This statement is false. The meter man tells Kevin that his car will be taken to the impound lot, however there is now indication that Kevin will go to prison, or "jail".
This statement is false. Kevin's car is being towed, he is not being arrested. To be arrested is to be stopped by the police and taken to jail or a police station for a criminal offense. Kevin is not being arrested, his car is being removed for parking illegally.
This is a true statement. The meter man asks Kevin for his license and registration, the proof that he is legally permitted to drive and that he is the owner of the car. A driver's license is proof of the legal right to drive, and registration is the proof of ownership of a vehicle.
This is a true statement. The "meter man" in this dialogue tells Kevin that his car is being "towed". "To tow a car" is to physically remove it (using a truck usually). A car generally is towed because it isn't working properly, or if it has been parked illegally, as is the case with Kevin's car. If something is "taken away", it is being "removed".
