Early morning in the café. At the same minute every day, a neat man in a blue shirt comes in and walks to the table by the window. Rūta nods at him and whispers. His usual order is tea without sugar, one bread roll and the bill. You copy that order exactly; coffee is mentioned only while asking about the menu prices.

Rūta nods at the man walking to the window table and says it quietly.
Rūta
Žiūrėkite: stalas numeris trys. Tas ponas čia būna kiekvieną rytą.
Look: table number three. That gentleman is here every morning.
O stalas numeris vienas?
And table number one?
O stalas numeris vienas?
And table number one?
She winks.
Rūta
Jūsų virtuvėje.
In your kitchen.
He checks under the table, sits down and orders without a look at the menu.

Vieną arbatą be cukraus, vieną bandelę ir sąskaitą, prašau.
One tea without sugar, one roll and the bill, please.

Taip, pone.
Yes, sir.

Can I have the menu?

Rūta
Štai. Kainos čia, apačioje.
Here you are. The prices are here, at the bottom.
You stare at the long menu.
Atsiprašau, nesuprantu. Kiek kainuoja kava?
Sorry, I don't understand. How much is a coffee?

Coffee is two thirty. Tea one forty, a roll one twenty, cake three fifty.
Gerai. Norėčiau užsisakyti.
All right. I'd like to order.

You try to sound exactly like him.

She laughs.
Rūta
Sąskaitą? Jau? Jūs dar nieko neturite!
The bill? Already? You don't have anything yet!
Rūta
Na gerai. Arbata ir bandelė – du šešiasdešimt.
Oh, all right. Tea and a roll: two sixty.
Micius jumps onto the man's table and grabs his pen.

Katinas! Ne, ne, ne!
A cat! No, no, no!
He climbs up onto his chair.
Vyras prie trečio stalo
Sąskaitą! Greitai, prašau!
The bill! Quickly, please!
Rūta
Du šešiasdešimt, pone.
Two sixty, sir.
He drops the exact money on the table and hurries to the door.
Vyras prie trečio stalo
Štai pinigai. Viso gero!
Here's the money. Goodbye!
Rūta
Jis labai, labai bijo kačių.
He's very, very afraid of cats.
Kuo jis vardu?
What's his name?
Kuo jis vardu?
What's his name?
Rūta
Nežinau. „Arbata be cukraus“ – tai jo vardas.
I don't know. "Tea without sugar": that's his name.
Under the table, Micius is playing with the pen.
O jo rašiklis?
And his pen?
O jo rašiklis?
And his pen?
Rūta
Rašiklis? Dabar jau Miciaus.
The pen? It's Micius's now.
