Ну что, Паш, в отделе нас двое осталось. Остальные все на больничном.
Well, Pasha, there are just two of us left in the department. Everyone else is on sick leave.

Телефоны разрываются. Я за утро уже тридцать звонков принял.
The phones are ringing off the hook. I've taken thirty calls this morning already.

Держимся. Поскольку мы с тобой последние здоровые, болеть нам нельзя.
We're holding on. Since you and I are the last healthy ones, we can't get sick.

Апчхи! Извини... Да это пыль, наверное.
Achoo! Sorry... It's just dust, probably.

Пыль? Ты весь красный, и глаза как у кролика. Иди-ка домой, Паша.
Dust? You're all red, and your eyes are like a rabbit's. Off you go home, Pasha.

Я нормально себя чувствую! Кто без меня будет звонки принимать?
I feel fine! Who'll take the calls without me?

Я приму. Иди лечись и завтра не приходи, а то заразишь последнего здорового.
I will. Go get better and don't come in tomorrow, or you'll infect the last healthy man.
