Peg: Why are you hiding back there? You don't have to hide from me - I'm Peg Boggs, your local Avon representative and I'm as harmless as cherry pie... [sees Edward come toward her] Oh - I can see that I've disturbed you. I'll just be going now... Edward: Don't go. Peg: [sees his scissor hands] Oh, my. What happened to you? Edward: I'm not finished. Peg: My, those are your hands? Those are your hands! What happened to you? Where are your parents? Um... Your mother? Your father? Edward: He didn't wake up. Peg: Are you alone? Do you live up here all by yourself? What happened to your face? No, I won't hurt you. But at the very least, let me give you a good astringent. And this will help to prevent infection. What's your name? Edward: Edward. Peg: Edward... I think you should just come home with me.

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.

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.
