This is a true statement. Philip says "I only wanted to thank you for your help", meaning that he appreciates Bethany's assistance, and wants to let her know that he is grateful.
This statement is true. Bethany says the conversation is being charged "at the rate of 200 dollars a minute". In this context, a "rate" refers to the "price" or "cost" of Bethany's time (and counsel).
This statement is false. In fact, it is the opposite of what Bethany tells us. Bethany says "since you are calling me on my home phone line and these are not office hours... this pleasant little chat we're having is costing you triple my normal rate". This means that Bethany's fees are three times higher than usual, which suggests that the "rate" (the price or cost of Bethany's time) is increased, not "reduced".
This statement is true. Bethany says that "the total amounts to 1200 dollars" for the previous phone calls, meaning that Philip needs to pay her 1200 dollars for their previous phone calls.
This is a false statement. Philip tells Bethany that "The guy paid us five days after the letter was sent", meaning that the letter had a very quick and successful effect. It is this positive result which leads Philip to call Bethany to thank her.

Bruno makes a concrete request to Sam, asking him to waive the service and transaction fees.
Bruno wants the fees to be canceled or deferred.
Bruno wants the fees to be canceled or deferred.
canceled or deferred: 'To waive' is a verb with two primary meanings. The first is to 'eliminate' or 'cancel', which is the sense in which it is used in the dialogue. Bruno wants Sam to 'waive' or 'cancel' the fees he is being charged by the bank. The secondary meaning is to 'defer' which means 'to set aside' or 'postpone temporarily'. The verb 'to waive' is frequently used in both financial and legal contexts. 'To waive the right to vote' is to 'relinquish' or 'give up' the right to vote.
reduced or decreased: The verbs 'to reduce' and 'to decrease' do not express the same meanings as the verb 'to waive'. 'To reduce and to decrease are 'to lessen' or 'to diminish', whereas 'to waive' means 'to cancel' or in some cases 'to defer'.
reconsidered or renegotiated: The verbs 'to renegotiate' and 'to reconsider' do not express the same meanings as the verb 'to waive'.
increased or raised: The verbs 'to increase' and 'to raise' do not express the same meanings as the verb 'to waive'. Bruno does not want the charges increased as he already believes they are excessive!
