This basically means:
"Luck? You think it's luck? It's skill."

Even though most of the words have been removed, very experienced English listeners are able to understand the meaning from her tone and the video's context.

@Natitan Thank you very much:) I understand it thanks to you!
Do you mind if I ask some questions about the video.

from 10:45, I'm not sure what she means.

A: No, but if you think of the song, I'll be upstairs.
B: "Touch Me in the Morning," Diana Ross.
A: I'll touch you in the afternoon if you think of the name of the song.

Could you tell me what she means?

It means

A: "No, but if you think of the song, come upstairs and tell me."
B: "Is it 'Touch Me in the Morning" by Diana Ross?"
A: "It's not. But if you can think of the song, I'll touch you in the afternoon"

Here, "touch you" is a sexual innuendo. And we can also assume that it is the afternoon. So the last sentence means:

"It's not. But if you can think of the song, we can have sex (or something like that)."

@Natitan Thank you very much! You are so kind:)
I'm so sorry but let me ask the last question.

From 9:00, I am not sure what the man means.
Could you tell me what he means?

A: Very groovy and far out, man.
B: And it wasn't even on half the time.

@tenkasu1173

Both "Groovy" & "Far out, man" are slang associated with youth culture in the 1960s. They both mean "awesome" or "cool". That makes sense because the man is looking at objects from his youth.

"And it wasn't even on half the time" is talking about the strobe light. It's a joke because strobe lights are bright flashing lights used at parties, so having one on 50% of the time is really crazy!

@Natitan Thank you:) I'm sorry but I don't understand the last sentence. Could you rephrase the sentence, "having one on 50% of the time is really crazy!"?

@tenkasu1173 Having a bright flashing party light on in your room for half the time implies that you're partying a lot!

@Natitan I can understand it! Thank you very much. And I'm so sorry but let me ask one more question.

From 11:00, "steaming the windows" imply sex?

I remember the song that we heard when we were in the back of my Corvair and steaming the windows.

@tenkasu1173 Yes, it does. That's another sexual innuendo.
