Please explain the text in Bold.

A:You do what you need to do. You keep me informed.
B: I'll punch you in.

A: We all very very much regret Emma's death.
It must be especially painful for you. In the circumstances.

B: You mean that she was shot instead of me.

A: As a parent I can only guess at your pain, I think. Though I'm sure I cannot imagine its full dimensions

A: You got no buzz of this guy? Nothing? (The guy was dead)
B: This guy was a professional.This guy was a hit man.

I'll punch you in.
I cannot imagine its full dimensions
got no buzz of this guy

A:You do what you need to do. You keep me informed.
B: I'll punch you in. Sorry this one is new to me, it probably means something like "I'll fill you in".

A: We all very very much regret Emma's death.
It must be especially painful for you. In the circumstances.

B: You mean that she was shot instead of me.

A: As a parent I can only guess at your pain, I think. Though I'm sure I cannot imagine its full dimensions This means, I cannot imagine in all respects what this pain must be like for you; I am unable to imagine an essential part of this pain because I did not have the kind of relationship with her that you had.

A: You got no buzz of this guy? Nothing? (The guy was dead) It should probably be "off". A buzz is a stimulating sensation: you got no stimulating sensation from this guy.
B: This guy was a professional.This guy was a hit man.
