Gomez : [Playing with the train set, ranting about Fester's finger-trap] "How do you take it off?" That's absurd! That finger-trap was a party favor at his 10th birthday!
Morticia : [In the room below, Morticia is reading a bedtime story to Wednesday and Pugsley. She looks up at the noise] Oh, no.
Pugsley : Father's playing with his trains.
Gomez : He wore that finger-trap for two years! Mother had to teach him to eat with his feet! And the combination! AND the password! And my cigar! And he slept so well!

[as the trains approach each other]
Gomez : Spirits above me... Give me a sign! Shall I be joyous? Or shall I be damned?
