Negative phases to respond

Hi,
Can someone check this dialog please?

A: So, what did you buy yesterday?
B: Nothing. I couldn't go to the shop actually.

C: Oh, you join them. Did you understand Spanish then?
D: Not at all, but they also spoke English.

E: ... He didn't say such a thing.
F: Absolutely not. (or 'Totally not.')

G: I thought I offended you.
H: No way! You know I'm not upset so easily.

I: How was the horror film? Very scary?
J: Not that much. It didn't have as many jump scares as that one we had watched together.

Thank you!

I've tried to make them more natural: A: So, what did you buy yesterday? B: Nothing. I couldn't go shopping, actually.
