Saturday evening, under the roof of number 7. Jonas's flat is small: a bed, a table, a chair, a lot of sheet music, and the trumpet.
Vakaras. Jonas gyvena viršuje. Jo butas mažas, bet geras. Ant stalo – trimitas. Ant lovos – Micius.
Evening. Jonas lives upstairs. His flat is small, but nice. On the table: the trumpet. On the bed: Micius.
Jonas
Labas vakaras, Miciau! Tu alkanas?
Good evening, Micius! Are you hungry?
His phone rings. On the screen it says: Mama.
Skambina mama. Ji gyvena toli.
It's his mum calling. She lives far away.
Jonas
Alio? A, mama! Labas vakaras!
Hello? Oh, Mum! Good evening!
Jono mama
Labas, Jonai! Kaip sekasi?
Hi, Jonas! How are you?
Jonas
Ačiū, gerai. O tau?
Fine, thanks. And you?
Jono mama
Nekaip. Tu gyveni toli, o aš čia viena.
Not great. You live far away, and I'm here on my own.
Jono mama
Ar tu dabar dirbi?
Are you working at the moment?
Jonas
Taip, mama. Aš groju. Aš muzikantas.
Yes, Mum. I play. I'm a musician.
Jono mama
Muzikantas! Tai ne darbas. Tau reikia tikro darbo.
A musician! That's not a job. You need a real job.
Jono mama
Tavo draugas Paulius – inžinierius. Jo mama labai laiminga.
Your friend Paulius is an engineer. His mum is very happy.
Jonas
Mama, aš irgi laimingas.
Mum, I'm happy too.
Jono mama
O ar tu turi stalą? Lovą? Sofą?
And do you have a table? A bed? A sofa?
Jonas
Stalą ir lovą turiu. Sofos dabar neturiu.
I have a table and a bed. I don't have a sofa at the moment.
Jono mama
Neturi sofos? Kodėl? Kur ji?
You don't have a sofa? Why? Where is it?

Ji kaimyno vonios kambaryje.
It's in my neighbour's bathroom.
Jonas
Ji kaimynės vonios kambaryje.
It's in my neighbour's bathroom.
Jono mama
Vonios kambaryje?! Jonai, Jonai...
In the bathroom?! Oh, Jonas, Jonas...
Jonas
Nieko tokio, mama. Labanakt!
It's fine, Mum. Good night!
He puts the phone down and looks at the trumpet for a long time.
Jonas
Tikras darbas... Miciau, tu irgi neturi darbo.
A real job... Micius, you don't have a job either.
Micius miega. Jis čia šeimininkas. Jam darbo nereikia.
Micius is asleep. He's the boss here. He doesn't need a job.
A knock. Two friends come in: Darius with a double bass in a big case, and Ieva with a small drum under her arm.
Kažkas atidaro duris. Tai Darius ir Ieva, Jono draugai.
Somebody opens the door. It's Darius and Ieva, Jonas's friends.
Darius
Labas, Jonai! Mes jau čia!
Hi, Jonas! We're here!
Jonas
Labas! Užeikite! Ar jūs alkani?
Hi! Come in! Are you hungry?

Jonas plays. Darius and Ieva sit on the bed and watch.
Ieva
Jonai, tai labai gera daina!
Jonas, that's a really good song!

Ššš! Ne taip garsiai. Apačioje kaimynai miega.
Shh! Not so loud. The neighbours downstairs are asleep.
