Meaning of "you should ask back here"

I found the following sentence on a movie. According to the context, he was reluctant to answer the question and it seems as though it was telling that "you should ask that question later". However, I'm not precisely sure about it and I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know what is the meaning of "you ask back here" in the following sentence.


Right, yeah, that's the sort of question you ask back here.


In addition, please someone let me know whether the following sentence and the above sentence are same in meaning. Please note that I just edited the former.

Right, yeah, that's the sort of question you ask should back here.

I found this transcript of the dialogue These people are at a wedding reception. The focus of a reception is the bride and groom, so tables near them are said to be at the front

Tables at the back are where unimportant guests who scarcely know the bride are seated. Often, the various people at tables in the back do not even know each other.

Eloise, what's your connection to the
