This statement is false. Bruno tells Warbuckle that he has to stop "throwing his money around", or spending his money "frivolously", to which Warbuckle replies "I see. Maybe I can make a few changes". He agrees that he needs to change his spending habits, which indicates that he is "willing" (ready or prepared to) change his spending habits lifestyle.
This is a true statement. Bruno tells Warbuckle "you've got to stop throwing your money around so carelessly!". To "throw one's money around" means to spend it unwisely, as if it will never run out. To be "cautious" means to take care or be prudent. Bruno is telling Warbuckle to be more "careful" or "cautious" with his money.
This statement is false. Warbuckle does mention a planetarium, however it is because Bruno asks if there is anywhere they can "talk without being bothered". Warbuckle suggests that they go to the planetarium. Warbuckle is not planning to build a planetarium, he already has one! A planetarium is a room or building that houses a three dimensional map of the stars and planets.
This is a true statement. Warbuckle says, "It's true. I can't stop spending my cash!". Warbuckle is admitting to Bruno that he simply can't stop spending his "cash" or "money".

This is a true statement. Warbuckle tells Bruno, 'It could be that the economic downturn in this country is finally having an effect on Warbuckle's Department Stores'. An 'economic downturn' refers to a decline in economic activity, a reduction in economic growth. Warbuckle believes that this may be responsible for his current financial situation.
This is a false statement. Warbuckle says that maybe 'the market for Warbuckle's goods has dried up'. This doesn't mean that the demand for his products is unchanged, but that the demand is reduced. 'To dry up' is used figuratively to indicate that the market (and the demand for Warbuckle's products) is not as profitable or lucrative as it once was. Ex: When the tech boom of the 90's dried up, many people lost money. The verb 'to dry' literally refers to something becoming less wet.
This is a true statement. Bruno tells Warbuckle 'you've got to stop throwing your money around so carelessly!'. To 'throw one's money around' means to spend it unwisely, as if it will never run out. To be 'cautious' means to take care or be prudent. Bruno is telling Warbuckle to be more 'careful' or 'cautious' with his money.
This is a true statement. Warbuckle says that the reason for his current financial situation could be the result of 'some bad investments overseas'. He is referring to some international investments he has made which may be bad. The term 'overseas' refers to countries located 'abroad' or far away from one's own country. 'Overseas' is synonymous with 'international' in this context, and 'poor' means 'bad' here.
