Explanation:
"Да парень вообще (разг. вооще)не поставит на (за) тебя и ломаного гроша, это и козе/ (чертовски), чёрт побери, понятно".
Явно остросюжетный фильм - здесь разговаривает персонаж с низким общеобразовательным цензом. Подождите объяснений от кого-нибудь из "наших в Америке" - они разъяснят слэнг и малограмотнгые выражения.
Удачи!

"On tebe dazhe [kaplyu/mizer/samuyu malost',etc.] ne otstegnyot."


Explanation:
A nickel-bag is a bag of drugs (soft or hard, e.g. marihuana or heroin) weighing 1/4 ounce, or 7 grams, regadless of price. It is usually the smallest denomination that street drugs are sold in; the small size or relative insignificance being, perhaps, the point here emphasized.
