Sorry - totally playing thread necromancer here and I'm late to the party. Were these just ideas, or is there someplace where these can be read?

So far, they're only ideas, unfortunately. I haven't really "fleshed" any of them out yet, but I probably will some time soon. Sorry!

Cool. Do me a favor and keep a sister apprised. I'd like to read them. Where are you likely to post them?

I'll definitely keep you posted. Most likely on here, hopefully I'll get to work on some scripts this week!

Maui. 1950.

Gomez Addams is playing piano at a burlesque bar specializing in masks and disguises. Everyone is dressed up as some kind of weird creature or person, which piques Gomez' interest.

Gomez- Now, for my next number, I bring to you my rendition of... "La Cucaracha"!

He plays a dirge on the piano to accompany the lyrics which are sung by his partner, Malicia.

After the song finishes, the audience applauds loudly. A woman appears out of nowhere from the back room of the bar into the mosh pit that has formed around Gomez. She catches Gomez' eye, the woman winks at her, then disappears out of the crowd. Gomez is so intrigued that he immediately steps away from his piano and runs away to find this mystery girl.

Malicia- (laughing nervously) And for our next number, Gomez!

Gomez- (interrupting) Do it yourself, Malicia! I've got to go find this girl!

Malicia- (strangling microphone) We'll see about that, you no good liar! (throws down mike, knocks over everything on stage, and goes running after Gomez--- she knocks him down before he can reach Morticia who is about to walk out the door)

Morticia- (waving flirtaciously) Thanks for the show, darling.

Gomez- (staring down Malicia) You!!!!! You just let her get away!

Malicia- Have you forgotten about our love affair?

Gomez- What love affair? (Pushing Malicia away from him)

Malicia- Well, we play music... and isn't that the language of love? (she stares at him admiring him)

Gomez- Oh Malicia... (shaking his head) I've got to go find this girl.

He runs out of the bar into the dead of the night, chasing after the mysterious girl with long, black hair. The familiar theme begins to play in the background, as we cut to:
