Schitt's Creek, Season 2

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

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

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

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

Johnny:
Oh, and who pays for it?

David:
Nobody, you write it off.

Johnny:
Who writes it off?!

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

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

David:
That's a stretch.

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

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

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

Johnny:
[gesturing] That's not a write off! That's not a write off! This?! Not a write off!

David:
Oh, well, the bedding's non refundable, so...

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

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

Johnny:
[yelling] It is!
