in a movie, two actors had this conversation :
player A: Oh you bought a chair!
player B: Uh, no actually , I borrowed it like we talked about (explanation: he took the chair from his office)
Player A : I thought we decided that it is like stealing
Player B : is that what we landed on that?
what does last sentence mean?
The short answer to your question is yes.
I imagine that the actual text is
Is that where we landed on that?
The interpretation is that in the course of the discussion there were several possible outcomes and they finally arrived at an agreement that it was stealing.
This is not a common idiom. It's easily understood but I'm not sure of its origins and I have never said it. Was this an old movie? Perhaps it's a usage that has fallen out of favor.
