1 stockbroker: "Stockbroker" is the right answer. A "stockbroker" is a professional agent for people who want to buy or sell stocks and shares on the financial market. In the dialogue, Bill tells us that he is a "stockbroker". Another example: "My husband left me for his stockbroker. They're very happy together, and rich".
2 return: "Return" is the best choice here. To "make a return (on an investment)" is to make a profit as a result of an action. Example: "I was right to buy shares in Pear Computers: I've made a 22% return on my money".
3 once-in-a-lifetime: The term "once-in-a-lifetime" is used to describe something special that is not likely to happen to you again. Example: Harold Warbuckle is planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the North Pole to hunt polar bears. In the conversation, Bill says that buying shares in the small company is a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity".
