Select the TRUE statements from the list below according to this conversation.

There may be more than one correct answer!

Bruno has money he could use to finance Herbert's film.

This statement is true. Bruno says "it seems I have a bit of cash lying around" meaning that he has enough money to finance the film. "(To have money) lying around" is to have money which is not being used, or is "idle".

By helping Herbert, Bruno would have many responsibilities in producing the film.

This statement is false. Herbert tells Bruno, "You could be a silent partner. That means your name will be all over it but you don't have to do a thing." Herbert says that a "silent partner" is someone who gets a lot of recognition, but doesn't have to contribute any effort.

Bruno hasn't committed to supporting Herbert's film.

This statement is false. Bruno says "Mr. Broccoli, let's make a movie", which indicates that he is sure about making a film with Herbert, not that he hasn't committed to it.

Herbert believes his new film will earn millions of dollars.

This is a true statement. Herbert is confident that his new film will be a success. He says, "my last film grossed 100 million dollars at the box office and my next one is predicted to do the same."
