Edward Scissorhands Page #6

PEG:

It makes me proud to have you as my own

personal hairdresser.

KEVIN:

Hi, honey. honey.

EDWARD:

Kevin, you want to play scissors-paper-stone?

KEVIN:

No.

EDWARD:

No, why?

KEVIN:

It's boring. I'm tired of always winning.

PEG:

Other people's feelings?

KEVIN:

I'll be outside.

PEG:

A few manners? Just never you mind. Just you

cut away. Cut away. It needs something else.

What do you think, honey?

KIM:

More bells?

PEG:

More bells. Okay.

KIM:

Mom, do you really think that we should be

having this party?

PEG:

Of course I think we should be having this

party. Of course I do. I mean as just what we

need is just to calm things down and then

everything will just go back to normal. Do you

have any more bells, honey?

(Kim goes out into the garden and

sees Edward sculpture an ice mass.

When he sculptures it, snowflakes

begin to fall, and Kim dances in

the snow. After he finishes it, he

cuts her hand by accident. Then Jim

shows up.)

JIM:

Get the hell out of here. Get the hell out! Go.

Freak!

BILL:

Edward, where are you going?

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 any more. I just want you

to go. Okay? Just go!

JIM:

Are you serious? I'm going to lose you to that?

He isn't even human.

KIM:

Just get out of here. Okay? Just go! Dad, did

you see where Edward went?

BILL:

Well. I don't know. He just walked down the

street.

KIM:

Well, we have to go find him, mom?

PEG:

You...your father will find him this minute.

BILL:

All in the house. I'll take care of it. I'll go

find him.

HELEN:

Edward! I'm calling the police!

PEG:

All that blood, sweetie, and it's just a little

cut.

(doorbell chimes.)

POLICE:

Hello, I'm here to see the man with the hands.

PEG:

Oh... Uh...

POLICE:

He's not here. Thank you.

PEG:

Oh, dear.

MARGIE:

Helen, did you actually see him?

HELEN:

Yes, look.

ESMERALDA:

You see, I told you he was a demon.

MARGIE:

Oh, don't start that stuff again.

POLICE:

I'm looking for the man with scissors.

WOMEN:

He went that way. You have to do something

about that.

POLICE:

All right, calm down, go on home. We'll handle.

Just go home.

HELEN:

He's a de... a demon.

WOMEN:

You've got to do something! All right, Let's

see. If he's at our house come on, oh...

PEG:

I'm sure your father will find him soon.

KIM:

What time is it?

PEG:

It's almost eight thirty. Great party, huh?

KIM:

Where are they? God. I hope he's okay!

PEG:

So do I, honey. You know, when I brought Edward

down here to live with us, I really didn't

think things through. And I didn't think about

what could happen to him, or to us, or to the

neighborhood. You know, I think that maybe it

might be best if he goes back up there. Because

at least there he's safe, and we'd just go back

to normal.

BILL:

Now I got up by the Wiggmans, but I didn't see

him anywhere.

PEG:

Oh, dear. Oh, just... Well, let's get in the

car and go look for him.

BILL:

Where's Kevin now?

PEG:

He's Max'es.

BILL:

Where do you think you're going, young lady?

KIM:

With you guys.

BILL:

No, you're staying here in case somebody shows

up!

PEG:

We'll be right back, dear.

EDWARD:

Police!

(On seeing a police car Edward

goes back to Peg's)

KIM:

Edward?

EDWARD:

Are you okay?

KIM:

Yes, are you okay?

EDWARD:

Where's everybody?

KIM:

Out looking for you. Hold me.

EDWARD:

I can't.

(Kim holds Edward and Edward

reflects about the inventor.)

INVENTOR:

I know it's a little early for Christmas,

Edward, but I have a present for you.

(Kevin comes out of his friend's

house.)

(Jim talks with his friend.)

JIM:

Forget holding her hand. Picture the damage he

could do other places.

JIM'S FRIEND

Yeah, that's sick. I feel like I'm coming to

pass out, or puke or something.

JIM:

Later, first take me to her house.

JIM'S FRIEND

Come on, don't make me drive.

JIM:

Just do it!

JIM'S FRIEND

Jesus, maybe she was right about you.

JIM:

Just drive.

JIM'S FRIEND

Relax.

KEVIN:

See you tomorrow. Call me, Right?

A MAN:

Have they caught him yet?

KEVIN:

Who?

A MAN:

Him, that cripple. Let me know when they do.

Let us all you know, okay? Like a good boy.

(The car driven by Denny comes

close to run over Kevin. Edward who

sees it saves Kevin but many people

mistakenly think that Edward tries

to kill Kevin. Kim tells Edward to

run, and he runs away. People

follow him to the castle.)

EDWARD:

Oh! Are you ok? oh! owh!

KEVIN:

Help! Edward help!

EDWARD:

I'm your friend.

KEVIN:

Stop! Don't! Stop! Get away, now! Somebody help

us! Help!

PEOPLE 1

What are you doing? Get away!

PEOPLE 2

Get the police!

PEOPLE 3

Somebody call the police! Hey

KIM:

Let go of me! Why? Kevin!

PEG AND BILL:

Kevin! Kevin! Edward! Get away. What happened?

Edward! Go home! Go home!

PEOPLE:

Somebody call the police! Aah!

KIM:

Jim, stop it. Get off him!

(Siren)

KIM:

Run.

PEG:

Kevin's all right! It was just the tiniest

scratch! He's gone! Let's not bother him, all

right? Let just leave him alone!

(Gunshots)

POLICE:

Go on, run.

PEOPLE:

What happened? Did you get him? Ok, Is he dead?

POLICE:

It's all over, go on home. There's nothing more

to see. What happened out there? It's all over!

PEOPLE:

I want some answers. Where is he?

PEOPLE:

Get back here! I want to ask you something. Do

you see him? Wait! I want to ask you... He's in

that car. Look at that.

JOYCE:

I don't believe it. They don't have him. I'm

going! No! That's not a good idea!

EDWARD:

They are coming? Did I hurt Kevin?

KIM:

No, he's okay. He said he was just scared.

Edward, I was so afraid. I thought you were

dead.

JIM:

I didn't.

(Jim fires at Edward and Kim tries

to stop him. In their fight, Edward

kills Jim, and then says good-by to

Kim.)

KIM:

Jim. Stop! Stop it, or I'll kill you myself.

JIM:

Hey! I said stay away from her!

(Neighbor's voice)

EDWARD:

Goodbye!

KIM:

I love you.

A MAN:

Is he in there?

KIM:

He's dead. The roof caved in on him. They

killed each other. You can see for yourselves.

(She raises a pair of scissors.)

OLD KIM:

She never saw him again. Not after that night.

GRANDDAUGHTER:

How do you know?

OLD KIM:

Because I was there.

GRANDDAUGHTER:

You could have gone up there. You still could

go.

OLD KIM:

No, sweetheart. I'm an old woman now. I would

rather want him remember me the way as I was.

GRANDDAUGHTER:

How do you know he's still alive.

OLD 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.
