⦿ I SURE HOPE — I have to say - I hope...
⦿ I MEAN here doesn't mean я имею в виду. It's a particle expressing that the speaker is about to express his opinion.
⦿ GOD FORBID…SHOULD - is a sarcastic way of referring to something someone refuses to do but you feel is necessary or important. I believe we translated this as нет бы before.
