and she says... uncle fester. please, dear, not now. later. we have a little problem. we caught the boy exercising. well, what's wrong with that? girls like guys with v-figures. the only trouble is, mine's upside-down. now, pugsley, dear, a man's charm comes from inner strength. not from outer bulges. look at your father, did you ever see a better example d the whole thing without a single push-up, pull-up, sit-up, sweat-up. the entire thing accomplished through the sheer glory of zen-yogi. zen-yogi has made your father what he is today. that plus the sheer beauty of his soul. querida. darling. let's have no more talk of biceps and triceps.

do as your father does. okay, mother, i'll try. darling. oh, just look at him. gaining inner strength. inner strength and a flat head. fester, don't knock anything until you've really tried it. how true, darling. now, uncle fester, your letter from yvette. oh, forget it. (thumping) gomez, darling, did you hear something? just a thump. (thumping)

what he's up to. he'll be coming through the ceiling in a minute, we can ask him. i have a better idea. (gong resounding) you rang? yes, lurch. would you go upstairs and check on uncle fester? there seems to be a lot of thumping going on up there. yes, mrs. addams. you thumped. oh, lurch. i'm in terrible shape. so i see. remember my french pen pal, yvette? folies-bergere. she's coming here to visit me. oh, c'est si bon. you can say that again. she thinks that i'm 6'3" and built like cary grant.

well, it's not that bad. i've got a couple of days to get in shape. but zen-yogi isn't gonna do it. corset? corset! 'course not. no. i'm gonna go on a crash program of diet and exercise, but secret. secret? yeah. you know how gomez and morticia feel about exercise. they think it's silly. i'll have to do it early in the morning. hey, i'll do it with that guy on tv, jack la lanne. the muscle man. he's on at 6:50 in the morning. (moaning) what are you moaning about? i'm the one that's gotta get up and do it! jack on tv: one, two, three, four. one, two, three, four. come on, ladies, hit it. one, two, three, four. one...

shoulders back, squat. hit it. one, two, three, four. one, two, three, four. come on, one, two, three, four... what is he doing? he's either dancing to the late late show or exercising to the early early show. one, two, three, four. hi. isn't that jack la lanne, the physical culture fellow? never heard of him. gomez. good thinking. fester: psst. hey. i can't get you on tv anymore,

i need help. you know, you said it was an emergency and it certainly is. you know, i've seen people let themselves go. but you're almost gone. touche! morticia. isn't that that television fellow with uncle fester? i do believe it is. that's odd having him here. fester's up to something. and underhanded? only when he was up to something shady. say, what do you generally eat? oh, the usual thing. eye of newt. puree of aardvark. roast yak. you know, they say we're what we eat. and, mister, you really are. look, it's all in this booklet. this is the astronaut's guide.

roger. four, three, two, one. blast off. boy, this exercise makes you thirsty. turn it off! well, now. ah-ha! a little punching the bag. well, i've stopped punching the bag. now, what's the next exercise in that astronaut book that la lanne gave me? deep knee-bends. deep knee-bends.

one. down. (joints cracking) more. (cracking continues) i got down all right. you've got to get me up. (joints cracking) oh, boy. listen to those muscles expand. (groaning) well. that's enough deep knee-bends. what's the next exercise? chest pulley. that will be a snap. thank you. (grunts)

yeah. i think i got the hang of it now. sure. (grunts) well, don't just stand there, help me. now i got the idea. let me have it. my, he was in a hurry. lurch, we know we can count on you. what's troubling fester? i think he's trying to tell us something. is he in trouble?

an emotional disturbance? a health problem? we're getting warm. a health problem. darling, you're right. uncle fester's ill. of course, that's it. it's written all over his face. just had to keep probing. thank you, lurch. thank you for being so helpful. what are you doing? relaxing. fester, old boy. your problem is solved. it is?

you're going in there? good luck, charlie. (gate creaking) (stammering) i'm doctor motley. follow me. doctor motley. just a moment, doctor, where are you going? i am going to nail up a quarantine sign. i can tell just by looking at you, there's an epidemic in this house. really, doctor, there's no need for hysterics. only one of us is sick.

st hasn't been himself. oh, i'm not sick. i just had a complete physical examination. blood pressure, perfect. pulse, perfect. reaction time, perfect. liver, so-so. so-so? well, you can't win them all. who performed this examination? i did. it may not be perfect, but it saves a lot of time. fester, where are you going? up to my room to sharpen my scalpel. your scalpel? yes. if my liver count keeps dropping, i may have to operate. uncle fester. as long as doctor motley is here, how about an examination? oh. need the practice, hey, doc? if it weren't for my hippocratic oath,

you see anything, doctor? yes, i see a face with pince-nez glasses. fester's head? either in or... let's try it from another angle. do you still see that face, doctor? no, now i see a moose's head. by george, fester always did like to keep an open mind. you know what i think? don't tell me you think he has holes in his head. i think you all have holes in your head. and that includes me. (door slams) poor fellow. those long internships do take their toll. (fester grunting)

how a man can go to pieces right before your very eyes. not only did he pass up lunch and dinner, but look at him. staring at the full moon and doing deep knee-bends. oh, dear, he is sick. usually when the moon is full, he howls at it. darling. you don't suppose his problem could be mental. possible. greater minds than his have been known to crack. yes. one moment, a brilliant nuclear physicist. the next, he was running around los alamos in a three-cornered hat and a powered wig. dear. darling, perhaps i should call a psychiatrist? querida, after our experience with dr. motley? you're right. i'll handle this myself.

you mean to analyze him? we must reach his subconscious. be lucky to reach his conscious. darling, we have to try and help him. but how? there are ways. now, uncle fester. i want you to concentrate. concentrate. concentrate. morticia, you're just wasting your time. the only one that can hypnotize me is me. now, watch. sleep. certainly doesn't waste time on preliminaries. yes, but i think we ought to make sure he's really out. test his reflexes. reflexes? yeah. with a hammer, you know. oh! oh, of course. by george, he's really under.

first question. you've been up to something lately, haven't you? yes. would you care to tell us about it? no. uncle fester. tell us. what's going through your poor tortured mind at this very moment? four, three, two, one. blast off! so that's it. what's it? we know now why uncle fester has been doing all this ridiculous exercising and dieting. we do? of course. he wants to become an astronaut. that's wonderful, the first addams in space. a proud moment, isn't it? no, it isn't. we can't let him go. why not? he's dc. district of columbia? direct current. put dc fester in the ac space capsule, and... nothing left of fester but a plump asteroid. how courageous.

a true addams. he'd set the space program back 20 years. we must save him from his brave folly. but first we better wake him up. oh, yes. uncle fester? uncle fester. oh, what we do now? you're gonna hit him with that? most certainly not, dear. (exclaims) oh, how horrible. i dreamed i was swimming the english channel and halfway across i sank. no use trying to conceal it. i need more exercises. hello, houston? this is morticia addams and i'd like to speak to the head of your astronaut program.

this is a citizen calling. if he could see you in all your loveliness, he'd pop out of bed in a minute. hello? hello, general. this is morticia addams. now, i don't mean to be critical, but i do think you're going a bit far in drafting uncle fester for your next gemini shot. well, not that he isn't willing to go, of course. but we do feel... yes. yes, i do know you have a moon shot in the morning. but that's no reason to lure plump, happy earthlings like uncle fester away. now, now, now. general. that kind of language will not solve any problem. i... general? what did he say? i think the phone went dead. morticia.

good heavens! the general's language must have burned up the phone wires. (fester humming) things have come to a pretty pass when a man can't have any privacy in his own steam cabinet. uncle fester, you can stop this ridiculous exercising. what astronaut program? ours, of course. unless you sold out to the russians. boy, are you off-base. i'm doing this for my pen pal, yvette. exercising for a pen pal? sure. she's from the folies-bergere. and she's gonna come over here and visit me. and when she gets here, i'm gonna be real trim and sexy. miss yvette.

nonsense. fester, old man, you have to go upstairs and face the music. oh, not with this body. perhaps she'll love you for your soul. well, that's even fatter. come on. lurch. where's our visitor from overseas? in the conservatory. oh, please show her in. yes, mrs. addams. you know, morticia, when she sees me, postal romance is going right down the drain. brace up, uncle fester. she'll love you for what you are. all of it. yvette? of course, cheri, and you must be fester. what an interesting couple.

but i thought you were with the folies-bergere. i am, i take care of the costumes. oh, no wonder she's putting on weight. if she takes care of the costumes at the folies-bergere, she doesn't have much to do. in your letter to me, you said to go on a diet. of course, cheri. but to gain weight, not to lose it. you are nothing but skin and bones. not my type at all. t la vie. yvette, you spoke french! of course, cheri. what do you expect from a french girl, hungarian? that's an interesting point. well, i must hurry, my cab is waiting. keep writing, cheri. well, if you can't believe in the folies-bergere, what's left for a fella? well, one good thing, fester,

take my advice. put your money on zen-yogi. hey! i did it. morticia: well, how handsome you both look. as grandpa squint addams used to say about cousin blob,

(music playing on tv) that junk man, really a gem, offering me money to take the set back. i'm glad it's back. these moon shots are so exciting. yes. they do stir up the old corpuscles. darling, that missile. why is its tail wagging?

but you've tuned in on rin tin tin. there. that's it. fester, is anything wrong? need a little recharging, that's all. what's going on? you're just in time for the moon shot. oh, that. i went through that whole astronaut booklet from cover to cover. i could have gone up in that rocket. i even volunteered to. but it's not what you know, it's who you know. (shushing) i think they're getting ready for the countdown. man on tv: five. four. three. five. four. three. two. one... two. one. blast off. that's the addams determination.

- oh boy, oh boy! - where are we, huh? - [driver] we've been driving for three days, yeah? - we're in texas. - oh. - this is my aunt kate's little green house. - are you sure aunt kate won't mind us coming? - the last time i was here she said, "drop in anytime!" - when was that? - spring of '54. (laughs) (gun shots) - it's a good thing she wasn't thrilled to see us. (horses sadly neigh) - hey, that's aunt kate. i think we picked a bad time to come, we better leave. (western music) (gun shots zing and horses gallop) - i think we picked a bad time to leave, let's stay. let's go help 'em, c'mon! micky!

(water droplet) (bell rings) (party horn) happy new year! (bell and party horn) (gun shots) - "happy new year", what is this stuff... (gun shots) - bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. - what is this, "bang bang bang" stuff? - well, i hate violence, besides i have more shells than you do, bang, bang, bang, bang. bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

the war, get it right, that's nesmith! - i thought mike's name was nester. - n.a.p.k.y.o.r.j.p. - no no, 'nester' means farmer. he's right, he means 'nesters'. - oh, oh hey, i'm sorry, i didn't realize, you know, and it seems like you were right in the first place so, go ahead with your speech. - i ain't gonna quit 'til i drive ya off your ranch. - oh hey, that's alright we'll take a taxi. - ok boys, open up, we'll fill that cabin so full o' holes it'll look like-a swiss cheese. - ahhhhhhh! - alright. - he's throwing everything at us with the kitchen sink! - next time will ya keep your mouth shut? - right, mouth shut. ("the monkees theme" by the monkees) ? (lyrics) here we come, walkin' down the street ? we get the funniest looks from everyone we meet

- well, i'll tell ya one thing, if we're gonna stay here, somebody's gotta go and get help. - i'll go, i'll leave, i can help. - hey, what about me? - they'll go. - you'll find the marshall in town, and uh, try to act a bit more western, 'cause around here, they don't take kindly to strangers. (boing) - no, peter, no, no, no. you have to open the top one first. - i understand.

(western horse galloping music) - hey micky, how come i have to where all this? - cause aunt kate said they don't like strangers in town. besides, you look very psychedelic. - oh (laughs) "how". - well, it's the peace symbol and the beads mostly. - oh, ok. - come on, let's go. - right, kemosabe. - what does kemosabe mean? - hey (laughs) don't ask. - come on.
