Well, what do they look like?
Oh, just ordinary moving men.
One's tall.
One's stealing.
No darling, I mean the new neighbours.
I haven't seen them yet.
But I hear they're newlyweds.
How wonderful~
Gomez.
Remember the first night we spent as husband and wife in this lovely house?
The creaking floorboards,
the blood curling screams.
At first we thought it was haunted.
Oh well. You can't have everything.
Oh, I hope our new neighbours like the cookies we sent over.
Yeppy-yay, may I help you? I'm Pugsley Addams, and this is Wednesday.
I'm Pugsley Addams. And this is Wednesday.
We live next door.
Mother wants to welcome you to the neighborhood.
Isn't that sweet?
Thank you.
I'm Hubert, and this is my wife, Amanda.
We just got married this morning at the county courthouse.
When burying your spouse,
it's best not to use a shallow grave,
as the leakage could kill your geraniums.
Yes, uh.
It was nice meeting you.
Yes. Welcome.
Thank you.
Hey, these aren't bad!
Ahhhhhhhhh...!
Now!
Did anybody see my landmines?
I want to get 'em planted while the ground's still soft.
Ask Pugsley, he might know.
There it goes again!
Coming from that awful house next door.
I'm gonna go see what's happening.
Good idea, honey.
Hubert?
I'll... go with you.
Come on!
Down you go!
Oh look, darling. It's our new neighbours.
You must be the Petersons.
I'm Gomez Addams.
This is my wife Morticia.
So nice to meet you.
Ah!
You do that again and I'll...
He came to ask you about, the...
Ah!
explosions.
Oh, that's just Fester playing with his landmines.
So, you're washing your pup... ?
Good heavens, that's not a pup.
That's Mama.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
I have seen enough.
Let's go.
Yes, well. Nice meeting you both, the three of you.
Hubert!
Coming, dear!
Why did they run away like that?
What can I say?
Some people are just weird.
Come, querida.
Let's get the acid ready for Fester's bath.
Thank you, Thing.
Hubert, you're not listening to me.
I am not staying here!
But, uh, honey, this place is a fantastic deal.
What was that?
Came from over there.
Howdy!
I'm Uncle Fester from next door.
he's a bomb freak. He's going to blow us up!
I just came by to say hel...
Hello?
Where are you going?
Out!
But it's our honeymoon.
Well, enjoy it!
Oh!
Mr. Wentworth, thank goodness you're here.
With your signed lease, as promised.
This happy honeymoon cottage is all yours for a full year.
Correction. All his.
Mr. Wentworth, we would like out of our lease.
Oh, I don't think that's possible.
Well, I'd like to talk to the owner.
Alright. He lives next door. His name is Addams.
But I warn you, he has never let anyone out of a contract.
Mm-mn.
But let me see what I can do.
I must say those lumps are rather becoming.
What did they hit you with, Fester?
I think it was a frying pan.
Amateurs.
They must have frightened 'em coming through Pugsley's tunnel!
Next time, knock.
I did.
I say we get rid of them.
Now you're talkin'.
Haha!
I haven't used this baby since the tax man was here.
Mama.
Fester.
There will be no frightening the new neighbours with hatches.
Understood?
Understood.
Thank you.
I say we poison them.
Good idea.
Let's see what I've got left over from the bake sale.
Mindnumbing pain.
Spine crushing torment.
Cranium splitting agony.
So long.
I'll miss you.
Hm?
So I got carried away.
Morticia, you remember our real estate agent, Mr. Wentworth?
Of course, so nice to see you again.
And it's always such a shock thrill to see you, Mrs. Addams.
Wentworth?
I bet I know why you're here.
Your commission cheque for the Peterson lease.
I hope you don't mind,
but I paid the whole year up front.
About these new tenants.
Are they happy in their new home?
Yes, they love it.
They love love love...
Really?
Because I don't mind letting them out of their lease if they're having second thoughts.
Oh, no, no.
They're just a little... uptight.
You know, a new marriage, a new town.
No friends.
Well then, we'll just have to invite them over for cocktails.
You rang?
Lurch, will you please go over to the Petersons and invite them over tonight?
And Lurch.
Don't spare any of your charm~
Don't be surprised if they can't make it.
I mean, it is their wedding night.
Oh, they'll be here.
Lurch has a way with strangers.
It's a wonder he isn't married.
Come, join us in the Conservatory for some tea.
Uhh.
Mrs. Addams?
Mr. Addams?
Oh, look, Pugsley.
Someone new to play with.
We're all set.
Lurch is rolling out the black carpet for the new neighbours right now.
I do hope everything goes well tonight.
How could it not?
You're such a perfect hostess.
Besides, if all else fails, you can always do your animal imitations.
Do them now, Tish.
Oh, darling.
Please.
Very well.
No.
The bullfrog, Tish.
That bullfrog drives me wild.
Let's not have company over here.
Ma chérie.
I, I feel like honeymooning myself tonight.
Darling, you're impetuous.
Guests, first.
Bullfrogs, later.
Ready?
Aim!
Fire!
A little late for Fester to be playing with his dynamite caps.
That's not dynamite?
That's gunfire.
I hope everything's all right.
Hee hee!
Mama, I think we're finally ready to greet our new neighbours.
We sure are.
Fester, Mama.
What's going on here?
Nothing.
Still a little angry with the Petersons, I see.
If you're going to invite those barbarians
over here, we're gonna be ready for them.
Now, remember what we said about scaring the neighbours.
I want you both to promise you'll behave this evening.
I know, I promise...
Promise.
That's better.
We don't want to let the Petersons down.
I'm sure they're looking forward to their visit here.
Forget it.
I'm not stepping one foot into that haunted house.
But, dear, Mr. Wentworth says they won't let us out of our lease.
Our only chance is for us to butter him up.
No.
No!
Hubert...
It will be okay.
Okay.
Ahh!
Ah, Miranda?
Now, just remember.
Let me do the talking.
You do the talking?
All you have to do is be pleasant.
Be pleasant.
And...
Ahh! I'm already in quicksand.
I'm not going in there!
Hello, hello!
Welcome, honeymooners.
Now, now, take that hand away.
It's much nicer when you can hear the screaming.
Oh.
Hubert, put me down! We're getting out of here.
Isn't that sweet?
Carrying her over yet another threshold.
Hubert!
My, what a beautiful room!
How sweet of you to say so.
What an unusual decoration.
Seems to tell a story.
A sick story.
You're the first one to really appreciate it.
It's yours.
Oh, now I couldn't.
We insist.
That warthog.
It looks so real... !
Look, Gomez.
They've bonded.
Say no more.
He's yours, too.
Please take a glass.
Cocktails, anyone?
Yes, please.
My.
Steaming.
Of course.
It's a volatile cocktail.
Amanda?
Come.
Let's join her in the den.
Don't misunderstand, Mr. Addams.
We like our house.
Very much.
Then why do you want to move out?
Is the rent too high 'cause I can lower it?
What would you like to pay?
Well, it.
It's not that, it's just that...
Well, Amanda has a... condition.
Yes! A condition.
A bad condition.
You see, I'm on, medication!
See those guys?
They forgot to wear their seat belts.
As I was saying, Amanda is not well and she needs to live near a doctor.
Why didn't you say so?
Problem solved.
Mama's a doctor.
I sure am.
What's your problem, dear?
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
I forgot.
I'm cured.
I'm cured!
Mama has that effect on people.
Ah, here's Fester with his cannon.
Hello?
Do you mind if I smoke?
Not at all.
Where's that smoke coming from?
Climb inside. I'll pack ya in!
No!
Why not?
It'll be a blast.
Amanda!
What have you done with h...
Wh-where did she go?
Oh, I'm sure she's knocking about somewhere.
I hope she visits the garden.
I just finished planning my landmines.
Amanda!
Don't worry!
I'll find you!
Amanda!
Come.
Let's join them in the foyer.
Amanda... !
Hubert?
Amanda!
Oh, Hubert... !
Amanda... !
Hubert, oh!
Let's get out of here.
Oh no, they sent him to kill us!
You forgot your purse.
I can't understand them running out that way.
We couldn't have been friendlier.
Why, Fester even broke out his cannon.
I don't know anyone who doesn't like Fester's cannon.
I just can't figure it out.
Thing, care for a cigar?
Oh, sorry.
I forgot.
You don't smoke.
Was that it, Gomez?
Was it impolite of me to smoke?
Querida mia.
Of course not!
Maybe they just wanted to be alone.
It was their wedding night.
Of course!
And we didn't even get them a wedding present.
Let's make it up to those poor dears, first thing tomorrow.
You two are nuts.
Nuts.
Giving these people wedding gifts after they ran out.
And quality ones, too!
The Petersons may have bad manners,
but they're still our neighbours.
Besides, have you seen their home?
They can't afford the finer things in life here.
Fine, Aunt Flemish! Stay if you want to.
If Cousin Farouk could talk,
he'd give you a mouthful.
Darling, do you think Farouq would mind that we're giving him away?
Of course not!
You know he always enjoyed meeting new people.
I'm not standing around here watching this any longer.
If you want me,
I'll be out back feeding the bats.
Fester?
Still, you've got to admire him for stealing.
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Addams.
Hang up.
Hang up right now!
That's very kind of you, but we couldn't.
No, really.
Okay, goodbye.
They want to bring us a wedding present.
You, you told them no, right?
They'll just be a few minutes.
Listen to me, Hubert!
Those people are not stepping one foot in this house.
Geez!
No!
But!
No!
But!
NO!
So, what do you think?
Love it.
It's just great.
It's great.
And that's not all.
It's not great... !
You wimp... !
Amanda.
Hubert, I am through with these games.
Tell them the truth. We want out of here!
Hold on.
I've got an idea.
These'll look perfect over here.
Mr. Addams.
I'd like to talk to you.
Certainly!
Go right ahead.
Well, I just got a wire from my company
and I'm being transferred to...
Hong Kong.
Say no more.
I understand and we'll take care of it.
Would you?
After all, Peterson.
What are neighbours for?
The dear Petersons.
I do hope they're feeling better today.
They're bound to, after I tell 'em the good news!
Ah, here they are now.
Come in, come in~
I have capital news for you, old boy.
Oh, you mean we're free to move away?
Au contraire.
You're free to stay.
What?
I bought your company and you don't have to go to Hong Kong.
You can stay and be our neighbours forever.
You are history.
Honey, come back.
No way!
I've had enough.
Tish, I'm getting the feeling that the Petersons are not a very good couple.
Absolutely not!
Amanda...
Ah, I stand corrected.
Awooo~!
You should just leave these here.
But, honey, what if it gets stolen?
Alright.
It might rain. We'd better leave them at the door.
Hello.
Oh, that's odd.
Could've sworn I heard something.
Why, someone left presents.
Really?
It's not Halloween, is it?
Hmm.
Hey.
This is one of the gifts we gave the Petersons.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Addams, thank you for your kind gifts,
but we have joined the Witness Protection Program.
And they only allow us to take along a few things.
Yours truly, Amanda and Hubert Peterson.
I can't believe it.
Darling, do you realize the Petersons are the seventh neighbours we've had
who've joined the Witness Protection Program?
Living a life of lies?
Looking over your shoulder everywhere you go?
We must be doing something right.
Mother, why'd the Petersons return all the gifts you gave them?
I guess when they stole away into the night,
they overlooked a few things.
Paper, rock, scissors.
Cattle prod.
I win.
Tish?
Do the bullfrog for me?
Please?
It's our turn to honeymoon now.
Awooo... !
