Morticia Addams : Now, what would you like to knit first?
Lurch : A harpsichord...

Morticia Addams : So you see, Lurch, in as much as you love the harpsichord so, the real public benefactors wouldn't be us, it would be you.
Gomez Addams : We even instruct the museum, Lurch, to name you as donor.
Morticia Addams : What do you say to that?
Lurch : I quit.
Gomez Addams : No, Lurch... Lurch, y-you can't quit. Y-you're like one of the family.
Morticia Addams : Oh, think of all those glorious, happy years we've spent together. Think of the children. Think of Mama and Uncle Fester.
[Lurch thinks for a moment]
Lurch : I quit.
-
Morticia Addams : [near tears as Lurch exits dejectedly] Oh, Gomez, I think we've wounded him beyond repair.
Gomez Addams : Cara mia, it's your imagination.
Lurch : [from another part of the house] Ohhhhhhhhhhh.
Gomez Addams : What's that?
Morticia Addams : My imagination.

[Two moving men enter, but are frightened by Lurch's appearance]
Lurch : You wanted something?
1st Moving Man : No, uh, I mean yes. Just the harpsichord.
2nd Moving Man : We were supposed to p-pick it up tomorrow...
1st Moving Man : ...but, uh, as long as we were in the neighborhood...
2nd Moving Man : ...we thought we'd get it today.
1st Moving Man : But we can come back tomorrow.
2nd Moving Man : Yeah, we can send somebody else tomorrow.
Lurch : [disbelievingly] You want my harpsichord?
1st Moving Man : No, we don't want it. Mr. Belmont wants it.
2nd Moving Man : For the museum.
Lurch : [angry] But it's mine!
1st Moving Man : S-sure... sure... But... we have a... a pick-up order.
[the 1st Moving Man ever so cautiously hands the order over to Lurch]
Lurch : [crumpling the work order] Betrayed!
1st Moving Man : Uh, not by us. Look, uh, maybe we're in the wrong place altogether.
2nd Moving Man : Yeah, the wrong place.
[the frightened men are more than ready to get out of there]
Lurch : [decisively] Stop! Take it.
1st Moving Man : Really?
Lurch : [furious] Take it!

[Espying Lurch heading toward the door with his packed carpet bag]
Gomez Addams : Lurch, where are you going?
Uncle Fester : What's that in your hand?
Morticia Addams : Where are you going?
Gomez Addams : Answer the third question first.
Morticia Addams : What? Uh, yes, where are you going?
Lurch : Home, to Mama.
Morticia Addams : Nonsense!
Uncle Fester : Easy, Lurch. You'll lose your pension rights.
Lurch : Nobody cares about me.
Gomez Addams : Of course we care about you, Lurch.
Morticia Addams : We all love you, Lurch.
Uncle Fester : Oh, now, let's not get sick'ning. I like ya, Lurch, but I don't love ya.
