Quotes

• Principal Larissa Weems : We want our students to be well-rounded.

  Wednesday Addams : I'd prefer to remain sharp-edged.

• Wednesday Addams : Yes, I know that I am stubborn, obsessive and single-minded. Those are all traits of great writers

  [Thing gesticulates pointedly] 

  Wednesday Addams : Yes, and serial killers too. What's your point

• Wednesday Addams : This story is about to take a dark turn. Usually I love dark turns, like when the carousel brakes mysteriously failed at my eighth birthday party.

• Marilyn Thornhill : Are you and your mother close?

  Wednesday Addams : Like two inmates sentenced to life in the same cell block.

• Enid Sinclair : Admit it! You kinda got into the whole school spirit thing.

  Wednesday Addams : You didn't tell me it was a dark, vengeful spirit.

• Enid Sinclair : Care to take a stab at being social?

  Wednesday Addams : I do like stabbing. The social part, not so much.

• Enid Sinclair : Why don't we ask Thing? Wait, you can't because he's mad at you.

  Wednesday Addams : Why is he mad? He's the one who screwed up with Rowan.

  Enid Sinclair : All I know is that we spent an hour giving each other mani's and he really opened up. He feels like you don't respect him as a person.

  Wednesday Addams : Well, technically he's only a hand.

  Enid Sinclair : Wednesday, he's your family! And he would do anything for you. Go apologize and I'll consider helping you.

• Wednesday Addams : Blab and I will squeeze you like a honeycomb.

  Eugene Ottinger : Snitches get stung. It's hive code. Besides, I should be thanking you. This is the most girls I've ever had in the shed.

  Wednesday Addams : Shocking.

  Eugene Ottinger : I've always had a thing for werewolf chicks.

  Wednesday Addams : My mother and I are two different people slash species slash everything.

• Wednesday Addams : [muses on Rowan being alive]  Which leads me to believe I must be losing my mind. It's not nearly as fun as I anticipated.

• Wednesday Addams : Edgar Allan Poe said, "Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see." clearly Nevermore's most famous alumni picked that up here. No wonder he became a drug-addled madman.

• Wednesday Addams : Secret societies, hidden libraries, my mother staring at me in a judgmental way... these are all things I've come to expect.

  Wednesday Addams : Lose what?

  Marilyn Thornhill : The ability to not let others define you.
