Russian term or phrase: Мне просто вот так вот нужно встретиться...
Здравствуйте. Помогите, пожалуйста, грамотно перевести на английский. Фраза в значении "позарез", "кровь из носу". Человек пытается объехать пробку по тротуару, и когда бдительные граждане останавливают его и пытаются заставить ехать назад, он начинает придумывать отговорки, вроде той, что указана в названии поста.
