It’s basically just a conversation with play on words and they use some Russian words to rhyme or move from one topic to another
Dorbi – short for hello in Russian
Inch ka? – what’s up?
Rezini pakrishka, mekel mercedesi krishka – car tyre made from resin and the top of a Mercedes
Urish inch ka – what else?
Okroshka, draveshka – Russian cold soup, (don’t know the second one)
Tzov a eli – it’s a sea (literally) or there’s a lot/it’s a lot
Sevany che? – Sevan right?
*girl walks past
Vat chi vat chi – not bad not bad
Senc an eli – it’s like this
Urish? – what else?
*another girl walks past
Kamel senc – or like this
Heto lav ek? – so you guys good?
Manric – bit by bit (I think?)
Exav ape kerevam – okay I’ll see you around
Exav ereva – okay see you
*walks away
Erevum em? – can you see me?
Which parts exactly are you having trouble with?
I suddnely understood that I get eveything, the wordplays and what they mean in context, but this would sound super silly on any other language if I try to translate haha. But the level of joke with girls was on the level of “I love those big . eyes”. However i still use to say “Bana ele ape? Che lava!” from that movie (I’m 38 lol)
Do you speak Russian? If not, here are translations of some words: pokryshka (покрышка) = tire; kryshka (крышка) = lid; ot gorshka dva vershka (от горшка два вершка) = a phrase meaning someone is too small/not old enough (literally it means “two vershoks from the potty/pot” where a vershok is an old length unit that equals about 4.4 centimeters).
A lot of the ways in which he uses them is nonsensical but pretty funny. I was never sure where one can find a lid on a Mercedes, for example. No one would also describe how he is doing by saying от горшка два вершка. Aside from the farcical dialogue, the delivery is comedic gold and totally spot on.
Btw, another detail younger get folks may not get: the opening shot of an arch + tune is a parody of similar shots of arches from an 80s soap opera “Santa Barbara” that we used to be obsessed with in the early 90s 😂
One of my favorite movies/musicals ever!
