Default Same To You

Dear Teachers,

A. Hey man! You’re really a crazy man.
B. – What do you say? / what did you say? / What have you just said?
- Which question is more natural?

C. Have a good night! / Have fun! / Have a nice weekend!
D. You, too. / same to you .
- Which answer is more natural?

Thanks

Namsteven

"What did you say?" is most likely.

The second one is probably more likely, but both are used.

I have to disagree with Ron here. "The same to you" is correct and common.
