00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,040
buy the new high tech gadget that was being released today.

Speaker 3: His cousin, Rutka, pragmatic and wise, liked discovering new places

00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:19,839
with Yurka, but technology didn't interest her much.

59
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: Ratka la naviezzi.

60
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:27,000

00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:07,879
Speaker 3: The city was alive with the hustle and bustle of Christmas,

69
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,399
and Yurka felt the energy around.

70
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: Him Ale saim Nemovaro Gennanovi gig ne ma du Stpaennes.

71
00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:23,480

72
00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:25,079
have enough money for the new gadget.

Speaker 1: Tuviri kazistilnif omezenem lustrifdrum consimista.

83
00:08:14,959 --> 00:08:17,600

84
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:20,319
available in limited quantities at a store on the other

85
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:26,600

Speaker 1: Hapechi Nepriel.

87
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: He understood that time was his enemy Musi sitam dos tat,

88
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,840
so he had to get there as soon as possible.
