Edward Scissorhands quotes

Dialogue

:Peg: What happened to you? Where are your parents? Your mother? Your father?
:Edward: He didn’t wake up.
: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!
: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?
: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: [without listening] 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.
:Kim: Hold me.
:Edward: [tries to hold her]…I can’t.
: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.
: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.
:Peg: The light concealing cream goes on first. Then you blend, and blend, and blend. Blending is the secret.
: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: You know- damn those TV programs!
:Bill: Damn them all to hell.
