Слушай, уже полночь, а очередь почти не движется. Может, ну его?
Listen, it's already midnight and the line's barely moving. Maybe forget it?

B
Ты что? Мы в этот музей днём за десять лет так и не собрались.
Are you kidding? In ten years we never got around to visiting this museum in the daytime.

A
Днём хотя бы спокойно. А тут яблоку негде упасть.
At least it's quiet in the daytime. Here it's packed solid.

B
Так в этом и смысл! Где ты ещё ночью по музею погуляешь?
But that's the whole point! Where else can you wander around a museum at night?

A
Ладно, уговорил. Но если к часу не зайдём, я домой.
All right, you've talked me into it. But if we're not in by one, I'm going home.

B
Смотри, охранник машет: «Ещё двое, и закрываем!» Это же мы!
Look, the guard's waving: 'Two more and we're closing!' That's us!

Вот это везение! Знаешь, несмотря на очередь, я рад, что остался.
What luck! You know, despite the line, I'm glad I stayed.
