William has a strained relationship with Edward because his father has always told exaggerated stories about his life, and William thinks he's never really told the truth.

EDWARD:
I’ve travelled from Tennessee to Timbuktu, and if there’s one thingpeople have in common, is we could alluse a hand around the house.
Edward sets down a contraption, which looks something like ametal lava lamp. Like a flower, it unfolds to reveal fivefingers and a thumb. This is the Hand Around the House.(TM)
EDWARD:
Why, with this product you can... QUICK MONTAGE as he demonstrates:
EDWARD:
Open a jar. Open a letter. Scratch yourself while wearing mittens. Hold a book. Hold a baby. Hold the dog awayfrom kittens. It’s strong enough, youcan do a handstand with no hands at all.
Indeed, a remarkably agile Edward is able to support hisentire weight on it. The crowd APPLAUDS.
EDWARD:
You can use it to point out importantinformation. Or dangers. Or beautiful women.
The hand points a finger at an HEAVYSET MAN IN OVERALLS.
EDWARD:
We’re still working on that one.
The crowd LAUGHS.
EXT. A COUNTRY ROAD - DAY Edward drives, his hand out in the wind.
EDWARD (V.O.) Soon I added other products, and othercities, until my territory stretchedfrom the coast to western Texas.
EXT. TRAILER PARK - DAY Edward kisses his pregnant wife goodbye, as much in love as ever.

EDWARD (V.O.) I could be gone for weeks at a time.
But every other Friday, I’d put all themoney I’d made into an account setaside for a proper house with a whitepicket fence.
EXT. HORIZON SAVINGS & LOAN - DAY Establishing this Texas institution, we come... INT. HORIZON SAVINGS & LOAN - DAY The bank is busy with the lunch-hour crowd. Taking his placein line, Edward fills out a deposit slip.
As the line snakes around through the ropes, the man in frontof him gets a look at Edward.
THE MAN:
Edward? Edward Bloom?
The man is none other than... NORTHER WINSLOW: It’s me. Norther Winslow.
EDWARD (V.O.) I was astonished to see the greatestpoet of both Ashton and Spectre all theway out in Texas.
The men shake, disbelieving this lucky coincidence.
EDWARD (cont’d) I don’t believe it!
NORTHER WINSLOW: I want you to know, when you leftSpectre it opened my eyes. There was a whole life out there that I was not living. So I travelled. I saw France, and Africa, half of South America.
Every day a new adventure, that’s mymotto.
