I see you already ordered the cheesecake.

You promised nothing, remember?

I promised nothing, and I kept my promise.

This is only a small piece.

That piece is bigger than my hand.

You have no shame at all.

I worked eight hours today, and I skipped lunch completely.

I deserve it.

Fine.

But if you fall asleep during our conversation, I will leave.

I'll stay awake.

I've been looking forward to this since Monday.

Me too, honestly.

I changed my clothes three times before coming here.

Three times?

I only changed my shirt once, and it was dirty anyway.

That's a terrible thing to admit on a first date.

Say something better.

Okay, I also cleaned my flat this morning, in case you ever visit.

That's a strange thing to plan before we've even sat down together.

I know.

I told you I'm simple and I plan things too early.

It's fine.

I planned our meeting place, so we're even now.

So, how was your week?

You said work was busy when we last wrote.

Very busy.

I translated a contract about a bridge, and it took three days.

A bridge?

That sounds boring, but also important for the city.

It was boring.

I fell asleep twice at my desk, and my colleague laughed.

What does your colleague say about your Tinder adventures?

She says I'm brave.

She would never meet a stranger from the Internet.

My friends say the same thing, but they still ask for every detail.

Do you tell them everything?

I hope you don't describe my photos.

I only said you have a nice smile and you write in full sentences.

Full sentences.

That's the strangest compliment I've ever received.

It's a real compliment.

Most people write three words and disappear.

True.

One man wrote only, hey, and then asked why I didn't answer.

What did you do with him?

Did you give him a second chance?

No, I deleted the conversation and made myself a cup of tea.

Good decision.

I would have done exactly the same thing.

So tell me about your week.

Did any bicycle explode in your shop?

Almost.

A man brought a bike so old that the wheels were square.

Square wheels?

That's impossible.

You're inventing stories now.

Not square, but close.

The tires were flat for maybe five years.

Five years?

Why would someone keep a bicycle like that?

It belonged to his father, and he couldn't throw it away.

That's sad and sweet at the same time.

Did you repair it?

I tried, but the frame was broken.

I told him the truth.

How did he react?

Some people get angry when they hear bad news.

He was quiet for a moment, then he thanked me and took it home.

So he kept it anyway.

Some things are more than objects.

Exactly.

I think you understand people better than you admit.

I listen.

That's different from understanding, but it helps.

Do you listen to your clients too, or only to sad bicycle stories?

I listen to everyone.

That's why my job is tiring sometimes.

I never thought about translation that way.

It sounds lonely.

It is lonely, but I like words.

I like finding the right one.

What's your favorite word in English?

I'm curious now.

Twilight.

It sounds soft, and it means something beautiful.

Twilight.

I like that.

My favorite word is sprocket.

Sprocket?

Of course the bicycle man chooses a bicycle word.

It's a funny word.

It sounds like something falling down the stairs.

You're right.

Now I'll think about falling stairs every time I see a bike.

Good.

Then you'll think about me, and that's the whole plan.

Was that your plan?

To put strange words in my head?

Yes.

Simple plans are the best ones.

They always work.

So far it's working.

I've smiled more tonight than all week.

Me too.

My face hurts a little, and that's a good sign.

Should we order something warm?

The cafe is getting cold.

Yes, I'll take tea with lemon.

My mother says it's good for the throat.

Your mother?

Do you still listen to your mother's advice?

Sometimes.

She's 70, and she knows everything about colds.

My mother lives in Poland, and she calls me every Sunday evening.

Every Sunday?

That's a lot of phone calls.

What do you talk about?

Everything.

The weather, my cat, and why I'm still not married.

Ah, that question.

My parents ask me the same thing every birthday.

What do you tell them?

I never know what to say.

I tell them I'm waiting for the right person, not the first person.

That's a good answer.

I'll steal it for next Sunday.

You can have it.

I have many answers like that.

All unused.

Unused?

So you've been alone for a long time too?

Two years, like I said.

The first year was the hardest.

For me, it was the second year.

The first one, I was too busy crying.

That's honest.

Most people pretend they were fine immediately.

I wasn't fine.

I ate soup for dinner for six months.

Soup?

Only soup?

That's not a real diet.

You need meat and vegetables.

Now you sound like my grandmother.

She said the same thing.

Your grandmother was right.

Soup alone cannot fix a broken heart.

Nothing fixes it.

Time fixes it, and friends, and small routines.

And maybe new people.

That's why we're sitting here tonight.

Maybe.

I didn't believe that a month ago, but now I'm not sure.

Not sure about what?

About Tinder or about me?

About both.

I came here expecting nothing, and now I'm surprised.

Surprised in a good way, I hope?

You're still sitting here.

I am, and your cheesecake is almost gone, so you must be relaxed.

I am relaxed That rare for me on a first date What usually happens on your first dates Tell me honestly Usually I talk about bicycles for an hour and nobody stops me Tonight I stopped you twice so you learning something I'm learning that I like being stopped by you.

Careful, that sounded almost romantic and we're only on date one.

I know, I'll save the romantic sentences for the second date.

Good, then I have something to look forward to.

Does that mean there will be a second date?

Ask me after the tea.

I make all important decisions after tea.

Then drink quickly.

I'll wait, but I'll be nervous.

You don't look nervous.

You look like a man with a full stomach.

Inside, I'm counting the minutes until you answer.

Okay, okay.

The tea is good, the cafe is warm, and I'm happy.

Is that a guess?

I need a clear answer, please.

Yes, Oscar.

There will be a second date.

Now breathe.

Good.

I was holding my breath for the last two minutes.

I noticed.

Your face was turning a strange color.

That's my normal color in stressful situations.

You'll learn it.

I want to learn it.

That's a strange thing to say, but it's true.

It's not strange.

I want to learn your habits, too.

My habits are boring.

I wake up early and I talk to my cat.

Bruno.

The gray and demanding one.

I remember.

You keep remembering his name.

Bruno will like you.

I hope so.

Cats can smell fear, and I'm afraid of cats.

You repair bicycles, but you're afraid of a small gray cat?

Bicycles don't jump on my head at three in the morning.

Bruno does that sometimes.

He sits on my face when he's hungry.

Then I'll bring him a treat and hope for the best.

Bring two treats.

He's demanding, and one is never enough.

Two treats for Bruno.

Noted.

What else should I know?

I hate loud restaurants, and I can't dance at all.

I can't dance either.

My last dance was at my cousin's wedding.

How was it?

Did people laugh at you?

My uncle filmed it, and the video is still on his phone.

That's a dangerous video.

You should delete it.

I tried, but my uncle loves it.

He shows it to everyone.

Then we'll never dance together.

That's a rule now.

Agreed.

We'll sit, talk, and eat cheesecake instead.

That sounds like a perfect plan for two old people.

We're not old.

We're just tired of pretending to be young.

That's the best sentence you've said all evening.

Then I'll write it down and use it again next time.

You write things down?

Like a diary?

Like short notes in my phone.

Ideas for stories, mostly.

You still write stories?

You mentioned that when we texted.

Yes, but I haven't finished one in a year.

They all stop halfway.

Why do they stop?

Is it the ending that's difficult?

Maybe.

Endings are hard when you don't know how things end.

That's true for stories and for people, I think.

So we're both unfinished stories sitting in a cafe with cold tea.

That's a sad thought, but it makes me smile anyway.

Good.

Sad thoughts are better with company, and so is tea.

Should we order a second cup?

I'm not ready to go home yet.

Neither am I. The evening is finally getting comfortable.

Then stay.

Tell me about the short story you almost finished.

It's about a man who repairs old things and can't repair himself.

That sounds like you.

Is it really about you?

A little.

Writers always hide in their stories, even bad ones.

I want to read it, the unfinished version, if you still have it.

Maybe.

I need to think about it first.

It feels like standing naked.

I understand.

I won't ask again tonight.

Thank you, but I'll remember that you asked.

Good.

Remembering is your specialty, apparently.

It is.

I remember your smile from the photos, and it's the same.

The same?

I was sure I looked tired tonight.

You look like a person who is exactly where she wants to be.

I am.

That's a surprising thing to admit on a first date.

It's not surprising.

It's just honest, and honesty is rare.

Then let's be honest until the tea is finished.

Okay.

I'm happy, and I don't want this evening to end.

Me neither.

But Bruno is waiting and he gets angry when I'm late.

Then I'll walk you to the bus stop.

It's cold outside.

You don't have to.

It's only ten minutes from here.

I know.

I want to.

That's different from having to.

Fine.

But don't talk about bicycles on the way.

I promise.

I'll talk about the weather like a nervous man.

That's acceptable.

The weather is always a safe subject.

Then let's pay and go.

I'll get the cheesecake.

You get the tea.

No, we split everything.

I don't like being treated like a guest.

Okay, half and half.

You're a difficult woman, Maria.

I know, but you're still walking me to the bus stop.

I am, and I'm already thinking about the second date.

I am too.

链接在描述中。

我看到你已经点了芝士蛋糕。你什么都没承诺，记得吗？

我什么都没承诺，而且我遵守了诺言。这只是一小块。

那块比我的手还大。你一点都不知羞耻。

我今天工作了八个小时，而且完全跳过了午餐。这是我应得的。

好吧。但如果你在我们的谈话中睡着了，我就走了。

我会保持清醒。我从星期一开始就一直在期待这个。

我也是，说实话。我来这里之前换了三次衣服。

三次？我只换了一次衬衫，而且它本来就很脏。

在第一次约会时承认这种事太糟糕了。说点更好的吧。

好吧，我今天早上还打扫了我的公寓，以防你哪天来访。

在我们甚至还没坐在一起之前就计划这个很奇怪。

我知道。我告诉过你我很简单，而且我计划事情太早了。

没关系。我计划了我们的见面地点，所以我们现在扯平了。

那么，你这周怎么样？你上次写信时说工作很忙。

非常忙。我翻译了一份关于桥梁的合同，花了三天时间。

一座桥？听起来很无聊，但对城市也很重要。

确实无聊。我在办公桌上睡着了两次，我的同事笑了。

你的同事对你的Tinder冒险怎么说？

她说我很勇敢。她永远不会见来自互联网的陌生人。

我的朋友们也说同样的话，但他们仍然问每一个细节。

你什么都告诉他们吗？我希望你不要描述我的照片。

我只说你有一个好看的笑容，而且你写完整的句子。

完整的句子。这是我收到过的最奇怪的赞美。

这是真正的赞美。大多数人写三个字就消失了。

真的。一个男人只写了，嘿，然后问我为什么不回答。

你对他做了什么？你给了他第二次机会吗？

没有，我删除了对话，给自己泡了一杯茶。

好决定。我也会做完全相同的事。

那么告诉我你这周的事。你的店里有没有自行车爆炸？

差点。一个男人带来了一辆非常旧的自行车，轮子都是方的。

方轮子？那不可能。你现在在编故事。

不是方的，但很接近。轮胎可能瘪了五年。

五年？为什么会有人保留那样的自行车？

它属于他的父亲，他无法扔掉它。

这既悲伤又甜蜜。

你修好了吗？

我试了，但车架坏了。

我告诉了他真相。

他反应如何？

有些人听到坏消息时会生气。

他安静了一会儿，然后感谢我并把它带回了家。

所以他还是保留了它。

有些东西不仅仅是物品。

正是。

我认为你比你承认的更了解人。

我倾听。这与理解不同，但有帮助。

你也倾听你的客户吗，还是只倾听悲伤的自行车故事？

我倾听每个人。这就是为什么我的工作有时很累。

我从未那样想过翻译。听起来很孤独。

确实孤独，但我喜欢文字。我喜欢找到正确的词。

你最喜欢的英语单词是什么？我现在很好奇。

Twilight。它听起来很柔和，而且意味着美丽的东西。

Twilight。我喜欢那个。我最喜欢的词是sprocket。

Sprocket？当然是自行车男选择了一个自行车词。

这是一个有趣的词。它听起来像什么东西从楼梯上掉下来。

你说得对。现在每次看到自行车我都会想到掉落的楼梯。

好。然后你会想到我，这就是整个计划。

那是你的计划吗？把奇怪的词放进我的脑子里？

是的。简单的计划是最好的。它们总是有效。

到目前为止它有效。今晚我笑得比整个星期都多。

我也是。我的脸有点疼，这是个好迹象。

我们应该点些热的东西吗？咖啡馆变冷了。

是的，我要柠檬茶。我妈妈说它对喉咙好。

你妈妈？你还在听你妈妈的建议吗？

有时。她70岁了，她对感冒无所不知。

我妈妈住在波兰，她每个星期天晚上给我打电话。

每个星期天？那是很多电话。你们谈什么？

什么都谈。天气、我的猫，以及为什么我还没结婚。

啊，那个问题。我父母每个生日都问我同样的事。

你告诉他们什么？我从来不知道说什么。

我告诉他们我在等对的人，而不是第一个人。

那是个好答案。我下个星期天要偷用。

你可以拿去。我有很多这样的答案。都没用过。

没用过？所以你也单身很久了？

两年，就像我说的。第一年最难。

对我来说，是第二年。第一年，我太忙于哭泣。

这很诚实。大多数人假装他们立刻就好了。

我并不好。我晚餐喝了六个月的汤。

汤？只有汤？那不是真正的饮食。你需要肉和蔬菜。

现在你听起来像我奶奶。她说了同样的话。

你奶奶是对的。只有汤无法修复破碎的心。

没有什么能修复它。时间修复它，朋友，和小日常。

也许还有新的人。这就是我们今晚坐在这里的原因。

也许。一个月前我不相信，但现在我不确定。

不确定什么？关于Tinder还是关于我？

关于两者。我来这里时什么都没期待，现在我很惊讶。

我希望是好的惊讶？你还坐在这里。

是的，而且你的芝士蛋糕几乎没了，所以你一定很放松。

我很放松。这对我来说在第一次约会时很少见。你的第一次约会通常会发生什么？诚实告诉我。通常我会谈论自行车一个小时，没人阻止我。今晚我阻止了你两次，所以你在学东西。

我在学我喜欢被你阻止。

小心，那听起来几乎很浪漫，而我们才第一次约会。

我知道，我会把浪漫的句子留到第二次约会。

好，那我有东西可以期待了。

那意味着会有第二次约会吗？

喝完茶后问我。我在喝茶后做所有重要决定。

那就快喝。我会等，但我会紧张。

你看起来不紧张。你看起来像一个吃饱了的男人。

内心，我在数分钟直到你回答。

好吧，好吧。茶很好，咖啡馆很暖和，我很开心。

那是猜测吗？我需要一个明确的答案，拜托。

是的，奥斯卡。会有第二次约会。现在呼吸吧。

好。我过去两分钟一直屏住呼吸。

我注意到了。你的脸变成了奇怪的颜色。

那是我在压力情况下的正常颜色。你会学到的。

我想学。说这个很奇怪，但这是真的。

这不奇怪。我也想学你的习惯。

我的习惯很无聊。我早起，和我的猫说话。

布鲁诺。那只灰色又苛刻的。我记得。

你一直记得他的名字。布鲁诺会喜欢你的。

我希望如此。猫能闻到恐惧，而我怕猫。

你修自行车，但你怕一只小灰猫？

自行车不会在凌晨三点跳到我的头上。

布鲁诺有时会那样。他饿的时候会坐在我脸上。

那我会给他带个零食，并希望最好。

带两个零食。他很苛刻，一个永远不够。

两个零食给布鲁诺。记下了。我还应该知道什么？

我讨厌吵闹的餐厅，而且我完全不会跳舞。

我也不会跳舞。我上次跳舞是在我表弟的婚礼上。

怎么样？人们嘲笑你了吗？

我叔叔拍了视频，视频还在他手机上。

那是个危险的视频。你应该删掉它。

我试了，但我叔叔很喜欢它。他给每个人看。

那我们永远不一起跳舞。现在这是个规则。

同意。我们会坐着、聊天、吃芝士蛋糕代替。

那听起来像两个老人的完美计划。

我们不老。我们只是厌倦了假装年轻。

那是你整晚说的最好的句子。

那我会写下来，下次再用。

你写东西？像日记？

像手机里的短笔记。主要是故事的想法。

你还在写故事？我们发短信时你提到过。

是的，但我一年没完成一个了。它们都半途而废。

为什么停止？是结局难吗？

也许。当你不知道事情如何结束时，结局很难。

我认为这对故事和人都是真的。

所以我们都是未完成的故事，坐在咖啡馆里喝着冷茶。

那是个悲伤的想法，但它还是让我微笑。

好。悲伤的想法有陪伴更好，茶也是。

我们应该点第二杯吗？我还没准备好回家。

我也是。这个晚上终于变得舒适了。

那就留下来。告诉我你几乎完成的短篇故事。

是关于一个修旧东西但无法修自己的男人。

那听起来像你。真的是关于你吗？

有一点。作家总是藏在他们的故事里，即使是坏故事。

我想读它，未完成的版本，如果你还有的话。

也许。我需要先想想。感觉像裸体站着。

我理解。今晚我不会再问了。

谢谢，但我会记得你问过。

好。记住显然是你的专长。

是的。我记得你照片里的笑容，而且是一样的。

一样？我确信我今晚看起来很累。

你看起来像一个正好在她想去的地方的人。

我是。在第一次约会时承认这个很令人惊讶。

这不奇怪。这只是诚实，而诚实很罕见。

那我们就诚实到茶喝完吧。

好。我很开心，我不想这个晚上结束。

我也是。但布鲁诺在等，我迟到时他会生气。

那我送你到公交车站。外面很冷。

你不用。从这里只要十分钟。

我知道。我想。这与必须不同。

好吧。但路上不要谈自行车。

我保证。我会像一个紧张的男人一样谈天气。

那可以接受。天气总是一个安全的话题。

那我们付钱走吧。我付芝士蛋糕。你付茶。
