This statement is false. Bruno says "if anything, I would recommend Spanish or Chinese courses" which indicates that he believes that non-English languages are important and should be spoken in the business environment.
This statement is false. Bruno says "If anything, I would recommend Spanish or Chinese courses." This does not mean that he has already recommended Spanish or Chinese courses. Moreover it means that if Bruno was given the choice between French, Spanish, and Chinese language lessons for his employees, he would be more likely to choose Spanish or Chinese because he feels they are more useful in a business context.
This is a true statement. Bruno says that Leonard represents "two people at this office: Dave in the cafeteria, whom you bribed with two beers and a piece of cake, and Laura in accounts, who thought she was signing up for a cruise to Hawaii." To "bribe (someone)" is to pay them money to exert their influence or provide a service. Officials with important positions are generally bribed, such as policemen or judges. For example: The defendant bribed the judge in order to receive a lighter sentence. If Laura thought she was signing up for a cruise, she was misled or deceived by Leonard. This statement tells us that Leonard used dishonest methods to recruit Laura and Dave for his union.
This statement is false. Bruno says to Leonard, "You basically represent two people at this office." This means that only two employees of the Delavigne Corporation are members of Leonard's labor union.
This is a false statement. There is no indication that Bruno has reconsidered his position on French lessons, he is still against them. Firstly Bruno says "Come on, Leonard. No one wants to learn French these days", which establishes his position against providing French lessons. Secondly when he says "French is over! It's a lost cause, particularly in today's business environment", Bruno is questioning the need for French lessons in the workplace. A "lost cause" is a cause for which is not worth fighting for, has already been defeated.

1 bribe: "To bribe (a policeman)" means to give money "illegally" to a policeman in order to get them to act in your favour. In the dialogue, when Bruno tells Leonard that he "bribed" Dave in the cafeteria "with two beers and a piece of cake". He means that he gave Dave two beers and a piece of cake so that Dave would join the union.
2 cruise: A "cruise" is a sea voyage often for pleasurable purposes. They are less common than they once were, partly because air travel is much cheaper, and partly because nobody likes to see old people drowning. In the dialogue Bruno says that Leonard recruited Laura in accounts to join the union because she "thought she was signing up for a cruise to Hawaii", this means that he persuaded Laura to join the union, because she thought she would go on a boat trip to Hawaii.
