    Here's the full dialogue:
    -Мне нужно в центр.
    -Десять баксов.
    -Но почему так дорого?
    -Как хочешь.
    -На Тверскую, пожалуйста.
    -Два счетчика.
    -Ну хорошо, поехали.

    So:
    -I need to go to the center (of town).
    -10 bucks.
    -Why so much?
    -Whatever. Have it your way...
    -To Tverskaya,please.
    - 2?????
    - Well, ok. Let's go.
    Заранее благодарю всех за исправление ошибок в моём русском.

    The bear looked at the car, and reflections of fire danced in his eyes. He knew what to do.

    Maybe, instead "2 счетчика" there must be "2 бакса"?

    ST's right. Double the meter fare.
