Then, in town, they will fix up your leg (в городе твою ногу /живо/ приведут в порядок; to fix up — привести в порядок; починить; подправить) and then we will have some good destruction (и тогда мы уж помучаем друг друга: «у нас будет хорошее мучение»). Not that dreadful talking kind (и не этими ужасными разговорами: «не такое как это, с ужасными разговорами»; kind — разновидность, вид)."

"You don't have to destroy me. Do you? I'm only a middle-aged woman who loves you and wants to do what you want to do. I've been destroyed two or three times already. You wouldn't want to destroy me again, would you?"

"You'd better put on your mosquito boots (тебе лучше надеть ботинки от москитов)," he told her.

"That bastard crosses there every night (эта дрянь каждый вечер здесь бегает)," the man said. "Every night for two weeks (каждый вечер две недели /подряд/)."
"He's the one makes the noise at night (это та самая, что воет по ночам; noise — шум; звук). I don't mind it (мне она не мешает: «я не имею ничего против этого»). They're a filthy animal though (хотя они противные животные; filthy — грязный; мерзкий, противный
