• Morticia Addams : [Morticia has broken a mirror by throwing a boomerang]  Wonderful! Seven more years of lovely luck.

• Morticia Addams : Pugsley! You don't mean to say you were looking for a position in a... racing parlor?

  Pugsley Addams : I thought it was a funeral parlor. That's what it said on the window.

  Bennie : Eh... that's just to fool the local fuzz. If they ever find out what I'm doing, it'll be my funeral.

• Gomez Addams : Pugsley, we have come to a decision.

  Morticia Addams : We've decided no matter how bizarre it may seem, we're going to let you go to work.

  Pugsley Addams : Whoopee!

  Morticia Addams : Now Pugsley, you've been taught to watch your language.

• Gomez Addams : Surely you don't object to the lad seeking honest employment.

  Dr. Bird : Oh, no, not at all. What I object to is him coming right in in the middle of an appendectomy wielding a scalpel.

  Morticia Addams : I'm sure he was only trying to help.

  Gomez Addams : Don't you have an apprentice program like the plumbers and carpenters?

• Mr. Glenville : Mrs. Addams, it is not the policy of the First National Bank to start our trainees off in the vault. What bothers me is how he got in there in the first place.

  Morticia Addams : Well, I think I can explain that. He dug a tunnel.

  Mr. Glenville : A tunnel?

  Morticia Addams : Yes, he's always digging tunnels. Aren't you, Pugsley, darling?

  Pugsley Addams : I had to. You kept throwing me out of your office.

• Mr. Glenville : Your son's been pestering me for a job.

  Morticia Addams : That's hardly cause for violence.

  Mr. Glenville : The job he wanted was vice president.

  Gomez Addams : What's wrong with that?

  Mr. Glenville : I'm vice president!

• Morticia Addams : [referring to Pugsley and Wednesday]  Ah, trust an Addams to finish the job.

  Gomez Addams : Finish the job? They're the first Addames who've ever had one.
