  1. A

    Добрый день, вы курьер? Я вас вижу через камеру в звонке.

    Good afternoon, are you the courier? I can see you through the camera in the doorbell.

  2. B

    Ой! Вы где? Я уже три раза звонил, никто не открывает.

    Whoa! Where are you? I've rung three times already, nobody's answering.

  3. A

    Я на работе, в другом конце города, а говорю с вами через звонок.

    I'm at work, on the other side of town, and I'm talking to you through the doorbell.

  4. B

    У меня глаза на лоб полезли: голос есть, а человека нет! Что с посылкой делать?

    My eyes nearly popped out: there's a voice but no person! What should I do with the parcel?

  5. A

    Поскольку меня до вечера не будет, позвоните в сорок третью, соседу Виктору. Я его предупрежу.

    Since I won't be home until evening, ring at forty-three, my neighbor Viktor. I'll let him know.

  6. B

    Хорошо, но за посылку, оставленную у соседа, я уже не отвечаю.

    All right, but I'm not responsible for a parcel left with a neighbor.

  7. A

    Договорились. И спасибо, что не убежали, когда дверь с вами заговорила.

    Deal. And thanks for not running away when the door started talking to you.
