When asked if he can meet Sam right now, Bruno replies that he is "booked solid for the rest of the day". To be "booked solid" is to be very busy, or to have many scheduled appointments.
When asked if he wants to meet Sam right away to eat something, Bruno declines, saying that he is busy all day, then adding "It's also 9 o'clock in the morning". Sam confirms this by saying, "True, true".
Bruno is actually calling to schedule an appointment with Sam, not to cancel a previous one.
Sam asks Bruno to meet him right away, saying that he is starting to "feel a bit peckish". "Peckish" is a primarily British term which means "hungry", although in another context it can mean irritated or angry.
This is incorrect. Sam wants to meet Bruno right away, and not on Thursday as Bruno proposes. This indicates that Sam is available not just on Thursday afternoon. It is Bruno who is busy until Thursday afternoon. Sam eventually accepts Bruno's offer to meet him on Thursday.

Luna begins by apologizing for "keeping Trey waiting". She then says that "there was a horrible traffic jam on highway 101 this morning" which is her explanation for why she was late. A traffic jam occurs when there are many cars on the road or an accident has occurred, and the flow of traffic is poor.
Luna has doubts about Trey's ability to continue the interview because of his wound, however she never cancels the interview with him. Her last sentence is "Let's go sit down in my office" indicates that the interview will continue.
Trey says to Luna that he "was a few minutes late" to the interview. He responds to Luna's apology by telling her that he was also late this morning.
Trey never speaks of trying to take a shortcut. He does say that he traveled through a "rather rough neighborhood" on his way to the interview, but this does not mean that he tried to take a shortcut, but that he went through a "dangerous" neighborhood.
Trey speaks of the bullet passing "through the fleshy part of my arm" which expresses that Trey was "shot" (by someone with a gun). Trey also states that his lateness is due to this accident, so we know that he was shot while on his way to the interview.

Kevin encourages Jean to cancel his flight reservation to Kalackistan when he says "just cancel it".
Kevin never mentions anything about reporting Vlad to the authorities, he simply encourages Jean to cancel his plans to go to Kalackistan, and to end his relationship with Vlad.
Jean does say that he was going "to fax some" letterhead to Vladimir, however this is not a "formal cancellation" of anything. Vladimir asked Jean to send him some Delavigne letterhead. Letterhead is stationery used by a company for official purposes. Jean and Vladimir do not have any kind of "formal contract" between them.
Kevin tells Jean "to stop all communication with (Vladimir) immediately". To "break off all contact" means to end or stop all communication.

Bruno says, "Susie, you'll have to postpone your plans for the anti-exploitation ad campaign". The term "postpone" means to "put off to a later time" or to "delay". If Susie has to postpone something, that means that she had to delay it, but not cancel it, which means to "abandon" or "nullify" it.
This statement is true. Bruno admits that the negative exposure which Susie warns against is a concern to him. He says, "if we're risking the type of negative exposure and financial risk... we will go in a different direction", meaning that he is ready to change labor practices because of his concern.
At the beginning of the dialogue, Bruno states "I'll visit our facilities in Asia myself, if I have to." He is volunteering to travel to Asia and visit Delavigne's facilities personally, if that is what is required.
Bruno tells Philip and Susie that he isn't interested in the OILS charter, and that going into business with a third party doesn't interest him either. He also says that he is confident that the company can manage without becoming certified.
