- Moira Rose: Do you remember what Goldie Hawn told us at the amfAR dinner? 'You are the life you accept for yourself.' Those are Goldie's words. Or something someone said to her. In india. Or, perhaps she read it. In any case it has always stayed with me. I will not accept this life and neither should you.
- 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.
