Well, that's because he doesn't (effing) want us

Or something along these lines; "на фиг" is a euphemism for a more vulgar expletive. I don't remember the exact context there, but the film is great albeit quite hard-hitting

On account of, that he doesn't give a fig about us

In EN, 'give a fig' is a standard expression in normal speech. I've never known it to be a euphemism or vulgarity.
