What does this mean?
What does "something is on someone" mean?
For example,
"The arrangement is on me."

sabrynazulkyfly The arrangement is on me. I'm going to guess that this usage in the movie meant: I will pay for this . My guess is based on an analogy with a very common phrase: Drinks are on me .
