A brand-new flat near the station. Monday, six o'clock in the morning. On the fridge door hangs a long list.
Te dzīvo Toms. Tomam ir daudz sarakstu.
This is where Toms lives. Toms has a lot of lists.
Darba saraksts, veikala saraksts un sarakstu saraksts.
A list for work, a list for the shop, and a list of lists.
Toms
Pirmdiena. Sešos es ceļos. Pēc piecpadsmit minūtēm eju dušā.
Monday. At six I get up. At a quarter past six I have a shower.
Toms
Septiņos brokastis: Divas olas un maize.
At seven, breakfast: two eggs and bread.
Toms
Pus astoņos kafejnīca, trešais galds. Tēja bez cukura.
At half past seven, the café, table three. Tea without sugar.
Toms
Bez piecpadsmit deviņos birojs. Nekad deviņos!
At a quarter to nine, the office. Never at nine!
Toms vienmēr ceļas sešos. Pirmdien, otrdien, trešdien. Arī svētdien.
Toms always gets up at six. On Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday... and even on Sunday.
Sunday evening. At seven o'clock exactly, Toms's phone rings.
Katru svētdienu septiņos vakarā zvana tālrunis. Toma mamma.
Every Sunday at seven in the evening the phone rings. It's Toms's mother.
Toma mamma
Labvakar, Tom! Kā klājas? Vai tu ēd? Vai guli?
Good evening, Toms! How are you? Are you eating? Are you sleeping?
Toms
Jā, mammu. Ēdu septiņos, pus vienos un sešos. Guļu no desmitiem.
Yes, Mum. I eat at seven, at half past twelve and at six. I sleep from ten.
Toma mamma
Mēs ar tēti ceļamies piecos. Kādi ir tavi kolēģi?
Dad and I get up at five. And your colleagues? What are they like?
Toms
Jauki. Man ir jauns kolēģis. Viņš dzīvo mājā ar kaķi.
They're nice. And I've got a new colleague, who lives in a house with a cat.
Toms
Jauki. Man ir jauna kolēģe. Viņa dzīvo mājā ar kaķi.
They're nice. And I've got a new colleague, who lives in a house with a cat.
Toma mamma
Ar kaķi?! Tom, tev bail no kaķiem! Vai birojā ir kaķis?
With a cat?! Toms, you're afraid of cats! Do you have a cat at the office?
Toms
Mammu, man nav bail. Nu... Mazliet.
Mum, I'm not afraid. Well... a little.
Toma mamma
Ēd, guli un nekavē, Tom. Ar labu nakti!
Eat, sleep and don't be late, Toms. Good night!
Toms
Mammu, es nekad nekavēju.
Mum, I'm never late.
That night, at three o'clock, the old clock on Toms's bedside table stops.
Pirmdiena. Seši. Bet Toms neceļas. Viņš guļ.
Monday. Six o'clock. But Toms doesn't get up. He's asleep.
Toms
Cik ir pulkstenis? Mans pulkstenis nestrādā!
What time is it? My clock is not working!
Tālrunī ir pus deviņi. Pus deviņi!
His phone says half past eight. Half past eight!
Toms
Nē! Es kavēju!
No, no, no! I'm late!
Šodien Toms neiet dušā. Neēd brokastis. Neiet uz kafejnīcu.
Today Toms doesn't have a shower. He doesn't eat breakfast. He doesn't go to the café.
At the café at number 7, Liene looks at the empty table by the window.
Liene
Jau astoņi. Trešais galds tukšs. Kur ir mūsu Tēja bez cukura?
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.
Desmit pāri deviņiem. Toma nav. Pirmo reizi!
Ten past nine, and no Toms. That's a first!
Desmit pāri deviņiem. Toma nav. Pirmo reizi!
Ten past nine, and no Toms. That's a first!
The door flies open.
Labrīt, Tom! Jūs kavējat!
Good morning, Toms! You're late!
Labrīt, Tom! Jūs kavējat!
Good morning, Toms! You're late!
Toms
Es zinu. Mans pulkstenis nestrādā. Saraksts ir mājās!
I know. My clock is not working. My list is at home!
Toms
Ko tagad? Kad ir sapulce? Ko man darīt?
What now? When's the meeting? What am I doing?
Neuztraucieties. Apsēdieties, lūdzu. Te ir kafija.
Don't worry. Sit down, please. Here's your coffee.

Muris jumps onto Toms's desk and sits down right next to his keyboard.
Toms
Tu arī esi te, Muri? Labrīt.
You're here too, Muris? Good morning.
Tom, kāpēc jums bail no kaķiem?
Toms, why are you afraid of cats?
Tom, kāpēc jums bail no kaķiem?
Toms, why are you afraid of cats?
Toms
Kad es biju mazs, katru jūliju biju laukos pie vecmāmiņas.
When I was little, every July I was in the countryside, at my grandmother's.
Toms
Tur bija runcis. Liels, melns un ļoti dusmīgs.
There was a tomcat there. Big, black and very fierce.
Toms
Vienu nakti viņš bija manā gultā. Uz manas sejas! Man bija pieci gadi.
One night he was in my bed. On my face! I was five.
Uz jūsu sejas?! Ak...
On your face?! Oh dear...
Uz jūsu sejas?! Ak...
On your face?! Oh dear...
Toms
Kopš tās nakts man bail no kaķiem. No visiem kaķiem.
Since that night I've been afraid of cats. All cats.
Muris skatās uz Tomu. Muris nav dusmīgs. Viņš ir izsalcis.
Muris looks at Toms. Muris isn't fierce. He's just hungry.
Toms
Labi. Tu vari sēdēt te. Bet nesēdi uz mana datora!
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.
Vakarā Toms raksta jaunu sarakstu.
In the evening Toms writes a new list.
Toms
Viens: Trīs pulksteņi. Divi: Nekavē, Tom!
One: three clocks. Two: don't be late, Toms!
Un trīs? Toms ilgi skatās papīrā. Tad raksta.
And three? Toms looks at the paper for a long time. Then he writes:
Toms
Trīs: Muris nav melns. Viņš nav dusmīgs. Viņš ir pelēks.
Three: Muris isn't black, and he isn't fierce. He's grey.
