1) Oh, poor Charlie. He is smitten by the girl. And now he can't think of anything but her.
2) -Olie, if you're going to the mall, you might as well take Amy with you. -What's a baby supposed to do with malls? -Oh, I don't care. I just want you to babysit.
3) Hustle; hustle. Run! Run as if your life depends on it. Faster! That all you got? A baby girl would've done better than you! So help me God, you're disappointing me!
4) -Have you heard of the 'Yo-yo Effect'? -I heard of it, but I don't know it. What does it say?
5) Seriously, I'm at my wits' end with this boy. How could he be such an insubordinate!
1) Oh, poor Charlie.
He is smitten bywith the girl.
The collocation is "smitten with (someone)".
And now he can't think of anything but her.
2) -Olie, if you're going to the mall, you might as well take Amy with you.
-What's a baby supposed to do withat a malls?
"Malls" is okay, but I think "a mall" sounds more natural here.
-Oh, I don't care.
I just want you to babysit.
3) [Hustle; hustle.]?
I'm not too sure what you're trying to convey here with this. It doesn't seem to make sense as a spoken line.
Run!
Run as if your life depends on it.
Faster!
That's all you got?
"That all you got" might be acceptable in very informal contexts.
So help me God, you're disappointing me!
4) -Have you heard of the 'Yo-yo Effect'?
-I've heard of it, but I don't know itwhat it is.
What does it say?
5) Seriously, I'm at my wits' end with this boy.
How could he be such ano insubordinate!
"Insubordinate" is an adjective, not a noun.

Thank you. By 'hustle' I mean 'hurry up'.

I see. We do not use "hustle" this way. Some alternatives are "hurry, hurry", "hurry up, hurry up", "faster, faster", and "move it, move it". Also note that we generally do not use the semicolon (";") here; the comma will do.
