Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On

Stan leapt to his feet, yelled 'You'll never stop me!' and sneezed loudly.
"Oooh, its a mite chilly, isn't it?" he muttered, rubbing his arms and wondering why he didn't teleport somewhere nice and warm, like Fiji, Jamaica, or Mad Pete's House O' Heaters (on the corner of 5th and Williams).
Dellua tended to agree. His cat-fur was bristling uncontrollably, and for a moment he thought there must be a dog around, but then he realised each individual hair was freezing solid, leaving him remarkably porcupine-ish.
Only Shcktan seemed at home. Well, actually, he was at home. His parents Bob and Jenny were standing nearby, waving at him and cheering him on (they were so proud of their little boy, such a famous big-time movers assistant).
"идет мое меньшее munchkin! Двиньте тяжелые клети!" one of them called.
"Aaaw, мать спасибо, которая намеревается много к мне" Shcktan replied, blushing.

Anyway, grabbing the alien artifacts and John Wayne's rifle, Stan turned to run, slipped on a large patch of ice (the equivalent in Russia of putting a nice fountain in the mall to beautify it) and ended up sprawled on the ground.

Seizing the opportunity (Russia's national weapon, a long stick with the words 'Opportunity' (возможность) written on it, for use in the 'opportune' (opportune) moment), Shcktan turned, and seeing a mall cop come running towards him, yelled in Russian "быстро офицер, получает того человека лежа там, он украл alien артефакты и винтовку john Wayne's" which roughly translated means "it is rapid officer, is obtained that person lying there, it it stole alien artifacts and rifle john Wayne's" (Once again, we owe Babelfish everything).

But it was too late. Abandoning everything except the teleporter and the rifle, Stan ran (hee hee, that rhymes) into a nearby shop "A Good Place to Buy Weapons and Hide Stan" (a large Russian chain).

Dellua, Shcktan and the mall cop followed in cold pursuit.
