Officer Allen: Will he be OK, 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.
Peg Boggs: Darn this stuff!

Audience Member #3: But if you had regular hands you`d be like everyone else.
Edward: Yes, I know.
Host-TV: I think he`d like that.
Audience Member #4: Then no one would think you`re special. You wouldn`t be on TV or anything.

Bill: Yeah, it is shish-ka-bob. It`s a figure of speech, Ed.
Esmerelda: 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!
Esmerelda: 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.
Esmerelda: Don`t come near me!
