Tully BACK-PEDALS and, as he PULLS the sword from thewall, POINTS TO something behind Gomez.

TULLY:

What's that?!

Gomez turns to see and Tully CHARGES, wielding the swordas if he means to decapitate Gomez. But Gomez easilyPARRIES the blow.

GOMEZ:

Dirty pool, old man! I like it!

Gomez counters, driving Tully back. He shreds Tully'sjacket.

TULLY:

Had enough?

They continue to fence. Gomez flips Tully's briefcaseopen and a sheaf of legal looking papers spills out.

GOMEZ:

Where's my pen? Never mind, I'll

use yours.

His blade finds the pen in Tully's inside jacket pocket.

He does HANDSPRINGS back to his desk, landing gracefullyin his chair.

GOMEZ:

First, the old business!

He swivels, warding off another blow, then cavalierlycontinues the duel as he signs the LEGAL DOCUMENTSscattered before him.

CUT TO:

17 INT. ADDAMS ATTIC - SAME TIME 17

Morticia, Granny, and Margaret sort through Addams'possessions. In trunks. Boxed. Stacked. Covered with

shrouds. Morticia opens a gigantic, elaborately carvedarmoire.

MORTICIA:

Perhaps it's in here.

GRANNY:

(mischievously)

I don't think so...

In the front of the armoire is an overstuffed GARMENT BAG

LABELLED 'UNCLE NIKNAK'S WINTER CLOTHES.'

Uncle Niknak's winter wardrobe...

She carefully passes the garment bag to Granny whochucks it aside.

The next garment bag is marked 'UNCLE NIKNAK'S SUMMERCLOTHES.'

MORTICIA:

Uncle Niknak's summer wardrobe...

She passes this garment bag to Granny who chucks it asidealso.

Next in the armoire is a BODY BAG.

MORTICIA:

(fonder still)

Uncle Niknak.

Morticia continues going through the armoire.

CUT TO:

18 INT. GOMEZ'S STUDY - SAME TIME 18

Gomez and Tully are still duelling. Still signing. Gomez

hasn't even broken a sweat.

GOMEZ:

I wish you'd drop by moreoften.

Tully doggedly fights on. His jacket has suffered moreshredding from Gomez's blade.

TULLY:

I'm like to, but...

GOMEZ:

But what, old sport?

TULLY:

Oh, you know...

GOMEZ:

You know what?

TULLY:

I'm a bleeder.
