"Say, officer! You seem upset. But why do you want to see my license and registration 1? Don't you have any of your own? You know it's a crime to drive without them, right? If you get pulled over 2, you could be in real trouble! I hope it won't sound like I'm bragging 3, but I've had quite a bit of alcohol 4 tonight, so I'd better keep my license in my pocket. I might need it if I get stopped by the police!"

1 registration: "Registration" is the correct choice here. Any time a police officer pulls over a motorist ("driver" in the US), he or she will usually ask to see the motorist's driver's license and vehicle registration papers. A driver's license is proof of the legal right to drive, and registration is the proof of ownership of a vehicle.
2 pulled over: "Pulled over" is the correct choice here. To "get pulled over" is to be stopped by a police officer while driving. To "pull (a car) over" is to direct it to the side of the road. Example: I finally pulled my car over to the curb after the police had been chasing me for 30 minutes.
3 bragging: "Bragging" is the correct choice here. To "brag" is to "boast" or to talk in an arrogant manner. Example: He's always bragging about the size of his feet, I'm very jealous of him. Warbuckle says "I don't mean to brag, but I'm kind of important", meaning that he doesn't wish to be arrogant, but he is important (and rich).
4 alcohol: "Alcohol" is the correct choice here. And there is no doubt that Warbuckle has been drinking a lot of it.
