EDWARD SCISSORHANDS -- QUOTES
Kim: Hold me.
Edward: I can't.
Kim: You're here... They didn't hurt you, did they?
[Edward shakes his head]
Kim: 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...
Edward: You're welcome.
Kim: It must have been awful when they told you whose house it was.
Edward: I knew it was Jim's house.
Kim: You... you did?
Edward: Yes.
Kim: ...Well, then why'd you do it?
Edward: Because you asked me to.
Bill: So Edward, did you have a productive day?
Edward: Mrs. Monroe showed me where the salon's going to be.
[turns to Peg]
Edward: You could have a cosmetics counter.
Peg Boggs: Oh, wouldn't that be great!
Bill: Great.
Edward: And then she showed me the back room where she took all of her
clothes off.
[everyone stares, Kevin snickers]
Peg Boggs: The light concealing cream goes on first. Then you blend, and blend, and blend. Blending is the secret.
Jim: [after seeing Edward accidentally cut Kim] Hey! Now you've
done it!
Kim: It was just a scratch Jim, really!
Peg Boggs: What's going on?
Jim: Call a doctor, he skewered Kim!
Kim: He didn't skewer me!
Jim: [now bullying and shoving Edward] You can't touch anything
without destroying it! Who the hell do you think you are hanging around here,
huh? Get the hell outta here! Go you freak!
Jim: [to Kim] He tried to hurt you.
Kim: No he did not and you know it!
Jim: Are you nuts? I just saw him!
Kim: Jim, I don't love you anymore I just want you to go, ok? Just go!
Jim: Are you serious? Losing me to a loser like that? He isn't even
human!
Kim: Just get out of here ok, just go!
Kim: [after Jim has left] Dad, did you see where Edward went?
Bill: No, he just waltzed down the street.
Bill: Sweetheart, you can't buy the necessities of life with cookies.
Jim: Forget about holding her hand, man. Think about the damage he could do to other places.
[last lines]
Kim: 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.
Esmerelda: I can't believe you sheep have strayed so far from the path of
righteousness!
Edward: [Walking towards Esmerelda] We're not sheep!
Bill: Soup's on!
Edward: I thought this was shish kabob.
[Joyce offers Edward lemonade]
Joyce: Lemonade?
[Edward pukes]
Jim: I'd give my left nut to see that again.
Peg Boggs: Why are you hiding back there? You don't have to hide from me
- I'm Peg Boggs, your local Avon representative and I'm as harmless as cherry
pie...
[sees Edward come toward her]
Peg Boggs: Oh - I can see that I've disturbed you. I'll just be going
now...
Edward: Don't go.
Peg Boggs: [sees his scissor hands] Oh, my. What happened to you?
Edward: I'm not finished.
Edward: Goodbye.
[Kim kisses Edward]
Kim: I love you.
Officer Allen: Will he be OK, Doc?
Psychologist: 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.
Officer Allen: But will he be all right out there?
Psychologist: Oh yeah, he'll be fine.
Peg Boggs: Darn this stuff!
Host-TV: Quite a story, yes? Any questions for Edward? Yeah, get way
over. Stand right up.
Audience Member #1: What's been the best part of your new life here in
town?
Edward: The friends I made.
Host-TV: Any other questions?
Audience Member #2: Have you ever thought of having corrective surgery or
prosthetics? I know a doctor that might be able to help you.
Edward: I'd like to meet him.
Host-TV: We'll give that name after the show. Thank you very much. That's
very nice. Anyone else? Yes, stand right up.
Audience Member #3: But if you had regular hands you'd be like everyone
else.
Edward: Yes, I know.
Host-TV: I think he'd like that.
Audience Member #4: Then no one would think you're special. You wouldn't
be on TV or anything.
Peg Boggs: No matter what, Edward will always be special.
George: Eddie. The guys and I were talking, we'd like want to invite you to our card game on Friday night. Would you like that? Only thing is, you can't cut!
[Kevin has brought Edward to his class for show and tell]
Kevin: One chop to a guy's neck, and it's all over.
[Edward does a karate pose; the class gasps in unison]
Kim: Edward, I was so afraid. I thought you were dead.
Jim: [coming into the screen with a revolver] I didn't.
Kim: [threatening Jim with Edward's scissors] STOP IT! Or I'll
kill you myself!
Jim: [Jim slaps her and kicks her away] Bullshit!
Jim: [to Edward who is approaching Kim] Hey, I said stay away from
her!
The Inventor: I know it is a little early for Christmas, Edward, but; I
have a present for you.
[shows Edward his soon to be human hands]
Edward: Kevin, you wanna play scissors, paper, stone again?
Kevin: No!
Edward: Why not?
Kevin: 'Cause it's boring. I always win!
Suzanne: [at the dinner table, Edward hands her some meat with his scissors] I can't eat that, he used his hands. I think it's unsanitary.
Joyce: [after Edward cuts her hair] That was the single most thrilling experience of my entire life.
Kim: Why can't you do it?
Jim: Because my father keeps the damn room locked. We need Edward to get
us in.
Kim: Well can't you just take the key when he's sleeping or something?
Jim: You don't understand. The only thing that guy hangs onto tighter is
his dick.
Officer Allen: We're looking for the man with the hands.
