Touché?

Explanation:
"Tu che" is not English. It is possible that the man said "Touché!", which is a French word often used in English.
Oxford English Dictionary definition:
The acknowledgement of a justified accusation, a witticism, or retort.

(ah!) très juste

Explanation:
1. just in case you don't want to use the French term.
2. because I personally have not heard French people use 'touché' in this sense, but of course 'ça, ce n'est pas une raison....'
