The man was left by himself, incomplete and all alone.

OLD KIM: Snuggle in, sweetie. It's cold out there.

GRANDDAUGHTER: Why is it snowing, grandma? Where does it come from?

OLD KIM: Oh, that's a long story, sweetheart.

GRANDDAUGHTER: I want to hear.

OLD KIM: Oh, not tonight. Go to sleep.

GRANDDAUGHTER: I'm not sleepy. Tell me, please.

OLD KIM: Well, all right. Let's see. I guess it would have to start with scissors.

GRANDDAUGHTER: Scissors?

OLD KIM: Well, there are all kinds of scissors. And once there was even a man who had scissors for hands.

GRANDDAUGHTER: A man?

OLD KIM: Yes.

GRANDDAUGHTER: Hands, scissors?

OLD KIM: No, scissorhands. You know the mansion on top of the mountain?

GRANDDAUGHTER: It's haunted.

OLD KIM: Well, a long time ago, an inventor lived in that mansion. He made many things, I suppose. He also created a man. He gave him inside, a heart, a brain, everything. Well, almost everything. You see, the inventor was very old. He died before he got to finish the man he invented. So the man was left by himself, incomplete and all alone.

GRANDDAUGHTER: He didn't have a name?

OLD KIM: Of course, he had a name. His name was Edward.

Edward Scissorhands (1990) by Tim Burton
