This statement is true. Philip wants Polly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Donna, probably only because he finds her attractive. Because he doesn't think this is a legitimate reason to schedule an appointment, he asks Polly to tell Dr. Donna about some "early childhood trauma", or to tell her that Philip wants to discuss his feelings.
This statement is false. Philip says that Dr. Donna is really "cute", meaning that she is attractive or pretty. He never refers to her being "smart" or "intelligent".
This statement is false. Philip suggests that Polly tell Dr. Donna about "some early childhood trauma", however this trauma never really occurred as Philip is trying to invent a reason for seeing Dr. Donna. Furthermore, Philip is likely referring to psychological trauma and not a physical injury.
This statement is false. Philip calls Dr. Donna "the new chick". Although a "chick" literally refers to a baby chicken, in this context it is a term used to refer to a woman. Note that the use of "chick" to refer to a woman is slang, and sometimes considered pejorative.
This statement is true. Philip says that he saw Dr. Donna in the lounge. A "lounge" is a type of waiting area where one can relax or rest. At a company, it is often a room with a coffee machine or snack machines. In an airport or train station, a lounge often includes a smoking area and lavatories.

lounge: The "lounge" is either a public waiting room or a synonym for a "living room" in a private house. Philip says to Hannah "what are you doing in the lounge?", she is sitting and reading a book there. The verb "to lounge" is to pass the time in a lazy or idle way. Example: We lounged in front of the TV all evening.

1 bathroom: "Bathroom" is the best term here. In British English, the "bathroom" is the room with washing facilities such as a bath, a shower, and a sink. In US English, "bathroom" is also a polite way of saying "toilet"!
2 lounge: "Lounge" is the correct answer: this is the room in a home or hotel, where we can sit and talk to people in a relaxed environment. Example: "We now have five televisions in the lounge, in order to avoid arguments between our guests who want to watch different programmes".
3 roof: "Roof" is the term we were looking for here. The "roof" is the external covering on a building, which protects the rooms inside from the sun, rain, etc. Example: "Our roof was damaged in a storm, and since then we've been getting wet in bed!".

There was an incident in the "rest room".
Another word for the rest room is the:
There was an incident in the "rest room".
Another word for the rest room is the:
This is correct. A "rest room" (US), despite its name, is another term for "the toilets" (UK), or "the bathroom" (US). Icarus was surprised that an attendant in the "rest room" tried to dry his hands with a silk towel.
A coatroom is either a room where coats and jackets can be left temporarily, or in some cases a small lounge. If it is required to pay a small fee to leave your jacket, we call this area the coat check. The incident which Icarus refers to in this dialogue did not take place in the "coatroom" but in the toilets.
Although it sounds like one could "rest" in the "rest room", the term actually refers to the "toilets" or "bathroom" and not to a lounge or waiting area. A waiting room is the area in which people sit before being called in for an appointment (for example) such as one finds at a doctor's office.
Although it sounds like one could "rest" in the "rest room", the term actually refers to the "toilets" or "bathroom" and not to a lounge or waiting area. A "lounge" is a space generally used for relaxing in a home, office or building.
