Here is the full text:
– Давай поговорим про Германию? Стереотипы русских про немцев, про Германию.
– Во-первых, в нашем представлении немцы всё время пьют пиво…
– Пиво, да. Ну во всяком случае, ну… страна, где приходишь в ресторан и заказываешь пиво.
– Ну учитывая какое там пиво, там грех не выпить на самом деле, я здесь их понимаю.
– Там отличное пиво, да, пиво супер
– Потом педантичность немцев, то есть анекдоты ходят и в России, я не знаю насчёт других стран, но насчет вот такой… способности… или не способности, вот этого желания точными быть, то есть максимально чтоб всё работало, чтобы всё…
– А, да…
– Всё было точно, вовремя и так далее. И легенды ходят о качестве немецком, вот например, автомобили, например, ну на самом деле всё что говоришь вот «из Германии», это уже вот ощущение повышенного качества.
– Да, сразу ассоциация, что значит качественная вещь.
Translation:
– Let's talk about Germany? Russian stereotypes about Germans, about Germany.
– First, we imagine that Germans constantly drink beer…
– Beer, yes. Well, at least it's a country where you come to a restaurant and order beer
– Well, considering the quality of their beer, actually it's a sin not to drink it, I understand them.
– Great beer there, yes, super beer!
– Then German pedantry, I mean that there are anecdotes in Russia (I don't know about other countries) about the ability, or not ability, their desire to be accurate, to make everything work on the maximum level, everything to…
– Oh, yes…
– Everything to be accurate, in time and so on. And there are legends about German quality. For example, cars, for example… well actually everything. When you say «from Germany», you immediately have the perception of the good quality.
– Yes, it's the first association, means the high quality stuff.
