triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Guion


    *Enid = Enid in Wednesday's body

Tish: Bravo, Lurch. You have outdone yourself. Delicious.

*Enid: Remind me what this is again?

Tish: Darling, don’t you recognize your favorite family dish?

Pugsley: Roadkill pot pie.

Gomez: Mmhmm.

*Enid: Of course. Yum!

Tish: Now that we’re all here together, it’s time for a serious discussion. Your father and I have tried to instill our family values in you children.

Gomez: But we draw the line on (at) lying.

Pugsley: I thought you said lying was an important life skill.

Gomez: Yes, like in business, politics.

Tish: You two have been lying to us, and I’ll give you one chance to confess.

Pugsley: I lied to you about Slurp. I saw him at Pilgrim World and I let him go. I’m really sorry, Pop. So... do I get the rack or iron maiden?

Gomez: We’ll flip for it. Come on. Let’s go.

Tish: I see that bewildered look in your eyes. It’s the same look I noticed this morning. And now it makes sense. Your obsession for getting your ability back has finally made you lose your mind.

*Enid: What?

Tish: But don’t worry. I will have Lurch make up the guest room.

*Enid: No, that, that, that really isn’t necessary.

Tish: I sense your presence again. Show yourself. I demand it.

Weems: You’re still as insufferably bossy as you were at (in) 10th grade.

Tish: Larissa?

*Enid: Who’s Larissa?

Weems: Morticia, it’s good to see you.

*Enid: Oh, I just remembered...

Tish: Sit down.

Weems: I am Wednesday’s new spirit guide.

Tish: Wait. If you’re her guide, why can’t she see you?

Weems: At your beloved mother’s suggestion, Wednesday attempted to gain temporary second sight at Rosaline Rotwood’s headstone.

Tish: That’s why she dispatched Enid to search for answers in Rotwood’s séance chamber.

Weems: Except that wasn’t Enid. It was Wednesday.

Tish: Enid? Is that you in there? Where’s Wednesday?

*Enid: Locked in the lupin cages until the morning.

Weems: It’ll be too late. They only have until dawn to set this right. We can’t help them, Morticia. They have to save themselves.

*Enid: Mrs. Addams, I…

Tish: You must free Wednesday and fix this together before dawn.
