Островский, Рождённые бурей) — 'What do you think, Patlay - why does he jam his hand into his pocket every time they tweak his tail a little? Fright, you think, or is that a filthy habit of his?' Przygodski asked the man next to him.
- Всё в порядке! Ох, судья попался!.. От башка! Сразу ей хвост прищемил. Как, говорит, вам не стыдно! Какое самозагорание? Подожгла, значит, надо платить. (В. Шукшин, Суд) — 'Everything is fine! The judge was a clever young fellow, indeed! He put that shameless hussy in her place right off. 'You should be ashamed of yourself!' he says. 'There's no such thing as spontaneous combustion! You set it on fire, so you have to pay for it!''
