Part of the answer has to depend on when you think Hamlet figures out that Polonius is listening in. If you think Hamlet knew from the start, then he may be saying "No, I never gave thee ought." to make Polonius think that their relationship was less serious than it really was. Or possibly the return of the love-tokens tips him off, and his lines "Are you honest?" and "Are you fair?" are really intended for Polonius. Perhaps "Get thee to a nunnery" is intended for Polonius (perhaps to make him think Hamlet as angry with Ophelia to try to save her from being implicated in Hamlet's problems), and "We are arrant knaves all; believe none of us" is to Ophelia so she knows he's not really mad at her.

A number of people believe that Hamlet might become aware of Polonius's presence immediately before the line "Where's your father?" (Although possibly that may be when Hamlet discovers that Ophelia knows that Polonius is listening, or when he discovers that she has been planted by Polonius). In that case the lines "It hath made me mad", and "I say let us have no more marriages" may be directed to Polonius, the first to help reinforce the illusion that he's crazy and the second to get in a sly dig at Claudius and Gertrude.
