Жалко камеру, а машину не жалко?

Russian to English Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Здравствуйте еще раз. Помогите, пожалуйста, правильно перевести из того же ролика. Вот это место (осторожно - по ссылке присутствуют маты): https://youtu.be/qL9SWJ_gVWw?t=5m36s

Рассерженная женщина преследует девушку-оператора после того, как ей наклеили на авто наклейку:

- Не подходите ко мне!

- А что, жалко камеру-то, б***, а машину не жалко?

To all who answer... Please keep in mind these are subtitles for video clips. It pays to be short and sweet whenever you can. Otherwise, the viewers simply won't be able to keep up, and that's IF the words even fit on the screen.

You are afraid for yor camera

"You are afraid for (the safety of) your camera, aren't you?! Yet vandalizing my car was perfectly okay with you. Nice!"

Another way to put it:
"You seem to be worried about your camera now.
You didn't seem the least bit worried when my car was being vandalized, though!"

Just tweaking my version in light of Mark's comment:
"Vandalizing my car is ok, while your camera is sacred."
This is probably as short and (hopefully!) sweet as it could get :-)

So you're feeling sorry for your camera but not for my car?

Или, дословно по ролику:
What's that, you're feeling sorry for a f***ing camera but not for my car, eh?!

Please see below

That was no big deal messing with my car but your camera is a big no-no [off-limits], right?

Stressing out over the camera, aren't we? (+see below)

Stressing out over the camera, aren't we? And my car - to hell with it, eh?
