    Recording myself with my costume - need help with grammar

    Check if what I wrote in Russian is correct, please. No need to translate the English text to Russian

    It's a text for my cyborg female costume. She's going through an interrogation here by an American.
    --------------------------------


    What's your name?

    Зоя: Я модель ЗО-12. Обороняющая, обезоруживающая и освобождающая. В бою, меня зовут Зоя.

    Where are you from ?

    Зоя: СССР.

    The soviet union does no longer exist.

    Зоя: невозможное высказывание

    What is your goal?

    Зоя: Защищать СССР.

    I don't think your software is updated. Who made you?

    Зоя: Это секретная информация. Вам нужен пароль.

    What do you want?

    Зоя:
    Защищать СССР. Убивать немцев. Убивать американских шпионов. Вести великий СССР к славе! Я - избавитель СССР. Я - надежда людей.

    what's your "fighting record"?

    Зоя: Я убила 253 немцев, ранила 34. Уничтожила 5 танков: 3 Пантеры IV, 2 Тигра II.

    How old are you? How long have you been functioning?

    A: Это секретная информация. Вам нужен пароль.

    FBI male: Where are we supposed to know the password from?

    Зоя: Вам нужен пароль.

    Let's see... your password is: Да здравствует коммунизм!

    Зоя: доступ запрещен. 2 попытки оставят

    How about - Ленин великий нам путь озарил

    Зоя: доступ запрещен. 1 попытка оставит

    FBI male: This is hopeleses... get me every possible soviet slogan and codeword you can find.

    END FIRST SCENE

    The FBI dude should've asked for "a list of every possible Russian obscenity you can find."

    And I would've guessed something more like "Гитлер -- п*дор"!

    P.S. I think невозможное высказывание was intended to translate "Impossible statement," but I would suggest that what Valda really wants here is an appropriately "pseudo-technical" Russian translation of:

    "DOES NOT COMPUTE!"
    "DOES NOT COMPUTE!"
    "DOES NOT COMPUTE!"
    "DOES NOT COMPUTE!"

    (Because "Does not compute!" or "Illogical, unable to compute!" was such a шаблон in older English-language sci-fi about robots and cyborgs -- along with faster-than-light spaceships that used punch-card computers! And see also: "I know not this concept 'Love' of which you speak, Earth-Man...")

    Aren't you a native Russian speaker living in the U.S.? You probably have an accent, and that's all you really need...

    Yes, in the clip I just pronounce those numbers in Russian



    Well anyway, it was all just for fun... At the end I didn't do what I planned... I just tried to practice the phrases...it was very hard to pronounce. I gave up relatively early but made this mish-mash

    Sounds hilarious. Providing your ciborg is such warlike creature, she may join Barmaley Ltd with headquarters in Mogadishu to take much more American hostages. There’re inordinately munificent at the moment and offer up to 14.65 % of the amount of ransom for the head of each hostage, including VAT. Here is their official promotional recruiting trailer
    Детям. Айболит. Бармалей. Врунгель. - YouTube

    PS: You might want to learn new words with sounds. In the case your chance of avoiding such hard to relearn slips as тайгер instead of тигр is much higher.

    Here is what I meant to post. Lampada, deleate the previous rubbish please.
