English term or phrase: I hear ya, sister.
Le personnage est un anglais pince sans-rire, élégant, une sorte de James Bond un tout petit moins sophistiqué. Il est dans un magasin de lingerie et parle avec le patron, un jeune travesti à qui il semble plaire. Le héros cherche une jeune femme qu'il escorte et qui devrait y être. Le patron lui demande s'il cherche qqch, le mercenaire lui répond "I’m looking for easy money" (blague liée à son job), le patron lui dit: Get in line. Et le héros de lui répondre "I hear ya, sister" .

Je l'ai traduite (grâce à l'aide de Kudoziens) par "Faîtes la queue". "-J'entends bien, p'tite soeur", mais ça me semble ne marcher qu'à moitié. Des suggestions? Merci merci!

c'est bon ma vieille / c'est bon vieille branche


Explanation:
sister est seouvent traduit par "ma vieille"
Etant donné qu'il parle à un homme, "vieille branche" (ami, camarade) permettrait d'utiliser un féminin sans trop choquer.

Sinon "c'est bon" ou "pas de problème"

Explanation:
c'est dans un sens familier à tendance humoristique... par exemple, mais un grand nombre de propositions des kudoziens veulent dire la même chose... à toi de choisir les termes qui te conviennent le plus ;-)
