1 weigh: "How much do you weigh?" is the most common way of asking for someone's weight. In the dialogue, Philip's friend Joe "weighs 250 pounds". Note: Phonetically, "weigh" sounds exactly the same as "way"!
2 pounds: A "pound" is a unit for measuring weight. 1 pound = 0.454 kilograms. In the US, it is common to describe people's weight in pounds. Example: The average American male weighs 191 pounds.
3 heavy: If something is "heavy", it weighs a lot and is difficult to move. Example: This dead body is very heavy.
4 light: If something is "light", it weighs very little. Feathers, pieces of paper, and leaves are all light!
5 gallon: A "gallon" is a unit for measuring liquid. In the US, 1 gallon = 3.8 liters. In the dialogue, Philip says, "I need to drink a gallon of beer just to tolerate you". Philip probably isn't going to literally drink a "gallon" of beer! He is probably just using the term in an exaggerated way to mean "a lot of liquid". Another example: When I cut my finger, I lost a gallon of blood!
6 How tall are you?: "How tall are you?" is the most common way of asking for someone's height. Example: -How tall is that French guy? -Jean is 1.44 meters tall. In the dialogue, Jean incorrectly says "(Joe) must measure 5 meters!". In English, the verb "to measure" is used to talk about finding the size of something. Example: We measured the length of the bed to see if it would fit in the bedroom. "To measure" is not used to describe how tall someone is.
6 How much do you measure?: Oops! We can't use the verb "to measure" like this!
6 How high are you?: We could say "How high is that building?" or "How high is that mountain?". Unfortunately, we can only say "How high are you?" if someone has taken drugs and we want to know how intoxicated they are!
7 height: "Height" is the measurement of how tall a person is. Example: Jean is of average height.
