1 buy some food: This is correct. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". A "snack" refers to a light or quick meal or food that is eaten between meals. Philip probably means that he will buy chocolate, candy ("sweets" in UK English), or potato chips ("crisps" in UK English).
1 pay for the gas: This is incorrect. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". This does not mean that he will pay for gas. "Gas" refers to fuel that is used for automobiles.
1 buy a road map: This is incorrect. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". This does not mean that he will buy a road map. A "road map" is used by motorists and describes a plan that shows road details and distances.
1 hold up the store with a banana: This is incorrect. Philip says that he is "going to go get some snacks". This does not mean he will hold up the store with a banana. "To hold up (a bank)" is to "rob" it or demand money by theft.
2 go to the toilet: This is correct. Philip says that he will "use the rest room". A "rest room" is a room in a public building that contains toilets (or lavatories) and washing facilities.
2 have a rest: This is incorrect. Philip says that he will "use the rest room". This does not mean that he wants to have a rest.
2 repair the car: This is incorrect. Philip says that he will "use the rest room". This does not mean that he wants to repair the vehicle.
2 walk like an Egyptian: This is incorrect. Only the Bangles can walk like an Egyptian in the correct manner.
3 put gas in the car: This is correct. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank". "To fill up (a car)" is to put fuel (gas or petrol) in it so that the fuel reservoir is full. A "tank" refers to the fuel reservoir of a vehicle that contains gas (or petrol).
3 check the oil level: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank". This does not mean that he wants Icarus to check the oil level. The "oil level" refers to the amount of lubricant remaining in the car engine.
3 clean the car interior: This is incorrect. Icarus asks an attendant to wash the "windshield", but Philip does not request Icarus to clean the interior of the car.
3 find a tank: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank". Philip is referring to the fuel reservoir of the vehicle, not an armoured car.
4 check the tire pressure: This is correct. Philip asks Icarus to "check the tires". This means that he wants Icarus to check the air pressure in the tires. A "tire" ("tyre" in UK English) refers to the ring of rubber that surrounds the wheels of a car. The "air pressure (in a tire)" generally refers to the amount of air in the tire, and more specifically to the exertion of force upon the surface of the tire.
4 check the lights: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "check the tires". This doesn't mean that Philip wants Icarus to check the lights of the car.
4 check the brakes: This is incorrect. Philip asks Icarus to "check the tires". This does not mean that Philip wants Icarus to check the brakes of the car. The "brakes" of a car refer to the mechanisms that reduce the speed of a vehicle.
4 check the state of his pants: This is incorrect. Icarus' pants are in perfect condition, but his little "Icky" is functioning badly.

1 fill up: To "fill up" a car (with gas or petrol) is to put fuel into a car until it is full. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank", meaning he wants Icarus to put gas in the vehicle. Note, to be "full up" is have a full stomach; to eat a maximum amount of food.
2 pump: A "gas pump" is a machine that transfers fuel to a vehicle. It is normal to "fill up" the "tank" of vehicle using a "pump". To "pump up (a tire)" is to inflate it with air.
3 unleaded: "Unleaded gas" is a type of gasoline without lead that is used to fuel vehicles in order to reduce pollution. In the audio, Icarus asks for "premium unleaded gasoline" which usually costs more and gives a better motor vehicle engine performance.
4 tank: A "(gas, petrol, fuel) tank" is a metal reservoir or container that holds the fuel for a vehicle. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank". Note, a "tank" can also refer to an armored military vehicle.
5 hood: The "hood" (US) ("bonnet", UK) of a vehicle is the metal cover (or lid) of the part of the car that holds the engine. To access the car motor, you usually have to "lift up", "open" or "pop" the hood. The hood is situated at the front of a vehicle, and the "trunk" (US) ("boot" UK) is situated at the back of a vehicle.
6 oil: "(Machine) oil" is a petroleum derivative that is used to lubricate a machine such as a motor or engine. The "oil level" refers to the amount of lubricant remaining in the car engine.
7 tires: A "tire" (US) or "tyre" (UK) is a rubber band around a wheel, for example around the 4 wheels of a car or the 2 wheels of a bike. Tires are made of rubber. If one is deflated then we say that it is "flat".
8 windshield: The "windshield" (US) or "windscreen" (UK) is a protective piece of glass or plastic which protects the car's driver and passengers from objects and the elements. In the audio, Icarus asks for the windshield to be washed because it has a lot of dead insects on it.
9 trunk: The "trunk" (US) or "boot" (UK) of a car refers to the storage space generally located in the back of a car.It is very useful for storage and criminal purposes.
