Russian term or phrase: Руку
Здравствуйте еще раз. Подскажите, пожалуйста, как в данном случае лучше перевести. Вот это место в ролике: https://youtu.be/3LP44Ssy_AY?t=3m25s

Водитель выходит из машины и начинает преследовать оператора, активисты преграждают ему дорогу руками. Водитель останавливается, и в процессе разговора несколько раз произносит.

- Руку! Руку, парень, руку!

- Что руку?

- Руку, парниша! И ты в сторону тоже отойди.

Вроде все просто, но тут столько вариантов, что сложно остановиться на каком-то конкретном. А как бы вы перевели?

English translation:Hands off
Explanation:
Как обычное восклицание в разговорной речи: "Руки убрал!" или "Руки прочь!".

Hands off, dude!

"Dude" передаст пренебрежительную интонацию говорящего.

agree  El oso: I would leave out the 'dirty' part, though.That sounds like overstating the case a little bit :-)// Just for the record, ILAN: 'el' is the Spanish for 'the', and 'oso' means 'bear'. Please call me oso. Thank you.
