Edward Scissorhands Page #2

A WOMAN:

Joyce, I just saw this strange guy drop in with

Peg. I didn't get a very good look at him. He

looked kind of pale. Okay, I'll be right there.

Don't do anything without me. Okay? Bye.

JOYCE:

Yes, I'll be right there.

PEG:

Here we are. So, oh, this is the living room

and back here, the bedrooms. You want to see

the pictures? All right. Well, this is my

husband, Bill. He's a bowling champion. Do you

know what bowling is? Bowling? Well, here they

are down at the lake, fishing. I think Kevin

looks a little glum Because they didn't catch

anything that day. And here's my daughter, Kim.

All dressed up the junior prom. She's a senior

now. I can't believe it. She's camping in the

mountains with some friends, but she'll be back

in a few days and you can meet her then. Isn't

she beautiful? That's my family. Now, go on,

dear. I'll show you the rest of the house. Then

you can just freshen up and make yourself at

home. Okay? That's the kitchen over there. You

help yourself to anything you want to eat or

drink. Those are grapes. Back here are the

bedrooms. Let me get you some towels, then I

will see what we can find to wear. You know

what? I think I have some of Bill's old clothes

in here. This is perfect. Here. These should

just fit you.

(The phone rings.)

Oh, no, no. Don't be alarmed. That's just a

phone. Now you can go in Kim's room and put

these on. I'll be right with you.

PEG:

No, no, scissors. That's right. Well, he was

born up there or something. Have you seen him

before? No, I don't think he's been off the

grounds before today. You're kidding. How did

you get together with him? I have to go. I'll

talk to you later Margie, Bye-bye.

(to Edward)

I'm sorry Edward, I didn't... oh, dear. May I

help you with this?

EDWARD:

Thank you.

PEG:

There you go. Oh, dear, you've cut your face.

Let me get this right off. Does that hurt?

Okay. No, good. Now let's get you dressed.

Okay. There we go. Very fine. You look fine,

just fine. Come on, we can't wait for you.

You've got rollers in your damn hair.

PEG:

Okay. Now what did I do with my sci... Edward,

um, would you. Thank you. I have a doctor

friend who I think could help you.

EDWARD:

Really?

PEG:

Yes, I can help with the scars. I just want to

consult the Avon handbook before doing

anything.

PEG:

Kevin, it's not polite to stare. Think how it

would make you feel if somebody were staring at

you.

KEVIN:

I wouldn't care.

PEG:

Well, I would, so don't do it!

BILL:

This must be quite a change for you, Ed.

PEG:

I think he prefers Edward.

BILL:

Sure. So what have you been doing up there in

that big old place? I bet the view must be

spectacular, Ed.

PEG:

I was just...

BILL:

See all the way to the ocean?
