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.
