Gomez : Well, I guess Wednesday's really gone.
Morticia : Someday, when she's slaving away in a tuna cannery, she may remember the life of ease she had in this lovely home.
Gomez : Raggéd, penniless, her little fingers bleeding from the tuna cans, she may return and say she's sorry.
Morticia : And when that happens, we'll take her back - if we have room.
Wednesday Addams : [hiding and listening] If they have room?
Gomez : Come, my dear, let's go down and remove her pictures from the family album.

Uncle Fester : She's been shooting off all of my dynamite caps.
Morticia : [to Wednesday] Darling, you have dynamite caps of your own.
Wednesday Addams : But they're not any fun. They just go "poop."
Gomez : At your age, a little "poop" ought to be enough.

Morticia : Uncle Fester, this is not a fun matter. That child has got to be taught to play with her own explosives.
