DAN: I don't get why we had to incorporate the band. Why pay taxes at ALL?

A pause.

DAN: Roni, you're looking at me like I stabbed a pregnant woman.
RONI: THE VICTIMS ARE THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS, DANIEL!!!

RONI: My cousin says if we incorporate the band, we'll save money on taxes we pay on band revenue.
