English term or phrase: you brought it up.
Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra un padre che vuole un nipote e sua figlia.

A: Dad, I don’t want to discuss it with you. It’s complicated. And it’s an antiquated position to take anyway. Wanting a son to carry on the blood line.It’s not only antiquated, it’s a little insulting. I’m not a baby machine. Iwasn’t put on this earth to be a conduit for your heredity. I’m not just a provider of a uterus for the continuance of your lineage.
B: Oh God. Now we’re talking about my daughter’s uterus.
A: Well, you brought it up.
B: I didn’t bring up your uterus.

La mia proposta:

[...]
B: Oddio. Adesso parliamo dell’utero di mia figlia.
A: Beh, l’hai tirato fuori tu.
B: Non ho tirato fuori io il tuo utero.

Cerco soluzioni migliori, anche considerata la risposta del padre ("I didn’t bring up your uterus."). Grazie.

Sei stato tu a citarlo/che l'hai citato


Explanation:
A: Sei stato tu a citarlo/che l'hai citato.
B: Io non ho fatto causa al tuo utero.

Gioco di parole:
to bring up significa "menzionare- sollevare un argomento" ma anche "portare in tribunale"
