The idiom Sam uses, "I suppose I have put on a few pounds" is a common one (in both British and American English) which means "I suppose I have gained weight", or gotten heavier. Sam uses the expression "We've all got to eat", meaning that everybody needs to earn money to put food on the table. Bruno then makes a play on words by saying "it looks like you're eating quite well", which is both a reference to Sam's corpulence as well as his wealth. Finally Sam admits that he has "put on a few pounds".
