Saturday evening. Lili asks you to come down to the courtyard "just for one minute". Everyone is there, with lights, your kitchen table (the café's old one) and a cake that says "Staying". Tamás holds Cirmi in his arms. The only thing that could not come is the yellow sofa.

Lili
Gyere le az udvarra! Csak egy percre!
Come down to the courtyard! Just for one minute!
Egy percre? Na jó...
For one minute? Well, all right...

The courtyard is full of lights. Everyone is there, round a long table: your kitchen table, the café's old one. Only the yellow sofa couldn't come.

Meglepetés!

Igen. Itt voltunk elfoglalva.
Yes. We were busy here.
Tamás is holding Cirmi in his arms. Cirmi purrs.
Tamás
Volt egy listám. A harmadik pont, «még valami»: az ünnep.
I had a list. Item three, 'something': the party.
Tamás! Ön a macskát tartja!
Tamás! You're holding the cat!

Tamás
Új szabály. Nyolcadik: szombaton a macska az ölemben ül.
A new rule. Number eight: on Saturdays the cat sits on my lap.
On the cake, in cream: „Maradok!“
Eszter
És itt a sütemény.
And here's the cake.
«Maradok»? De még nem mondtam semmit!
'Staying'? But I haven't said anything yet!

Tudom. Tegnap reggel megsütöttem.
I know. I baked it yesterday morning.
Jó. Most mindenki figyeljen.
All right. Now listen, everyone.

A főváros nagy, az állás jó. De tegnap felhívtam őket.
The capital is big, and the job is good. But yesterday I called them.

És azt mondtam: köszönöm, de nem. Maradok, mert itt mindenki tudja a nevemet.
And I said: thank you, but no. I'm staying, because here everyone knows my name.

Látja? Segített a lányom receptje.
You see? My daughter's prescription helped.
Ilona hands you a page of her form: the flat, one more year, your name spelled right, „Maradok: igen“.
Ilona
Tessék. Az utolsó oldal.
Here. The last page.
A lakás, még egy év... A családnevem hibátlan! A dátum pedig múlt hétfői!
The flat, one more year... My surname, without mistakes! And the date is from last Monday!

Tudom, Sara elmondta. Kár, de megértem.
I know, Sara told me. Shame, but I understand.
Anna
Júliusban? Jó! Jövök! És mit csinálunk?
In July? Great! I'll come! And what will we do?
Vonattal megyünk a tóhoz. Ha megy a vonat.
We'll take the train to the lake. If the train runs.
