Edward Scissorhands Page #4

EDWARD:

She had some ideas?

PEG:

You bet she did.

(At the Airport)

MARGIE:

I'll get that.

MARGIE:

Edward! We're here. Come on. Let's get you

sharpened up.

JIM:

You got it?

KIM:

No, I can't believe this.

(Kim sees Edward coming.)

Do you have a key?

EDWARD:

No.

KIM:

I could have sworn I put it in here somewhere.

JIM:

Well, we're stranded.

(Edward opens the locked door with

his scissorhands.)

KIM:

Wow! Thanks.

JIM:

Ed, what a guy! Good job. Hey, you didn't break

it or scratch it or anything. Hey, be a pal and

yell when Peg pulls in, huh?

TV HOST:

Quite a story, yes? Any questions for Edward?

Yeah, get way over. Stand right up.

WOMAN 1

What's been the best part of your new life here

in town?

EDWARD:

The friends I've made.

TV HOST:

Any other questions?

WOMAN 2

Have you ever thought of having corrective

surgery or prosthetics? I know a doctor that

might be able to help you.

EDWARD:

I'd like to meet him.

TV HOST:

We'll give that name after the show. Thank you

very much. That's very nice. Anyone else? Yes,

stand right up.

WOMAN 3

But if you had regular hands you'd be like

everyone else.

EDWARD:

Yes, I know.

TV HOST:

I think he'd like that.

WOMAN 4

Then no one would think you're special. You

wouldn't be on TV or anything.

PEG:

No matter what, Edward will always special.

TV HOST:

More questions? Stand right up.

WOMAN 5

Your work is so interesting distinctive and

unique. Do you have plans to open your own

beauty salon?

TV HOST:

There's an idea. Anyone else? Yeah.

WOMAN 6

Do you have a girl friend? Ahh.

(Living room in Peg's)

JIM:

Sure, he does. Right, Kim?

KIM:

Now you got him started.

JIM:

Knock it off, bubble- butt.

KEVIN:

You did it.

JIM:

So?

(On the TV Show)

TV HOST:

How about it? Is there some special lady in

your life?

TV HOST:

Uh, everything's all right. He'll take a break

and we'll be right back after these messages.

KIM:

Why are you laughing? He got hurt.

JIM:

It was a little shock. Ha! Ha! Ha!

KIM:

A little shock?

JIM:

I wish we'd been taping that. I'd give my left

nut to see that again.

(Edward in beauty salon)

JOYCE:

Aren't you excited? Oh, this is just so

thrilling. Wait till I show it to you. It's

just perfect. It's just what we've been looking

for. I want to call it "Shear Heaven." Here we

are. No, all along here I'm going to put a row

of new mirrors. Back up here a whole row of new

cosmetics.

(TV 1/4Œ)

All along this row here.

EDWARD:

Peg could sell cosmetics.

JOYCE:

Sure. This is where I stand when I greet the

customers. Back in here is what I really want

to show you. This is the storeroom for

supplies. What I need from you today is to help

me make a decision. Don't, that's dangerous.

You just sit down right there. I have some

smocks. Would you like me to model them? This

is my favorite because it's yellow. And what

it's for is to catch itchy little trimming that

fall down your neck. Then there's this old

purple one, you know, you kind of drape around

you like this.

EDWARD:

I like that one.

JOYCE:

You're trembling. So am I. I've been waiting

for this moment for so long. Edward! Edward,

you come back here! You can't do that!

(In the Restaurant)

BILL:

Veloro. Veloro. Sweetheart. That hangs on the

dash board.

PEG:

I've never seen that.

EDWARD:

Sorry I'm late.

PEG:

Hi, Edward. Sorry. We had to go ahead without

you. Here you go.

BILL:

So, Edward, did you have a productive day?

EDWARD:

Mrs. Monroe showed me where the salon is going

to be. You could have a cosmetic 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, that's what's going to teach you

volumes. There's 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. So I guess the bank is

going to be your next step, huh?

EDWARD:

The bank?

BILL:

Yeah, take out a loan. Get yourself started.

Nothing to worry about. With your talent and

reputation, it's going to be a snap. Now.

BANK CLERK:

No credit, no record of jobs you've held, no

savings, no personal investment, no social

security number. You may as well not even

exist. There is no collateral.

PEG:

You know. We already have a second on the

house, but don't the testimonials make a

difference? Did you see here, the mayor's wife

can't wait to become a client?

BANK CLERK:

We simply can't do it. Now get yourself a

social security card. Establish credit and buy

yourself a car. You have the side to advantage.

You can get one of those handicapped placards.

No problem. Park anywhere you like.

PEG:

I can't believe it. Really, it's just an

outrage. Don't you worry. This isn't the end of

it. We'll get your money somewhere.

KIM:

But that's breaking and entering.

JIM:

Look. My parents have insurance up the rear.

Okay? And all it will cost them is a little

hassle. That's about it. In a week my dad will

have new and better everything.

KIM:

We can't.

JIM:

Look. There's a guy who will give us cash for

the stuff.

KIM:

Jim, I don't want to.

JIM:

Well, do you want to ride around in a van like

Denny's, and we could be by ourselves whenever

we like? With a mattress in the back?

KIM:

Why can't you just do it?

JIM:

Because my father keeps the damn room locked,

and we need Edward to get us in.

KIM:

Why can't you take the key like when he's

sleeping or something?

JIM:

Look, you don't understand, everything he

handcuffs or ties will do anything for you.

KIM:

What do you mean? That's not true.

JIM:

Oh, 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 got to be.

JIM:

Look. I've racked my brain. Don't you want us

to have our own van?

KIM:

Yeah. Jim, the lights are on.

JIM:

Those go on automatically. They've gone for the

weekend. I told you. That's right.

DENNY:

This burglar scared.

KIM:

You turned off the alarm. Am I right?

JIM:

Yes, everything, come on. Let's go. Come on.

KIM:

I can't believe this is happening.

A GIRL:

Are you sure he doesn't know this is Jim's

house?

KIM:

He's never been here.

EDWARD:

This person stole from you?

JIM:

Keep your voice down. I told you he stole it.

Right? Come on. Let's go.

EDWARD:

His parents will make him give it back.

JIM:

Listen, I've already tried that. The guy's

parents are like he is. Okay? Now, you told Kim

you'd do this. Well, come on. Let's go. Come

on. Come on. Come on.

(Edward picks the lock and the

door opens, but when he steps into

the room the alarm works and the

door shuts.)
