The door opens and Wednesday peeks inside...

WEDNESDAY:

Uncle Fester?

She hears the water running in Fester's bathroom, thesound of voices beneath it.

INSIDE THE BATHROOM -

Fester turns off the water. The pipes make a final clang,

then there's silence.

FESTER:

Yes, Mother, I understand. I hear

you.

ABIGAIL:

I hope so, Gordon. I'm counting

on you. Don't buckle.

FESTER:

It's not going to be easy. There

are people everywhere.

ABIGAIL:

You can do it, if you just stopwhining. No one likes that, it's

unattractive.

FESTER:

All right, fine. I will try andreach the vault tonight. But if

I can't, well...

(screwing up hiscourage)

Then that's it. Okay, Mother?

Wednesday stands frozen in the doorway.

WEDNESDAY:

You are a fake! I knew it!

Abigail and Fester wheel around on her. The straightrazor catches the light and GLINTS MENACINGLY.

ABIGAIL:

Come here, little vun. Ve von't

hurt you.

Fester can't believe this is happening. He is genuinelytorn and it shows.

FESTER:

Wednesday!

Abigail's facade disintegrates and she bellows.

ABIGAIL:

Wednesday throws open a TRAPDOOR IN THE FLOOR and

DISAPPEARS DOWN IT, pulling the door closed behind her.

FLORA:

FAUNA:

MORTICIA:

Flora, Fauna, how can I compete?

You're twice the woman I am.

Gomez grabs Tully, who is striding by in search ofMargaret.

Morticia watches as Granny garnishes a ROAST PIG set onsilver tray. It is beautifully glazed, deliciously plumpand has an apple in its mouth.

Granny turns the roast pig slightly to arrange thegarnish and reveals its SECOND HEAD. This one too has an

apple in its mouth.

the tray onto a serving cart, and rolls the cart out.

Fester was back...

FAUNA:

Especially considering...

FLORA:

(rolls her eyesheavenward)

Fauna...

TULLY:

Especially considering what?

FLORA:

It makes no difference now. It's

obvious that Fester and Gomez are

She takes him by the hand as if to lead him toward theassembled guests - but instead ABRUPTLY SPINS HIM BYTHE ARM, sending him whirling like a top into the

CENTER OF THE DANCE FLOOR

where he suddenly STOPS, NOSE-TO-NOSE WITH GOMEZ. Gomez

has changed clothes -- he's dressed now like a HollywoodCossack. He carries FIVE GLEAMING SCIMITARS.

Morticia, Granny, and all the Addams women rap out astirring martial beat on tambourines.

GOMEZ:

The Mamushka!

Gomez begins to CIRCLE around Fester.

The other family members form a ring, CIRCLING COUNTERCLOCKWISE

to Gomez.

Gomez then throws the scimitars straight up, high intothe air, and begins juggling them.

Baffled, Fester stands in the center, the eye of thisdizzying hurricane.
