Monday evening in the courtyard. Everyone crowds round the phone.
ElīnaVai visi ir te? Labi. Pirmā fotogrāfija!
Is everyone here? Good. First photo!
LieneTe ir grupa. Jānis ar mazo trompeti.
There's the band. And Jānis with the little trumpet.
JānisKas ir tur uz bungām?
And there, on the drum... Who's that?
Muris! Uz bungām!
Muris! On the drum!
Muris! Uz bungām!
Muris! On the drum!
Toms looks worried.
TomsUn es? Vai es arī tur esmu?
And me? Am I in them too?
ElīnaNākamā fotogrāfija. Desmit pāri astoņiem. Muris pie Jāņa kājām.
Next photo. Ten past eight. Muris at Jānis's feet.
MaijaNevar būt. Muris bija mājās.
That can't be. Muris was at home.

Next photo, 20:14: Muris is sitting on the big light switch at the side of the stage.
ElīnaVecmāmiņ, skaties.
Grandma, look.
TomsDivdesmit četrpadsmit! Viņš apsēdās uz slēdža!
Twenty fourteen! He sat down on the switch!
Tātad Muris izslēdza gaismas!
So it was Muris who turned the lights off!

A flash photo from the blackout. Behind Muris, the big drum lies on its side.
ElīnaŠo fotogrāfiju mamma uzņēma tumsā.
And Mum took this photo in the dark.
JānisMans iemutis! Viņa mutē!
My mouthpiece! In his mouth!
TomsUn bungas! Tās nokrita!
And the drum! That's what fell!
LieneTe ir Toms. Ar manu kūku!
And here... Toms. With my cake!
TomsEs biju izsalcis. Es tikai mazliet dejoju.
I was hungry. And I only danced a little.
MaijaEs redzēju. Viņš dejoja ļoti skaisti.
I saw it. He danced very nicely.
Muris yawns.
ElīnaVecmāmiņ! Tu gulēji!
Grandma! You were asleep!
She gives you a print: you at the café stall in the old raincoat, with Muris on the counter.
ElīnaŠī ir tev. Labākā fotogrāfija.
And this one is for you. The best photo.
Es, kafejnīcas stends un Muris. Paldies, Elīna!
Me, the café stall and Muris. Thank you, Elīna!

Gaismas nodzisa. Kaķis nozaga iemuti. Mans kolēģis dejoja.
'The lights went out, the cat stole a mouthpiece, and my colleague danced.'
