Russian term or phrase: Ах мы уже на \"ты\" перешли
Здравствуйте еще раз. В очередной раз сталкиваюсь с проблемой перевода местоимения "ты". Вот это место в ролике: https://youtu.be/41yv2AZl_x0?t=4m27s

Разговор активиста и водителя, заехавшего на тротуар:

- Да что ты говоришь!

- Я вам говорю, что это тротуар. А вы едете и пачкаете нас. Ну сами посудите, нам тоже неприятно...

- Кто тебя пачкает, молодой человек?

- Ах мы уже на "ты" перешли?

Подскажите, пожалуйста, как тут можно выкрутиться лучше всего.

- Who's splashing you, pal?
- Since when are we pals?
This is basically a slight variation of the answer above, so I won't take any credit for it :-)

Ранее по диалогу "ты" можно переводить u или ya.
