Quotes 

• Johnny Rose : What is that? Is that a new lamp?

  David Rose : Yeah, I'm thinking of bringing homeware, um, into the store, so that's a write-off.

  Johnny Rose : That's a write-off? Do you even know what a write-off is?

  David Rose : Uh, yeah. It's when you buy something for your business and the government pays you back for it.

  Johnny Rose : Oh. And who pays for it?

  David Rose : Nobody. You write it off.

  Johnny Rose : WHO writes it off?

  David Rose : I don't know, the gov- the "write off" people! Why are we having this conversation?

  Stevie Budd : So if I need booze to get through my day, I can just write that off?

  David Rose : That's a stretch.

  Stevie Budd : But the skin care products you got this morning, those are a write off?

  Johnny Rose : What skin care products? You purchased skin care products?

  David Rose : OK, I am the face of the company. If I have acne, what does that say about the legitimacy of the store?

  Johnny Rose : That's not a write-off! *That's* not a write-off! This: not a write-off!

  David Rose : Oh. Well, the bedding's non-refundable, so...

  Johnny Rose : David, a write-off is a business expense used to reduce your taxable income.

  David Rose : OK, well then why isn't it called a "tax write-off"?

  Johnny Rose : IT IS! It is! You can't just buy things for yourself and write them off!

  David Rose : Well then I'll return some things. There's not enough space in here for the massage chair anyway.
