1 debt: "To be in debt (to the bank)" is to "owe" money to the bank. On its own, the term indicates an obligation, often financial. For example: the bank lent me 5000 dollars to buy a car, and now I am in debt. In this conversation, Bruno warns Harold that it will be impossible for him to "stay out of debt" if he continues to spend money on expensive luxuries. Note that the "b" in "debt" is not pronounced.
2 wasteful: "Wasteful (spending)" refers to expending money without care or prudence. In this sentence, someone who has ordered a lot of food, eaten little, and disposed of the rest can be considered "wasteful". Note that the term can apply to a person, (as it does in this example), but also an action (as it does in the conversation). In the conversation between Harold and Bruno, Bruno calls Harold's recent purchase of a "condo" in Miami an example of "wasteful spending". Another example: Don't be so wasteful with that paper, we should be trying to save the trees.
3 condo: A "condo", an abbreviation for "condominium", is an apartment within a building complex. These apartments are generally owned (bought and sold), and not rented. In this conversation, Harold tells Bruno that he just bough a condo in Miami.

1 within: "Within" is the correct term here. "Within" shares a similar meaning with "in" or "inside". To do something "within four days" is to do it in "under four days".
2 four: "Four" is the correct term here. Bethany says that the matter should be "resolved within four working days".
3 business: "Business" is the correct term here. The issue should be resolved "within four business days". A "business day" or "working day" is a day on which companies function. This is usually five days per week: Monday to Friday.
4 days: "Days" is the correct term here. The issue should be resolved "within four business days". A "business day" or "working day" is a day on which companies function. This is usually five days per week: Monday to Friday.
5 commence: "Commence" is the correct term here. Bethany says that Philip's company may "commence legal proceedings". To "commence" shares a similar meaning with to "begin" or to "start".
6 legal: "Legal" is the correct term here. "Legal" is an adjective derived from the term "law". "Legal proceedings" refer to action taken in a court of law.
7 proceedings: "Proceedings" is the correct term here. The term "proceedings" refers to a particular "course of action" or "measure". Here, Bethany is talking about "legal proceedings", which refers to "legal action", such as a court case to recover the money owed to the Delavigne Corporation.
8 recover: "Recover" is the correct term here. In this context, the term "to recover" means "to get back" or "to regain". Here, Bethany is talking about "recovering a debt", meaning "to collect a sum of money".
9 debt: "Debt" is the correct term here. A "debt" is something (usually money) owed to someone. Here, Bethany is talking about "recovering a debt", meaning "to collect a sum of money". Example: "I have a huge debt because I went to University".
10 further: "Further" is the correct term here. In this context, the term "further" shares a similar meaning with "more" or "additional". Bethany says that no "further notice" will be given, meaning that no additional warning will be given to the client before legal action is taken against them.
11 notice: "Notice" is the correct term here. The term "notice" shares a similar meaning with "warning" in this context. Bethany says that no "further notice" will be given to the client if payment is not remitted immediately. Example: "You must give me advance notice when you want to borrow my clothes".
12 court: "Court" is the correct term here. A "court (of law)" is the place where, among other things, trials take place to judge whether people are guilty or innocent of crimes. To "tender (a letter) in court" is to use or present it as "evidence" or "proof".
13 evidence: "Evidence" is the correct term here. The term "evidence" shares a similar meaning with "proof". It is often used in a legal context.
14 failure: "Failure" is the correct term here. A "failure (to do something)" describes an "omission" or "lack" of action. Example: "You failed to reply in time, so the offer is no longer valid". In another context, a "failure" is the opposite of a "success".
15 attempt: "Attempt" is the correct term here. "To attempt" shares a similar meaning with "to try" or "to make an effort". Here, Bethany says that the client has failed "to attempt settlement", meaning that the client hasn't tried to pay the Delavigne Corp the money they owe.
16 settlement: "Settlement" is the correct term here. In this context, a "settlement" is an "arrangement" or "satisfaction of a demand". Here, it refers to the payment of a sum of money.

This statement is true. Horatio claims that he taught Icarus "everything he knows" (about finance), then offers to help Brian with his financial difficulty.
This statement is true. Brian makes several references to his current financial trouble, and states that he is "up to his neck in debt". "To be in debt (to the bank)" is to "owe" money to the bank. For example: the bank lent me 5000 dollars to buy a car, and now I am in debt. Note that the "b" in "debt" is not pronounced.
This statement is true. Initially Brian asks Horatio if he has seen Icarus, who is supposed to give Brian "money advice". Later, Horatio offers to give Brian "money" or "financial" advice as well.
This statement is false. Brian never accepts or refuses Horatio's help. He is doubtful that Horatio is capable of helping him, however he never refuses his offer.

1 mortgage: "Mortgage" is a very particular term, with several connotations. A traditional "mortgage" is a deed or written agreement with the bank in which the buyer agrees to reimburse the bank for money advanced to pay for a property. This money is usually paid monthly, with interest. In this type of agreement, the bank is the de facto owner of the house, and the "mortgage" payments continue until the mortgage is paid in full. Properties which are sold before they are fully paid are sold with the mortgage; the new buyer inherits the mortgage.
2 debt: A "debt" is something (usually money) "owed", or "promised to" someone. We often talk about being "in debt" or "having debts". Example: My years as a professional gambler have left me in serious debt.
3 child support: "Child support" is the legal term used to describe money paid by one parent (usually the father) to another for the purpose of taking care of a child's basic needs (education, clothing etc.). The amount of child support paid is generally either determined by a court of law or mutually agreed upon by lawyers in a settlement. It is calculated as a function of the parent's income.
4 max out: To "max out" a credit card is an informal term describe charging the entire spending limit of a credit card or line of credit. For example, most American credit cards have a monthly credit limit of $5000. You can spend this amount every month, but not more. Remember that credit cards are not linked to real money in a personal account; money is lent by the lender regardless of if you have it or not.
