Okay, so in the first speech bubble she says that the Donkey admitted (in a long, roundabout way) to putting (presumably used) chewing gum in her bra, before calling her a "scunner," which Google tells me means "a strong or extreme dislike," so I guess it's basically like saying "that bastard/asshole/motherfucker/etc." The second speech bubble is actually pretty easy, since it doesn't use slang (except for numpty), but just phonetically spells out the strong Scottish accent: "I cannot get my head around her doing such a daft thing, the pure [/absolute] idiot." The third one is a little harder, but still manageable. I haven't been able to Google or figure out what "raging" means, but other than that: "It's pure ragin'! [I presume something like BS, idiocy, foolishness, etc.] Shoving [a wad of] dirty/smelling/disgusting gum in my clothes, the absolute moron." "My head's pure buzzin'..." seems to be "I really want to" or "The thought/idea's stuck in my head," or something similar. "...to hit/slap a right good one*, the fucking slut." * "Yin" is another one I can't quite figure out, but clearly the gist of it is "I so wanna slap that bitch-ass hoe upside the head hard enough she [something witty; idk, looks like a Loony Toon? (think Daffy after he's been shot by Elmer Fudd)]." And then lastly, of course, and the one that spells DANGER for Patrick, is her saying "Are you listening to what I'm saying, or are you just making a little game of it?" or, put another way, "Are you actually listening to me, or are you just acting a fool and nodding along?" Of course, one can hardly blame Patrick for not keeping up; people's accents typically become most pronounced when they're angry/stressed/excited, which usually _also_ means that they're talking quite quickly, which makes it very difficult to understand them if you're not very familiar with the accent and terminology/dialect.
