Молодой человек, будьте добры, посадите дрон. Самовольные полёты над особо охраняемой территорией запрещены.
Young man, would you kindly land your drone? Unauthorised flights over a specially protected area are prohibited.

B
Простите, не знал. Хотел только снять скалы на рассвете, я же никому не мешаю.
Sorry, I didn't know. I only wanted to film the rocks at dawn, I'm not bothering anyone.

A
Это вам только кажется. На Втором столбе скалолазы, а жужжание над ухом на высоте, поверьте, отвлекает.
It only seems that way to you. There are climbers on the Second Pillar, and a buzzing in your ear when you're up that high is distracting, believe me.

B
Об этом я как-то не подумал. И какой мне теперь грозит штраф?
I somehow didn't think of that. So what kind of fine am I facing now?
-
A
Штраф бывает ощутимый, но на первый раз, так и быть, проявлю снисхождение.
The fine can be hefty, but since it's your first time, I'll be lenient.

B
Спасибо. Жаль только уезжать без кадров сверху: я ради такого ракурса из Новосибирска ехал.
Thank you. It's just a shame to leave without shots from above: I came all the way from Novosibirsk for that angle.

A
Не расстраивайтесь. На Торгашинском хребте, за пределами парка, летать, насколько я знаю, можно, и вид оттуда даже лучше.
Don't be upset. On the Torgashinsky Ridge, outside the park, you're allowed to fly, as far as I know, and the view from there is even better.

B
Серьёзно? Тогда покажите на карте, как туда пройти, а я вам потом лучшие снимки пришлю.
Really? Then show me on the map how to get there, and I'll send you my best shots afterwards.
