What is the best comeback you used on someone?

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.”
My friend got the camera at the price she was originally quoted.
