This sentence is incorrect. The verbs "to haul" and "to hail" should not be confused. To hail (a cab) means to call for a taxi, often in the street.
This sentence is incorrect. Although the verb "to haul" is often synonymous with the verb "to pull", you can only "pull a muscle" after an abnormal strain, and "haul" is not used here. The best way of expressing that one has hurt a muscle would be "I pulled a muscle" or "I strained a muscle".
"Haul" is used correctly in this sentence. Here, it is used as a noun, within the expression "a long haul" which describes a great distance to be traveled. "A long haul" is an expression meaning that one point is far away from another.
"Haul" is used correctly in this sentence, in a similar way to the way Bruno uses it in the conversation. The primary meaning of the verb "to haul" is similar to the verb "to pull", however "to haul" has a stronger sense and means to pull with effort. This verb is often used to describe activities that require extreme physical force (hauling bricks, hauling freight, hauling cargo). Note that people can haul objects, but trains and cars can as well. The expression Bruno uses, "to haul Horatio's ass (back to the jungle)" is a colorful (and vulgar) expression which indicates that Bruno could easily have immigration come and remove Horatio by force, and send him back to the Amazon. The expression evokes an image of someone coming and physically taking Horatio back to the jungle.
