Angela's poem from "The Substitute":

Rickie[reading]: Once upon a time there lived a girl. She slept in a lovely little cottage made of ginger bread and candy. She was always asleep. One morning she woke up, and the candy had mold on it. Her father blew her a kiss and the house fell down. She realized
she was lost. She found herself walking down a crowded street.
But the people were made of paper. Like paper dolls. She blew
everyone a kiss good bye and watched as they blew away.

well, since it seems kind of hard to get, some advice on the last one:

- it's not a "word", but some "association" (for something that ain't to be said but still heard)
- there's a bed involved
- it's been "invented" in the same state our protagonists live in

hope that helps...

I have no thoughts for "throwing copper." I'll keep thinking about it. In the meantime here is a new word: Bisque

Throwing copper

This one has had me stumped for months! I tried to come up with all sorts of things; for a while I thought I was on to something when I translated "throwing copper" into "pitching pennies". I kept trying to find a scene in which kids were playing that game in the background but I was unsuccessful.

Speaking of playing in the background, I saw "The Weekend" recently and heard an old Live song in the background. I thought to myself, "I remember this song. . .what album was it on?" Then I realized it was on the Throwing Copper album! This must be the connection, but since there's already a prompt of "bisque" out there I don't want to introduce a new one. Still, I'd love to know if I really figured it out or if I've just been done in by my own cleverness.

Throwing Copper is the name of the album on which "I Alone" appears. The band's name is Live.

@Brunkster:
although it's been a longer while ago...

you're right on the Live-CD (just like Tomspeed already wrote). The association is:

#18 (the weekend) - scene with the bunch of them sitting in the bedroom, trying to figure out how to solve the on the hand-cuffs - the music playing on the radio/tape is "Alone" by Live.
So you've figured it out - 100% .
