Faut que j'te parle
➔ Il faut que + subjunctive

Elle a infiltré mon répondeur
➔ Passé Composé with auxiliary "avoir"
➔ This sentence is in the passé composé, a common past tense in French. It's formed with the auxiliary verb "avoir" and the past participle of the main verb. Here, "a infiltré" is the passé composé of "infiltrer".
-
Elle devient zarre-bi
➔ "Devenir + adjective" to express a change of state
➔ The verb "devenir" (to become) followed by an adjective describes a change in state. "Zarre-bi" is slang for "bizarre". So, "Elle devient zarre-bi" means "She's becoming weird/strange."

➔ Informal question formation with ellipsis and slang.
➔ This is a very informal way to ask "What am I doing with her?". "Qu'est-ce que je fais" is shortened to "Qu'est-ce que j'fous". "Fous" is a slang verb with a meaning similar to "faire" (to do) but it's used in a more crude or exasperated way.
