Scene 8
And this is Cousin Helga from Baden-Baden
ALICE: Who’s that looking over her shoulder?
Oh no. That’s her other head.
ALICE: She has two heads?
Well, you know what they say
(MORTICIA and ALICE share a laugh)
ALICE: And who’s that man in the dress?
Oh. That’s Aunt Herman. Wednesday’s uncle.
And here’s Gomez and me, at our wedding.
MORTICIA: Oh. That’s Aunt Herman. Wednesday’s uncle.
And here’s Gomez and me, at our wedding.
ALICE: What’s that?
Our wedding vows.
That’s so romantic. “We promise to tango at least three times a week,”
For passion.
“We promise to tell each other everything.”
For truth.
ALICE: Everything?
Of course.
ALICE: And you’re still married?
More than ever.
ALICE: Boy it sure doesn’t work that way in our house.
How does it work?
ALICE: Well what’s good for the gander is a nice quiet goose; if I told Mal my secrets, all heck would break loose.
Alice, I’m shocked. What kind of marriage is it where you keep secrets?
WEDNESDAY: We found each other. It’s kind of a miracle.
Gomez!
WEDNESDAY: Daddy, you promised after dinner.
What were the three of you whispering about?
GOMEZ: Come, Lucas. I should you the most. Did you ever see a rat as big as a dachshund?
LUCAS: No sir.
Gomez.
What’s going on?
Nothing. We were just talking.
That wasn’t talking, that was conspiring.
No, it was talking! Conspiring is-
That’s what you were doing!
Querida stop this foolishness.
You’re keeping something from me.
Querida, I have never kept anything from you, and may lightening strike me where I stand if I am keeping anything from you now.
That it should come to this.
Here, Cara. I have an urge to take you in my arms.
No Gomez
GOMEZ: Here, Cara. I have an urge to take you in my arms.
MORTICIA: No Gomez
GOMEZ: What?
Not today.
But you’ve never turned down a trip to heaven
Not today. I’ll be in my room waiting until you’re ready to share, like a proper husband.
… “Keep it pink in the middle, a little crispy on the outside”
Thank you dear. And now it’s time to play The Game.
GOME: Cara maybe the game is a bad idea.
WEDNESDAY: Thank you daddy
No it’s a good idea. And if it isn’t then somebody will be sleeping on the couch for a very long time.
ALICE: Oh! Spanish! What does it mean?
