    *thinks of extremely obscure ways to refer to various famous creative media works*

    Stars - pink
    Lightning - yellow

    One of the most memorably horrifying things is when a "slice" of the "rotting pizza" was dropped...killing everyone who lived above and beneath it.

    Several couples act as foils for the two main characters.  Among them are:
    * the older H&T, who would be a natural choice to be parental figures but totally don't act the part...until they start having to accept it
    * M&H, who act more like older siblings
    * G&M, who are sorta slightly older siblings whose relationship doesn't have too much significance
    * R&C, who very much would like to be parents but can't
    * D&A, who are the closest thing to a direct foil to the main couple.

    If only she knew she could make the world do what she wants, she wouldn't be so [synonym for sad].

    The first is found in a local noble's home, guarded with a knife.
    The second is found by someone who turns off buttons.
    The third is found by someone who wants to become explosively famous.
    The fourth is found on a hill.
    The fifth is found in the water...but you must give it back or else someone will be tickled.
    The sixth is snatched from you by a Five Man Band.
    The seventh...well, Santa has it.

    1.4 pants-dropper; 1.8 gumdrop

    3.4 stomach, 3.8 spores
    4.4 halving fun, 4.8 jumping turtle
    5.4 hairy slime, 5.8 rotating the skies!
    6.4 can't touch this, 6.8 3D trajectory puzzle in 2D
    This is much better than the new one.

    the second one she met, exuding confidence in G and Ab major, cut short

    I mean, there was a song title, and I think a bit of in game dialogue
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Everybody's got the right to be happy,
    Don't be mad, life's not as bad as it seems,
    If you keep your goal in sight, you can climb to any height,
    Everybody's got the right to their dreams.
    Everybody's got the right to be different.
    If you wanna be different.
    Even though at times they go to extremes.
    Anybody can prevail, everybody's free to fail,
    No one can be put in jail for their dreams.
    Free country!
    Means that you've got the choice,
    Be a scholar! Make a dollar!
    Free country!
    Means that you get a voice,
    Scream and holler! Grab 'em by the collar!
    Free country!
    Means you get to connect!
    That's it! Means the right to expect that you'll have an effect.
    That you're gonna connect! Connect! Connect! Connect!
    Everybody's got the right to some sunshine!
    Not the sun, but maybe one of its beams.
    One of its beams!

    Everybody gets a bite, everybody's got the right to their dreams.
    Everybody's got the right....to their dreams.......(gunshots!)

    Good on you for recognizing the track title.

    Perhaps I made it too obvious by using quotation marks.

    I actually have the book, and (as per usual)  it goes into a lot more detail about certain characters and situations than the movie did. I gues they were really struggling to keep it to 1:30.
