    Expression (reach)

    - You know who I am?
    - Not!
    - I am who you can never reach! (Please fix my English)

    Перевод: Я то, кого ты не можешь достичь!
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    Я тот, кого ты никогда не достанешь.
    Я тот, кого тебе никогда не достать.

    Слово "reach" (доставать, достать...) здесь непонятно.
    Нужен контекст, чтобы определить правильно ли поставлено слово.
    Another month ends. All targets met. All systems working. All customers satisfied. All staff eagerly enthusiastic. All pigs fed and ready to fly.

    Do you know who I am?
    No, <I don't>
    I'm the one you'll never reach

    Tried to "fix your english" without rewording it too much, but really that dialogue could be translated in English in several different ways depending on the context)

    Я тот, кто всегда будет впереди тебя?

    It must have been the fact that I had just woken up!
