1 yells: The verb "to yell" means to shout, scream or cry out loudly. When someone "yells" they raise their voice, or increase the volume of their voice. In this dialogue, Donna tells Bruno that Horatio once "yelled" at her for an hour, and then brought her a cactus; presumably to apologize.
2 joker: A "joker" is someone who plays jokes or tricks often. The term is often synonymous with a comedian (though not a professional comedian) or a clown (though not a professional or circus clown). The "joker" is also a card in a deck of playing cards. There are 2 of them in a deck of 54, and when they are used, they are often "wild cards". In this dialogue, Bruno fondly calls Horatio "a joker", and then confesses that he loves the little guy.

shout: "Shout" is the term closest in meaning to "yell" in this context. To "shout" and to "yell" (at someone) both mean to raise one's voice when talking to someone, in an aggressive way. Example: "Children, please stop yelling at each other: I have a headache!".

call: "Call" is not the best choice here. To "call" someone is to telephone them. To "call out to somebody" is to attract their attention. This is not synonymous with "to yell". Another example: "I called the office this morning to tell them I was sick".
argue: "Argue" is not the best choice here. To "argue with someone" is to debate or discuss something with them, when you do not share the same opinion on a subject. This is not synonymous with "to yell". Another example: "Arguing with your spouse is a great way to spend the weekend".

The need to shout at someone suggests that all polite rules have been forgotten in the heat of anger, so this sentence is not appropriate.
This is correct. "Screaming" and "shouting" are synonymous in this context, both suggesting that someone is speaking very loudly, usually in an angry state. "Screaming" suggests an even more agitated state than "shouting". Example: "The boss was screaming with rage when he saw my expense account."
This is correct. "Shouting" and "yelling" are synonymous in this context. They both describe the act of talking very loudly and angrily. Example: "Stop yelling at each other, or I'll punish".
This is not correct. Horatio is very angry, and this sentence is too polite to replace his words in the dialogue.
