Question: I've never quite understood why Edward damages the curtains and bathroom walls at the Boggs' house. After he tells Kim that he only helped with the robbery because she asked him to, and then Jim shows up. Kim tries to convince Jim to tell the truth, so why does Edward act that way?

Answer: He doesn't know what she's saying. He sees the girl he just opened his heart to immediately run off, apparently into the arms of another man. That's what made him angry. Remember, he's had no chance to learn the nuance of human interaction or how to control overwhelmingly hard feelings.

Plot hole: At the end of the film, we see Edward carving ice sculptures in his mansion. How did he get the ice up there? First of all, it takes place in a warm climate and I didn't see a freezer up there in the castle. He couldn't have gotten ice from town because firstly he had scissors for hands and couldn't have gripped the ice. And, even if by some miracle he could, he wouldn't be able to buy any from town because everyone in town but Kim was convinced that Edward was dead, she told everyone that they killed each other. And Kim didn't bring it to him because she told her granddaughter in the end that she never saw him again after that night. So where did he get that ice?

Answer: As the other response says, the number of years is never stated. Physically, I think he is supposed to look about twenty years old. Bill wants him to start a proper business. None of the adults seem to think that he should be in school.
