1. 0:00How beautiful it is here by the sea, isn't it, Olya?
2. 0:03Very much! I like watching the water.
3. 0:07This port reminds me of my childhood in Sochi.
4. 0:11Did you often go to the sea when you were little?
5. 0:16Yes, every summer we went with the whole family.
6. 0:20I didn't have that. I'm from Moscow.
7. 0:24There is only a river there, but the sea is something else.
8. 0:28Yes, the air is fresh here and the seagulls are crying.
9. 0:32I like this smell of salt and pizza.
10. 0:36The pizza is tasty, thank you for choosing it.
11. 0:40Do you like mushroom pizza? I love it!
12. 0:45Yes, but I like ham pizza more.
13. 0:48You know, I just like being here.
14. 0:52And I like talking with you.
15. 0:55What do you want to talk about today?
16. 0:59Maybe about love? Everything is complicated for me.
17. 1:02Complicated? Why? What happened?
18. 1:07I broke up with Lena a month ago.
19. 1:10Oh, sorry... Is it hard for you?
20. 1:14Yes, sometimes I miss her, but there were many problems.
21. 1:18What was the hardest thing for you?
22. 1:22Lena didn’t trust me. She often got angry.
23. 1:25Trust is important. It's hard without it.
24. 1:30How about your relationships, Olya?
25. 1:33I had a boyfriend, Sergey. We were together for a year.
26. 1:37But he moved to another city.
27. 1:40Do you talk now?
28. 1:43Rarely. He is always busy with work.
29. 1:47Do you miss that?
30. 1:50Yes, I want warmth and attention.
31. 1:53Long-distance relationships are always difficult.
32. 1:58Sometimes I wonder if I should continue.
33. 2:01Does he want to be with you?
34. 2:04He says yes. But he is tired of traveling.
35. 2:09I understand. St. Petersburg to Moscow is not close.
36. 2:13I miss simple meetings, walks.
37. 2:16Does Sergey have friends in the new city?
38. 2:21Yes, he has colleagues there, but I don't know them.
39. 2:25Don’t you get jealous?
40. 2:27Sometimes, to be honest. Are you jealous?
41. 2:31I used to be. Now I’m learning to trust.
42. 2:34It's hard when you have been betrayed before.
43. 2:38Yes, past mistakes interfere with new relationships.
44. 2:42But without trust, there will be no happiness.
45. 2:46You’re right. Did you have good examples?
46. 2:51My parents have been together for 30 years. Always together.
47. 2:56They argue but quickly make up.
48. 3:00Great! My parents are close too.
49. 3:04They love walking together in the park.
50. 3:07Do you have friends who often argue?
51. 3:12Yes, Dima and Anya. They are constantly fighting.
52. 3:16But still together?
53. 3:19Yes, they can't live without each other.
54. 3:22Sometimes love is patience.
55. 3:26And sometimes you need to know how to let go.
56. 3:29I often think: what does real love mean?
57. 3:34For me, it is support and trust.
58. 3:38For me, it’s respect and honesty.
59. 3:42It is important for it to be easy and calm.
60. 3:46Yes, so we can laugh together.
61. 3:50Have you ever cheated on someone?
62. 3:53No, I can’t do that. What about you?
63. 3:57Neither have I. I think it's wrong.
64. 4:01My friend once cheated on her boyfriend.
65. 4:04And what happened next?
66. 4:07He found out and suffered a lot.
67. 4:10That's painful. Betrayal is a heavy thing.
68. 4:15I try to be open in relationships.
69. 4:18That's right. Otherwise, only pain.
70. 4:22Would you forgive cheating?
71. 4:25I don't know. Maybe, but it’s hard.
72. 4:29I couldn't. For me, that’s the end.
73. 4:33Do you believe there is love for life?
74. 4:37I want to believe. But life changes everything.
75. 4:41Yes, sometimes people leave, sometimes they come back.
76. 4:46My sister just got married.
77. 4:50Congratulations! Is she happy?
78. 4:53Very. She and her husband met at university.
79. 4:59Do they have a beautiful love story?
80. 5:02Yes, they were friends at first.
81. 5:06Then suddenly realized they loved each other.
82. 5:10That's sweet. I believe in friendship between a man and a woman.
83. 5:15I don't always. Feelings can change.
84. 5:20Do you have close male friends?
85. 5:24Yes. But sometimes it’s hard.
86. 5:28Sometimes someone falls in love, and everything changes.
87. 5:32I had such situations too.
88. 5:35First friendship, then feelings.
89. 5:39What should you do in such cases?
90. 5:42Honestly say what you feel.
91. 5:45Are you always honest with friends?
92. 5:49I try to be open. It’s important.
93. 5:53I sometimes fear losing loved ones.
94. 5:56Me too. But it’s better to tell the truth.
95. 6:00Is it easy for you to make new friends?
96. 6:03No, I’m shy. What about you?
97. 6:07It’s easier for me; I like new acquaintances.
98. 6:11I have few, but very loyal friends.
99. 6:15Sometimes quality is more important than quantity.
100. 6:19I agree. Friends are needed to share joy.
101. 6:23And to support during difficult moments.
102. 6:27Do you tell friends about your relationships?
103. 6:31Yes, sometimes I share. Advice helps.
104. 6:35I often listen to what others share.
105. 6:39Sometimes a friend’s advice helps to understand yourself.
106. 6:43I have a friend who always supports me.
107. 6:47That's valuable. Have you had friends who betrayed you?
108. 6:52Yes, one friend lied to me once.
109. 6:55Did you forgive him?
110. 6:57It was hard at first, but then I forgave.
111. 7:01Well done. Forgiveness is strength.
112. 7:05Thank you. Are you able to forgive?
113. 7:08I try. But sometimes it hurts.
114. 7:12Do you ever get angry at girlfriends?
115. 7:14Sometimes. But we quickly make up.
116. 7:18That's good. The main thing is not to hold grudges.
117. 7:23Have you ever lost a friend because of love?
118. 7:27Once. We stopped talking because of a girl.
119. 7:32Do you regret it?
120. 7:35Yes, sometimes I think it could have been different.
121. 7:39Life teaches us to be wiser.
122. 7:42True. What is most important to you in friendship?
123. 7:46Understanding, support, and honesty.
124. 7:50And in love?
125. 7:52Love is care and respect.
126. 7:56Are you romantic?
127. 7:58Yes, I love surprises and evening walks.
128. 8:03Me too. Especially by the sea, like now.
129. 8:07This evening is special. Thank you.
130. 8:11Thank you, Olya. It’s easy to talk with you.
131. 8:14You are a good friend. I appreciate that.
132. 8:18I’m glad we met.
133. 8:21Let's meet more often. I like sitting like this.
134. 8:25With pleasure. Maybe here again tomorrow?
135. 8:29Let's! And we’ll buy pizza again.
136. 8:32Definitely! This time it’s my treat.
137. 8:37Deal. Let it be with mushrooms and cheese.
138. 8:41And I’ll choose juice. What's your favorite?
139. 8:45Apple. And yours?
140. 8:48Orange. It will be tasty.
141. 8:51The sun is setting. So beautiful.
142. 8:55Yes, the sky is pink. The mood is calm.
143. 8:59I love such evenings by the sea.
144. 9:03Me too. Let's just be silent for a while.
145. 9:07Okay. Sometimes silence is better than words.
