This statement is true. Mick tells Bruno that he's "got to get going" if he wants to "catch high tide". The verb "to catch" is being used in the sense of "arriving" in this sentence. We can use "catch" in many ways in English, in both formal and informal contexts. This use of "to catch" in Mick's phrase is similar to the expression "to catch a flight". He means that he wants to be at Mavericks (and surf) during or at high tide. "To get going" means to start moving or leave to go somewhere.
This statement is true. Bruno tells Mick that he will "get in touch with Kevin Connors right away". To "get in touch" means "to contact". Bruno will contact Kevin on behalf of Mick, in order to resolve Mick's shipping problem.
This is not true. Bruno tells Mick that his problems are "troubling", and that he will ask Kevin Connors to assist Mick right away, so we can assume that Bruno is concerned about the situation.
This statement is true. Mick tells Bruno that cargo is "often missing". If something is "missing" it is "absent" or "not present". Mick also tells Bruno that the crates which are on the ships are "usually damaged", which expresses that the merchandise is "broken" or "damaged".

1 sue: To "sue" someone is to engage in a legal suit against someone. This usually involves going to a court of law where the dispute is settled or resolved by a judge. In the dialogue, Icarus says "I'm confident that if we sue the supermarket for causing your accident, the compensation could be millions!"
2 damages: In the dialogue Icarus says to his mother "I was ready to sue the supermarket for damages", this means that he was prepared to take the supermarket to court, so that he (and his mother) could receive compensation money. Note that when it refers to compensation, "damages" is always spelled in the plural.

1 injury: Another word for "wound" is "injury". Both terms refer to damage to the body (physical and sometimes even mental). For example: I suffered an injury when the dentist drilled a hole in my cheek. In the text about Anosmia, we read that the condition can be caused by severe head "injuries".
2 condition: A "condition" is defined as a "state of health." The word "condition" has many different meanings, but in this context, a condition is a "health problem", "sickness" or even a disease (though these terms aren't totally synonymous). Example: She has a skin condition, and she gets big red buttons when she eats meat.

1 return: In this context, the verb "to return" is synonymous with "to exchange" or "to take back". Products are generally "returned" for other items (of the same value), "store credit" (a voucher or coupon good towards another item or items) or a "refund" (repayment of the money originally spent on the item).
2 receipt: A "receipt" describes an acknowledgment of purchase or payment, often in the form of a piece of paper. For example: Many people keep their receipts for major purchases: televisions, cars, etc. In this conversation, Brian asks Philip if he has his receipt, or proof of purchase, for a bottle of Delavigne cologne.
3 defective: A "defective" product is broken or dysfunctional, however the term is used mostly to describe a problem due to a manufacturing default. In other words, a defective product is not the fault of the consumer, but rather the manufacturer. Example: Toyota is recalling 1000 cars due to a defective steering wheel.
4 credit: A "(store) credit" refers to a coupon, voucher or a payment, an amount of money, a sum (towards a purchase). Store credit is often given to customers instead of a full cash refund, which obliges them to spend their money in the store. In this conversation, Brian tells Philip that maybe a "clerk" at the store will give him "store credit" for his bottle of perfume.
5 refund: A "refund" is money credited to someone for the return of a product or service which has been purchased. Note that it is actual cash (or a reimbursement via transfer), rather than a credit. "A full cash refund" is reimbursement in the form of cash.
