Leave it all on the floor! (Forget every hesitation?)

Well I am unable to provide more context because
that's the beginning of the episode. After that they check how much time they have,
enter the mansion and ****** everything valuable they find.

Hi Madhulk,
I'd guess 'leave it all on the floor' here means, 'don't hang around afterwards' (i.e. 'don't bother to tidy up after yourselves!').
I'm not sure what the source for this is, but it looks like some kind of American pulp fiction.
I gather from other uses of this expression on the internet, that it can also mean 'Give it everything you've got!' (e.g. when the

Hi, yizhivika!
So your guess is the man is saying everything literally?
Then hold nothing back would be grab every valuable thing you can reach.

Hi Madhulk,
No; when he says "Leave it all on the floor", this gangster is speaking idiomatically. I don't know the sequence of events that follows this short clip, but if it's a robbery, then a literal interpretation of his words "Leave it all on the floor" would mean that the gangsters would leave their stolen goods on the floor, and I guess that would make them the dimme

OK, guys. Now I'm really confused about the two sentences: Hold nothing back, my brothers!
Leave it all on the floor! Do they speak literaly or figuratively and what do they actually mean?

Hi Madhulk,
It is quite possible that both "Hold nothing back" and "Leave it all on the floor" mean exactly the same thing here. They can evidently both mean "Give it everything you've got!", and perhaps the hoodlum/gangster is simply using the second of the two expressions for emphasis.
That said, it's also possible that "Leave it all on the floor!" does mean what I suggested i
