Morticia, wearing gardening gloves, is snipping theblossoms off her roses.

Gomez sits at a table, playing CHESS with Thing.

GOMEZ:

It's a milestone, Tish. This very

evening -- our twenty-fifth seance.

All those years, gnawed by guilt,

undone by woe, burning with

uncertainty...

MORTICIA:

(yearningly)

Oh Gomez, don't torture yourself.

That's my job.

GOMEZ:

(lustfully)

Tish...

MORTICIA:

Imagine, Darling, if Fester did

come back. Half-alive, barely

human, a rotting shell...

GOMEZ:

Don't tease.

TULLY ALFORD, the family attorney, and his wife, MARGARET,

approach "GATE," a wrought-iron monstrosity that opens ofits own accord. Though Tully comes here often andMargaret has been here before, they never cease to bestartled by "Gate."

Tully has a puffy, once handsome face, and an embitteredgrey aura that is the mark of a middle-age misspent.

High-strung and superficial, Margaret is more disappointed

in Tully than he is in himself.

Margaret passes through Gate first. Then, as Tully passesthrough, Gate slams on him, clipping him and catching theend of his coat. Tully fights Gate for his coat.

TULLY:

Let me go!

Ignoring Tully, Margaret continues stiffly up the walk.

TULLY:
