1 altitude: "Altitude" is the height of anything above the earth's surface. Example: Captain Ridiculous jumped from an ALTITUDE of 32200m setting a new sky diving record. In the dialogue, the controller asks Edward to "Say his Altitude". Note "say your altitude" is perfect for radio transmissions, however in everyday language, it would be better to say, "What is your altitude?".
2 Roger: "Roger" means "I have received your last transmission satisfactorily". "Roger" was the U.S. military designation for the letter R (as in "received") from 1927 to 1957. In the dialogue, the controller says "Roger Mayday" to acknowledge that he has received Edward's distress call.
3 pull up: "To pull up" is to move the "steering wheel" (or "yoke") of an aircraft back so that the aircraft's nose lifts. In the dialogue, the air traffic controller tells Edward to "pull up" because his aircraft is losing altitude. Note: "to pull up" can mean lots of other things in different contexts!
