1. This first sequel would be Speed 2 (or Speed II). The second sequel would be Speed 3 (or Speed III).
2. Break dancing is a style of dancing where one person does a lot of spinning on their back or head (among other moves). It is difficult to tell without more context but person B may be be making a sarcastic pun by saying "break" in that they expect that something would be broken if they were to accept the invitation to dance.
3. three all = 3 - 3 / love all = 0 - 0 (game score used in tennis, but not the set or match score) / five nil = 5 - 0
4. laptop computer and notebook computer are the same. please note that netbooks, sub-notebooks, etc. are different types of laptops or notebook computers. palmtop computer and PDA are the same.
5. I'm not sure what a BP pager is, I haven't used a pager in many, many years. Now it's typically emergency personnel who carry them. I would guess that the first number is the system number to call, and the second is that user's specific extension?

BP is a kind of bleeper,it was used in 90s.162928 is the number of manual desk,the first number is B's bleeper number.There are servant ladies to convey someone's message to B.So A should call to manual desk,and send his message to B with the help of servant lady.
