What is the best comeback you used on someone?

My friend got the camera at the price she was originally quoted.
In the ’70s to ’90s I was a paramedic in San Francisco, where those of us employed by the City were public safety officers. I took a friend camera shopping in a neighborhood with many small shops for photo and other electronic equipment. At one shop, my friend found a camera she liked, and got a price from the salesperson, but wanted shop a couple other stores before deciding.
We returned a short time later, and the salesperson refused to sell her the camera for the price he had quoted. When I challenged him, he said “I’ll call the police.” I displayed my badge, and said “The phone number is 553–0123. Would you like the number for the district station? You can tell them badge number xxx is here with you.”
