Woman: You can say that again

Does “You can say that again” mean yes?

Woman: Thanks, I like it,too. If only it had a heavy line in it before I can wear it in winter,too.

What does heavy line mean?

Man: What’s keeping Kevin? He said last night he’d meet us here by 2 o’clock and it’s already 2:30

Woman: It’s so typical of him, isn’t it? Just watch, he’s going to show up in 5 minutes with some wild excuse.

What does wild excuse mean?

这个很经典的，你就当作非常同意来记住好了。

Man: That’s really nice raincoat, Lisa

Woman: Thanks, I like it,too. If only it had a heavy line in it before I can wear it in winter,too.

What does heavy line mean?

估计line作为“边”解释，也就是雨衣的一条厚厚的边。

Man: What’s keeping Kevin? He said last night he’d meet us here by 2 o’clock and it’s already 2:30

Woman: It’s so typical of him, isn’t it? Just watch, he’s going to show up in 5 minutes with some wild excuse.

What does wild excuse mean?

excuse这里应该是“（用于辩解的）理由”之意。

From Passage

What does “It grows on ripe” mean

a heavy line 如果衣服有比较厚的衬里就可以冬天穿了。。
a wild excuse 胡编出来的异想天开的借口
第三个问题我觉得可能是打印错了。。it grows on rope的可能性比较大因为peppercorn是爬藤类的植物需要依附于其他的树木或者被固定在什么支撑物上才能长高。。
