You and Carlos? Forget it, asshole.
This is a dialogue in which Mario starts to mention Carlos and himself when addressing Juan. Juan, obviously annoyed, cuts him off. Here, the "nada" has the sense of "Don't even start talking about this," so I think the phrase "forget it" would be idiomatic for English.

cobblers
In my native east-of-England British English, Carlos y vos nada, pendejo might well be rendered as:
"Carlos and you? - Cobblers!"

There are, of course, many other typical English expressions that convey much the same sentiment, with varying degrees of vulgarity.
