Mick wants to "throw another prawn on the barbie" with Philip.
What in god's name does Mick mean by this?
Sorry, but no.
Do not confuse a "prawn" with a "pawn" which is a piece used in the game of chess. "Barbie" is not the name of a town, but an abbreviation for "barbecue".
Believe it or not, this is the correct choice. In Australian English, a barbecue is often referred to as a "barbie". Mick wants to "throw" a "prawn" on the barbie with Philip. A prawn is a type of large shrimp (a crustacean). The entire expression "let's throw a shrimp (or prawn) on the barbie" is an Australian expression which is an invitation to barbecue.
This is not what Mick is suggesting to Philip here. Mick is actually inviting Philip to a barbecue, and he does not specify where the barbecue is to take place.
Hmm. Although a Barbie is in fact a female doll with an unrealistic body, this is not what Mick is expressing to Philip here. A doll is a toy which usually resembles a human.

Shrimp cocktail is an appetizer (very popular in the UK during the 1980s) that is often served at parties and buffets. It is not an alcoholic drink, but is made as a sauce (or "dip") for raw vegetables or biscuits.

Sam ends the discussion by saying, "I'll be in touch".
Specifically, why will Sam contact the Delavigne Corporation shortly?

Sam ends the discussion by saying, "I'll be in touch".
Specifically, why will Sam contact the Delavigne Corporation shortly?
This is not a good choice. It is true that Sam suggests to Bruno that changing his loans would only be a matter of "talking to the right people", but this is not why Sam "is going to be in touch". Additionally, Sam has explained to Bruno that his current contract is more favorable than any restructured contract they could create right now.
This is not the reason Sam promises to "be in touch".
This is the best choice. Sam promises to send the details of the discussion to Bruno's account Icarus. Sam says, "I'll go ahead and send your accountant an email with all of this information". This information will be used by Icarus and Bruno to make a decision on the loans, which Bruno doesn't want to make right away at the restaurant. This is what Sam is referring to when he promises to get in touch with Icarus, Bruno's accountant.
Although Sam offers to reconsolidate all of Bruno's loans, Bruno refuses to make a decision immediately. Sam has explained to Bruno that consolidating his loans would not be an advantage for him, however Bruno does not make a decision either way. This is not the reason that Sam will get in touch with Icarus, Delavigne's accountant.
