Debbie Jellinsky has the Addams family strapped into electric chairs while she delivers a manic, self-pitying presentation about her history of murdering husbands for failing to meet her high expectations.
DEBBIE: My last husband. My latest husband. My late husband. Fester. The fool. The corpse. And his adorable family. You took me in. You accepted me. You gave me a wedding. But did any of you love me? Really love me? So I killed the husband. Big deal. You think that makes me a bad person?
