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

Eszter
A kávé nyolcszáz forint, a palacsinta ezerkétszáz. Te szeded a pénzt, én sütök.
Coffee is eight hundred forints, pancakes twelve hundred. You take the money and I cook.
Jó. És hol van Cirmi? Vigyáznom kell rá.
All right. And where's Cirmi? I have to look after him.

Eszter
Az asztal alatt. A koncertig alszik.
Under the table. He'll sleep until the concert.
Ilona comes past the stall with her handbag.
Ilona
Jó estét! Na, milyen az idő?
Good evening! Well, how's the weather?
Ahogy Tamás mondta: reggel nap, aztán eső.
Just as Tamás said: sun in the morning, then rain.

Ilona
Később erős szél lesz. És talán hó.
Later there'll be a strong wind. And maybe snow.
Ne, ne! Ma nem lesz hó.
No, no! There won't be any snow today.
Ne, ne! Ma nem lesz hó.
No, no! There won't be any snow today.
Ilona
A koncert nyolckor kezdődik. Először Bence játszik.
The concert will start at eight. Bence will play first.
Ilona
Én a padon ülök a színpad előtt.
I'll sit on the bench in front of the stage.
Ilona
Lili a gyerekekkel énekel. Tamás pedig táncol.
Lili will sing with the children. And Tamás will dance.
Tamás táncol? Tényleg?
Tamás will dance? Really?
Tamás táncol? Tényleg?
Tamás will dance? Really?
Ilona
Azt mondja, nem táncol. De ma táncol!
He says he won't dance. But he will dance today!
Ten to eight. Bence runs up with his trumpet, white as a sheet.
Bence
Segítség! A fúvókám! Eltűnt!
Help! My mouthpiece! It's gone!
Fúvóka? Az mi?
Mouthpiece? What's that?
Fúvóka? Az mi?
Mouthpiece? What's that?
Bence
Egy kis darab, itt. Nem tudok nélküle játszani.
A little thing, right here. I can't play without it.
Hová tetted?
Where did you put it?
Hová tetted?
Where did you put it?
You look under the table. No cat.
Bence
A pultodra, a kávé mellé. Tíz perce.
On your stall, by the coffee. Ten minutes ago.
A kávénk mellé? És hol van Cirmi?
By our coffee? And where's Cirmi?
A kávénk mellé? És hol van Cirmi?
By our coffee? And where's Cirmi?
Bence
Tíz perc múlva kezdődik a koncert. Mit csináljak?
The concert starts in ten minutes. What am I going to do?
Ilona opens her handbag and takes out a small old trumpet.
Ilona
Várj.
Wait.
Bence
Az első trombitám! A képről!
My first trumpet! From the photo!
Ilona
Megtartottam. Tizennyolc évig.
I kept it. For eighteen years.
Bence
Köszönöm, Ilona néni. Ma este önnek játszom.
Thank you, Ilona néni. Tonight I'll play for you.
Én pedig megkeresem Cirmit.
And I'll find Cirmi.
Én pedig megkeresem Cirmit.
And I'll find Cirmi.
