    Ken is what people call Heineken in Vietnam. I just realized this when I came back to visit Vietnam last month. So I think this probably means "Can I have some Heineken? I'll die soon if this keeps on going"

    it's mean "here, here! some bottle is how many bottle (do you want?)"
    and
    "come here, I'll give you half a pint (or a keg, I think)"
