How would you translate, "Stand and deliver!"

How would you translate, "Stand and deliver!"

I'm looking for something that would have the same swashbuckling challenge as the old pirate phrase, "Stand and Deliver!" ("your money or your life!") I think "stand" in this case means more like "stand up" or "take a stand" or maybe "stop moving" - like when highway robbers stopped people in horse-and-carriages. I have no idea what a good (and maybe not literal) phrase would be to use in this context in Spanish.
