Uncle Fester : From the twins! The beautiest, and adoring twins!
Dr. Pinderschloss : The twins? Gordon, I don't understand but let me get this clear, have you been having a good time?
Uncle Fester : [happily] Yes! I have! It was marvelous! I sang up a storm and danced until I dropped! Mamushka! And a hey, and a hey, and a hey, and a hey
[kicks the door, then stops doing the dance]
Uncle Fester : Mother?
Dr. Pinderschloss : Mother. Mother? Who's that? I don't think I recall.
Uncle Fester : Mother, please.
Dr. Pinderschloss : I'm just fine. I'm dandy. Don't concern yourself about me, Gordon. Please, return to your depraved orgy. Sometimes I think you're not even my son.
Uncle Fester : [sadly] Don't say that!
Dr. Pinderschloss : I'm just your mother. You only owe me your entire existence on this planet. Please, Gordon, by all means, go sing, dance, date!
Uncle Fester : Oh Mother... .I'm so terribly sorry. It was just a party. It's over. It means nothing. The Siamese Twins, the Hunchback, Cousin Itt, they're not you.
Dr. Pinderschloss : [puts her hands asie Gordon's head] Say it, Gordon, make me believe it.
Uncle Fester : I love you, and I want money!
Dr. Pinderschloss : [Fester falls down off the bed] We've got to find Tully.
