the big move

We've orders pouring in, just pouring. But, mind you, Smeeth, We've got to get a move on. We've got to pile up the orders now - make hay while the sun shines. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. II) — Заказы так и сыплются, просто дождем сыплются на нас. Но, понимаете, Смит, это еще не все, нам надо двинуть дело. Мы должны набрать сейчас как можно больше заказов - куй железо, пока горячо.

Of course, we're taking a big risk. We may get in jail any minute, and the control of the racket go over to somebody else. In the meantime, however, we're making hay while the sun shines, and even suppose we do get in jail, when we come out we'll come out as rich men. (W. Du Bois, ‘Mansart Builds a School’, ch. X) — Разумеется, дело наше весьма рискованное. Можем в любую минуту оказаться за решеткой, и тогда наш бизнес уплывет в чужие руки. Но, как говорится, коси коса, пока роса. Даже если нас и посадят, отсидев свое, мы выйдем на волю богачами.

I) — Некоторые из маленьких городов... никогда не видели цирка, так что дела Хаксби шли хорошо, и он поднял цены, решив воспользоваться моментом.
