Morticia Addams : The poor darlings... they were even too proud to accept our lovely gift.
[pets Delilah the stuffed vulture]
Gomez Addams : That must really have broken their hearts.
[snaps his fingers]
Gomez Addams : Lets send it over to their home, we'll have Lurch deliver it.
Uncle Fester : [Uncle Fester overhears as he walks up to them] Hey, wait a minute! Why don't you ask me?
Gomez Addams : Excellent idea, Fester, you deliver it!
Uncle Fester : No, I meant: ask me wether I happen to want it.
Morticia Addams : Why of course you do.
Uncle Fester : Hm-hm!
[Fester extends his hand to grab Delilah, but Morticia stops him]
Morticia Addams : But that's the only kind of gift that's worth giving: something that means something to you.

Gomez Addams : Morticia, you have impeccable taste.
Morticia Addams : Well, of course. I married you, didn't I?

[door bell rings]
Morticia Addams : Oh, that must be the Digbys.
Gomez Addams : I'm almost afraid to let them see the house. It might discourage them.
Morticia Addams : Darling, they're just going to have to be realistic. After all, when we first moved in here, this house was bleak and gloomy. Not everyone can start with that advantage.

Morticia Addams : Now, dear, I have some wonderful ideas for your new house. And a most unusual color scheme.
Eleanor Digby : Oh?
Morticia Addams : We'll start with the carpet - black.
Eleanor Digby : Black?
Morticia Addams : Pitch.
Eleanor Digby : Perhaps as a base. I suppose the curtains...
Morticia Addams : Black.
Eleanor Digby : What about the wallpaper?
Morticia Addams : Black!
Eleanor Digby : And the furniture coverings? Black?
Morticia Addams : No!
Eleanor Digby : [relieved] Ohh...
Morticia Addams : Off-black. You must have some contrast, you know.

Morticia Addams : Gomez, darling, I've had a new inspiration for the Digby house.
Gomez Addams : Ah, those lucky devils! What is it this time?
Morticia Addams : I want to bring the garden right into the living room.
Gomez Addams : Glass walls, eh?
Morticia Addams : No, dirt floor.

Morticia Addams : Does it strike you as odd that nobody has been inside my model home? They just glance in the door and walk on.
Gomez Addams : Ah, the house is obviously too far ahead of its time. Frank Lloyd Wright had the same problem.
