Tuesday, a bright, warm morning. You come down in a T-shirt. Ingrid stands at the door with an umbrella. "You must take it." Måns doesn't want to go out, and that means rain: the best forecast in town. Klara says Ingrid is always right. Almost always.

Ingrid
God morgon. Vart ska du utan paraply?
Good morning. Where are you going without an umbrella?
Till arbetet. Men vädret är fint! Sol och tjugo grader.
To work. But it is lovely! Sunshine, twenty degrees.

Outside, Klara is putting the café tables out on the pavement.

Åh, då behöver du ett paraply.
Oh, then you need an umbrella.
Måns sits on the windowsill, perfectly dry, looking at the sky.
Half past five. You come home soaked to the skin. Ingrid is already at the door with a towel.
Du hade rätt, Ingrid. Det regnar. Jag är helt våt.
You were right, Ingrid. It is raining. I am completely wet.
