Line 76:
** Kim's friend at dinner who won't accept the roast because Edward "...used his hands. I don't think it's sanitary." She's got a point - his clippers have trimmed bushes and hair and are only cleaned with oil out of the garage. No one else at the table seems to mind.
* [[Pinocchio Syndrome]]: Edward's odd hands mean he is unable to touch others physically, which becomes a problem when he falls for Kim. The film suggests there are ways he could gain ordinary hands, but that never comes to pass. Ultimately, it matters more to him that she understands and reciprocates his love.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Johnny Depp -- then best known for ''21 Jump Street'' -- as Edward, and the usually nerdy Anthony Michael Hall as Jim.
** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Which is kind of funny,]] since Depp's close involvement with Burton over recent years has made him famous for this type of role as well.
* [[Please Wake Up]]: Edward tells Peg, when asked about his father, "He didn't wake up."
* [[The Quiet One]]: Edward only speaks 169 words throughout the entire film!
