Make a move and you're dead.


Explanation:
I agree with Saraj. This is the way they would say it in American movies...
By the way, it is not "putsam"; it is "pucam".

agree  Said Kaljanac a.k.a. SARAJ: Why not, but then in Bosnian it would be "Maknes li se, mrtav si!" ; I already said for "stani" and "pucam"
