Saturday evening on the market square: stalls, lights, pancakes. Sun, then rain, then sun again, and you are in Leena's old raincoat. You are at the café stand, and you are the cat's minder. The concert will start at eight. Then Jaan runs up: his mouthpiece is gone. And where is the cat?

Mari
Kohv maksab kaks eurot, pannkoogid kolm. Sina võtad raha ja mina teen süüa.
Coffee is two euros, pancakes three. You'll take the money, and I'll do the cooking.
Olgu. Ja kus Muri on? Ma pean tema eest hoolitsema.
All right. And where's Muri? I have to look after him.

Mari
Laua all. Ta magab kontserdini.
Under the table. He'll sleep until the concert.
Leena comes past the stall with her handbag.
Leena
Tere õhtust! Noh, milline ilm on?
Good evening! Well, how's the weather?
Nagu Toomas ütles: hommikul päike, siis vihm.
Just as Toomas said: sun in the morning, then rain.

Leena
Hiljem tuleb tugev tuul. Ja võib-olla lumi.
Later there'll be a strong wind. And maybe snow.
Ei, ei! Täna lund ei tule.
No, no! There won't be any snow today.
Ei, ei! Täna lund ei tule.
No, no! There won't be any snow today.
Leena
Kontsert algab kell kaheksa. Jaan mängib esimesena.
The concert will start at eight. Jaan will play first.
Leena
Mina istun lava ees pingil.
I will sit on the bench in front of the stage.
Leena
Liis laulab koos lastega. Ja Toomas tantsib.
Liis will sing with the children. And Toomas will dance.
Toomas tantsib? Tõesti?
Toomas will dance? Really?
Toomas tantsib? Tõesti?
Toomas will dance? Really?
Leena
Ta ütleb, et ei tantsi. Aga tantsib.
He says he won't dance. But he will.
Ten to eight. Jaan runs up with his trumpet, white as a sheet.
Jaan
Appi! Minu huulik! See on kadunud!
Help! My mouthpiece! It's gone!
Huulik? Mis see on?
Mouthpiece? What's that?
Huulik? Mis see on?
Mouthpiece? What's that?
Jaan
Väike asi, siin. Ilma selleta ma ei saa mängida.
A little thing, right here. I can't play without it.
Kuhu sa selle panid?
Where did you put it?
Kuhu sa selle panid?
Where did you put it?
You look under the table. No cat.
Jaan
Sinu letile, kohvi kõrvale. Kümme minutit tagasi.
On your stall, by the coffee. Ten minutes ago.
Meie kohvi kõrvale? Ja kus Muri on?
By our coffee? And where's Muri?
Meie kohvi kõrvale? Ja kus Muri on?
By our coffee? And where's Muri?
Jaan
Kontsert algab kümne minuti pärast. Mida ma teen?
The concert starts in ten minutes. What am I going to do?
Leena opens her handbag and takes out a small old trumpet.
Leena
Oota.
Wait.
Jaan
Minu esimene trompet! Fotolt!
My first trumpet! From the photo!
Leena
Ma hoidsin seda alles. Kaheksateist aastat.
I kept it. For eighteen years.
Jaan
Aitäh, proua Tamm. Täna õhtul mängin ma teile.
Thank you, Mrs Tamm. Tonight I'll play for you.
Ja mina leian Muri.
And I'll find Muri.
Ja mina leian Muri.
And I'll find Muri.
