The subject is "Hello world".

Hello!

I am very glad that I can speak with you in English. Also, I am very glad
that I can think in English a little bit, of course. I'd like to say that
I finished to describe two films in English. I mean the films "Groundhog
day" and "Sweet november". Now I am working with another movie. I mean the
movie "Ace Ventura. A pet detective". The total size of text files, which
desribe these films is more than 100 Kb. Anyway, I have a question. I
hope, you remeber the movie "Ace Ventura. A pet detective" and you remeber
one situation when Ace came to the party, which was organized by Ron. Ron
is a millionaire and he's also a participant of the Superbowl in 1984.
Ace came to the party in order to obtain some information about Snowflake.
Snowflake is a dolphin, which [was!] stolen a short time ago from the
pool of a local football team. As you can remeber or as you can remeber,
Ace went into the bathroom and leaved it after a while. And when he came
out, he was wet. Unfortunately, I can't say in English a phrase, which I
can easily say in Russian, of course. So, the phrase is (in Russian):
"Потом он ударил себя по карману рубашки, оттуда брызнула вода и попала на
джентельмена, стоящего рядом." Or I can say this phrase faster. Потом он
ударил себя по карману рубашки, оттуда брызнула вода и попала на
джентельмена, стоящего рядом. So, I think that the Engish equivalent of
this phrase is the following. Then he hit himself on the shirt's pocket
and the water jumped out from there to a men, who was standing near Ace.
But I suspect that the real English equivalent is slightly
different. And I'll ask you to give me one...

Thanks in advance.

See you later!

Then he hit himself on the pocket on his shirt and the water squirted out from there to the man standing next to him .
