Всё, застрял. Тяжелейший диван, как его сюда вообще занесли?
That's it, it's stuck. What a heavy sofa, how did they even get it in here?

Давай боком повернём. Может, так пройдёт.
Let's turn it on its side. Maybe it'll go through that way.

Боком тоже не проходит. Ножки мешают, давай их снимем.
It won't go through on its side either. The legs are in the way, let's take them off.
