Пожалуйста, конечно. Только я в точности не так, как Вы уверена. Подождём нашего модератора на общественных началах.

I don’t understand any of this. What do you mean by SPLASH? Are these three separate sentiments, or a dialogue?

No Uly, it is not a dialogue. This is Tatiana's translation of the three isolated Russian phrases I wrote above.

Then I checked "splash" here. Noun, 4b and it seemed to me that clicked.

Понты is basically "showing off".
