This statement is true. Jean tells Kevin that the English training method he is using (Johnson's Magic Method) will give him his money back if he doesn't master the language in 3 months. This is what is known as a "money back guarantee", and is often used as a "gimmick" or "ploy" to boost sales!
This statement is false. Kevin doesn't want Jean "to cover for him" (to replace him while he is away, and do his work), but rather to accompany him to the hospital, where he will undergo a surgical procedure to correct his vision.
