B.If we go for the matinee, we might have enough time for the tacos afterward. A. I think we can manage it! But we have to be quick. We shouldn't dawdle. B. Agreed! We need to have a plan. A. Right! So, let's do this: I will check the escape room reviews and the movie times. In this sentence what is "be quick" Urgency(to hurry ) or become faster?

It means they need to do everything quickly to fit it all in. So it means they need to hurry, not 'drag their feet' (it is not a comparative; it doesn't mean 'faster', just 'fast').

It means "We have no time to sqander". It also means the same as the sentence that follows: "We should not dawdle." He says the same thing twice.
