1 allocated: "To allocate" is to give something officially to somebody for a particular purpose. Example: The CEO has decided to ALLOCATE more of his time to surfing. In the email, Bruno asks Brian "to cancel the statue project, and give the allocated money for the statue to charity".
2 unlock: A "lock" is a device used for securing things, usually doors, safes, boxes and windows. Therefore, to "unlock" (a door) usually means to open (a door) by turning a key. During Bruno's falls, his cell phone received a shock, so it asked him if he wanted to "unlock the keypad" or make the keypad "active". Fortunately, there was no damage because the phone was made from titanium!
