Louis Tully's party
At Louis's party, when the new couple arrive, he introduces them with some very personal and pretty grim financial information. I never noticed that until now.

but they're okay!
yeah, i noticed that too. i have been watching this movie since my childhood [was about 8 when it came out] and even back then i was like ---eh???
but that, i guess, shows you what kind of a twit Louis is and why Dana is almost aching to get away from him whenever he shows up. notice when she comes home on the night of the party how he desperately tries to sneak past his door.
i also thought it was a little douche for him to have a party for all his clients so he can write it off on taxes. really???
Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.
I thought the whole gag was to support him having the party for "business" purposes so he could expense it.
Back off, man; I support the reboot.
Hey, this is real smoked salmon from Nova Scotia, Canada, $24.95 a pound! It only cost me $14.12 after tax, though. I'm givin' this whole thing as a promotional expense, that's why I invited clients instead of friends. You havin' a good time, Mark?
He was my C.O. in Nam. CIA listed him as MIA but the V.A. ID'd his M.O. and put out an APB.

He either bought it close to the expiration date and marked down significantly or he just didn't buy a full pound and thought he got a good deal.
shareerm... even as a child I pieced together that he was giving this party for his clients -- therefore all things are business expenses and can be written off from his taxes.

I think he means that he got a deal on it. He's bragging about the real cost but also bragging that he got a deal.
Like somebody talking about a car, "The invoice on this baby is $56,000 but when I got through talking to the salesman I was out the door for $49,999." He's Louis Tully damn it. Everything is numbers. He tapes 20 minute work out and plays it back at 2x speed.
One of my favorite scenes in the movie. Rick Moranis was a genius.

he's all biz.

Louis was such a dork, lol. Even though outgoing, he seemed seriously socially awkward and didn't know how to talk to people. Didn't strike me as the type of guy to have many friends. His character was probably based on stereotypes of nerds back then.
