Morticia sees Wednesday coming down the stair case

MORTICIA

Wednesday... this was not what I expected?

WEDNESDAY

Do I look good?

MORTICIA

Yes always. But what happened to the dress I got you?

Wednesday gestures behind her to Enid

MORTICIA

Oh I see...

She calls up to Enid, who is struggling to master the steps in a ball gown

MORTICIA

You look stunning Enid!

Enid smiles. Thing grabs her dress and pulls it tight, lifting it slightly down every step

ENID

Thank you Mrs Addams. You've changed it up I see! I love the new necklace that you've worn with your long black sleek number

She eyes Wednesday who's trying to hold in a smile

MORTICIA

Never change something that isn't broken Enid

They reach the bottom of the stairs and Enid grabs Wednesdays arm and hooks her arm through it

ENID

Time to go meet the in-laws

They walk into the ballroom and it is filled with a menagerie of people. Enid shallows but Wednesday gives her arm a squeeze and they walk forwards

WEDNESDAY

Let's start easy, I know you haven't officially met my Uncle... but he's the best Addams you'll ever meet

ENID

I doubt that

FESTER

Wednesday! Looking mighty dapper sir!

He tips his imaginary hat at Wednesday

WEDNESDAY

Fester, this is my date Enid

FESTER

Ah yes Enid. We haven't officially met but I was hiding in your room one time. Behind your bed, under your stuffed animals... good times

Enid has a concerned face but Fester puts his hand out which Enid takes. She immediately gets an electric shock and her body naturally reacts by extending her claws

FESTER

HAHA! That's some trick you got there! Ever stabbed Wednesday with those?

ENID

No

FESTER

Step up your game Wednesday. Can't be out here dressed like a gentleman if you can't make your girl extend her claws

Enid looks horrified but Wednesday smiles at him

WEDNESDAY

Fester... and where is your date?

FESTER

A great question! I put her somewhere and now I can't find her

ENID

What do your mean "put her somewhere"

FESTER

She's not really able to move around much on account of being a little... not bodied

ENID

Do you mean she's not able bodied?

FESTER

No she's very able she just doesn't have a body

Enid's face drops and she quickly finds Wednesdays eye. Wednesday is still smiling

WEDNESDAY

So if I see a lost looking head I'll send her your way

FESTER

Please do! Catch you later Wednesday... Enid...

He does a little bow and walks off with a smile on his face. Enid turns to Wednesday

ENID

If she's just a head... how is she able?

Fester calls from across the room

FESTER

Every holes a goal Enid!!

Enid raises an eyebrow and glances at Wednesdays smiling face

ENID

I can see why he's your favourite. He's more unhinged than you are

A tall ghost like looking man pushes through the crowd

UNCLE SVENGHOULI

Dearest Wednesday! What has it been 5 years?! You haven't grown at all!

He pulls her in for a hug. He can't see Wednesdays face of disgust but Enid can, she stifles a laugh

UNCLE SVENGHOULI

And who's this lovely lady?

WEDNESDAY

This is my date, Enid

UNCLE SVENGHOULI

How wonderful! How did you two meet?

Enid looks at Wednesday who gives her a knowing nod, Enid smiles

ENID

We met in prison
