  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.

  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.
