Can I have a word with you reply?

Member. To me, "I'd like to" is short for "I'd like to have a word with you", so it is a very polite answer; "what's that" is just straightforward, though it may not sound that good sometimes; "sorry, I'm too busy now" is the answer when you are really busy. So all these three are correct answers to me.
