Лёш, у меня новость. Я согласился на работу во Владивостоке, в порту.
Lyosha, I've got news. I've accepted a job in Vladivostok, at the port.

Во Владивостоке? Это же за тридевять земель, и когда ты туда собрался?
In Vladivostok? That's the other end of the earth, and when are you planning to go?

В следующем месяце, так что отъезд не за горами. Прости, что не сказал раньше.
Next month, so the move isn't far off. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

Вот спасибо, друг! Двадцать лет дружим, а я узнаю последним.
Thanks a lot, pal! We've been friends for twenty years, and I'm the last to know.

Боялся, что обидишься. Но, несмотря на расстояние, мы же всё равно друзья?
I was afraid you'd be hurt. But despite the distance, we're still friends, aren't we?

Друзья, куда деваться. Но с тебя гостевая комната и крабы на ужин, когда прилечу!
Friends, what else. But you owe me a guest room and crab for dinner when I fly in!

Договорились! Комната будет с видом на море, а крабы самые большие, обещаю.
Deal! The room will have a sea view, and the crabs will be the biggest ones, I promise.
