These are dialogues in the movie.
1-man#1:"Did you get discharged? Do you have people coming to look for you?"
man#2:" Honorably dicharged"
Man #2 was in the military. After he is discharged, "you have people coming to look for you"=looking for a job? I thought it doesn't make sense since man#2 answered "honorably discharged"...What is "honarably" mean in this situation?
"finished histour of duty"?
2-man#1"So, he is here, what happens? When you punk out on your home boys"
There is 3 boys and gangs. Man#1 is the leader of street gangs. Other two(man#2 and #3) are confront each other. #1 hands a knife to one of them(man#2) and says this.
"punk out on"=betray?
I get this as ""So, he(man#3) is here, what happens? When you(man#2? #3?) punk out on your home boys(gangs?)"
=" if you betrayed us, you should know what will happen"?
Am I right?

#2 You are exactly correct.
#1 Correct again. Though "honorably" discharged sounds like something extra special, it is just the routine expression for the status of someone who has completed his tour of duty.
"Do you have people coming to look for you?" is hard to answer not knowing the context. It could just mean "Are you expecting family members to come meet you" or if it's an action/adventure movie, maybe it referred to someone who's in greater danger out of the military than when he was in, because some bad guys are "coming to look for" him.
Good luck with your English lessons. I know it's hard work.

I believe you are correct with the second conversation. In the first one, "honorably discharged" is a military term. If you are "honorably discharged," you have been released by the military and have completed your obligations. another alternative is to be "dishonorably discharged," which means the military has released you of your obligations, but you did not complete them. Another alternative is to be AWOL (absent without leave), which means you left the military but have not been "discharged" or released. In this case, the military would issue a warrant for your arrest, and people would be looking for you.
