*The next day, Edward was at Joyce's house. He was sculpturing her bush into swans while she was making some lemonade*

Joyce: Eddie. Thirsty? *She called to him. He noticed his mouth was dry, so he nodded with a smile. She smiled back then Kisses started to bark*

Joyce: Kisses, Hush up. Quiet now. I can hardly hear myself think. Momma's precious little baby girl! *She kicked the poor dog as she approached Edward* Wouldn't you like a nice cool glass of lemonade? 

Edward: Lemonade? * Then he vomits* 

*Meanwhile in Kevin's school a show and tell was present. As he shows Edward to his class*

Kevin: One chop to a guy's neck. And it's all over. *Edward held his Scissorhands up in a drama pose, startling the classmates* They're the sharpest things in the world. They can hack through anything. And... *Edward takes out a red paper and started to cut away. After he was done, he shows his work with pride. Everyone in the class applause*

*After school Kim, Jim and Suzanne were walking home. While Perdita was seen talking to another dog*

Kim: I think they look weird. They give me the creeps. 

Suzanne: You should see the clown in front of Ms. Peter's yard. 

*Edward came out in front of Marge's front yard*

Edward: Kim! Perdita!

*The teens turned around. Perdita looked and gave him a friendly bark*

Kim: Oh, no. 

Suzanne: That's him? 

Jim: He's calling you, Kim. 

Kim: Stop it. 

Marge: Edward, you forgot your cookies. *Edward looked at her and back at the teens*

Jim: Don't worry, Eddie. She's waiting for you. *He picks Kim up bridal style, she giggled* 

Suzanne: Let's go. * Then they leave. Marge offers him a cookie*

* Nighttime came and everyone was at the table eating, Edward was cutting the meat with his blade finger*

Peg: Bill, you know what Edward told me? He had lunch at Jackie's today. 

Bill: Really? 

Peg: She's just had her kitchen completely redone. 

Bill: I'll be darned. 

Peg: New paint, new cabinets, new floors, new microwave, new Sonnet dishwasher. 

Bill: Yeah, isn't that wonderful? 

Peg: Isn't that something? Jim, didn't you just tell me your mom had her kitchen done too? 

Jim: Yeah, my dad bought himself a bunch of new toys. Big screen TV, CD players, VCR with four heads. 

Peg: My goodness sake! I wonder what's it's like to be that rich. *She giggled*

Jim: No, they keep things pretty much locked up. My father has his own room for his stuff to make sure I can't get and use it. He's so cheap he won't even help me buy my own car. 

Bill: Well, he probably wants you to pay for it yourself. I agree with him. It builds character. You'll appreciate it more. 

Kim: Dad... 

Bill: Speaking of money, I understand you are not charging for gardening, Edward.

Peg: Now, Bill. Marge made him cookies today. 

Bill: Sweetheart, you can't buy the necessities of life with cookies. You can't buy a car with cookies. Am I right, Jim? 

Jim: Ah, that's true, sir, You can't. 

*After Edward gave a piece of meat to the dalmatian, he gives another to Kim's friend*

Suzanne: I can't eat that. He used his hands. I don't think it's sanitary.

*Edward passes the piece to Kim but drops it in her lap by mistake*

Edward: I'm sorry. *He apologized. Jim chuckled quietly at that. Perdita glared at him*

Peg: Honey, you want me to help you clean that up? 

Kim: No, that's okay, I'll be right back. 

*Edward looks down, feeling ashamed. Perdita gently place her paw on his wrist comforting him*
