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.
