This statement is true. Brent asks Ray to call the studio once he is "closer to a major city", and Ray agrees to do this when he says "sounds good". "Close" and "near" are synonymous in this context. Both terms describe proximity to a location.

This statement is true. Bob asks Luna if he should "hide" a slice of his birthday cake, after seeing Horatio eating most of it. "To hide (a piece of cake)" is to put it in a place where no one can find it.
This statement is true. Luna says that because Bob is a "Virgo" (the astrological sign of people born in late August or early September), he appreciates chocolate cake.
This is the only statement which is false. Bob begins the dialogue by telling Luna "I can't believe everyone showed up" and then says that "even the elevator man is here". To "show up" is a phrasal verb which means "to attend" or "go to an event". The sentence indicates that many people actually came to Bob's party, including the elevator man.
