Act 1: Scene 5 Flashcards
Go: Allow me to present my wife, la duena, mother of my children, el amor de mi vida… the love of my life- Morticia
Sorry I’m late. I was putting the apple pie on the window sill to cool.
Go: That’s my little woman. A duchess in the parlor and a genius in the kitchen.
Oh, Gomez!
Go: And a gymnast in the bedroom. ( Morticia elbows Gomez and extends her hand to Mal)
So very pleased. Mr. Beineke…
Mal: Mrs. Addams-
Mrs. Beinekle…
Ali: Alice.
Alice. And you must be Lucas. What a lovely name.
Mal: They don’t need to know that!
No, no. It’s a beautiful story. (then) Wednesday has a cousin who swallowed his tongue. Hes tolk lak dis… “Hello, how are you?”
Wed: Hi, I’m Wednesday.
What are you wearing?
Wed: A dress
A yellow dress.
Go: Poloma, what happened? You look like a crime scene.
(to the Beinekes) Will you excuse us for a moment. (To Wednesday) I won’t have that color in my house.
Wed: I’m just being normal, ok?
Darling, we won’t wear bright colours. Bright colours are for people with no inner life and no imagination. (Alice’s coat is removed. She too is wears a bright yellow dress.) Oh Look. it’s everywhere.
Go: And now for a welcoming toast from the extensive Addams caves!
Children, you’re excused.
Go: We used to, but we let them all go. Woo!
Gomez. (to Alice) Come with me, dear. I’ll show you.
Go: Morticia, a grand tour for the missus. And the mister and I will go below for some “guy stuff.” Then, dinner-
And after dinner- The Game!
Ali: Did you get the flowers?
Oh yes. And the lovely poem. Wherever did you find it?
Ali: I wrote it.
No!
