(Cut to:INT. MEYER HOUSE - SUSAN- WORK STUDIO --- DAY JULIE paces the floor walking back and forth, throwing the soccer ball up and down as she talks. SUSAN is working on her illustrations.)
JULIE: (to SUSAN) His wife died a year ago, he wanted to stay in LA but there were too many memories. He's renting for tax purposes, but he's hoping to buy a place real soon.
SUSAN: I can't believe you went over there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Cut to:BREE slides back into their booth, where REX is sitting.)
BREE: Okay, well, I got you the honey mustard dressing; the ranch looked just a little bit suspect. (starts cutting the bread as REX sighs, starting on his salad)
REX: (chews the salad as he watches BREE) Are we gonna talk about what I just said?
BREE: If you think I'm gonna discuss the dissolution of my marriage in a place where the restrooms are labelled "chicks" and "dudes "(looks up at REX), you're out of your mind.

Guys: What do the blue lines on the above mean? Any suggesion?
Please call me Na'vi!

He is renting in order not to be heavily taxed by the government. In Taiwan, renting expenses can be used to deduct taxable income. My guess is that's also the case in US.

Hi Na'vi,

Here "the ranch looked just a little bit suspect" means the ranch dressing didn't look good anymore. It looked too old, or kind of yucky, or looked like it could make people sick. Used elsewhere, this expression can mean looking "weird" or "suspicious".
