Dialogue
- Peg: What happened to you? Where are your parents? Your mother? Your father?
- Edward: He didn't wake up.
- 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.
- Kim: Hold me.
- Edward: [tries to hold her]...I can't.
- Bill: Sweetheart, you can't buy the necessities of life with cookies.
- Jim: Forget about holding her hand, man. Think about the damage he could do to other places.
- Kim: 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.
