1 safe: "Safe" means secure or protected. "Safe and sound" is a common idiom that means "free from danger" or unharmed. Example: I called my mother to let her know that I had arrived home SAFE AND SOUND. In the conversation, Brian says that Shaun's "arm is safe and sound", to confirm that his artificial arm has been found and will be looked after until Shaun collects it.
2 sound: Of course, "sound" is usually used a synonym of "noise". However, "sound" can also mean "to be free from injury" or healthy (the patient is of SOUND body and mind); financially strong or secure (this is a SOUND investment); or competent or valid (I always trust his advice - he has very SOUND judgment).
3 shake: "To shake hands" is to take someone's hand and move it up and down with your own - it is a strange ritual, but very popular when greeting people! The verb "to shake" means to agitate or move something up and down quickly (for example when making a cocktail). "To shake hands" can be used as a noun, as used in the conversation when Brian says Bruno "has a very firm HAND SHAKE".
