Q

On the other hand, she is a healthy young woman. Like you were. Are. Like you are. She could even fall in love and get married. Like you did.

A

Don’t be ridiculous Gomez. I’m much too young to have a married daughter

Yes but what if - and I have no reason to say this - what if she did meet someone who stole her heart?

I hope you’re not coming down with a case of Liars Shingles

24
Q

MORTICIA: I hope you’re not coming down with a case of Liars Shingles.
GOMEZ: No! No!

A

I think Wednesday and I should have a little chat

25
Q

AS IM PULLED IN A NEW DIRECTION!

A

I was right! It is the boy

26
Q

Yes, but I don’t think it’s such a big-

A

Puppy dogs? Disney world? She’s in no state to entertain guests. We have to cancel the dinner.

27
Q

MORTICIA: Puppy dogs? Disney world? She’s in no state to entertain guests. We have to cancel the dinner.
GOMEZ: No!

A

What?

28
Q

I mean we can’t do that

A

Why?

29
Q

Because then there won’t be a dinner.

A

Gomez - do you love your daughter? Do you care for her mental well-being?

30
Q

MORTICIA: Gomez - do you love your daughter? Do you care for her mental well-being?
GOMEZ: Of course-

A

Do you want her to be put on heavy medication and spend the rest of her days hating us because we let her ruin her life?

31
Q

THERE ARE FOUR THINGS

A

Gomez!
Would you stop that!

32
Q

I think we should have this dinner

A

Why?

33
Q

We need to introduce her to the world-

A

Are you out of your mind? Have you seen the world lately? Now stop prattling and go tell her the dinner is off.

34
Q

But cara-

A

You’re the father. The father is the canceller. And if after 25 years of marriage you can’t do this one thing for me, then I just don’t know what!

35
Q

WEDNESDAY: …Okay. And then they’ll want to see the house, and then at either, we’ll have dinner and they can be back at their hotel by nine thirty.

A

Wednesday, your father has something to tell you.

36
Q

GOMEZ: Maybe just a little dinner.
WEDNESDAY: Thank you, daddy!

A

Well, it seems I’ve been outvoted.
So dinner it is.
Drinks, dinner, and then, The Game.

37
Q

WEDNESDAY: What? Please no! Not the Game

A

But it’s a family tradition

38
Q

WEDNESDAY: It’s my dinner!

A

But it’s my house darling. Dinner, and the Game.

39
Q

GRANDMA: Define normal. (rat squeaks) Shhhh

A

Normal is an illusion darling. What’s normal for the spider is a calamity for the fly.

40
Q

Allow me to present my wife, la duena, mother of my children, el amor de mi vida… the love of my life - Morticia!

A

Sorry I’m late. I was putting the apple pie on the window sill to cool.

41
Q

That’s my little woman. A duchess in the parlor and a genius in the kitchen.

A

Oh Gomez!
So very pleased. Mr Beineke…

42
Q

MAL: Mrs. Addams

A

Mrs. Beineke…

43
Q

ALICE: Alice.

A

Alice. And you must be Lucas. What a lovely name.

44
Q

MAL: They don’t need to know that!

A

No, no. It’s a beautiful sorry.
Wednesday has a cousin who swallowed his tongue. He tolks lak dis… “Hello, how are you?”

45
Q

WEDNESDAY: Thank you mother. Hi, I’m Wednesday.

A

What are you wearing?

46
Q

WEDNESDAY: A dress

A

A yellow dress

47
Q

Paloma what happened? You look like a crime scene.

A

Will you excuse us for a moment?
I won’t have that colour in my house.

48
Q

I’m just being normal, ok?

A

Darling, we don’t wear bright colours. Bright colours are for people with no inner life and no imagination.

Oh look. It’s everywhere.

49
Q

And now for a welcoming toast from the extensive Addams caves!

A

Children, you’re excused

50
Q

ALICE: Excuse me. Do you have a little girls room?

A

Come with me dear. I’ll show you.

51
Q

Morticia, a grand tour for the missus. And the mister and I will go below for some ‘guy stuff’. Then dinner-

A

And after dinner - The Game!

52
Q

ALICE: Did you get the flowers?

A

Oh yes. And the lovely poem. Wherever did you find it?

53
Q

MORTICIA: Oh yes. And the lovely poem. Wherever did you find it?
ALICE: I wrote it.

A

No!

54
Q

“When I’m depressed or feeling blessed,
A poem will get it off my chest.
They come to me, they take no time,
They just pop out and always rhyme.”

A

Maybe you should see someone about that.

55
Q

And they’re always about the one thing everyone needs and so few have!

A

Health care?
