1 Who should we kill?: Although this question does use the term "poison", it is unrelated to the idea of killing someone. "Poison" refers to one's drink here.
1 What do you do for a living?: The question asked by the cabbie refers to Jean's preference of an alcoholic drink. It is unrelated to the question, "what do you do for a living?" which asks about someone's profession in life. For example: -What do you do for a living? -I'm a carpenter.

3 Let's get something to eat!: A "pint" doesn't refer to food, or something to eat, but rather to a beer in this context.
3 Let's have some fun!: Although "having a few pints" (drinking a few beers) is generally very fun, the meaning of these two expressions is quite different.
4 You've seduced me!: "You've pulled" is an informal, chiefly British expression meaning "you've succeeded in seducing me", or more accurately it expresses that a man or woman won't be going home alone on a given night. You understand, don't you?
4 You've got a strange accent!: This expression is unrelated one's accent or manner of speaking. This expression refers to a romantic interlude.

4 You're a bit pushy!: The cabbie isn't telling Jean that he is being aggressive or pushy, but rather that she is interested in him sexually.
