Yes! But you are substituting a wetsuit [for it]! I don't need it but if I had Patrick Swayze's head...)!
Yes! The order was for the black suit with a dog emblem! I don't need a wetsuit at all!!!
Likely, the guy ordered a black suit with a dog emblem, only to find that you are about to send him a wetsuit.
If he had appearance identical to Patrick Swayze (here he refers to the film "Point Break" where Swayze played a surfer) he could consider wetsuit, but he isn't like Swayze:)
------ Comments for learners:
- "Ес" English 'yes' transliterated in Cyrillic. Other way to do this is "йес".
- подставляете - lit. 'putting under'
to put/insert/offer something at a position (often instead of somethign else) to achieve a specific result.
Two things are stressed: 'putting' and 'under': 'putting an object somewhere to let something act upon it'.
A typical usage is with equations and formulae: you can "подставить" a certain value at the place of a variable (say X) to solve it; or "подставить" another variable or expression instead of X (to solve it, or to modify it, make a new equation).
may mean: he sees how ''wetsuit' is substituted for the 'black' one in the documents or the interface.
If he had _agreed_ with the seller on that he takes a wetsuit instead - he would use the word "заменять", substitute/replace.
- мне подставляете
'to me' 'for me'. Means: it is he who is offered this substitute.
- если бы была
Literally "if [there] was a head" or "If [...] had a head".
In Russian we say "there is X at me" instead of 'I have X'.
"At me" can be omitted, then it becomes unclear, WHO has X: we, I or John and Mary. It can only be derived form context. What remains clear is that someone has X:) In present tense "есть" (is, present) is necessary: it indicates presence of something.
-башка informal expressive (rude, but humorous) for 'head'. From Turkic.
