Привет! Давай сразу на ты, чего церемониться. Я тебе программу составил.
Hi! Let's drop the formalities straight away, why stand on ceremony? I've drawn up a programme for you.

Ну давай... Непривычно, правда, но попробую. А что за программа?
Well, all right... It feels strange, mind you, but I'll try. So what's the programme?

Я не против, просто я сова, а тут ещё разница во времени. Может, не так рано?
I don't mind, it's just that I'm a night owl, and there's the time difference too. Maybe not quite so early?

Кто рано встаёт, тому бог подаёт! Ладно, уговорил: выезжаем в семь.
The early bird catches the worm! All right, you've talked me into it: we leave at seven.

В семь так в семь. Отосплюсь в машине, если не будешь всю дорогу работать экскурсоводом.
Seven it is. I'll catch up on sleep in the car, as long as you don't play tour guide the whole way.
