An artificial man, who was incompletely constructed and has scissors for hands, leads a solitary life.
I am not complete. – Edward
Sweetheart, you can’t buy the necessities of life with cookies. – Bill
Soup’s on! – Bill I thought this was shish kabob. – Edward
Hold me. – Kim I can’t. – Edward
You could have gone up there. You could still go. – Granddaughter No, sweetheart. I’m an old woman now. I would rather he remember me the way I was. – Kim How do you know he’s still alive? – Granddaughter 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
You’re here… They didn’t hurt you, did they? – 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… – Kim You’re welcome. – Edward It must have been awful when they told you whose house it was. – Kim I knew it was Jim’s house. – Edward You… you did? – Kim Yes. – Edward …Well, then why’d you do it? – Kim Because you asked me to. – Edward
Will he be OK, Doc? – Officer Allen 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. – Psychologist But will he be all right out there? – Officer Allen Oh yeah, he’ll be fine. – Psychologist
I’m not finished. – Edward
Avon calling. – Peg Boggs Weren’t you just here? – Helen No, not since last season. Today I’ve come to show you our exquisite new line in softer colours in shadows, blushes and lipstick. Everything you need to accent and highlight your changing look. – Peg Boggs
Kevin, you wanna play scissors, paper, stone again? – Edward No! – Kevin Why not? – Edward ‘Cause it’s boring. I always win! – Kevin
Why can’t you do it? – Kim Because my father keeps the damn room locked. We need Edward to get us in. – Jim Well can’t you just take the key when he’s sleeping or something? – Kim You don’t understand. The only thing that guy hangs onto tighter is his dick. – Jim
Well I’ll be darned. – Bill
I’d give my left nut to see that again. – Jim
Good morning Joyce. Avon calling. – Peg Boggs Well Peg, have you gone blind? Can’t you see there’s a vehicle in my driveway? – Joyce
