<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Sales tax is a tax that the companies have to pay, not the customer, per say. It's the company's choice on whether they charge you for it or not.</div>

Rosalina: But you didn't.
Robert: But I DON'T.
Rosalina: You sure that's right?
Robert: I was going to HAVE told you they'd come?

Rosalina: It would have had to have had been.
Robert: Had to have...had...been? That can't be right.
