It's never off the table
I watched an episode of 'Friends', and in a conversation, Rachel said to Ross: "With us, It's never off the table", for Ross. What does that mean?
When people negotiate, sitting at a table, they may put down a contract, or written offer, for each other to read, and agree or reject. If the paper/contract/agreement is taken 'off the table' that means it is withdrawn. Something that is never 'off the table' is an offer, a topic, an idea, an agreement that is always 'on the table' - it can always be negotiated. The offer is always open

Keeping something "off the table" means that it's out of consideration; it's not an option or it's not available. So, when she said "with us, it's NEVER off the table," she means that it (whatever IT is) is always in consideration.
