• Morticia Addams : Mail's in.

  Gomez Addams : [kissing her arm, not wanting to stop]  We've got all we need.

• Grandmama : But what I need is the eye of a critic.

  Gomez Addams : A critic?

  Grandmama : Yes, someone who'd give an unbiased opinion of my work.

  Gomez Addams : If you don't believe me, you could ask Uncle Fester.

  Grandmama : Oh well, he's sweet, but he has an axe to grind.

  Gomez Addams : Well that's just for recreation.

• Gomez Addams : If this isn't Pablo Picasso, then we've discovered a great new talent!

  Bosley Swain : Oh, come now. I'll admit he showed promise as a young man, but he hasn't painted anything but, but wallpaper in years now.

  Gomez Addams : Some day that wallpaper will be worth a fortune.

• Uncle Fester : Lurch told me you had Paris on the line. Could you switch me over to the Folies Bergère? I'd like to talk to my French pen pal.

  Gomez Addams : I thought Yvonne lived in a convent?

  Uncle Fester : No, she moved.

  Grandmama : You don't talk to pen pals, you write to them.

  Uncle Fester : Darn.

• Morticia Addams : [being introduced to 'The Great Picasso']  You know it's strange, I was under the impression that you were short and round and bald...

  Gomez Addams : Darling, he's short and round. You can't have everything.
