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!

2 expense: An "expenditure" is an "expense", or the act of spending money on something. Example: The expenditures for the office included money spent on office supplies, furniture and new computer equipment.
2 deferment: A "deferment" is a payment (of a loan for example) which has been delayed or postponed to a later time. Example: The bank required the loan be paid back in October, but I asked for a deferment until December. A deferment is not the same things as an "expenditure" of money.
2 loan: A "loan" is (generally) money given to someone with the intention that it be repaid at a later date. Example: The bank required the "loan" be paid back in October. A "loan" of money is not the same as an "expenditure" of money.
2 loss: A "loss" of money refers to money which no longer belongs to its original owner: either it was spent, lost on the stock market for example, etc. Example: Our third quarter "losses" made the president very angry. A "loss" of money is not the same as an "expenditure" of money.
