Look at the dealer, look away, whatever. It makes it much easier to pretend you didn't hear.
If they persist in asking you to sit out, just say "no". Getting into verbal confrontations like this is major -EV, and it should be avoided if possible. Those ploppies often make a scene, and a few of them can get threatening or violent if they think you're making them lose.
These confrontations are a major part of a back-counting strategy, and it's important to handle them properly, or you'll get noticed.
