Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Boris Shapiro

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Вообще конечно больше контекста бы не помешало.
В контексте говорится зачем оно тебе надо? Всякое может быть здесь,

"cut it" / "cut it out"

Оба сленговые выражения. Означают "перестать делать что-то".

drop it

As a more neutral option, but seems more appropriate here with the man imploring the other to stop doing something.

Peer comments on this reference comment:

disagree Boris Shapiro : Do you even read the usage examples from the idioms you're referencing? How can the doctor example be possibly interpreted to mean the Russian 'завязывать'? Завязывай?

neutral mrrafe : In USA, the meaning of "get (not come) off it" is more like "stop acting that way, stop being that way." "Done with it" would be "done with." // I understand, Turdimurov, but to me "В чем проблема?"must mean "давай сделаем." The speaker is angry

What I am thinking is here in the sense of "quit it" or forget it, зачем оно тебе надо? Without more context, we can't say anything. come off it, done with it, quit it, all are possible!
