Thank you, Alex and rockzmom!

Another two short excerpts:

1.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWOjk0dyZuU

- What? Still mad? Is it about the nun?
- Yeah.
- You know, babe, I love you, I do, I .........??....... gotta go, okay? The situation was universe, ........??.......... I think I'd be giving you a lot more ......??....... now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ_fd_r_Gsg

- Hi. Good morning. Is this the home of John Gissing? I've checked ....??... every 121 High Street in London...
- There's nobody here by that name.

- You know, babe, I love you, I do, I would drink your bath water, but you've gotta let it go, okay? If the situations were reversed and some fake rabbi tryed to cornhole you I think I'd be giving you a lot more slack right now. (I'm not 100% sure if it's situations or situation)

- Hi. Good morning. Is this the home of John Gissing? I've checked pretty much every 121 High Street in London...
- There's nobody here by that name.

to cut smb some slack — быть менее строгим к кому-либо; давать кому-либо поблажку Lingvo

Спасибо.
А как перевести вот это предложение (не понимаю его):

I would drink your bath water, but you've gotta let it go, okay?

I hear a "what" in there... and situations...

Ты же ведь знаешь, что я люблю тебя. Ради тебя я готов на многое, но ты должна забыть о том, что случилось. Хорошо?
Ну, а если дословно, то - Я готов пить воду из ванны, в которой ты мылась, но ты должна позволить этому (it - тому, что случилось) уйти (из памяти).
Что-то вроде этого.

Я готов целовать песок, по которому ты ходила... Помните, как в русской народной?

Точно. Как выражение любви, это не очень-то популярно, слава Богу.

Next episode please:

I hear:

- You know what's a word we don't use a lot, and it's a shame because it's a good word? Buggered.
- Really? You don't use that word?
- Never caught on with the Americans. Too bad, 'cause it's a good word, a good multipurpose word. You guys use it to describe sex, right?
- One particular variation, yes.
- And for getting screwed over? Like in this case here it would be correct for me to say, "John, you really buggered me."
- That might be (a?) proper usage.
- John, you buggered ..........??.........
- .............??......... we do.
- ...........??......... replace use???
- This is a memo I wasn't supposed to see. It deals with you coming here and taking over from me.

-...John, you've really buggered me.
-Yeah, that might be proper usage.
-John, you('ve) buggered the hell out of me?
-Well I think just plain buggered would do.
-They bring me over here to replace you, is that it?

The rest looks good to me!

Thank you, Lynn!

I hear just a slight difference, no "cause" and a second "it's" in this sentence...

Yes, I agree with you, I hear the same. There are several sentences which I just copied from imdb, but some of them really contain inaccuracies and even mistakes.

I need help with the next one please:

My attempt:

- I've been given full control on the acquisition again, Matthew. You've been (that's what I hear, but I'd see more logic in it if it were "you'll be") transferred to another office. I've been here ([for??] Is it really correct without "for"?) fifteen years. Company's been bought, resold, refinanced, renamed, reinvented... I am one of the damned few constants.

It is common to omit the "for" in phrases such as this. Same goes for things like "I've been doing this", "I've been going there" and others. The "for" is just implied by the context I guess.

It is "resold" there. Maybe in the youtube quality one can't hear it well... But it is. I hear it. He pronounce it very unclear, but he does.

I need help with another excerpt please:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV-Rb6hcA5A

- Everyday you dress the same, you walk to work the same way, you sit at the same desk. .....??...... your life (and your? into?) whatever is the job, (ha ha?) What do you think? Too much? I've had two wives, Barnes, three children, each with a corner of their hearts that I'm not allowed to visit.
- So who is the nun?
- She's not a nun, she's a stripper. She is a good girl, good heart; just too young. ......??...... some desperation....??...... On both our parts.
