Scenes with Grandmama

10 scenes
[first lines] [giving a funeral to a cat in a shoe-box]

Come, sorrow; we welcome thee. Let us join in grief, rejoice in despair, and honor the fortunate dead.

Grandmama

Dearly beloved...

[the cat mews and Wednesday shakes the box]

Shh! Quiet!
[Grandmama starts piling dirt on the box]

Children, why do you hate the baby?

We don't hate him. We just wanna play with him.

Especially his head.

Children, do you think we love the baby more than we love you?

[in unison with Pugsley]

Yes.

Do you think that when a new baby arrives, one of the other children has to die?

[in unison with Pugsley]

Yes.

Grandmama

Well, that's just not true. [She sighs wistfully] Not anymore.

Oh, just sibling rivalry! Gomez, do you remember what we were like? I hated you!

I despised you!

I choked him until he lost consciousness and had to be put on a respirator!

I tied him to a tree and pulled out four of his permanent teeth!

When he was asleep, I opened his skull, and removed his brains!

You did?

[laughs hysterically]

Ah, brother!

Brother! [He flings Uncle Fester into the opposite wall, then grabs up about twenty knives conveniently lying on the table, flinging them all around Fester, with several right next to his head. Fester laughs hysterically through it all, although the last four are done with Gomez's back to him]

Children, you see?

[at Debbie's house]

Where are we?

Grandmama

It looks familiar... Of course! The gates of hell.

Grandmama
[waving a skull at Debbie]

Luxor, nexor, burst, and BURN!

What is she doing?

Grandmama

Just a curse. Have a nice day. [She air kisses]

Grandmama
[in Pubert's now lighthearted nursery]

Stay back! He's very sick!

[Morticia and Gomez look over into his cradle to see a blond, rosy-cheeked, smiling baby]

My baby!
[Gomez faints]

Grandmama

Bingo! This kid knows somethings up, and unless Fester comes back, we're talking dimples.

Not in this house!

Grandmama

He could stay this way for years! Forever! He could become... a lawyer.

I won't listen!

Grandmama

An orthodontist!

Mama! Stop!

Grandmama

President!

[looking up above]

Please! I beg you! Take me! [He sobs openly]

My baby is ill, and my husband is dying. Oh, Mama, what shall I do?

Grandmama

Well, you have a black dress.

My first husband, the heart surgeon. All day long, coronaries, transplants.

Grandmama

What about your needs?

"Sorry about dinner, Deb. The Pope has a cold."

Grandmama
[The next slide shows a shadow of an axe on the wall heading towards the Surgeon]

An axe! That takes me back.

Husband number two. The senator. He loved his state, he loved his country!

Grandmama

What about Debbie?

"Sorry, Debbie, no Mercedes this year. We have to set an example." Oh yeah? Set this!
[The next slide shows the Senator, panicking as car headlights approach him]
