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.
