1- What does “There got it” mean?
“There, [I] got it.”
Chips finished what he was doing. He got all of the Scotch tape.

2- What does “I got all the scotch tape for you” mean?
Literally, he has gotten all the Scotch tape so he could take it to her.
The joke is that he decided to take the tape off of the handy little roll before taking it over to her.

The tape was on the counter. He picked it up.
