Thread: Help with Film Translation

Hi, I am an Italian guy, who is translating Sorokin's script of the film Moskva.
I need some help.

How would you translate this sentence?
Thank you so much my friends!

Майк Да...да...так... А витамины какие? Знаешь, давай так. Если он найдёт за сорок процентов, мы с тобой посмеемся.



Спасибо!!!

Да...да...так... = Yes...yes...so...
Знаешь, давай так = Ok, let's do it this way: ...

Give us please more context. Витамины can be vitamins, or drugs, or something else...
Если он найдёт за сорок процентов, - the context could help to understand WHAT will he find...

Well... This guy is talking to the telephone, he has just discovered that someone wanted to fool him (the guy who carried him dollars, gave him a bag full of one-dollar-bills instead of 100-dollar bills).
Then he answers to the phone and says that.
He had never talked about drugs...

Если он найдёт за сорок процентов
Maybe he refers to the bag full of bills.
It is hard to understant, because we can't hear the other guy who's talking to the telephone..


Anyway THANK YOU OLJA

Sorry again.. but there's another sentence I'm not sure about...
It is not so kind, sorry.

На хуй мне тебя наебыватьdoes it mean: I don't care nothing about you?

Это ж мой хлеб
This is my business

Нужен кто-нибудь из мальчиков...

My try:
На хуй мне тебя наебывать - for what's sake should I betray you?

Это ж мой хлеб - but it is what feeds me

better: why the fu*k should i screw you over? (although not familiar with this word)

its what i live for

Это ж мой хлеб. = This is how I make my living.

I don't think he means vitamins, if there is money involved it probably is drugs.

And what kind of drugs? Ok, let's do this. If he'll find it for 40 percent, we'll have a good laugh. [This is of course without having a clue on the context, maybe it becomes clear later on in the film?]

another passage I can't well understand...

Ты что, не пила никогда, что ли?
Минеральная вода — это минеральная вода. При чем здесь газ? Газ в ней присутствует в растворенном состоянии и выделяется, когда воду открывают. То есть когда происходит перепад давления

Didn't you ever drink?
Mineral water is just mineral water. What has gas to do with it? Gas is dissolved in water and escapes when you open a bottle. That is, when change in pressure occur.

another passage I cannot well understand....

- Ну, есть лишние бабки - пускай коллекционирует ножи
- Да в том-то и дело, что нет там давно уже никаких бабок! Долги. А у него в голове бабы и ножи.

Thank you guys for your help

- If he has too much money - then let him to collect knives.
(I'm not sure about "пусть он..." = "let him to...")

- That's just the point, he has no money long since! He has only debts. But he's thinking about women and knives only.

By chance, could someone translate me this passage?

ИРИНА. Пара негров. Он и она. Эдик и Виола. Дома у себя сырные палочки делали и по клубам развозили. Недорого. Купила три мешка. А мои козлы их не туда положили, ну и в них крысы забрались и крысят вывели. И я еще негру этому пятьдесят баксов должна осталась. Иду по Сретенке, вижу, он стоит. Я к нему подхожу, говорю: Эдик, не волнуйся, отдам я тебе эти пятьдесят баксов. А потом вижу, это совсем другой негр. Ты знаешь, не помню, говорила я тебе, я к Сережке ходила на телевидение. У меня есть идея сделать свое ток-шоу. Все говорят — у меня получится. Только бы долги отдать.

МАРК. Как ты можешь отдать долги. Ты способна их только делать.

ИРИНА. Зачем ты тянешь меня в постель, если тебе не хочется?

МАРК (завязывает галстук и смотрит в окно). Хочется, хочется...

ИРИНА. Хочешь короткий анекдот? Чем жизнь отличается от хуя? Знаешь?

МАРК. Догадываюсь.

ИРИНА. Жизнь жестче. Смешно?

МАРК. Весьма.

ИРИНА. Марк, чего ты таким церемонным стал? Ты же всегда делал то, что тебе хочется, и спал, с кем хотел.

Tell us frankly, what kind of book do you read?
Or is it a movie?

Hi, I am an Italian guy, who is translating Sorokin's script of the film Moskva.

Ok, here's my rough translation. probably, there are plenty of mistakes, but you'll get the idea. Btw, the Negro here is not an offencive or derogatory or anything. It's just a literall Russian word meaning black person.

IRINA: A couple of Negroes. Male and female. Edik and Viola. They made cheese straw at home and delivered it to clubs. Rather cheep. I bought three bags, but my assholes put it in the wrong place, so rats get to the bags and raised little rats there. And I still owe to that Negro 50 bucks. Once I walk on Sretenka and see him standing. I come closer and say, 'Edik, don't worry, I'll give you back these 50 bucks'. And then I see that's absolutely another person. You know, I don't remember whether I've told you or not, I went to Serezgka to the TV center. I have an idea to create my own talk-show. Everybody says I'll be good in it. Just need to repay the debts.
MARK: How can you repay? You're able only of borrowing.
IRINA: Why do you drag me to the bed, if you din't want to?
MARK: I want, I want.
IRINA: Wanna hear a joke? What's the difference between life and a dick? Do you know?
MARK: I can guess.
IRINA: Life is harder. Funny, eh?
MARK: Extremely.
IRINA: Mark, why did you become so ceremonious? You always was doing what you wanted and slept with anyone, you wanted.
