: For the reply, "You're the one with a screw loose." My absolute favorite such expressions are Australian: "to have wallabees loose in the top paddock" and "to be one stubby short of a six-pack."

- it's you who's off the rocker, maybe
BTW, with all due respect to our learned colleagues, "you are the one" is too 1800s to use on the streets of Moscow...
