1.
Tungsten devastators with the spinning hammer
head flights. Sweet.
Does anyone know what is a “spinning hammer
head flights”?
2.
You do that beautifully.
f- Like to think think it's Creole Tudor by way of Lake
Charles, Louisiana.
He flatters the way she throws a dart. Is that some kind of a style? A style from Louisiana?
3.
Classic Tudor with a high finish.
Nothing but cork, two triples and a bull.
Again, he talks about the way she throws a dart. What is a “high finish”
And the next sentence – isn’t cork and a bull the same??
What is “two triples”?
4.
M- Na. Might have taken a run at Bob Barker, though.
Down at the commissary been known a tab to help.
M- If the price was right
They are talking about Vana White. They suggest she was fooling around with Bob barker “if the price was right”…
But I can’t understand “the commissary been known a tab to help”???
5.
You had the walk.
Then some Tuesday you woke up a rollover
pussy, just taking shit from everybody-- your wife,
people at work.
Two good friends talk. Is he actually saying “things were going well for you, and then the tables have turned”?
Or is he saying “you walked in an impressive way, and one day you woke up like a worm/ mollusk?
6. They are 182 shafts.
Shaft - The portion of the dart that holds the flight
Does anyone know what 182 stand for?
7. and what does "The line is down to" mean here: It's a phone call
M- Sports action.
M- Yeah, 5412 princess Leia. Go 5412..
M- I want Marshal for 5 dimes.
M- The line is down to 10.
M- I don't care if it's down to 7, Marshal plus the points
is a gift. You want play on this call?
M- Yeah.
Thanks

On the last one, it's a gambling thing. M- Sports action.
M- Yeah, 5412 princess Leia. Go 5412.. (bettor no 5412 has given his or her password. M- I want Marshal for 5 dimes. (and wants to bet $50 on Marshal University, probably in a basketball game.) M- The line is down to 10. (The bookie warns the gambler that the point spread is down to ten points. This means that if the other team does not beat Marshal by more than 10 points the gambler will win the bet. At exactly 10 points it's a push, with no winner. If the other team wins by more than 10 points the bettor loses the bet.)
M- I don't care if it's down to 7, Marshal plus the points
is a gift. You want play on this call? (The gambler says he wants the bet even if the spread is only seven points, and querulously asks whether the bookie wants the action. There's an implication here that he will take his business elsewhere if there is not instant agreement.)
M- Yeah.

1.Tungsten devastators with the spinning hammer head flights. Sweet. Does anyone know what is a “spinning hammer head flights”?
There are three parts to a "pro" dart; The Flight, the Shaft, The Tip... no four parts: The Flight, the Shaft, The Tip and The Body of the dart which gives the weight, size, grip and overall feel and balance. Hammerhead is trademark/brand and having the end of the shaft that holds the flight allow the flight to spin freely (some feel) help "true" the flight of the dart through the air, yet some feel that the feel that loss of resistance makes the release of the dart more difficult to control... nobody expects the atmospheric inquisition.
2.You do that beautifully. f- Like to think think it's Creole Tudor by way of Lake Charles, Louisiana. He flatters the way she throws a dart. Is that some kind of a style? A style from Louisiana?
I got nothin'.
3.Classic Tudor with a high finish. Nothing but cork, two triples and a bull. Again, he talks about the way she throws a dart. What is a “high finish”
I don't know about the Tudor bit, but the score one gets (in the dart game cricket) from two triples and a Bull would most likely be over one hundred points and to end the game with that throw would be quite impressive. A "high finish" sounds perfectly descriptive.
And the next sentence – isn’t cork and a bull the same??
I can imagine that cork could mean any throw that "scores points" and, of cours, bull is a specific point.
What is “two triples”?
The outside band of different color offers a score double the nominal amount of that piece of the pie. The middle (inside) ring offers a score triple that amount. The center rings are the bull and the bull's eye (double the bull score of 25)
6.They are 182 shafts. Shaft - The portion of the dart that holds the flight. Does anyone know what 182 stand for?
My guess: length of shaft in mm.

At a guess "nothing but cork" means every dart struck the board which is actually made of cork not board. Thus every dart scored points.

It's pretty close. I'm translating this movie and the dialogues are very unclear.

ori: google: darts spinning hammer heads. These are apparently very expensive pro-level darts. http://snipurl.com/1330vIf you do some googling you can find some of the rest of these terms; use dart or darts as part of your google. 182 is apparently a special score in one of the myriad games of darts that are played competitively.
