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. i'm sorry edward, i didn't.  oh, dear. may i help you with this?
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.
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.
yes, i can help with the scars. i just want to consult the avon handbook before doing anything.
kevin, it's not polite to stare. think how it would make you feel if somebody were staring at you.
well, i would, so don't do it!
i think he prefers edward.
i was just.
bill, could i have the salt and pepper? thank you.
would you like some butter for your bread?
great.
i've had enough.
you think you can sleep? things feel strange now, but soon you'll feel right at home. good night.
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
they filled the whole tape.
edward, you did us? oh, bill. it's us.
oh, edward.
edward, don't you listen to her.
hi, joyce. hi!
no, it, it's.  things have just been a little hectic around here. that's all.
barbecue?
what time? ah.  bill.
i've always said that you really can't have a picnic or a barbecue without deviled eggs. they're just the best. they make the thing. oh, dear. edward. that's wonderful. i didn't know you chopped all those things. what a really big.  oh, all right now. it's just a nick. there's no need to be nervous, dear. you know, esmeralda won't be here and the rest of neighbors there are really very nice. there's no need to be nervous. they are so eager to meet you. you just have to be yourself.
that's right. just your own sweet self.
he did them just like that.
are you ok? do you want something to eat? are you hungry? do you want a cracker?
honey, that was edward.
edward's come to live with us. there's nothing to be upset about. no, no. it's okay.
now you stay in kevin's room tonight. tomorrow we'll fix your room right.
oh, honey, i couldn't have left him there all alone. you would have done the same thing.
oh, my goodness, kim. i'm surprised at you. he can't help the way he is. have a little sympathy.
then let's just say hello and later you can come downstairs and shake his hand.
well, not literally. goodness, you scared him half to death.
hi, bill. i just wanted you two to have a proper introduction. edward, this is our daughter kim. kim, this is edward who's going to live with us.
bill, you know what edward told me? he had lunch at jackie's today.
she's just had her kitchen completely redone.
new paint, new cabinets, new floors, new microwave, new sonnet dishwasher.
isn't that something? jim, didn't you tell me your mom had her kitchen done too?
my goodness sake! i wonder what it's like to be that rich.
now, bill. margie made him cookies today.
honey, you want me to help you clean that up?
it won't be long. she has just to decide on the style, and then it will be fine. she just has to decide what style she wants.
we're getting the head of the company.
hi, honey. we're in here.
edward cut it. isn't it wild? hello. oh, i can't believe i'm talking to you in person. this is such an honor. yes. he's right here. great. so then you know all about it. aha. that's exactly what i've been using. well, i've had a little trouble getting it to the right consistency. yeah, right. just a little. i'll try that. well, what imaginative suggestions! i sure will. thank you so much. bye bye. no wonder she's the head of the company. you know, she started out as a sales representative just like me. i've always wanted to talk to her but until now i never had a reason. thanks, edward.
you bet she did.
no matter what, edward will always special.
i've never seen that.
hi, edward. sorry. we had to go ahead without you. here you go.
wouldn't that be great?
you know. we already have a second on the house, but don't the testimonials make a difference? did you see here, the mayor's wife can't wait to become a client?
i can't believe it. really, it's just an outrage. don't you worry. this isn't the end of it. we'll get your money somewhere.
but can we see him now?
he has to stay in prison all night?
oh, edward. hello edward, dear. i blame myself.
why don't i set a better example? you saw how i envied jim's parents, their money.
oh, i blithely say, "we'll get money for the salon somehow." but i never meant stealing. stealing's not the way to get it. stealing's not the way to get anything.
why ever did you do this?
edward. you stay here.
he didn't want to talk.
he can't talk right now.
we have to get in the house. we don't want to talk to you. we'll talk to you later.
well, for goodness sakes, lois, i'll see you at our christmas party. before i get you here for your haircut. of course, we'll have it this year. why wouldn't we have it this year? well, you may think that, but you're wrong.
kim!
simmer down.
you are not seeing jim tonight?
honey, this is fascinating. but i don't think your father's finished yet.
oh, edward, it does seem that that's what you should do, bit it's not.
oh, goodness sake, no wonder poor edward can't learn right from wrong living in his family.
edward, do you want to give me that new haircut?
yes, sure.
it makes me proud to have you as my own personal hairdresser.
other people's feelings?
a few manners? just never you mind. just you cut away. cut away. it needs something else. what do you think, honey?
more bells. okay.
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?
you. your father will find him this minute.
all that blood, sweetie, and it's just a little cut.
oh.  uh.
oh, dear.
i'm sure your father will find him soon.
it's almost eight thirty. great party, huh?
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.
oh, dear. oh, just.  well, let's get in the car and go look for him.
he's max'es.
we'll be right back, dear.
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!
