• [It's later in the day on the first day that Gomez and Morticia have met] 

  Gomez : Has anyone ever told you you have the softest brown eyes?

  Morticia : No. Besides, my eyes are blue.

  Gomez : No wonder no one ever told you.

• Morticia : [recalling the day she first met Gomez]  I'll never forget that day. The sun was shining, the birds were singing...

  Gomez : I knew we were in for trouble.

• Morticia : Uncle Fester, I'm madly in love with Gomez Addams but he's engaged to marry my sister, Ophelia. What should I do?

  Uncle Fester : Forget him. Anybody that'd marry your sister Ophelia must be a nut!

• Morticia : [upon receiving her anniversary gift from Gomez]  Oh, darling, it's beautiful, and my favorite color, too - black.

• Grandmama Addams : Gomez, why don't you and Ophelia take a walk in the garden?

  Gomez : Oh, it's too chilly out there.

  Granny Frump : Ophelia'll warm you up.

  Gomez : I better get my coat on.

  Ophelia Frump : A coat? In July? Well, it IS more becoming.

  Gomez : I just want to keep my bronchial tubes warm.

  Grandmama Addams : Yeah, you won't want a son-in-law with cold bronchial tubes, would ya?

• Gomez : Would you, uh, like to join us in the garden?

  Morticia : Could we dig some graves for my dolls?

  Gomez : I'd like to but, uh, afraid it would be too strenuous for me.

• Gomez : My favorite person in history is Ivan the Terrible.

  Morticia : Oh, he was sweet.

• Morticia : Sweet old Uncle Fester. He used to write an advice-to-the-lovelorn column. He'd still be doing it, too, if everybody hadn't started suing him.

• Morticia : Come on now, Cleopatra. Have some nice zebra burger.

• Ophelia Frump : Fair Gomez, is there anything you'd like to do?

  Gomez : Yes. Go into a coma.

  Ophelia Frump : [amused]  Ohh... Oh, he does have a delicious sense of humor. And he shall be rewarded.

  Gomez : You're going to leave?

  Ophelia Frump : Nonsense. I'm going to amuse thee, sire.
