Quotes 

• Arthur J. Henson : [on the phone]  Excelso? Henson. Put me on the hot line - this is a red alert. Hello, chief? I want to report a big swindle. Two million dollars. Addams, Gomez. That's right, two D's. H-how did you know? He is? He does? We do? You are? I am? I see.

  [Henson sadly passes the phone to Gomez] 

  Gomez Addams : Addams here. I do? I am? I can? I will.

• Arthur J. Henson : Now get this through your thick head, Addams: We're not paying you one more cent, and that is final!

  Gomez Addams : Come come, Henson, you don't really expect me to jump at your first offer.

• [Gomez is out sky diving; Morticia explains] 

  Morticia Addams : You see, he has this theory - I'm not quite sure that I understand it - but he hopes to prove that if a jumper jumps, using a smaller chute each time, eventually he'll need no chute at all.

  Arthur J. Henson : Well, how far along is he?

  Morticia Addams : He said he'd have it figured one, one way or another, by the end of this week.

• Gomez Addams : You say "cancel the policy?" But why?

  Arthur J. Henson : Well, because the policy doesn't make sense. Things like this: double indemnity for flogging by a carnivorous plant, gunpowder burns, being bitten by an enraged rug.

  Gomez Addams : Ha-ha! Good old Fester. He gave me complete coverage.
