"slip it to her" is referring to passing the money over to the guard

on another listening 4rd line it's

"LOAN (not lend) us 50 will ya",

neutral  Yvonne Gallagher: yes, ALMOST correct. NO "Hey" and not "Then". But thanks for copying the rest!

  -> “Almost correct” was in ref. to the text provided by the asker. Slip/ed, loan/borrow, and ya/you weren’t exactly difficult for a native to discern upon first listen. Listened 2x more for whatever’s before “yeah” and included it in my med. confidence. ans.
