1 weak: "Weak" is the opposite of strong, and describes an absence of energy, strength, power, or ability. In the dialogue, Horatio says "You can't even smell them with your weak little nose!" He is insulting Bruno's nose and smelling ability, which we all know tragically disappeared after an auto accident.
2 stinking: In this context, "stinking" means bad-smelling or having a disgusting odor. In the dialogue, Bruno refers to a "stinking swamp" in the Amazon region, meaning a swamp which smells very bad or has a bad odor.
3 rotting: "Rotting", from the verb "to rot", describes a state of decay and decomposition. In this dialogue, Bruno says "If it weren't for me, you'd be rotting away in some stinking swamp in the Amazon!" The phrasal verb "to rot away" means "to decay over time". Bruno states that if he hadn't "saved" Horatio, Horatio would still be stuck in the swamps of the Amazon.
