Quotes 

• Morticia Addams : [joining Gomez at the window]  Well, what do they look like?

  Gomez Addams : Oh, just ordinary moving men. One's tall; one's medium.

  Morticia Addams : No, darling, I mean the new neighbors.

  Gomez Addams : Oh. I haven't seen them yet.

• Amanda Peterson : [learning of Fester's hobby]  You mean there's somebody exploding dynamite--inside your house?

  Morticia Addams : Where else would he do it?

• Morticia Addams : Oh, I do hope the new neighbors will like the house. Do you think they will?

  Gomez Addams : How can they help it?

  Morticia Addams : It is nice and dismal, isn't it?

  Gomez Addams : Don't be modest, my dear--it's absolutely bleak.

• Lurch : You rang?

  Morticia Addams : Lurch, go over to the Petersons' and invite them over for bridge tonight. And Lurch, use the front door, not Pugsley's tunnel.

  Lurch : Yes, Mrs. Addams.

• Hubert Peterson : Well...

  [nervous laughter] 

  Hubert Peterson : ... I see you're washing your pup, heh.

  Morticia Addams : Oh, good heavens, that isn't a pup.

  Gomez Addams : It's an octopus!

  Amanda Peterson : You have an octopus for a pet?

  Morticia Addams : Oh no. It's our son's pet.

  Gomez Addams : Here, shake his tentacle.

  Amanda Peterson : Take it away!

  Morticia Addams : Darling, dry it first.

  Gomez Addams : Oh, I'm sorry, excuse me. There we are...

  Morticia Addams : He's really very friendly.

• Gomez Addams : [after Morticia impersonates a bullfrog at his request]  That bullfrog, it drives me wild!

  [begins kissing her hand] 

  Gomez Addams : Let's not play cards tonight, Tish. I feel like honeymooning myself tonight.

  Morticia Addams : Darling, you're so impetuous. Bridge first, bullfrog later.

• Morticia Addams : Oh, Gomez, we've been very selfish. After all, they're newlyweds. I should've been over there a long time ago with a pot of henbane soup, some of my dwarf's-hair cobbler, and marital advice.

  Gomez Addams : Let's go over right now.

  Morticia Addams : No, darling, I have a better idea. Let's invite them over tonight for a game of bridge.

  Gomez Addams : You think they'll want to play bridge on their wedding night?

  Morticia Addams : Of course. It'll relax them.
