"hit and run" accident is when the driver of the car that hits another car or person immediately drives away in hopes that they will not be held responsible. You slept with Jeff?! :: Yeah, but it didn’t count. It was the summer we decided to be free of all rules. In this case, to "sleep with" a person is to have sex with them. If something "doesn’t count," it is not important, or cannot be considered as either an accomplishment, or a violation of any rule. You act above us, you always have. You just held it over us, like you might leave. "To act above" others is to look down on them, or act in a snobby way. "To hold something over" other people is to use the threat of a possible action (in this case, the possibility that Russell may leave the group), in order to intimidate them or get what you want.

See, friendship is the booze that they feed you. "Booze" is a colloquial word for liquor or alcohol. We are uncool.

This is Lester’s philosophical way of telling William that life is hard for guys who are not good looking and cool. Good looking people, they got no spine. Their art never lasts. A person’s "spine" is their backbone, though here Lester is using it to mean courage or bravery. Great art is about guilt and longing and love disguised as sex and sex disguised as love.
