You want to thank everyone with a dinner on Saturday. You send messages and knock on doors. Tomas can't; he must... (a list). Rūta is working. Elzė must ask her grandma, and Ona does not even open her door.

Tuesday evening. You write a message to everyone at number 7, and to Tomas.
„Mieli kaimynai ir Tomai! Ačiū jums už viską. Šeštadienį, septintą vakaro, kviečiu jus vakarienės. Pas mane.“
'Dear neighbours and Tomas! Thank you for everything. On Saturday, at seven in the evening, I'm inviting you to dinner. At my place.'

„Bus sriuba, blynai ir pyragas. Gaminsiu pats!“
'There'll be soup, pancakes and cake. I'm cooking myself!'

'There'll be soup, pancakes and cake. I'm cooking myself!'
The first answer comes after one minute.
Tomas
„Atsiprašau, negalėsiu. Šeštadienį turiu: pirma – išplauti langus, antra – nupirkti popieriaus, trečia – dar kai ką.“
'Sorry, I won't be able to. On Saturday I have to: one, wash the windows; two, buy paper; three, something else.'
Trys darbai šeštadienio vakarą? O kas tas „kai kas“, Tomai?
Three jobs on a Saturday evening? And what is this 'something', Tomas?

Rūta
„Šeštadienį aš dirbu visą vakarą. Gal kitą kartą?“
'On Saturday I'm working all evening. Maybe another time?'
Elzė
„Turiu paklausti močiutės!!!“
'I have to ask Grandma!!!'
Gerai. Pats paklausiu Onos.
All right. I'll ask Ona myself.

You knock on Ona's door. Behind it someone whispers. Then nothing.
Ponia Ona? Ar jūs namie?
Mrs Ona? Are you at home?
Ponia Ona? Ar jūs namie?
Mrs Ona? Are you at home?

Ponia Ona, šitame name sienos plonos. Aš jus girdžiu.
Mrs Ona, the walls in this house are thin. I can hear you.

The door stays shut. Micius walks past you and down the stairs without looking at you.
Ir tu, Miciau? Irgi užsiėmęs?
You too, Micius? Are you busy too?
Ir tu, Miciau? Irgi užsiėmęs?
You too, Micius? Are you busy too?
Jonas comes down and sits next to you on the stairs.
Jonas
Visi užsiėmę? Aš irgi negalėsiu. Šeštadienį groju.
Everyone's busy? I can't come either. I'm playing on Saturday.
Visi. Šeštadienį niekas negali ateiti.
Everyone. Nobody can come on Saturday.

Jonas
Tu tikrai nori išvažiuoti?
You really want to leave?
Nežinau. Gal išvažiuosiu į sostinę. Ten labai geras darbas.
I don't know. Maybe I'll go to the capital. There's a very good job there.

Jonas
Aš irgi kartą išvažiavau iš septinto namo. Man buvo aštuoniolika.
I left number 7 once too. I was eighteen.
Ir?
And?
Ir?
And?
A long pause.
Jonas
Ir grįžau.
And I came back.
Kodėl tu grįžai?
Why did you come back?

Jonas
Sostinėje daug žmonių. Bet ten niekas nežino tavo vardo.
There are lots of people in the capital. But nobody there knows your name.
