• Morticia Addams : Tea?

  [the Henson's politely but unsteadily nod to the affirmative] 

  Morticia Addams : Salt, pepper or cyanide?

  Mr. Henson : Neither.

• Mr. Henson : Uh, well, Addams, I-I must say you're taking this eviction like a good sport.

  Gomez Addams : Well, nobody can say that an Addams stood in the way of progress, although I must admit Uncle Fester is a bit upset.

  Morticia Addams : Yes, you see, there are no caves or swamps on our new property.

  Gomez Addams : But we do have plans for building our own - that is, if our neighbors don't object.

  Mr. Henson : Well, any man who would object to having a swamp right next to his home is a petty individual, indeed.

  Gomez Addams : Glad to hear you say that, Commissioner. We love animals and we're planning a mud wallow for our hippopotamus.

  Phoebe Henson : Arthur and I just adore animals, too.

  Gomez Addams : [warmly and vigorously shakes Henson's hand]  Neighbor!

  Mr. Henson : No, no... d'I... I mean, you're not gonna move in next to... to... t...

  Phoebe Henson : To us?

  Gomez Addams : Right smack!

  [the Henson's, with apparently nothing to lose, hurriedly guzzle down their cups of silverware-dissolving wolfsbane tea]
