Brent never compliments Candy on her appearance. Candy asks "how she looks", however Brent reminds her that "...this is radio. I can't see you".
Candy mentions that one of the clouds in the sky "looks kind of like a bunny rabbit". She is comparing the shape of the cloud to a "bunny rabbit" or "rabbit", which is a small furry animal that hops and eats carrots. A "cloud" is a body of water particles seen in the sky, usually white in color.
Candy never says that she is going surfing. She talks about having a date with a professional surfer this weekend, but she herself is not going surfing.
Candy says that "if you're in Hawaii" then the weather will have "highs (temperatures) in the mid 80's with no clouds in sight", which indicates that the temperatures will be in the middle 80's (85 degrees Fahrenheit = 29 degrees Celsius), without any clouds in the sky. Candy is predicting that for the people in Hawaii the weather will be pleasant.

This is a true statement. Captain Dare says that there are "rain clouds" near to the plane, and that he doesn't "want to be flying in inclement weather". This means that the weather is probably going to be bad, and he is worried about flying in wet weather or storms. "Inclement weather" is stormy or severe weather, and this expression is often used by pilots.
This is incorrect. In response to Captain Dare's request to land the plane, the control tower says "Permission granted". To "grant (permission)" is to allow it or permit it. "To descend" is to go down from a higher place, to reduce altitude.
This is a true statement. By radio, the control tower alerts Captain Dare and Jean to the danger by saying "we picked something up on the radar, it is coming straight for you". To "come straight for (someone)" is to travel directly towards someone. The control tower can see an object on their radar which is possibly going to hit the plane.

In the phrase, "a native Indonesian dance performed in the aisles by Indonesian stewardesses", what is the meaning of "aisles"?
In the phrase, "a native Indonesian dance performed in the aisles by Indonesian stewardesses", what is the meaning of "aisles"?
An "aisle" is a "corridor". We often talk about the aisles on planes and trains, and in theaters. At an airport check-in, you may be asked if you want an "aisle" seat or a "window" seat.
"Clouds" is not a synonym for aisle. Clouds are the white fluffy things in the sky that contain rain water and that like to stay over Great Britain.
"Nude" is not a synonym for aisle, although it would be nice to see stewardesses dancing in the nude on some flights.
"Wings" is not a synonym for aisle. Birds and airplanes have wings, but stewardesses would never usually dance on them.
