"Wednesday, look at all of the other children, their freckles, their bright little eyes, their eager, friendly smiles. Help them."

'Addams Family Values' is now available on Netflix from this weekend.

Following from the success of 1990's 'Addams Family', the sequel smartly moved away from the physical comedy and turned it more into subversive comedy. The lines and quips were smarter, the situations were darker and the casting got crazier - all thanks to Paul Rudnick's razor-sharp script.

Joan Cusack was perfectly cast as Debbie, the dangerous babysitter who ensnares Fester whilst Gomez - in one of Raul Julia's last on-screen roles - has to fight to get him back. Meanwhile, Pugsley and Wednesday are shipped off to a desperately wholesome summer camp and, far and away, have some of the funniest moments in the film.

Here's 13 of the best lines quotes from 'Addams Family Values'.
