It's impossible! I can't leave my pet at the Customs.
It's most inconvenient. I can't wait for your superiors.
Nothing of the kind! This film is not pornographic.
On the contrary. I have declared everything.
No, I cannot let you go without a declaration.
I don't want to sign this document.
I refuse to sign any papers without a representative of our consulate.
I don’t agree with you. This is my medicine, not controlled substance.
It’s not fair! I’m not going to pay the tax.

C.O.: Are you travelling from Great Britain?
P.: Yes, sir.
C.O.: I guess you're a Londoner.
P.: No, not really. I live in Derbyshire on a small farm.
C.O.: Is this bird coming with you?
P.: Yes, it is.
C.O.: Have you got a vet certificate with you?
P.: Yes, here it is.
C.O.: I'm sorry, but it is not signed by a government vet.
P.: I don't think it is so important. It's just a pet bird. I'm sure it can't hurt anybody.
C.O.: Quite the contrary. Even a piece of fruit, a piece of sausage or one pet bird could be the means of introducing destructive pests or diseases into the country. I have to ask you to leave your pet here. I'll call the vet to check if this pet is free from diseases.
P.: It is so inconvenient!
C.O.: Unfortunately it's a must. Will you pass me the cage?
P.: It's impossible. I can't leave my parrot here!
C.O.: Calm down. I hope the inspection will not take too long.
P.: I fully disagree with your Customs rules.
C.O.: You are free to agree or disagree. How old is your parrot?
P.: I inherited it from my great grandfather. It's nearly 100 years old.
C.O.: Are you exaggerating?
P.: No, not in the least.
C.O.: Then you don't need to show it to the vet inspector.
P.: Why?
C.O.: Don't you know that in accordance with the Customs regulations you are prohibited from taking antiques out of the country?
