ovdje. Ali nemoj na moje računalo!
All right, all right. You can sit here. But don't sit on my computer!
That evening, at home, three new alarm clocks stand on the kitchen table.
Navečer Dario piše novi popis.
In the evening Dario writes a new list.
Dario
Jedan: tri sata. Dva: ne kasni, Dario!
One: three clocks. Two: don't be late, Dario!
A tri? Dario dugo gleda papir. Zatim piše:
And three? Dario looks at the paper for a long time. Then he writes:
Dario
Tri: Miki nije crn i nije ljut. Siv je.
Three: Miki isn't black, and he isn't fierce. He's grey.
