Quotes 

• Lily Munster : [about Grandpa]  Last time we had a family spat, he turned himself into a frog and lived under the porch for weeks.

  Herman Munster : Yes, and I've never seen him happier. He could croak every night.

• Herman Munster : I'm the one who let him go, I'll go get him. And don't worry dear, I'll bring him back, dead or alive.

  Lily Munster : Oh Herman, you're always so optimistic.

• Herman Munster : Lily, I feel terribly conspicuous dressed the way we are for such a shabby place.

  Lily Munster : Well, let's hope it'll be nicer inside and not one of those beatnik joints. If there's anything I can't stand, its weird people.

• Lily Munster : [watching Grandpa's magic act]  His magic's been getting so rusty.

  Herman Munster : I know... The way he's been carrying on lately, he couldn't produce a rabbit on Easter Sunday.

• Eddie Munster : Mom! Dad! I found Grandpa in the newspaper.

  Lily Munster : Oh, not the obituaries again.

  Eddie Munster : No. His picture is in this ad. He's doing his magic act.

  Lily Munster : [reading the ad]  "Domino Nightclub presents 'The Count'." Oh dear, I hope he doesn't try that-that... oh that fire-eating trick of his.

  Herman Munster : I certainly hope not. The last time he tried it, he got the hiccups. And before they could stop him, he burnt down the theatre.
