1. 0:00Excuse me, can you help me?
2. 0:03Hello! Of course, what happened?
3. 0:07My car won't start, it seems the battery is dead.
4. 0:11I see. Do you have jumper cables?
5. 0:15No, unfortunately not. Do you have any?
6. 0:19Yes, I have cables in my trunk.
7. 0:23Oh, that's very good! Thank you very much.
8. 0:27You're welcome, I'll get the cables now.
9. 0:30Please open the hood of your car.
10. 0:34Sure, now... Here, it's open.
11. 0:38I'm connecting the clamps to your battery now.
12. 0:42Do you often help people in the parking lot?
13. 0:46Sometimes I help. It's no trouble if I have time.
14. 0:51That's a very kind gesture. Thanks again.
15. 0:56You're welcome. Do you park here often?
16. 1:00Yes, I work in the building nearby.
17. 1:03I see, I also come here sometimes on business.
18. 1:08Do you live in this area?
19. 1:11I live on Lenin Street, not far from here.
20. 1:15Oh, I used to live on Lenin! Now on Pushkin.
21. 1:20I see! It's a small town, everyone knows each other.
22. 1:25Yes, especially in winter when there are few people outside.
23. 1:30In such weather, batteries often die.
24. 1:34I've noticed. I'm always afraid I won't start in winter.
25. 1:39It's better to warm up the car every morning.
26. 1:43Thanks for the advice! I hadn't thought of that.
27. 1:47Tell me, have you had battery problems before?
28. 1:51No, usually everything is fine. This is the first time.
29. 1:56Maybe you should have the battery checked at the service.
30. 2:00Yes, I will definitely go to the service on the weekend.
31. 2:04What brand is your car?
32. 2:07It's a Renault. I've been driving it for five years.
33. 2:11Renaults are good cars. I used to have one.
34. 2:16And what kind of car do you have now?
35. 2:19I have a Ford Focus now.
36. 2:22Do you like it?
37. 2:24Yes, it's very comfortable, especially for the city.
38. 2:28I dream of buying an electric car.
39. 2:31That's great! But we have few charging stations.
40. 2:35Yes, that's a problem. I hope there will be more soon.
41. 2:40Do you often drive to work?
42. 2:44Yes, almost every day. Public transport is inconvenient.
43. 2:50I sometimes take the bus when there's heavy snow.
44. 2:54I also sometimes leave the car at home in winter.
45. 2:59Have you tried using taxis?
46. 3:01Sometimes I call Yandex.Taxi if I'm running late.
47. 3:06I use the app too. Very convenient.
48. 3:10How often do you repair your car yourself?
49. 3:14I do minor repairs myself. The rest go to the service.
50. 3:19I don't understand anything about cars.
51. 3:22That's okay. The main thing is not to forget maintenance.
52. 3:27Thank you, I'll remember! You have golden hands.
53. 3:31Thanks, nice to hear.
54. 3:34Do you have children? Or just work and car?
55. 3:39I have a son. He's in third grade.
56. 3:43Great! What's his name?
57. 3:46Dima. He loves cars a lot, just like you.
58. 3:51Maybe he'll become a mechanic or a racer?
59. 3:55He dreams of becoming a racer, but I'm afraid.
60. 3:59I understand, it's dangerous, but dreaming is good.
61. 4:03Do you have children?
62. 4:06I have a daughter, she's seven. She loves to draw.
63. 4:11That's great! What's her name?
64. 4:15Masha. She likes drawing cars and cats.
65. 4:19I have a cat too! A gray British Shorthair.
66. 4:24Oh, we have a ginger cat named Timosha.
67. 4:28Timosha is a good name for a cat!
68. 4:32Thanks. He likes to sleep on the car hood.
69. 4:36My cat likes to watch cars through the window.
70. 4:40Animals are so funny, aren't they?
71. 4:43Yes, they are never boring.
72. 4:47Okay, now I'm connecting the red cable.
73. 4:51Okay, I'm watching carefully, learning from you.
74. 4:55First to the positive of your battery, then to mine.
75. 5:00And then the black cable to the negative?
76. 5:03Yes, that's right! You're learning fast.
77. 5:07Thank you! Now I can help someone else.
78. 5:12Very good. Now start the car.
79. 5:16I'll try... Oh! The car started!
80. 5:20Hooray! It worked.
81. 5:22You are a true hero. How can I thank you?
82. 5:27Thanks, no need. Helping is a pleasure.
83. 5:32Maybe you'd like to have coffee with me? There's a cafe nearby.
84. 5:37Thanks for the invitation, but I have a meeting.
85. 5:41I understand, everyone has their own business.
86. 5:45Maybe some other time.
87. 5:48I'd be glad! What's your name?
88. 5:51My name is Alexey. And you?
89. 5:54I'm Olga. Nice to meet you.
90. 5:58Likewise, Olga.
91. 6:00Are you always this kind?
92. 6:03I try to be polite to people.
93. 6:06That's rare nowadays. Thanks again.
94. 6:11Always welcome. The main thing is to keep optimism.
95. 6:16I try. Are you in a good mood today?
96. 6:22Yes, the weather is nice, the sun is shining — and the day is good.
97. 6:27I like such days too. Spring is my favorite time.
98. 6:32Spring is a time for new beginnings.
99. 6:36Are you originally from this town?
100. 6:39Yes, I grew up here. And you?
101. 6:43I'm from Novgorod, but I've lived here for ten years.
102. 6:47Novgorod is a beautiful city. Do you visit often?
103. 6:52I try to go in summer. My parents live there.
104. 6:57I understand. Family is important.
105. 7:01Do your parents live here?
106. 7:04Yes, they live in the neighboring district.
107. 7:07It's convenient when everything is close.
108. 7:10Especially if you need help.
109. 7:13Thanks again for your help. You really saved me.
110. 7:18You're welcome, I was glad to help.
111. 7:21If needed, I'll know who to ask in the parking lot.
112. 7:26I come here often. Always happy to help.
113. 7:30Have a good day, Alexey!
114. 7:34You too, Olga! Good luck on the roads and fewer breakdowns.
115. 7:39Thank you, I'll be careful. Goodbye!
116. 7:43Goodbye! All the best!
117. 7:46The car is working now, I'll go pick up my son from school.
118. 7:50Great. I hope everything goes well for you!
119. 7:55Thank you, you made my day better.
120. 7:59Very glad. Have a good day to you and your son!
121. 8:03Thanks! See you again!
122. 8:07Goodbye, Olga!
123. 8:09I hope everything goes well for you today.
124. 8:12Thank you, I hope so too.
