1 turn up: To "turn up" the volume is to increase the volume. In the dialogue, Philip says, "if someone isn't hearing my argument, I just TURN UP the volume until I get a sale". This means if Philip has problems selling products to clients, he simply speaks louder! Logically enough, "turn down" means to decrease the volume. Example: I can't sleep with that loud music - please could you TURN the volume DOWN!
2 pitched: A "pitch" is a frequency (of sound). Therefore, if something is "high-pitched", it produces high frequency sounds. Example: After the rock concert I had high-pitched ringing in my ears. In the dialogue, Edward suggests he is "high-pitched" like a flute because he has a high voice.
3 background: The term "background" is often used to describe the back part of a painting, the area that appears to be far away. Example: This Rembrandt painting has mountains in the background. If someone "stays in the background", they maintain a low profile and prefer to be unnoticed. This is what Edward means when he says that he is "often in the background".
