Çok sağol ya!
Nell is not satisfied with the Tony's confirming him in a wise-guy manner. Though I'm not sure about, I think it's a sarcastic way of saying "Thanks" (actually it's the very opposite of "Thanks" in Turkish).
"Çok sağol ya! Haklı olduğum şey neymiş (peki/bakalım)?"
"Çok sağol ya! Haklı olduğum şey neymiş (peki/bakalım)?"

Bana bir kırıntı atıyorsun herhalde
"Bana bir kırıntı atıyorsun herhalde, Nell? Neymiş o haklı olduğum şey?" şeklinde çevrilebilir sanırım. Ancak bu şekilde kasıt Türkçeye de kayma olmadan geçer.

Bana bir ipucu ver.
"Throw me a bone" ile aynı anlamdadır ve pek çok farklı durumda kullanılmakla beraber buradaki anlamı, "Bana bir ipucu ver neymiş bakalım." şeklinde kullanılmıştır.

Reference:
crumbs from a rich man's table
You will hear people in the U.S. say:
"Hey, throw me a bone here!"
This is said when someone is feeling slighted or has gone unrecognized for some achievement.
The derivation is from throwing a bone to a dog, as in "even a dog would get a bone" from someone.
