Edward Scissorhands
Snuggle in, sweetie.
It's cold out there.
Why is it snowing, Grandma?
Where does it come from?
Oh, that's a long story, sweetheart.
I want to hear.
Oh, not tonight.
Go to sleep.
I'm not sleepy.
Tell me, please.
Well, all right.
Let's see.
I guess it would have to start with scissors.
Scissors?
Well, there are all kinds of scissors, and once there was even a man who had scissors for hands.
A man?
Yes.
Hands, scissors?
No, scissor hands.
You know the mansion on top of the mountain?
It's haunted.
Well... a long time ago, an inventor lived in that mansion.
He made many things, I suppose.
He also created a man.
He gave him insides, a heart, a brain, everything.
Well, almost everything.
You see, the inventor was very old.
He died before he got to finish the man he invented, so the man was left by himself... incomplete and all alone.
He didn't have a name?
Of course he had a name.
His name was Edward.
Avon calling.
Weren't you just here?
No, not since last season.
I've come to show you our exquisite new line of softer colors in shadows, blushes, and lipstick.
Everything you need to accent and highlight your changing look.
My changing look.
That's good.
Well, it goes without saying I have a complete selection of your old favorites... those tried-and-true products we've all come to depend on.
Peg, I never buy anything from you.
You know that.
I know.
Bye, Helen.
You didn't have to call me, ma'am.
You could have taken care of this yourself.
I could?
I don't think so.
Yeah.
It's easy.
Your food trap's clogged.
That's all.
See this bulb here?
You just unscrew this.
Mm-hmm.
And out she pops.
On TV they say repairmen are lonely.
Housewives get lonely, too.
You may not realize it.
They haven't made a commercial on the subject.
Put this back in here nice and easy.
Be careful not to force it because it fits in there by itself.
Oh, now who could that be?
Will you excuse me for a moment?
Now, don't go anywhere.
I'll be right back.
This is fascinating.
I wouldn't want to miss a moment of it.
Good morning, Joyce.
Avon calling.
Why, Peg, have you gone blind?
Can't you see there's a vehicle in my driveway?
Oh... yes.
I'm surprised you don't realize that means I'm busy.
Now we should decide on lipsticks.
What one did you like best?
There was the Winsome Wahini, which looked charming on you, or the Bahimini Bliss.
I like them both.
Well, great.
You don't actually think I have any money, do you?
Ding dong, the Avon lady It's just not my day.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, it's so beautiful.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Avon calling.
Oh, my.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello.
I'm Peg Boggs.
I'm your local Avon representative.
Hello?
I'm sorry to barge in like this, but you don't have any reason to be afraid.
Ooh!
This is some huge house, isn't it?
Thank goodness for those aerobics... classes.
Hello?
Hello?
Why are you hiding back there?
You don't have to hide from me.
I'm Peg Boggs.
I'm your local Avon representative, and I'm as harmless as cherry p...
Oh, my.
I can see I've disturbed you.
How stupid of me.
I'll be going now.
Don't go.
Oh, my.
What happened to you?
I'm not finished.
Oh!
Put those down.
Don't come any closer.
Just...
Please...
Those are your hands?
Those are your hands.
What happened to you?
Where are your parents?
Um... your mother?
Your father?
He didn't wake up.
Are you alone?
Do you live up here all by yourself?
What happened to your face?
Hmm.
No, I won't hurt you.
But at the very least, let me give you a good astringent, and this will help to prevent infection.
What's your name?
Edward.
Edward.
I think you should just come home with me.
Ohh!
I'm...
I'm sorry.
No, don't be.
You go ahead and look.
You have every reason to be excited.
Oh!
Are you OK?
Are you OK?
Hello.
Hi.
Yeah, it's Marge.
I was standing outside, talking to Carol, and Peg drove by.
She had somebody in the car.
You get a good look?
No.
Did she say anything to you about having a guest?
She didn't say anything.
She rang my doorbell early this morning.
No.
O.K.
I'll meet you on the corner.
Right.
Bye.
Oh, damn.
Here we go, dear.
This is our house.
You can just go right in and make yourself at home, OK?
And have something to eat or drink or whatever you...
Here, dear.
This is the front door here.
Here we go.
Right in here.
Joyce, I just saw this strange guy driving with Peg.
He looked kind of pale.
I'll be right there.
Don't do anything without me.
Bye.
Yes, be right there!
Here we are.
So... and this is the living room, and back here are the bedrooms.
You want to see the pictures.
All right.
Well, this is my husband Bill.
He's a bowling champion.
Do you know what bowling is?
Bowling?
No.
Well, here they are at the lake fishing.
I think Kevin looks a little glum because they didn't catch anything that day, and, um, here's my daughter Kim, all dressed for the junior prom.
She's a senior now, if you can believe it.
She's camping in the mountains with some friends, but she'll be back in a few days.
You can meet her then.
Isn't she beautiful?
That's my family.
Now, come along, dear.
I'll show you the rest of the house, then you can freshen up and make yourself at home.
The kitchen's over there.
Help yourself to anything you want to eat or drink.
Those are grapes.
Back here are the bedrooms.
Let me get you some towels.
I'll see what we can find for you to wear.
I think I have some of Bill's old clothes in here.
This is perfect.
Here.
These should just fit you.
Oh!
No, no, don't be alarmed.
That's just the phone.
Go in Kim's room and put these on.
I'll be right with you.
No.
No, he has scissors.
No, scissors.
That's right.
Well, he was born up there or something.
Have you seen him before?
No.
I don't think he's been off the grounds before today.
You're kidding.
How did you get together with him?
I have to go.
I'll talk to you later, Marge.
Bye-bye.
I'm sorry, Edward.
I didn't...
Oh, dear.
May I help you with this?
Thank you.
There you go.
Oh, dear, you've cut your face.
Let me get this right off.
Does that hurt?
No.
No.
Good.
O.K.
Now let's get you dressed.
O.K.
There we go.
Very fine.
You look fine, just fine.
Come on.
We can't wait for you.
You've got rollers in your damn hair.
O.K.
Now... what did I do with my sci...
Edward, um, would you...
Thank you.
I have a doctor friend who I think could help you.
Really?
Yes.
Now, I can help with the scars.
But I just want to consult the big Avon handbook before doing anything.
Kevin.
Kevin.
It's not polite to stare, dear.
Kevin, think how it would make you feel if somebody were staring at you.
I wouldn't care.
I would, so don't do it!
This must be quite a change for you, right, Ed?
Edward.
I think he prefers Edward.
Yeah.
Sure.
So, what have you been doing up there in that big old place?
I bet the view must be spectacular, huh, Ed?
Edward.
Yes?
Um.
No, um, I was just...
See all the way to the ocean, huh?
Sometimes.
Bill, could I have the salt and pepper, please?
Bill, dear, could I have the salt and pepper, please?
Thank you.
Kevin.
Kevin.
Man, those things are cool.
You know, I bet they're razor-sharp.
One karate chop to a guy's neck...
Kevin.
Edward... would you like some butter for your bread?
Great.
Thank you.
Can I bring him to show and tell on Monday?
Kevin, I've had enough.
You think you can sleep?
Things feel strange now, but soon you'll feel right at home.
Good night.
Good night.
The light concealing cream goes on first.
Then you blend and blend and blend.
Blending is the secret.
More concealing cream?
Your complexion is so fair...
This has a touch of lavender in it.
Give it a try here.
Close enough.
Okay, this should do the trick, here.
Hmm.
I have another idea.
We'll cover up the scars, and start with a smooth surface.
Darn this stuff!
Hartley into the windup and the strike one pitch.
Swung on and missed.
Strike two.
If it's a hit, then the club has 12 hits.
But they still have 11 on the scoreboard.
And it's three to one.
0 and two the count to Warren.
Now they change it to 12 hits.
Turn it up, Kevin.
I can't hear it.
Kevin?
Hartley strikes, the pitch is...
- hammered!
- Did you hear that?
No.
Make it louder!
Way back...
It's gone!
It's out of here.
It's history.
Dad... look.
A grand slam for Martinez to make it a five-run inning and blow this game to pieces.
I'll be darned.
They filled the whole tape.
What's going on over there, Peg?
Call me.
Hi.
It's Marge.
Who is he?
Call me.
I hear it's pouring rain in the mountains.
Think the kids are OK?
Hey, there, darlin'.
The gals are in a tizzy about your secret visitor.
You can't keep him a secret forever.
Well, it's just wonderful, Ed.
You have the whole family in there, don't you?
Edward, come here.
No, no, no, that's a terrible idea, son.
Go to the garage and get the oilcan.
We don't want him rusting up on us.
Edward, you did us?
Oh, Bill, it's us.
Yes, it is.
Oh, Edward!
It's not heaven he's from.
It's straight from the stinking flames of hell.
The power of Satan is in him.
I feel it.
Have you poor sheep strayed so far from the path?
We're not sheep.
Don't come near me.
That's right.
Go on.
Get out of here.
Run.
Edward, don't listen to her.
Don't worry about her, Edward.
She's just an old loony.
- Hi!
- Hi!
- Hi!
You all are hiding in there like hermit crabs.
Hi, Joyce.
Shame on you, keeping your unusual guest all to yourself.
We think that's mighty selfish of you.
Things have been hectic around here.
That's sweet of you to want to correct the situation.
When does the barbecue begin?
Barbecue?
You intend to introduce your guest to your friends, right?
I'll bring coleslaw.
I'll bring dessert.
And I will bring the ambrosia salad.
What time was it that you said?
What time?
Bill!
About 5:00?
Bill!
He has been sent first to tempt you, but it's not too late.
You must push him from you.
Expel him.
Trample down the perversion of nature.
Oh, did you hear that?
He's a perversion of nature.
Why, isn't that exciting?
Ha ha ha ha.
See you later.
Bye-bye.
Thanks so much.
Bill!
Bill!
You really can't have a picnic or a barbecue without deviled eggs.
They're just the best.
They make a thing.
Oh, dear, Edward!
That's wonderful!
I didn't know you chopped the whole thing, but we'll have a really big...
All right.
It's just a nick.
There's no need to be nervous.
You know Esmeralda won't be here.
The rest of the neighbors, they're really very nice.
There's no need to be nervous.
They're so eager to meet you.
You just have to be yourself.
Myself?
That's right.
Just your own sweet self.
Thanks, Edward.
Hey.
Play scissor-paper-stones with us.
Play scissors what?
I got a doctor friend.
Might be able to help you.
Hey, George Mi...
Whoa!
That's a heck of a handshake you got there, Ed.
Harry!
I saw you on the golf course last week!
You got a dozen of the melons...
Are you OK?
Do you want something to eat?
Are you hungry?
Do you want a cr*cker?
He's so different.
Completely different.
No kidding.
He's so...
Mysterious.
Yeah.
Do you imagine those hands are hot or cold?
Just think what a single snip could do.
Or undo.
Eddie.
Eddie.
Oh.
Oh.
The guys and I were talking.
We'd like to invite you to our card game.
Would you like that?
Only thing is, you can't cut.
I have my own infirmity.
Never did me a bit of harm.
Took some shrapnel during the w*r.
Ever since then, I can't feel a thing, not a damn thing.
Don't let anybody tell you you have a handicap.
Who's handicapped?
My goodness.
Don't be ridiculous.
You're not handicapped.
You're...
What do they call that?
Exceptional.
My name's Joyce.
I noticed that you have not tasted any of the ambrosia salad I made especially for you.
Allow me.
Mmm.
You must try this.
It's my mother's recipe.
Let him chew, for heaven sakes.
With your green thumb, I could use your help.
Me, too.
There you go.
I want a row of angels.
He's promised to come to my house first.
One more.
Haven't you, Eddie?
I did?
O.K., everybody, grab your plates.
Soup's on.
I thought this was shish kebab.
What?
I thought this was shish kebab.
It was a figure of speech.
Don't take things so literally.
"Let us pretend we're in the drawing room, and the hostess is serving tea." "Now, many numerous little questions confront us.
Should the man rise when he accepts his cup of tea?
May lump sugar be taken with the things?" Hmm...
no.
"Is it good form to accept a second cup?
Now, should the napkin be entirely unfolded or should the center crease be allowed to remain?
It is so easy to commit embarrassing blunders, but etiquette tells us just what is expected of us and guards us from all humiliation and discomfort." Mmm.
Yes.
Boring.
Let us switch to, um... to some poetry, hmm?
"There was an old man from the cape who made himself garments of crepe.
When asked, Will they tear?
He replied, Here and there, but they keep such a beautiful shape.
" That's right.
Go ahead, smile.
It's funny.
That's right.
O.K., guys.
We're home.
Shh.
I can't believe everything's still sopping.
I can't wait to shower and wash off the mildew.
My parents set the alarm.
I'll sleep in the yard... again.
I told you to call to say we're coming back early.
Did you?
He'd rather complain.
How else can I be the center of attention?
You didn't call your parents.
They don't run their house like a police state.
Bye, guys.
See you later.
Bye.
Don't forget your arm.
Oh, yeah.
Come on, Jim.
Let's go.
Aah!
There's somebody in my room!
Go look!
Look!
He's a m*rder*r.
He has an ax.
He tried to k*ll me!
Everything's O.K.
It's all right.
Go back to bed.
Oh, my God!
All right.
All right.
Who is he?
That's Edward.
What are you talking about?
There is nothing to be upset about.
No.
Oh, no.
No, no, it's O.K.
We'll have you set up here in a minute.
We got a full queen-size bed here.
It's all made and everything.
There you go.
What's the matter?
What's wrong?
She get you nervous?
You've been cloistered away in that castle too long.
You don't know anything about the wonderful world of teenaged girls.
They're all crazy.
Here, this will straighten you out.
What is it?
Lemonade.
I don't know what it is.
They reach a certain age.
They develop these gland things.
Their bodies swell up.
They go crazy.
Glands?
Yeah, glands.
I try not to think about it.
Good, isn't it?
You stay in Kevin's room tonight.
Tomorrow we'll fix your room right up.
Why did you bring him here?
I couldn't leave him there.
You would've done the same thing.
Why does he have to stay here?
I'm surprised at you.
He can't help the way he is.
Have a little sympathy.
I do have sympathy.
Then let's just say a little greeting.
Come downstairs, shake his hand...
Shake his hand?
Not literally.
You scared him half to death.
I scared him to death?
Hi, Bill.
I just wanted you two to have a proper introduction.
Edward, this is our daughter Kim.
Kim, this is Edward, who's going to live with us.
Hi.
Ooh!
Eddie!
Thirsty?
Hush up!
Shh.
Quiet, now.
I can hardly hear myself think.
Mama's precious little baby girl.
Would you like a nice cool glass of lemonade?
Lemonade?
One chop to a guy's neck, and it's all over.
They're the sharpest things in the world.
They can hack through anything, and...
I think they look weird.
They give me the creeps.
You should see the clown in Miss Peters' yard.
Kim!
Oh, no.
That's him?
He's calling you, Kimba.
Stop it.
Edward!
You forgot your cookies.
Don't worry, Eddie.
She's waiting for you.
Edward said he had lunch at Jackies today.
She just had her kitchen completely redone.
I'll be darned.
New paint, cabinets, floors.
New microwave.
New silent dishwasher.
Isn't that wonderful?
Jim, didn't you tell me your mom had her kitchen done?
My dad bought himself a bunch of new toys.
Big-screen TV, CD players, VCR with four heads.
My goodness sake.
I wonder what it's like to be that rich.
They keep things pretty much locked up.
My father has his own room for his stuff.
He won't even help me buy an old car.
He wants you to pay for it yourself.
Builds character.
You'll appreciate it more.
Speaking of money, I understand you're not charging for your gardening, Edward.
Now, Bill, Marge made him cookies today.
Sweetheart...
you can't buy the necessities of life with cookies.
You can't buy a car with cookies, am I right, Jim?
That's true, sir.
You can't.
I can't eat that.
He used his hands.
I don't think it's sanitary.
I'm sorry.
Honey, you want me to help you clean that up?
No, that's O.K.
I'll be right back.
Alexis?
Oh, this can't possibly be my Alexis.
She looks so beautiful.
Look at you.
She's gorgeous.
Thank you.
It won't be long.
She just has to decide on the style, and then it will be fine.
She just has to decide what style she wants.
I was hoping for something big and bouffant, you know, kind of like mine.
Don't worry, kisses.
You'll be just fine.
You'll be so pretty.
Yes, you are.
Ooh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh, Eddie, is there anything you can't do?
You take my very breath away.
I swear, look at this.
Have you ever cut a woman's hair?
Would you cut mine?
That was the single most thrilling experience of my whole life.
They're getting the head of the company!
I'm home!
Honey, we're in here!
Hi.
Hi.
What did you do to your hair?
Edward cut it.
Isn't it wild?
Hello?
I can't believe I'm talking to you in person.
This is such an honor.
Yes.
He's right here.
Great.
So then you know all about him.
Uh-huh.
Well, that's exactly what I've been using.
I've had a little trouble getting it the right consistency.
Yeah.
Well, just a little.
Add 21 Red.
I'll try that.
Uh-huh.
And then a dash of 418.
Well, what imaginative suggestions.
I sure will.
Thank you so much.
Bye-bye.
No wonder she's the head of the company.
She started as a sales representative like me.
I've always wanted to talk to her, but until now, I never had a reason.
Thanks, Edward.
She had some ideas?
You bet she did.
Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm.
I'll get that.
Edward, we're here.
Come on, let's get you sharpened up.
You got it?
No.
I can't believe this.
It's such a mess.
Hi.
Goodbye.
Bye-bye.
Do you have a key?
No.
I could've sworn I put it here.
Well, we're stranded.
Wow.
Thanks.
Ed, what a guy.
Good job.
You didn't break it or scratch it or anything.
Be a pal and yell when Peg pulls in, huh?
Quite a story, yes?
Any questions for Edward?
Yeah.
Get way over.
Stand right up.
What's been the best part of your new life?
The friends I've made.
Any other questions?
Have you ever thought of having corrective surgery or prosthetics?
I know a doctor that might be able to help you.
I'd like to meet him.
We'll get that name after the show.
Anyone else?
Yes.
Stand right up.
But if you had regular hands, you'd be like everyone else.
Yes, I know.
I think he'd like that.
No one would think you were special.
You wouldn't be on TV.
No matter what, Edward will always be special.
More questions?
Yes.
Stand right up.
Your work is so interesting, distinctive, and unique.
Do you have plans to open your own beauty salon?
Oh, there's an idea.
Anyone else?
Yeah.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Ahh.
Sure, he does.
Right, Kim?
Right, Kim?
Now you got him started.
Knock it off, bubble-butt.
You did it.
So?
How about it, Edward?
Is there some special lady in your life?
Ha ha ha ha!
Uh, everything's all right.
We'll take a break, and we'll be right back after these messages.
Why are you laughing?
He got hurt.
It was a little shock.
A little shock?
I wish we'd been taping that.
I'd give my left nut to see that again.
Aren't you excited?
Oh, this is just so thrilling!
Wait till I show it to you.
It's perfect.
I want to call it Shear Heaven.
Ha ha ha ha!
Ohh.
And here we are!
Now, all along here, I'm going to put a row of new mirrors, and back along here, well, I think...
Eddie, come along, doll.
And back here, a whole row of new cosmetics.
And all along this row here...
Peg could sell cosmetics.
Yeah, sure.
And this, of course, is where we wash hair.
And here's where I stand when I greet the customers.
But back in here is what I really want to show you.
Eddie, this is what I really want to show you.
Now, this is the storeroom where we keep everything.
What I need from you is a decision.
I need you to help me make.
Oh, honey, no!
No, don't.
That's dangerous.
Now you just sit right down there.
I have some smocks.
Would you like me to model them for you?
Yes.
Oh-oh-oh With these hands I will cling To you I'm yours forever...
Now, this is my favorite because it's yellow... and what it's for is to catch those itchy little trimmings that fall down your neck.
Ha ha.
And then there's this old purple one, you know, you kind of drape around you like this.
With this heart...
I like that one.
Oh, Eddie.
Why, Eddie, you're trembling.
So am I.
I've been waiting for this moment for so long.
With these hands I'll provide For you Should there be a stormy sea I'll turn the tides For you And I'll never Oh, no, I'll never I'll never let you go Ooh...
Aah!
Edward!
Edward, you come back here!
You can't do that!
Velcro, sweetheart.
Velcro that hangs on the dashboard.
I've never seen that.
Sorry I'm late.
Hi, Edward.
Sorry, we had to go ahead without you.
So, Edward, did you have a productive day?
Mrs.
Monroe showed me where the salon's going to be.
You could have a cosmetics counter.
Oh, wouldn't that be great?
Great.
And then she showed me the back room where she took her clothes off.
Edward, I can't say how thrilled I am.
I'm as pleased as punch.
This beauty parlor venture will teach you volumes.
Nothing like running your own business.
I've never done it myself, but from what I gather, it's the greatest satisfaction a workingman can have.
So I guess the bank's going to be your next step, huh?
The bank?
Yeah.
Take out a loan, get yourself started.
Nothing to worry about.
With your talent and reputation, it's going to be a snap.
Yeah.
No credit, no record of jobs you've held, no savings, no personal investments, no social security number... you may as well not exist... there is no collateral.
We already have a second on the house, but don't the testimonials make a difference?
Did you see here?
The mayor's wife can't wait to become a client.
We simply can't do it.
Now, get yourself a social security card, establish credit, and buy yourself a car.
You have a decided advantage.
You can get one of those handicap placards.
Park anywhere you like.
I can't believe it.
It's an outrage.
But don't you worry.
This isn't the end of it.
We'll get your money somehow.
But that's breaking and entering.
Look, my parents have insurance up the rear, OK?
What'll it have cost them?
A little hassle, that's it.
A week, and my dad will have a new and better everything.
We can't.
A guy will give us cash.
I don't want to.
You don't want a van like Denny's with a mattress in the back?
Why can't you do it?
My father keeps the room locked.
Edward can get us in.
Take the key when he's sleeping.
The only thing he hangs onto tighter is his d*ck.
Kim, Razor Blades would do anything for you.
What do you mean?
That's not true.
Ask him.
That's not fair.
There isn't any other way.
There's got to be.
Look, I've racked my brain.
Don't you want us to have our own van?
Well, yeah.
Jim, the lights are on.
Those go on automatically.
They're gone for the weekend, I told you.
In case of burglars.
You turned off the alarm?
What do you think?
Shh!
I can't believe this is happening.
Sure he doesn't know this is Jim's house?
He's never been here.
This person stole from you?
Shh!
Keep your voice down.
I told you he stole it.
Tell his parents.
They'll make him give it back.
The guy's parents are like he is.
You told Kim you'd do this.
Let's go.
Come on!
Come on!
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on, come on!
Come on!
The bastard had it wired separately.
Come on!
We can't just leave him here!
I can't do this!
Come on, Kim.
Put me down!
We know you're in there.
We're in the process of deactivating the system so that you can come out.
Turn around!
No way.
Jim, it's your house.
They can't arrest you for setting off your own alarm.
We'll say we freaked and ran!
We're not going back, OK?
We have to!
My father would prosecute!
His own son?
Especially his own son!
If Edward tells, I'll k*ll him!
Turn around!
No!
Turn around!
No!
Put your hands high in the air where we can see them.
Your hands up!
He's got something in his hands.
Looks like knives.
Drop your w*apon!
I repeat, drop your w*apon!
I'll ask you one more time.
This is your last warning.
Drop your w*apon.
If you fail to do so, we'll open fire.
Don't make us do that, buddy.
Drop your weapons!
Drop them!
Now!
Looks like we got a psycho.
Prepare to fire!
No!
No!
Stand back, ladies.
Stand back!
Those aren't weapons!
Those are his hands.
Please, we know him.
All right, cuff him.
But we can see him now?
We'll have to hold him overnight for observation.
He has to stay in prison all night?
Pick him up in the morning.
Oh, Edward.
Hello, Edward.
Oh, Edward, dear, I blame myself.
What in God's name was going through your mind, son?
Why didn't I set a better example?
You saw how I envied Jim's parents' money.
What were you going to do with that stuff?
Oh, I blithely say, "We'll get money for the salon somehow," but I never meant stealing.
Dear, stealing's not the way to get it.
Stealing's not the way to get anything.
Except trouble, and you're in a serious heap of that.
Oh, Edward, why ever did you do this?
Damn those TV programs.
Damn them all to hell.
Or did somebody put you up to this?
Will he be O.K., Doc?
The years spent in isolation have not equipped him with the tools necessary to judge right from wrong.
He's had no context.
He's been completely without guidance.
Furthermore, his work... the garden sculptures, hairstyles, and so forth... indicate that he's a highly imaginative, uh... character.
It seems clear that his awareness of what we call reality is radically underdeveloped.
But will he be all right out there?
Oh, yeah, he'll be fine.
Listen, it could keep me up all night worrying about you.
You watch yourself, you hear?
I heard this noise.
I ran out in my bathrobe.
All along, I felt in my gut there was something wrong with him.
It could have been my house.
It could have been any of our houses.
I warned you, didn't I?
I saw the sign of Satan on him.
You didn't heed my warning, but now you will.
Now you can see it, too.
Edward, you stay right here.
What do you have to say in your defense?
He doesn't want to talk now!
You have to say something.
He can't talk right now.
No comments?
No remarks?
So were you set up?
What was going through your mind?
We have to get in the house.
One comment!
Well, for goodness sakes, Lois, I'll see you at our Christmas party before I get you here for your haircut.
Of course we'll have it this year.
Why wouldn't we have it this year?
Well, you may think that, but you're wrong.
You're here.
They didn't hurt you, did they?
Were you scared?
I tried to make Jim go back, but you can't make Jim do anything.
Thank you for not telling them that we...
You're welcome.
It must have been awful when they told you whose house it was.
I knew it was Jim's house.
You did?
Yes.
Well, then why'd you do it?
Because you asked me to.
Kimba!
Kimmy!
Hey!
Don't.
What's the matter with you?
I did what I could.
My old man thinks he's Ret*rded, otherwise he'd still be in jail.
What more do you want?
You could tell the truth.
So could you.
You were there.
You know I didn't want to do it.
But you did do it.
I don't get why you give such a shit anyway.
We'll help you replace the drapes and the towels, but our confidence in you, Edward, isn't going to be so easy to replace.
Dad...
O.K, a little ethics.
You're walking down the street, you find a suitcase full of money.
There's nobody around.
No human person is in evidence.
What do you do?
"A"...
You keep the money.
"B"...
You use it to buy gifts for your friends and loved ones.
"C"...
You give it to the poor.
"D"...
You turn it in to the police.
Dad, this is really stupid.
Kim.
I'd keep the money.
Simmer down.
Edward?
How about after dinner we go to the bowling alley?
That would be fun.
You're not seeing Jim tonight?
We had the coolest show and tell today.
This kid brought in a box of baby possums.
Totally naked, no hair at all.
It's fascinating, but your father's not finished yet.
Thank you, dear.
Edward, we're waiting.
Give it to my loved ones?
Oh, Edward, it does seem that that's what you should do, but it's not.
You dope.
Everybody knows you're supposed to give it to the police.
Good thinking, Kevin.
Well, think about it, you guys.
I mean, that's the nicer thing to do.
That's what I would do.
We're trying to make things easier for him, so let's cut the comedy for a little while.
I am being serious.
It's a nicer thing to do.
We're not talking nice.
We're talking right and wrong.
Shut up!
Oh, goodness sake, no wonder poor Edward can't learn right from wrong living in this family.
Did you hear what he did to Peg's curtains?
It's unbelievable.
That they're having their Christmas party anyway.
Are you going?
Oh, I don't think so.
He practically r*ped Joyce, you know.
Threatening her with those knives?
It's a miracle she escaped.
I don't have anything against Bill and Peg, but...
I know, I know.
They've got that teenage daughter in the house.
Oh, those poor things, after what happened to me.
Can you imagine?
What did you say to Peg about the Christmas party?
I said I hoped we'd make it.
I lied, too.
Edward, do you want to give me that new haircut?
Again?
Yeah, sure.
It makes me proud to have you as my own personal hairdresser.
Hi, honey.
Hi.
Kevin, you want to play scissors-paper-stone?
No.
Why?
It's boring.
I'm tired of always winning.
Other people's feelings?
I'll be outside.
A few manners?
Just never you mind, dear.
Just...
You cut away.
Cut away.
I saw three ships come sailing by On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day I saw three ships come sailing by On Christmas Day in the morning It needs something... else.
What do you think, honey?
More bells?
More bells.
Do you really think we should be having this party?
Of course I do.
I mean, it's just what we need to calm things down, and everything will just go back to normal.
Hmm?
Do you have any more bells, honey?
Hey!
Ooh!
Now you've done it.
It's just a scratch, Jim, really.
Stay back.
Touch her again, I'll k*ll you.
Call a doctor.
He skewered Kim.
No!
He didn't skewer me.
Stay away from her.
You can't touch anything without destroying it.
Who you think you are, hanging around here?
I want you to sit right down and wait for me to bring you some ice.
Stay there.
I'll be right back.
On Christmas Day in the morning Get the hell out of here!
Get the hell out!
Go!
Freak!
Hey, Edward, where are you going?
Where is he?
He tried to hurt you.
He didn't, and you know it!
Are you nuts?
I just saw him!
Jim, I don't love you anymore.
I just want you to go, OK?
Just go!
Are you serious?
Lose you to that?
He isn't even human.
Just get out of here, OK?
Just go!
Dad, did you see where Edward went?
He just waltzed down the street.
We have to go find him, Mom.
Your father will find him.
I'll take care of it.
I'll go find him.
Edward!
I'm calling the police!
Aah!
Oh!
All that blood, sweetie, and it's just a little cut.
Oh.
Hello.
I'm here to see the man with the hands.
Oh...
uh...
He's not here.
Thank you.
Oh, dear.
Helen, did you actually see him?
Yes!
Look!
You see, I told you he was a demon.
Oh, don't start that stuff again.
I'm looking for the man with the scissors.
He went that way.
You have to do something about that.
All right, calm down.
Go on home.
We'll handle it.
Just go home.
He's a de... a demon.
You've got to do something!
All right.
Let's see if he's at our houses.
Come on.
Oh...
I'm sure your father will find him soon.
What time is it?
It's almost 8:30.
Great party, huh?
Where are they?
God, I hope he's O.K.
So do I, honey.
You know, when I brought Edward down here to live with us, I really didn't think things through.
And I didn't think about what could happen to him.. or to us... or to the neighborhood.
And now I think that maybe...it might be best if he goes... back up there.
Because at least there he's safe.
And we'd just go back to normal.
I got halfway to the Whitmars.
I didn't see him anywhere.
Let's get in the car and look for him.
Where's Kevin now?
At Max's.
Where do you think you're going, young lady?
With you guys.
No, you're staying here in case somebody shows up!
W-We'll be right back, dear.
Police.
Edward?
Are you OK?
Yes.
Are you OK?
Where is everybody?
Out looking for you.
Hold me.
I can't.
I know it's a little early for Christmas, Edward, but, uh...
I have a present for you.
Forget holding her hand.
Picture the damage he could do other places.
Yeah.
That's sick.
I feel like I'm going to pass out or puke or something.
Later.
First take me to her house.
Come on.
Don't make me drive.
Just do it!
Jesus.
Maybe she was right about you.
Just drive!
Relax.
See you tomorrow.
Call me.
All right.
Have they caught him yet?
Who?
Him.
That...
That cr*pple.
Ahh.
Let me know when they do.
Let us all know, OK?
Like a good boy?
Kevin.
Ohh!
Are you OK?
Oh!
Ow.
Oh.
Ow!
Oh!
Help!
Edward.
Help.
I'm your friend.
Stop!
Don't!
Stop!
Get away, now!
Somebody help us!
Help!
What are you doing?
Get away!
Aah!
Get the police!
Somebody call the police!
Hey.
Let go of me!
Why?
Kevin!
Hey!
Kevin!
Kevin!
Edward!
Get away!
What happened?
Edward, come home!
Come home!
Aah!
Somebody call the police!
- Aah!
- Aah!
- Aah!
Jim, stop it!
Get off him!
Aah!
Run.
Kevins all right!
It was just the tiniest scratch!
He's gone!
Let's not bother him, all right?
Let's just leave him alone!
Go on, run.
What happened?
- Did you get him?
- O.K., is he dead?
It's all over.
Go on home.
There's nothing more to see.
What happened out there?
It's all over!
I want some answers.
It is all over.
Where is he?
Where is he?
Get back here!
I want to ask you something!
Do you see him?
Wait!
I want to ask you...
He's in that car.
Look at that.
I don't believe it.
They don't have him.
I'm going!
No!
That's not a good idea!
They're coming?
Did I hurt Kevin?
No, he's O.K.
Mostly he was just scared.
Edward, I was so afraid.
I thought you were dead.
I didn't.
No!
No!
No!
Jim, stop!
No!
No!
Stop!
Stop it, or I'll k*ll you myself.
Aah!
Hey!
I said stay away from her!
Goodbye.
I love you.
Aah!
Oh!
- Aah!
- Oh!
- Oh!
Is he in there?
He's dead.
The roof caved in on him.
They k*lled each other.
You can see for yourselves.
See?
I'm going home.
She never saw him again.
Not after that night.
How do you know?
Because I was there.
You could have gone up there.
You still could go.
No, sweetheart.
I'm an old woman now.
I would rather he remember me the way I was.
How do you know he's still alive?
I don't know, not for sure, but...
I believe he is.
You see... before he came down here, it never snowed.
And afterwards... it did.
If he weren't up there now, I don't think it would be snowing.
Sometimes you can still catch me dancing in it.
