  • Miss Carver: What kind of powder does your mommy use?
  • Wednesday Addams: Baking powder.
  • Miss Carver: I mean on her face.
  • Wednesday Addams: Baking powder. And Uncle Fester uses his spray-on preservative.
  • Miss Carver: Uh, no, you mean a spray-on deodorant.
  • Wednesday Addams: No, preservative.
  • Miss Carver: Oh, to keep young?
  • Wednesday Addams: Just to keep.
  • Miss Carver: [with utmost professional charm] And don't tell me, that gentleman behind you is Uncle Fester. I know from the description I've received.
  • Uncle Fester: [dreading a forced marriage] You can't force me!
  • Miss Carver: Oh, I never use force, just gentle persuasion. And sometimes in difficult cases I merely give a free sample and leave the prospect to think it over.
  • Morticia Addams: Miss Carver! We don't countenance such behavior in this house.
  • Miss Carver: Well, then I'll be happy to accept cash.
  • Miss Carver: Let me show you something exotic for the boudoir.
  • Uncle Fester: [shouting] Don't you dare!
