This means that Kevin is stuck on the street.
is stuck on the street: To be "stranded" somewhere is to be "stuck" there, or to not have the capability to move. A person can be stranded because they have no money, the car has no gas or they don't have the keys to their car. Kevin is telling Icarus that he is "stuck" (immobile) because he has lost his car, his money and his credit card.
lost his money : The verb "to strand" or "to be stranded" is unrelated to the loss of money. Kevin is actually stuck or stranded because he has no more money, however the verb itself doesn't express this meaning.
can't find the street: The verb "to strand" or "to be stranded" is unrelated to finding or locating something.
has been robbed: The verb "to strand" or "to be stranded" is unrelated to being "robbed", or having one's money stolen.

There is no indication that Philip won't let Trey play mouth basketball. When Trey tells Philip to stand aside, he wants him to physically move so that he can aid Icarus. Trey says "stand aside" to Philip so that he can assist Icarus.
To "make fun" of someone is to "tease" or "mock" them in a playful manner. Philip is not "teasing" or "mocking" Icarus. Philip does say that Icarus is "turning kind of blue", however this is an observation of Icarus's face as he is choking on the chocolate, and not an indication that he "is making fun of Icarus".
Trey tells Philip that he is going to give Icarus the Heimlich Maneuver. The Heimlich Maneuver is an emergency procedure for removing an object stuck in the throat of a choking person (someone who cannot breathe). This is only done to "help" a person who is choking to breathe normally again. Trey's intention is to "help" Icarus.
Trey tells Philip that Icarus is "choking". To "choke" on something means that the throat is blocked, and the normal passage of air is obstructed. Philip has thrown a chocolate into Icarus's mouth, and it has become stuck in Icarus's throat, causing him to choke. This is why Icarus is having trouble breathing. Choking is a dangerous situation in which a person could die if normal air-flow is not restored quickly.
Icarus is choking, but he is not being "strangled". To strangle someone is to physically stop someone's breathing with the intention of harming or even killing them. Someone can choke without being strangled. Here Icarus is choking on a chocolate thrown into his mouth by Philip, however no one has physically attacked Icarus.

1 stuck: To be "stuck" somewhere is to be lodged or blocked there with no possibility of movement. An elevator which is "stuck" has stopped moving between floors. Note that the term can be used figuratively as well: I have no idea how to answer this problem: I'm stuck. Note that "jammed" cannot be used here.
2 jam: A "paper jam" describes a situation where paper is stuck or lodged in a printer). "Jam" is used here in the same sense as a "blockage" or "bottle neck". Note that as a noun, "a jam" can also refer to fruit preserves or marmalade (strawberry or raspberry jam for example) which is often eaten on toast. Jean mistakenly suggests that there is "jam" (in the sense of marmalade) in Icarus' printer. Icarus then corrects him, saying that the printer is "jammed".

This is an incorrect statement. Edward offers to explain the meaning of the music. He never offers to write words that could accompany the music.
This is a correct statement. Edward thinks that Bruno's "musical dream" is a a "financial forecast... all we need to do is interpret the music, and we will know everything about Delavigne's financial future". A "forecast" is a prediction of the future, usually based on data and analysis rather than superstition. Example: Elkie Johns decided to cancel the concert because the weather FORECAST predicted heavy rain.
This is an incorrect statement. Bruno did not compose the music, it came to him when he was sleeping. Bruno "woke up" in the morning and the music was "stuck in his head". If something is "stuck (somewhere)" it is caught, blocked, trapped or rendered immobile. Example: We were STUCK in the elevator for 3 hours! Therefore, if music is "stuck in your head", the music is trapped in your head - you can't help "hearing" the music in your head! Think ABBA.
