  1. A

    Добрый вечер! Мне два чизбургера, большую колу и картошку фри, пожалуйста.

    Good evening! Two cheeseburgers, a large cola and fries, please.

  2. B

    Двенадцать чизбургеров, кола и картошка, верно? Проезжайте к окну, там оплата.

    Twelve cheeseburgers, a cola and fries, is that right? Drive up to the window, you pay there.

  3. A

    Ого, почему с карты списали почти три тысячи? И откуда столько пакетов?

    Whoa, why did almost three thousand come off my card? And where did all these bags come from?

  4. B

    Вы же сами заказали двенадцать, я переспросил, и вы сказали «верно».

    But you ordered twelve yourself, I asked again, and you said "right".

  5. A

    Два! Я сказал «два»! Ваш динамик так хрипит, что и сто двенадцать можно услышать.

    Two! I said "two"! Your speaker crackles so badly you could hear a hundred and twelve.

  6. B

    Простите, пожалуйста! Могу вернуть деньги за оплаченный заказ, но приготовленные бургеры придётся выбросить.

    I'm so sorry! I can refund the order you paid for, but the burgers that are already made will have to go in the bin.

  7. A

    Не выбрасывайте, у сына в футбольной команде как раз двенадцать мальчишек! Не было бы счастья, да несчастье помогло.

    Don't throw them out, my son's football team has exactly twelve boys! It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good.
