1 fasten: This is correct. The verb 'to fasten', meaning to 'secure' or 'attach' is the most common term associated with 'seat belts'. The 't' in 'fasten' is not pronounced, and the term is pronounced 'fass-in'.
1 put: 'Put your seat belt' is grammatically incorrect. In order to make this sentence grammatically correct, we would use the preposition 'on': Put your seat belt ON.
1 attach: Although you may hear someone say 'attach your seat belt' once in a while, there is a good chance that the speaker is a non-native! Strictly speaking, 'attaching a seat belt' describes connecting or securing it to a surface or object, such as a car seat. 'Fastening' a seat belt describes the act of securing it around the waist or body (often) by connecting one metallic end to another.
1 tie: The verb 'to tie' isn't used to describe connecting the two ends of a seat belt. Things that are tied: ribbons, shoe laces, knots, bows, ties, etc.
2 move the car out of the way of traffic: This is correct. 'To pull (a car) over' is to drive it out of the way of traffic, either to the side of a road or to the 'curb' of a street (where the sidewalk meets the street). When Kevin tells Jean to 'pull over', he wants him to move the car out of traffic's way, and then stop his car. Note that motorists are often 'pulled over by the police', meaning that they are directed to the side of the road where they are questioned, ticketed, arrested and sometimes brutally beaten.
2 get out of the car right away: This is incorrect. 'Pulling a car over' is unrelated to 'getting out' or 'exiting' a car.
2 stop the car immediately: This is incorrect. The expression 'to pull a car over' doesn't mean to 'stop the car' immediately (or make an emergency stop) with a sudden brake. Although eventually a car which has been pulled over will stop, the car will move out of the way of traffic first.
2 turn around: This is incorrect. The expression 'to pull a car over' doesn't mean to 'turn around'.
3 We'll evade the cops in the hills!: This is correct. When Jean suggests 'losing the police' in the hills, he is suggesting that he will avoid or evade the police by maneuvering in the hills of San Francisco. 'To lose' is used here to express an active sense of escaping from sight or attention. Example: I lost him in the crowd. There were hundreds of people who looked just like him. 'Cops' is a common, slang term for 'police'.
3 We're lost in the hills!: This is incorrect. Jean's comment doesn't express that he himself is lost, but rather that he plans to escape the police by driving into the hills.
3 We've lost sight of the hills!: This is incorrect. Jean's comment doesn't express that he has lost sight of, or cannot see the hills, but rather that he plans to escape the police by driving into the hills.
3 The cops are lost in the hills!: This is incorrect. Jean's comment doesn't express that the police are lost, but rather that Jean plans to escape the police by driving into the hills.

"To pull ( a car) over" is to:
This is incorrect. To "pull over" does not share the same meaning as to "get out of the car".
This is incorrect. To "brake" is to reduce a vehicle's speed or stop (a car). Cars have "brakes", accessible by depressing a pedal, as well an "emergency break" (or "hand break") located adjacent to the driver's seat.
This is correct. "To pull (a car) over" is to drive it out of the way of traffic, either to the side of a road or to the "curb" of a street (where the sidewalk meets the street). Example: "Here's the address, can you pull over to the side of the road?" Philip wants to leave the road at the next gas station.
This is incorrect. To "make u-turn" is a go in the opposite or reverse direction. Example: We discovered we were driving the wrong way so we made a u-turn at the next intersection.

"Say, officer! You seem upset. But why do you want to see my license and registration 1? Don't you have any of your own? You know it's a crime to drive without them, right? If you get pulled over 2, you could be in real trouble! I hope it won't sound like I'm bragging 3, but I've had quite a bit of alcohol 4 tonight, so I'd better keep my license in my pocket. I might need it if I get stopped by the police!"

1 registration: "Registration" is the correct choice here. Any time a police officer pulls over a motorist ("driver" in the US), he or she will usually ask to see the motorist's driver's license and vehicle registration papers. A driver's license is proof of the legal right to drive, and registration is the proof of ownership of a vehicle.
2 pulled over: "Pulled over" is the correct choice here. To "get pulled over" is to be stopped by a police officer while driving. To "pull (a car) over" is to direct it to the side of the road. Example: I finally pulled my car over to the curb after the police had been chasing me for 30 minutes.
3 bragging: "Bragging" is the correct choice here. To "brag" is to "boast" or to talk in an arrogant manner. Example: He's always bragging about the size of his feet, I'm very jealous of him. Warbuckle says "I don't mean to brag, but I'm kind of important", meaning that he doesn't wish to be arrogant, but he is important (and rich).
4 alcohol: "Alcohol" is the correct choice here. And there is no doubt that Warbuckle has been drinking a lot of it.
