They respond by acting confused. They debate with Hamlet about Denmark being a prison. Hamlet eventually forces them to admit they were sent for by the king and queen.

Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks; but I thank you, and sure, dear friends, my thanks are too dear a halfpenny. Were you not sent for? Is it your own inclining? Is it a free visitation? Come, come, deal justly with me. Come, come. Nay, speak.
