This statement is true. Philip calls Brian to ask him questions at first about Delavigne's return policy (the company's rules for exchanging and refunding its products), however he eventually tells Brian that he must "dispose" or "get rid" of some evidence, namely a bottle of perfume we can assume was used in the crime detailed in the previous article. To "dispose of (an item)" is to get rid of it, or throw it away.

1 survey: A "survey" is a questionnaire that collects people's opinions, often about things like political views or their attitude to new products. Example: After buying a new vacuum cleaner, I was asked to complete a customer satisfaction SURVEY. In the conversation, Susie talks about a survey that was used to explore men and women's attitudes to TigerLily: "according to the survey, Wayne thinks that wearing TigerLily makes him look tough".
2 trend: A "trend" is a "tendency", "inclination", or "fashion". This term can be used to describe both serious movements ("This graph shows the trends in political values over the past year") and less serious fads ("The latest trend is orange cardigans"). In the conversation, Susie says that she has "noticed a surprising trend: TigerLily isn't being bought by Rebecca" (it is being bought by "Wayne").
3 advertising: The term "advertising" describes the act of promoting a product, usually through the media, with the aim of increasing sales. We often shorten this to "ad". Example: Our sales have doubled since we started ADVERTISING on prime-time television. In the conversation, Bruno asks Susie if (considering the surprising survey results) Delavigne has "spent millions of dollars in advertising aimed at the wrong people".
4 aimed: "To aim" is to point or direct (a gun, weapon or anything) in order to hit a target. Advertising is usually directed or aimed at a group of people in order to generate a maximum of sales. This is what Bruno means when he talks about "advertising aimed at the wrong people"; Delavigne has spent millions of dollars on adverts directed at women, when in fact, it is men who are buying the product.
5 bought: "To buy" is to obtain something by paying money for it. It is an irregular verb (buy, bought, bought). In the conversation, Susie uses the passive voice: "TigerLily isn't BEING BOUGHT by Rebecca". The passive voice, constructed by placing the past participle of a verb after "be", focuses more on the action, while the active voice focuses more on the person who did the action. Compare the following: (ACTIVE) Jack Kerouac WROTE "On the Road" in 1951. (PASSIVE) "On the Road" was written in 1951 (by Jack Kerouac).
6 disposable income: "Disposable income" is the money available to spend (after essential costs such as rent have been paid). Example: Young professionals have a large DISPOSABLE INCOME. In the conversation, the socioeconomic group named "Rebecca" is described as being a woman between 30 and 45 with a large disposable income and a weakness for luxury products.
