Minho : We should do that, the prices of raw materials have been going up. You don't want to go bankrupt.
S : You're blowing smoke. The prices of raw materials has not been increasing as much as you're trying to gouge.

S : You're letting me down. You didn't strike me as much of a naturally born business man.

Guy : Do I look that gullible?
Marian : Why are you asking that? I suppose someone's got you wrong.
G : Whenever I caught up a chance to get promoted, Robin took it away.
M : Don't get ahead of yourself. I don't assume he tricked and kept you from getting promoted. Robin can't be that mean.
G : You think I'm exaggerating. It's just that he tries to be on his best behavior when he is with you.
M : Anyway, now that he is a manager of our department, we should get ready to be entrusted with some parts of his work.
G : That has basically killed the mood, He could be a harsh on me. When on earth could I liberate myself from this company?
M : Stop it here, I'm not going to risk my job for this gossip. It doesn't feel right.

(NOTE: This line is grammatically correct, but a little hard to understand. When you say "be entrusted with some parts of his work", are you saying "take on some of his work duties"?)
G : That has basically killed the mood, he could be a harsh on with me. When on earth could can I liberate myself from this company?
M : Stop it here, I'm not going to risk my job for over this gossip. It doesn't feel right.
Good work :)

1. Why would you jack up the prices? - If this is supposed to be future tense, it is more natural to say, "Why are you trying to..." or "Why do you want to..." or "Why are you..." or "Why are you planning on..."
2. Gouging is increasing the price. So you can't say, "The prices have not gone up as much as the prices have gone up."
3. "Profiteer" is a very...insulting term, so you wouldn't say it about yourself.
4. "Sometimes" and "every chance we get" are opposites. And "at least every chance..." There is nothing more than "every chance" so you can't use "just".
I'll look at the other one later. If you have questions please let me know.

Where did you get these dialogues from? Is it from a show? It seems a little harder to correct due to language used by the characters.
