• 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.

• Kim : Hold me.

  Edward : I can't.

• [last lines] 

  Kim : She never saw him again. Not after that night.

  Granddaughter : How do you know?

  Kim : [removes her glasses]  Because I was there.

  Granddaughter : You could have gone up there. You could still go.

  Kim : No, sweetheart. I'm an old woman now. I would rather he remember me the way I was.

  Granddaughter : How do you know he's still alive?

  Kim : 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.

• Edward : Goodbye.

  [Kim kisses Edward] 

  Kim : I love you.

• 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.

• Kim : [finishes her story to her granddaughter]  She never saw him again. Not after that night.

  Granddaughter : How do you know?

  Kim : [takes off her glasses revealing herself]  Because I was there.

  Granddaughter : You could've gone up there, you still could go.

  Kim : No, sweetheart. I'm an old woman now. I would rather have him remember me the way I was.

• 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!

• Kim : Edward?

  Edward : Are you okay?

  Kim : Yes. Are you okay?

  Edward : Where is everybody?

  Kim : Out looking for you.

• Kim : [approaches the neighbors]  He's dead. The roof caved in on them. They killed each other. You can see for yourselves. See?

  [Kim holds up a fake scissor hand] 

  Helen : [leaves with the others, sadly]  I'm going home.

• Kim : [as Jim discusses a plan with her]  But that's breaking and entering.

  Jim : Look, my parents have insurance up the rear, okay? What'll it cost 'em? A little hassle? That's it. A week and my dad will have a new and better everything.

  Kim : We can't.

  Jim : Look, there's a guy who will give us cash for this stuff.

  Kim : Jim, I don't want to.

  Jim : What, you don't want us to have our own van like Denny's where we can be by ourselves whenever we'd like, huh? With a mattress in the back?

  Kim : Why can't you just do it?

  Jim : Because my father keeps the damn room locked. We need Edward to get us in.

  Kim : Can't you take the key, like, when he's sleeping or something?

  Jim : Look, you don't understand. The only thing he hangs on tighter to is his dick.

  [Kim sighs] 

  Jim : Come on, Kim. Razor blades will do anything for you.

  Kim : What do you mean? That's not true.

  Jim : No? Why don't you ask him?

  Kim : That's not fair.

  Jim : What's fair got to do with it? There isn't any other way.

  Kim : There's gotta be.

  Jim : Look, I've wracked my brain. Do you want us to have our own van?

  Kim : [reluctantly]  Yeah.

• Peg Boggs : Edward, this is our daughter Kim. Kim, this is Edward, who's gonna live with us.

  Kim : Hi.

• Jim : Hey! Now you've done it.

  Kim : It's just a scratch, Jim, really. It's okay.

  Jim : Stay back! Touch her again and I'll kill you.

  Kim : No, it's no big deal. It's just a scratch.

  Jim : Call a doctor. He skewered Kim.

• [first lines] 

  Kim : Snuggle in, sweetie. It's cold out there.

  Granddaughter : Why is it snowing, Grandma? Where does it come from?

  Kim : Oh, that's a long story, sweetheart...

• Kim : I guess it would have to start with scissors.

  Granddaughter : Scissors?

  Kim : Well, there are all kinds of scissors. And once, there was even a man who had scissors for hands.

  Granddaughter : Hands, scissors?

  Kim : No, Scissorhands. You know the mansion on top of the mountain?

  Granddaughter : It's haunted.

  Kim : 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.

  Granddaughter : He didn't have a name?

  Kim : Of course he had a name. His name was Edward.
