Edward Scissorhands 1990 quotes

Bill

So, Edward, did you have a productive day?

Edward

Mrs. Monroe showed me where the salon's going to be. You could have a cosmetics counter.

Peg

Wouldn't that be great?

Bill

Great.

Edward

And then she showed me the back room where she took all of her clothes off.

Bill

Edward, I can't tell you how thrilled I am, I'm just as pleased as punch. This whole beauty parlor venture is gonna teach you volumes and nothing like running your own business. I've never done it myself, but from what I gather it's the greatest satisfaction a working man can have.

Bill

Sweetheart, you can't buy the necessities of life with cookies.

Esmeralda

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!

Joyce

Did you hear that? [chuckles] He's a perversion of nature. Why, isn't that exciting?

Esmeralda

It's not heaven he's from! It's straight from the stinking flames of hell! The power of Satan is in him; I can feel it. Can't you? Have you poor sheep strayed so far from the path?

Edward

We're not sheep.

Esmeralda

Don't come near me!

Jim

Hey! I said, "Stay away from her!" [Edward stabs him in the stomach and pushes him to fall out of a window to his death]

Jim

Forget about holding her hand, man. Think about the damage he could do to other places.

Kim

Hold me.

Edward

...I can't.

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.

Officer Allen

Will he be okay, 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

Darn this stuff!

Peg

The light concealing cream goes on first. Then you blend, and blend, and blend. Blending is the secret.

Peg

What happened to you? Where are your parents? Your mother? Um...father?

Edward

He didn't wake up.

Peg

You know- damn those TV programs!

Bill

Damn them all to hell.

Kim

Where is he?

Jim

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, okay? Just go.

Jim

Are you serious? I'm gonna lose you to that? He isn't even human.

Kim

Just get out of here, okay?! Just go!

Jim

Hey! Now you've done it!

Kim

It was just a scratch Jim, really!

Peg

What's going on?

Jim

Call a doctor, he skewered Kim!

Kim

He didn't skewer me!

Jim

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

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, okay? Just go.

Jim

Are you serious? I'm gonna lose you to that? He isn't even human.

Kim

Just get out of here, okay?! Just go!
