Edward Scissorhands Page #3

EDWARD:

Sometimes.

PEG:

Bill, could I have the salt and pepper? Thank

you.

KEVIN:

Man, those things are cool. You know I bet

they're razor sharp. One karate chop to a guy's

neck...

PEG:

Would you like some butter for your bread?

PEG:

Great.

EDWARD:

Thank you.

KEVIN:

Can I bring him to show and tell on Monday?

PEG:

I've had enough.

PEG:

(to Edward)

You think you can sleep? Things feel strange

now, but soon you'll feel right at home. Good

night.

(Peg tries to cover Edward's

scars.)

PEG:

The light concealing cream goes on first, then

you blend and blend and blend. Blending is the

secret. More concealing for you? But you

complexion is so fair. Now this has a touch of

lavender in it. Give it a try here. Close

enough. OK. This should do the trick here. I

have another idea. We'll cover up the scars and

start with a completely smooth surface. Don't

eat this stuff! Sports announcements on

RADIO:

Hartely into the windup and the strike one

pitch. Swung on and missed strike two. If it's

a hit, the club has 12 hits. But they still

have 11 on the scoreboard and it's 3-1. 0 and 2

the count to Warren. Now they change it to 12

hits.

BILL:

Turn it up, Kevin. I can't hear it. Kevin! No,

make it louder. Sports announcements on

RADIO:

Hartely's strike two pitch is hammered.

KEVIN:

You hear that, Mr. Boggs?

BILL:

No, make it louder. Sports announcements on

RADIO:

It's going way back. It's gone. It's out of

here. It is history.

KEVIN:

Dad, look! Sports announcements on

RADIO:

A grand slam for Martinez to make it a five-run

inning and blow this game to pieces.

BILL:

I'll be darned.

PEG:

They filled the whole tape.

(Peg listens to the recorded

phones.)

RECORDED VOICES:

What's going on over there, Peg. Call me....Hi,

it's Margie. Who is he? Call me. Oh, by the

way, here it's pouring rain in the mountains.

You think the kids are okay?...Hi, there,

darling. The gals are all in a tizzy about your

secret visitor. You can't keep him a secret

forever.

BILL:

Boy, it's just wonderful, Ed. My god, you, you

have the whole family in there, don't you?

KEVIN:

Edward, come here.

(Kevin cleans Edward's

scissorhands with water.)

BILL:

No, no, no. That's a terrible idea, son. Go to

the garage and get the oil can. We don't want

him rusting up on this now, do we?

PEG:

Edward, you did us? Oh, Bill. It's us.

BILL:

Yes, it is.

PEG:

Oh, Edward.

(Esmeralda comes near.)

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. God, you have the

poor sheep strayed so far from the path.

EDWARD:

We are not sheep.

ESMERALDA:

Don't come near me.

BILL:

That's right. Go on. Get out of here. Run!
