All language subtitles for Beetlejuice (Beetle Juice)

Oh, that's a big fella.

Whoal

- Looks great.
- Thank you.

- Happy vacation, honey.
- Ooh_

Manchurian tung oil.
Where did you get this?

Helen got it for me in Oslo.

Well, there's enough here
to do the whole table and the bureau.

Hmm.

I wonder what this could be.

- Oh, honey, you got it. Thank you.
- Enough there to do the entire guest room.

I'm so glad we're spending
our vacation at home.

- I'm gonna get started right away.
- Well, hey, where are you going?

- I'll get it.
- Be my guest.

I'll just get the...

- Maybe you should get it.
- I'll go.

Okay. No!

Oh, no.

Ugh, Jane.

It's your turn, honey.

Good luck. Thanks.

Hi, Barbara. “Hi

glad I caught you.
Heard you were on vacation.

That's right. Complete vacation.

- Honey, today I'm $260,000.
- No, Jane.

- It's 6:45 in the morning.
- This offer is real.

From a man in New York City
who only saw a photograph.

Jane, don't send people
photos of our house.

He wants to bring the wife and family
up here for some peace and quiet.

That's exactly what we're looking for.

But, Barbara, this house
is too big for you.

It really ought to be
for a couple with a family, you know...?

Oh, pumpkin, I didn't mean anything.
It's just that this house is too big.

- I'll see you in a few weeks. Okay?
- Okay.

- All right.
- Think about it.

Barbara: Take care.

Boo!

- I was just telling Barbara about this offer...
- No, Jane.

Adam.

Barbara, come with me
down to the store.

- What for?
- I need a new brush for this tung oil.

- And I want to get a part for the model.
- Well, you just run in, okay?

Adam: Two weeks at home.
The perfect vacation.

Barbara: Jane says we should
sell the house to someone with a family.

Well, I don't think that
it's any of Jane's business.

Besides, we could try again
on this vacation, you know.

Oh, really”? What are you saying?

Adam: How are you doing, Ernie?
Ernie: Hi, how are you?

Morning, Adam.

- Need a haircut before your vacation?
- No, thanks, bill.

- How's the model coming?
- Oh, it's great.

You know, you said bozman built that
foundation in 1835. But his grandson...

He got hair right down
to his goddamn shoulders.

He says to me, "just trim it a little.”

- I took the scissors to him so fast...
- See you later, huh, bill?

Bill: Right.

This is gonna be great.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather go
to Jamaica or someplace like that?

- No way. There's no place like home.
- Hey, look out for that...!

Barbara:
Perfect start to our vacation.

Well, you'll feel better
when you're dry, honey.

Barbara:
That fire wasn't burning when we left.

- How's your arm?
- I don't know. It feels frozen.

I'll make some coffee
and you get wood for the fire.

Maybe we should just take things
extra slow.

Do you remember how
we got back up here?

I'm gonna go back down to the bridge
and retrace our steps.

You saved my... two hours.

- Barbara, you are not gonna believe... what?
- That's how long you were gone.

- What is going on?
- I have to show you something.

I ook.

There's that

and there's that

- "Handbook for the recently diseased.”
- Deceased.

"Deceased ”

I don't know where it came from.
Look at the publisher.

"Handbook for
the recently deceased press."

You know what?
I don't think we survived the crash.

I hate this.

Just... can you give me the basics?

Well, this book isn't arranged that way.
What do you wanna know?

Well, why did you disappear
when you stepped off the porch?

Are we halfway to heaven,
are we halfway to hell?

And how long is this gonna last?

I don't see anything about heaven or hell.

This book reads like stereo instructions.
Listen to this:

"Geographical and temporal perimeters.

Functional perimeters vary from
manifestation to manifestation.”

Oh, this is gonna take some time, honey.

Damn sandworms. Thirteen percent, huh?

Well, I better find a job.
I et's see. Business section.

Ooh-la-la.

What do we got here?
The maitlands, huh?

Cute couple. Look nice and stupid too.

I wish I had a better view
of the cemetery from here.

I can't tell which is
the best placement for us.

Cabin fever, hon?

Well, I can't clean anything properly.

The vacuum"s out in the garage
and we can't leave the house.

Why don't they tell us something?
Where are all the other dead people?

Why is it just you and me?

Maybe this is heaven.

In heaven there wouldn't be dust
on everything.

Adam: It's Jane.

Barbara: God, what's she doing here?
- I don't know. Hey, Jane, up here. Jane.

- Can't see you, right?
- Uh-uh.

In the book, rule number two:
"The living usually won't see the dead."

- Won't or can't?
- It just says "won't."

God, this book is so stupid.
I can't understand anything in there.

Barb, honey...

We're dead.

I don't think we have very much
to worry about anymore.

Barbara: Aah!

Man 1: Ah, this is great.
This is just what the doctor ordered.

Sorry, ma'am.

Delia deetz, welcome home.

Charles.

It's okay, there's no damage.
Look, see? It's okay.

Good, sturdy, country craftsmanship.

And look at that kitchen.

You're finally gonna be able
to cook a decent meal

come and have a look.

A little gasoline. Blowtorch. No problem.

Excuse me. Down we go.

Charles:
We'll have to rip out all the plumbing.

But other than that, it's perfect.
Just perfect.

What do you think, honey?
Delia hates it.

I could live here.

Careful. That's my sculpture.

I don't mean "my" as in "I bought it."
I mean I made it. It's my sculpture.

Put it on the table.

Ten minutes.
I'm already perfectly at ease.

It's perfect.

Man 2: Help! - It's otho

Charles: Otho, why don't you just
come in the front?

It's bad luck.

Otho, you left the city for me.
I am so happy.

Of course you are.

- Delia.
- You're right.

- Let's get one thing straight.
- You're right.

- We're here to enjoy the country setting...
- Mm-hm_

- Not to trash the place.
- You're right.

Otho: Charles, you're lucky
the yuppies are buying condos...

So you can afford what I'm going
to have to do to this place.

Otho, I'm here to relax and clip coupons,
and, damn it, I mean to do it.

Then go do it quietly, dear,
and let otho and I think.

Otho:
Is the rest of the house as bad as this?

Is this a punishment or something?

What are we gonna do?

We're not completely helpless, Barbara.

I've been reading that book and there's
a word for people in our situation.

(Hosts.

Otho:
Delia, let's get this show on the road.

We're dealing with
negative entertainment potential.

I mean, there's absolutely
no organic flow-through.

I noticed that too.
It's like a giant ant farm.

- What?
- I thought I saw something.

Otho: You've read my mind.

- I did?
- So few clients are able to read my mind.

They're just not open to the experience.

Hmm.

My god.

We just have to pray the other closets
are bigger than this one.

Ooh, look.

Ozzie and Harriet.

Ugh.

- What happened to these people?
- They died.

Oh, look, an indoor outhouse.

Otho. Viridian.

Viridian. Now, why do I know that name?

Blue-green.

Hydrated chromic oxide.

Remember, I'm schooled in chemistry.
I was a hair analyst.

- What?
- Briefly.

Yuck. Deliver me from l.L bean.

Boo! Aah!

I know what you two are up to
and you're not gonna get away with it.

Oh, honey, this is not working out at all.

Charles, I will not stop living and breathing
art just because you need to relax.

Ha

Delia: I'm here.
I will live with you in this hellhole.

But I must express myself.
If you don't let me gut out this house...

And make it my own, I will go insane
and I will take you with me!

Yeah. Well, you know, maybe the house
could use a little remodeling.

Uh, but why don't you just leave
this room alone, okay?

Okay.

I'm gonna get her.

So?

Once you cover up the wallpaper,
knock down a few walls

this place might just be livable.

- What's on the third floor?
- Attic space.

Oh, I forgot to lock the attic door.

Did you feel something? “When?

- You don't have a key?
- Maybe Charles does.

I have a feeling there's something
very interesting behind this door.

Yeah, ghosts of the people who died in
this house, and they want us out of here.

So let's do them a favor.

My god, that was close.

Barbara: I cannot watch this.

What's the good of being a ghost
if you can't frighten people away?

- Honey.
- No, I'm not putting up with this.

- Barbara, you don't know what's out there.
- I don't care.

Adam: Barbara!

Barbara: Adam.

- Adam?
- Barbara.

Barbara: Adam!

- Adam. Oh, help.
- Barbara.

Help, I'm getting all yellow.

Adam!

Oh, Adam.

We're trapped in this house
with those people.

I can't believe we're eating cantonese.
Is there no sichuan up here?

Plan to have a stroke from the amount
of msg that's in this food.

This 1s our first meal in this house.

So why don't we all do our little
private parts to make it a pleasant one?

Don't bait your mother, pumpkin.

Soon as we get settled, we'll build you
a darkroom in the basement, okay?

My whole life is a darkroom.

One big dark room.

So you were miserable
in New York City...

And now you're going to be miserable
out here in the sticks.

At least someone's life
hasn't been upheaved.

I'm perfectly happy here.
Those people in New York...

They just don't know
what they're missing.

You know, we could become
the summer art center of New York.

I could start sculpting again.
I'm only truly happy when I'm sculpting.

That's a very good idea.
That'll be, um, ahem, very time-consuming.

First the house.
Otho and I have some great plans.

I think we should keep it the way it is.

(Ood idea.

Furniture truck is coming. We're gonna
have to decide what goes and what stays.

Everything goes,
along with whatever's in the attic.

Put it up. Come on.

Careful.

You see, if you tell me what you do
I'll tell you why my husband will fire you.

- Isn't there an index or something?
- No, nothing.

All right, now.

What's this?

Delia: No, no, I'm sorry.
That does not go there.

Do you know where that's going?
Did anyone tell you where to...?

Why are there only three sculptures?
There were four sculptures here.

Where's the fourth sculpture? No!

No, what are you doing?

Efxcuse me. Put it down.

"Betelgeuse, the bio-exorcist.
Troubled by the living?

Is death a problem and not the solution?
Unhappy with eternity?

Having difficulty adjusting?
Call betelgeuse."

Delia: Put it down.
- Betelgeu... betel...

That's it?
There's no number or instructions?

Nothing. The "bio-exorcist."
I don't get it.

Delia: Would you put that down?
- Straight back.

Delia:
Why is that still up there?

Why don't you guys take a break
for about half an hour, okay?

Man: Uh-huh.

Jesus Christ!

Delia:
What are you doing? Put that down.

What the hell are you doing out there?

Delia: Listen to me. No! Jesus.

Why are you doing this to me?
This is my art and it is dangerous.

Do you think I want to die like this?

- No, no.
- Hi. How are you?

That little girl saw us.

- Honey, nobody can see us.
- But she did.

- What happened to the previous owners?
- They drowned.

Yes, they were family. I was devastated.

- Here, take that.
- Is this the key to the attic?

That's a skeleton key.
That key will open any door in the house.

Give that to your father.

And you might mention that I
single-handedly decorated that house.

In case he needs any advice in that arena,
have him come see me.

Don't worry. I locked the door.

Having trouble with the living?
You tired of having your home violated?

You want to get rid of them
pesky living critters?

Well, come on down and see me, folks,
I'm the afterlife's leading bio-exorcist.

Yes, sirree. Come on down here
and I want to tell you, I'll do anything.

I'll scare them real bad. The point is, folks,
I'm gonna do anything to get your business.

Hell, I'll possess myself if I gotta.

Wow! Yo, I got demons
running all through me.

All through me.
Come on down here and see it

and hey, if you act now, you get a free
demon possession with every exorcism.

You can't beat that, can you?

And bring the little pards down.

Hell, we got plenty of snakes and lizards
for them to play with. No problem at all.

So say it once, say it twice,
third time's the charm. And remember:

I'll eat anything you want me to eat
swallow anything you want me to swallow

so come on down, I'll chew on the dog

We need some help. I read something in
this book this morning about emergencies.

All right, here it is.
"In case of emergency, draw a door."

"Draw a door"? I don't know why
we keep looking in that stupid book.

Hey, maybe we should try
that "beetle" guy.

Oh.

You didn't actually think
that was gonna work, did you?

Ahal

"knock three times."

Blugh.

Birdies.

Gget it.

Lydia: Dad.

- Can't you see I'm relaxing in here?
- Well, I wanna tell you what I saw.

What is the point of my coming up here
if you people won't let me relax?

Pumpkin, sweetheart...

Go help your mother.

Maybe you can relax in a haunted house,
but I can't

Hmm.

Nice building. Bad roof. Good parking.

- Adam?
- This way, honey.

You don't have an appointment, do you?

Well, we didn't know how to make one.

- Appointment for what?
- What do you want?

- We need some help.
- Ha! Already?

You just bit the big one two months ago
and you want help.

What does that have
to do with anything?

You're gonna use up
all your help vouchers: D-90s.

You spend 125 years on earth
actually in that house...

During which you get only three
class-one d-90 intercessions with juno.

You probably haven't even read through
the manual completely yet.

You'll have to wait if you don't have
an appointment.

- An appointment with whom?
- For juno, your caseworker.

Number 54,000,601. Ferndock.

- Want a cigarette?
- Uh, no, thank you.

Trying to cut down myself.

Adam, is this what happens
when you die?

This 1s what happens when you die.

That is what happens when he dies.
And that is what happens when they die.

It's all very personal.
And I'll tell you something.

If I knew then what I know now,
I wouldn't have had my little accident.

Maitland. Party of two.

Take the handbook
and go to the sixth door.

Oh, we forgot our handbook.

Come on.

Woman: All new arrivals,
report to waiting room number 8.

Flight 409 is arriving at gate 3.

How do I look?
There are no mirrors on this side

fine. You look fine. Yeah?

- Fine.
- Thanks. I've been feeling a little flat.

Woman: Will the Peterson party
report to door number 9?

Peterson party,
please report to door number 9.

All new arrivals,
report to waiting room number 8.

A hundred and 25 years.
I can't believe this

I can't believe they didn't tell us.

Oh, Adam, what is this?

That's the lost souls' room.

A room for ghosts
that have been exorcised.

Poor devils.

That's death for the dead.

It's all in the handbook.

Keep moving.

Five

this is the sixth door.

Boy, oh, boy, this place just gets weirder
and weirder.

Barbara.

We're home.

Look at this place. Everything's different.

All our furniture's gone.

How long do you suppose
we were waiting there?

Three months.

I'd almost given up on you.
I was about to leave.

I do have other clients.

Are you juno, our caseworker?
Yes.

I evaluate individual cases
and determine

if help is needed,
deserved and available

- are you available?
- No_

- What's wrong?
- We're very unhappy.

What did you expect? You're dead.

We want to get rid of the people
who moved in here.

Barbara and I worked very hard
on this house.

We probably wouldn't mind sharing
the house with people who were...

More like you used to be. Yes.

But these people...

Things seem pretty quiet here.

You should thank god
you didn't die in Italy.

The deetzes.

- Okay, have you been studying the manual?
- Well, we tried.

The intermediate interface chapter
on haunting says it all.

Get them out yourselves. It's your house.

Haunted houses aren't easy to come by.

- Well, we don't quite get it.
- I heard.

Tore your faces right off.

It doesn't do any good to pull your
heads off in front of people...

If they can't see you.

- We should start more simply?
- Start simply.

Do what you know.
Use your talents. Practice.

You should have been studying
those lessons since day one.

- Ooh. I've got to go.
- What about that guy in the flyer, betel...?

Shh!

Don't even say his name.
You don't want his help.

- Well...
- We might.

No, you don't.
He does not work well with others.

What do you mean?

I didn't want to bring it up.

But rather than have you stumble onto it
and make another mistake, I'll tell you.

He was my assistant.

But he was a troublemaker.
He went out on his own

gs a freelance bio-exorcist.

Claimed he could get rid of the living.
Got into more trouble.

In fact, I believe he's been
sleazing around your cemetery lately.

The only way he can be brought back...

Is by calling his name three times.

But I strongly suggest...

That you remove
the deetzes yourselves.

Well, how do we contact you
if we need you again?

Oh, Adam, that guy's in our cemetery.

She's right, honey. We just have to
keep this simple. We can do this. Come on.

Betelgeuse:
Hey, you. Hey, come here.

Hungry?

Come on. Hey, come here.

I got something good for you.
Come on. Come on over.

We'll have a little bite,
you'll have something to nosh.

- Come here.
Fly: Help me. Help me. Help me.

Maxie, have I not always made you money?
I think that's the only real question here.

Well, Charles,
nobody made me money like you.

I mean, before your nerves went,
you were a demon.

It's just that winter river, Connecticut
is, if you'll forgive me, nowhere.

Why would I wanna invest
that kind of money in an old building...

- Way the hell up there?
- It's not a building. That's the beauty of it.

These people don't know the value of
their property. I can buy the whole town.

Oh, then we own a whole town
in the middle of nowhere

Max, you've got to come up here
and see.

Charles: And, uh, bring Sarah.

Yeah, all right, Charles.
It's just that I am kind of busy here.

Uh, just a minute, maxie.

Now, listen. Enough of this talk
about visiting, okay? I gotta go.

Maxie:
You take it easy up there, big fellow.

- Goodbye.
- Uh, Max, wait, wait, wait.

Putz.

Jeez, Lydia, is Connecticut so boring?
I had maxie Dean on the phone, honey.

Dad's found a way of making some money
while I relax, so would you scram?

Your mother's gonna kill you when she sees
you cut holes in her $300 sheets.

This is so corny. Is this what
we've been reduced to? Sheets?

Adam:
Think of them as death shrouds.

And the moaning is important.
Really moan.

God, how can he stand that woman?

Cut it out. I'm a child, for god's sakes.

Barbara: I feel so stupid.
Adam: It's not stupid. We're ghosts.

Do you want to spend the next 125 years
having breakfast with this woman?

Moan louder.

Adam: Oh, god.

Sick. Sexual perversion.

If you guys are gonna do that weird
sexual stuff, do it in your own bedroom.

No feet.

Are you the guys hiding out in the attic?

Adam: We're ghosts.

Barbara: Whoo!

- What do you look like under there?
Adam: Aren't you scared?

I'm not scared of sheets.
Are you gross under there?

Are you night of the living dead
under there?

Like all bloody veins and pus?

- Night of the what?
- Living dead. It's a movie.

If I had seen a ghost at your age,
I would have been scared out of my wits.

You're not gross.
Why are you wearing sheets?

We're practicing.

- You can see us without the sheets?
- Of course I can see you.

Well, how is it that you see us
and nobody else can?

Well, I read through that
handbook for the recently deceased.

It says, "live people ignore
the strange and unusual."

I myself am strange and unusual.

You look like a regular girl to me.

Adam: You read our book? Yeah

- you could follow it?
- Yeah. Why were you in Delia's bedroom?

- We were trying to scare your mother.
- Stepmother.

Anyway, you can't scare her.
She's sleeping with prince valium tonight.

You did this? You carved all these
little houses and things?

Mm-hm.

And this used to be your house.

Why do you want to scare everybody?

Well, we wanted to frighten you
so you would move out.

You don't know the deetzes very well.

My father bought this place.
He never walks away from equity.

Why don't you leave? “We can't

we haven't left the house
since the funeral

funeral

god. You guys really are dead.

This is amazing.

Charles: Lydia.

I better go. “Wait.

- Don't tell your parents that we're up here.
- Unless you think it'll frighten them away.

You tell them that we are horrible.

Desperate, ghoulish creatures who will
stop at nothing to get our house back.

What if this is a dream? Can you guys do
any tricks to prove I'm not dreaming?

Well, if you are real ghosts, you guys better
get another routine because those sheets...

They don't work.

Delia: Ghosts.

You're telling me we have ghosts
in this house

those pictures are of ghosts. Are they?

(Hosts.

Lydia, I am giving a dinner party
tonight for seven people.

My agent, Bernard, is bringing a woman
who writes for art in America.

In fact, no one dining here this evening
has not been in vanity fair except you.

I told them you were too mean
to be afraid.

Don't you dare speak to others about me.

Being embarrassed in front of the few
people who will set foot in here scares me.

So let's play family just for tonight, hmm?

Lydia's trying, but they don't believe her.

She's got photos, Barbara.

Adam, you had a photo of bigfoot.

My photo of bigfoot is a different story.

Anyhow, we've gotta get some help here.

We've gotta contact this guy, betelmeyer,
or something.

Adam.

I ook.

It's him. Betelgeuse.

Betelgeuse.

Go ahead, Barbara, say it.

Betelgeuse.

What happened?

I think we're in the model.

Hey, look at that.

Well, where is he? What do we do?

Looks like we dig, Barbara.

Oh, it's about time.

- I say we open it.
- Maybe we should knock first.

Yeah.

Adam. Babs.

Boy, do you know how to pick them. Is this
relationship solid? Do I have a shot at her?

- Excuse me.
- Sure. Am I overstepping my bounds?

Just tell me. Come on.
Know what's beautiful about this?

You two kids picked me.
You didn't have to, but you picked me.

It makes me want to kiss you guys.
Come on, give me one.

- Nol!
- L1 beg your pardon.

All right, let's get down to business.

I've got a card here somewhere.
Here who do I have to kill?

Here, hold that for me, will you?

- There you go.
- You don't have to kill anybody.

Ah, possession. Good.

Betelgeuse: Learn to throw your voice.
Fool your friends. Fun at parties.

No. We just wanna
get some people out of our house.

I understand. Well, look, in order to do that,
I'm gonna have to get to know you guys.

We've got to get closer.
Move in with you for a while.

Get to be real pals.
You know what I'm saying? In...

Save that guy for later, huh?

My wife and I would like to ask
a couple of questions.

- Sure, sure, sure. Go ahead. Shoot.
- For instance, what are your qualifications?

Ah. Well, I attended Juilliard.

I'm a graduate of
the Harvard business school

I lived through the black plague.
And I had a pretty good time during that.

I've seen the exorcist about 167 times

and it keeps getting funnier
every single time I see it.

Not to mention the fact
that you're talking to a dead guy.

Now, what do you think?
You think I'm qualified?

What I mean is, can you be scary?

Oh! Oh.

I know what you're asking me.
Can I be scary?

What do you think of this?

You like it?

- Will you excuse us, please?
- Sure. Talk amongst yourself.

- Adam, let's go.
- I know, but I think he can be useful later.

Barbara: We can work something out.
- Oh, yeah.

Barbara: Hey, hey, hey.
Adam: Excuse me.

- What?
- Excuse me. We are leaving now.

Oh, come on. Don't go yet.

Hey, guy, come on. We're simpatico here.

Look at us, huh?
We even shop at the same store.

Hey, hermano.

Yeah, there you go.

Hey, come on. We're like peas in a pod,
the three of us. Let's face it

you want somebody out of the house.
I want to get somebody out of your house.

Look. We've been to saturn.
Hey, I've been to saturn.

Whoa. Sandworms.

You hate them, right?
I hate them myself.

Come on, kids, what do I have to do
to strike a deal with you two, huh?

- Don't you hate it when that happens?
- Let's go.

Wait a minute. Just come up for a while.
We'll talk inside. Come on. Come on.

Barbara: I'm not staying here.
- The place is a mess.

- We have to get out of here.
- I'll fix you something to eat.

Home. Home home.

- Barbara, how did you do that?
- Hope you like Italian.

Where'd you go? Hey, come on.
Hey, where'd you go?

Hey. Come on.
You've got to work with me here.

I'm just trying to cut a deal.
What do you want me to do?

Where are you?

You bunch of losers!

You're working with a professional here.

Nice fucking model.

Barbara:
See, we can do this stuff on our own.

Besides, I'm not exposing that little
girl to that pervert down there.

Barbara, we did call him,
and he seemed awfully pissed off.

I don't care. I've changed my mind.

Listen, I think we can scare them off
ourselves, tonight.

I have an idea.

I think what you did with the place
is wonderful

not me. Them.

S07? Oh um

uh

You like them

I just hope it wasn't yet another
of your dreary suicide attempts.

You know what they say about people
who commit suicide?

In the afterlife,
they become civil servants.

Otho, I didn't realize
you were into the supernatural.

Well, of course. You remember.

After my stint with the living theatre...

I was one of New York City's
leading paranormal researchers...

Until the bottom dropped out in "72.

Paranormal? Is that what
they're calling your kind these days?

Don't mind her. She's still upset because
somebody dropped a house on her sister.

Well, this looks really good.

I saw some ghosts.

- It's a little private joke Lydia and I share.
- It's not a joke.

Yes, it is. Just today she tried
to convince me that this house is haunted.

Kids. You know, I love them.

- By ghosts?
- In designer sheets, no less.

I'd like to propose a toast
to our intrepid friends...

Who braved the expressway
and two dozen tollbooths to be with us.

May your buildings go condo.

Now, Lydia, favor us about your ghosts.

No. I am sick of that subject.

Oh, Delia, lighten up.

I would rather talk about...

That's cute, Delia.

Otho, are you doing this?

We did it.

I et's watch them scatter.

Any minute now they're gonna come
running out of that door screaming.

Any minute now.

Lydia: It's me, Lydia.

They want you to come downstairs.

Delia says you can wear
any sheets you want.

It was like being in an amusement park.

Wham!

I didn't even know I could do the
calypso. “Who has more fun than us?

We're dealing with
Tracy and hepburn here.

A very sophisticated pair.
I mean, they even appear in sheets.

Charles, what I wanna know is
why didn't you tell us about this before?

Well, we're not even sure
we want our secret out.

I mean, everyone's gonna want them
for their parties, ha, ha.

People will pay big money for this, grace.

The enquirer is offering $50,000
for proof of life after death.

Delia: Fifty thousand?

This is it, Charles.
You can get maxie Dean up here now.

- You think so?
- Sarah loves the supernatural.

She'll have him sprint up here
in his helicopter...

If you can produce ghosts for her.

Oh, Charles.

I should remind you all
that I am Delia's agent.

I have consistently lost money
on her work for years.

If anything actually happened here,
I shall handle it.

But not until I've seen some real proof.

- But, Bernard, what about this table?
- What just happened, what was that?

And what money?
Don't you believe in my work?

Charles: Uh-uh-uh!

Here's Lydia.

- Well?
- They don't want to come down.

Delia: Charles.

Why not?

I think the reason is that they were trying
to scare you away, and you didn't get scared.

Please, they're dead.
It's 3 little late to be neurotic.

All right.

This was not a hallucination.
This was real

we all just experienced a very super-powerful
paranormal experience and it was real.

Delia, you are a flake.
You have always been a flake.

If you insist on frightening people,
do it with your sculpture.

Charles: Drive carefully.

- I'm dead.
- Where do they hide out?

- The attic.
- The attic's locked.

They're ghosts, dad.
They can do what they want.

Yeah, they do whatever they want.
Lydia, you take us up there right now.

Fabulous. Otho fenlock's
"I ocked door ghosts"

probably committed suicide up there.

- I'm totally enchanted.
Delia: They're in there?

- They must live like animals.
- It's locked. How did they get in?

Open this door, you dead people,
or we'll bust it down.

And drag you out by the ropes
you hanged yourself with.

- They didn't commit suicide.
- It doesn't matter.

I have a chance to teach you something.
Take the upper hand in all situations...

Or people, whether dead or alive,
will walk all over you.

Open up!

So where are they?

Listen, you guys, these ghosts
are really nice people.

I think we scared them away,
so let's just leave them alone, all right?

It's the whole damn town.

I have never been so embarrassed.
They haven't gone for good, have they?

Hmm.

Charles: Beep, beep.
- Dad, don't. Mom, let's just go.

No ghosts here.

Come on. If they are in here,
I don't want to scare them away.

Well, we're leaving now.
You can go about your business.

Charles: What are we doing?
Delia: Quick, quick, quick.

Oh, boy. You guys are really a couple of
spooksters, aren't you?

Now, let's turn on the juice
and see what shakes loose.

Otho, you get maxie on the phone.
We've really got something here.

We can turn this place into the world's
leading supernatural research center.

An amusement park. I'll do a presentation.
Lydia will bring the ghosts.

I can't bring the ghosts, dad.
They're not here.

- Otho, can't you do something?
- Perhaps. If I'm properly motivated.

Just what type of motivation
do you require, otho?

Lydia: Why don't you leave them alone?
They didn't do anything to you.

Hi

Whoal

We've come for your daughter, Chuck.

Stop. Stop.

Yeah.

- Betelgeuse, betelgeuse, betelgeuse.
- Oh, no.

Why are you doing this?

Leave me alone, all of you.

Great choice we got here.
We spend the next century...

Either hanging out the window
or doing parlor tricks.

Maybe they'll leave now.
That snake was a nasty customer.

- Well, he could've hurt somebody.
- But he didn't.

We've got them
right where we want them.

You bunch of losers. How dare you interrupt
a professional while he's working.

I'm not fond of Charles deetz,
but you could've killed him.

Hey, I'm just doing my job.
Besides, I thought we had a deal.

Hey, it's okay. You know why?

I don't wanna do business
with you deadbeats anyway, thank you.

The only one I think I can deal with
is Edgar Allan poe's daughter.

- I think she understands me.
- You leave her alone, you...

Ow!

Go ahead, make my millennium.

Yeah.

I'm feeling a little, uh, ooh, anxious,
if you know what I mean.

It's been about 600 years, after all.

I wonder where a guy,
an everyday Joe like myself...

Can find a little action.

Woman: Hi

yeah.

Woman: Come on. Come on in.

Oh, yeah. Here I come, baby.

Oh, yeah. Hey, Adam, nice move.

- Adam, why did you build that?
- I didn't.

Woman: All new arrivals report
to waiting room number 8.

Will you guys shut up
and leave me alone?

I've got all this paperwork to do.

You two, come in here. Sit down.

Get in here, both of you.

The whorehouse was my idea.
I want betelgeuse out of the picture.

You two have really screwed up.

I received word you allowed yourselves
to be photographed.

And you let betelgeuse out
and didn't put him back.

And you let otho
get hold of the handbook.

The handbook? When?

Never trust the living.

We cannot have
a routine haunting like yours...

Provide proof that there is existence
beyond death.

- Coach. Coach, where's the men's room?
Football player: Yeah

I'm not your coach. He survived.

Football player:
Wait, coach, let me get something straight.

- What's our curfew around here?
- Will you get out of here?

Go on, get downstairs. "Men's room."

Are you kidding? Can't you read signs?

I'll be right back.

Football player:
Come on. Get out of my way.

Maybe this was all a bad idea.

I didn't say anything.

Oh, who are we kidding, Charles”
you've never had a bad idea.

Yeah?

Yeah, this could all work out.

Home.

Though...

I'm not sure that this is
the right environment for Lydia.

- Snakes. Ghosts.
- Shrimp.

You family types.

You've got other things to worry about.
Maxie Dean's coming up here tonight.

You've got to figure out a way to sell
these ghosts. I can only do so much.

What are you gonna do, otho?
Viciously rearrange their environment?

I know just as much about the supernatural
as I do about interior design.

"Am.

Alone."

"Am.

Utterly...

Alone.

By the time...

You read this...

Will.

Be gone...

Having jumped...

Having plummeted...

Off

the winter river bridge."

So I don't care what it takes.

You get the deetzes out of there now.

Woman: Flight 409 arriving.
- Whoa, wait a minute.

Woman: Flight 409 is arriving.
- What are you going to do?

To scare them.

I want to make sure
it's not some silly parlor trick.

I'll go first, honey.

Not bad. Not bad. Now you.

(50 ahead.

Okay, you look great.

Now, go clean house and don't forget
the photographs and the damned handbook.

Woman.
Please report to door number 9.

All new arrivals,
report to waiting room number 8.

Coach? Juno: What?

I don't think we survived that crash.

How did you guess”?

Mr. and Mrs. maitland?

Hello?

- Where are you?
Betelgeuse: Dead.

Dead, dead, deadski.

Of course they're dead. They're ghosts.

No, I mean they're gone. Split.
Out of here. Afterlife kids.

- Deceased.
- Are you a ghost too?

I'm the ghost with the most, babe.

You know, you look like somebody
I can relate to.

Maybe you could help me get out of here,
you know, because...

I gotta tell you,
this, uh, death thing...

It's just too creepy.

See, here's my problem.

I got these friends on the outside
that I said I'd meet.

You know, I have to be there
in person, you know.

So I was just wondering,
could you help me get out of here?

I wanna get in.

Why?

Well, you know...

Hey, you've probably got your reasons,
but I can't do anything from over here.

If you could get me out, over there,
then maybe we could talk or something.

But, you know, in order to do that
you've gotta say my name three times.

What's your name?

- Well, uh, I can't tell you.
- Why not?

Because if I tell you, you'll tell your friends,
they're calling me on the horn all the time.

I've gotta show up at shopping centers for
openings, sign autographs, shit like that.

And it makes my life a hell, okay?
A living hell.

But maybe if you have a pen, maybe
we can... I know. You ever play charades?

- Yeah.
- Good. Good.

Ahh, here we go then. Ready?

- Um, two words.
- Right.

First word, two syllables.

I ook.

You know, just turn around.

I don't know what your signal means.

Turn around and look behind you.

Hi. How are you?

- Beetle.
- Got it. Okay, now, two.

Breakfast”? Orange”? Orange beetle?

Beetle fruit?

Beetle breakfast?

Beetle drink?

Beetle...

Beetle juice?

- Yes. That's it.
- Your name's betelgeuse?

You said it twice.
Just say it once more. Come on.

It was you, wasn't it?

- Wha... 7? Me”?
- The snake.

No, what snake?
You kids and your imagination.

Just say it.

No

I want to talk to Barbara.

No, you don't need to talk to Barbara.
Just say it.

Oh, Adam, I can't go through with it.
I like that little girl.

But, Barbara, honey, it's too late.
We have to go through with this.

No, we don't.
I mean, can't we rebel or something?

Barbara.

Adam, I want to be with Lydia.

Come on. Just say it.

Adam: No!
Barbara: No! Lydia, don't say it.

You. Say it.

It's okay. It's okay. It's us.
What's going on?

- Betel...
- Shh!

He told me that if I let him out he would
take me to the other side to find you.

No, Lydia, we're dead.

- I wanna be dead too.
- No_

Lydia...

Being dead really doesn't
make things any easier.

Listen to her on this, Lydia.
This is something we know a lot about.

And you can come up here
and visit us anytime you want.

I have a feeling things are going to be
7 little better around here from now on.

What do you mean, better?

Well, we've decided that we're going to
invite you and your family to stay.

That's right, Lydia.

Otho: Why can't we bring maxie up here?
- You've got a stake in this too.

This is a presentation. It requires
a sense of occasion, a sense of style.

- It's so big. How will we get it out?
- It's sectional

- wait, there are plugs.
- Careful.

Okay, go.

- What's going on?
- I don't know. I'll go find out.

Be careful

we've got ed cornwall
to head the wax museum.

Dedicated to 50 great moments of the
paranormal here in Thanksgiving park.

Now, you must remember ed, maxie.

He's the genius who gave us the talking
Marcel marceau statue it was a sensation.

And d-con is on its knees
to sponsor the insect zoo...

Here in the old hardware store.

We can't lose.

Lydia, you finally decided to join us.

Honey, I just, uh, finished
the initial presentation.

And now I think it's time
to have a stretch

and to invite our friends
to meet your friends, okay?

Are they here yet?

Charles, we're here to see some ghosts.

They're not here anymore.

Every time she says that,
the paint peels...

And, uh, some wild creature
tries to kill us.

But we have these pictures, Lydia.

No, really. They said they might come back
and we could all live here

if you agreed not to tease them
or make them do stupid tricks.

She has such a tendency to overreact.

Don't worry, we're not relying on her.
We have otho.

- Are they still here, otho?
- Otho, are they still here?

Oh, they're still here.
They're just hiding out.

Probably feel guilty
about what they did to me.

They're sorry they didn't kill you.

Well, I don't know from quilt.
I just wanna see them.

Otho, can you do it?

- It'll be tricky, but I think I can handle it.
- No_

Wait. What am I worried about?
Otho, you can't even change a tire.

I'll be needing
something personal of theirs.

You'll have to go to the goodwill.

Fxcuse me.

The wedding clothes.

The words:

Hands vermilion

start of five

bright cotillion

raven's dive

nightshade's promise

spirits strive

to the living
I et now the dead come alive

Barbara?

Barbara?

As sudden thunder pierces night

as magic wonder mad affright

rives asunder man's delight

our ghost, our corpse

and we rise fo be

oh, no.

Help.

Barbara?

Stop it. Shh!

Lydia: No.

Otho: As flies the lizard

serpent fell

as goblin vizard at the spell

the buried, dead and slain rise again

Barbara?

What's happening to them?

I don't know.

They're dying.

No, they're not. They're already dead.
They can't feel a thing.

- That's not true. Look at them.
Charles: All right, that's enough now.

Can you stop this?

Otho.

It's too late, Charles. I'm sorry.

Where are you? Help them, please.

Sure, I can help them.
But you've gotta help me.

- What?
- Look, I'm what you call an illegal alien.

I want out for good. In order for me
to do that, hey, I gotta get married.

Hey, these aren't my rules. Come to
think of it, I don't have any rules.

Come on. Come on.

Think of it as a marriage of inconvenience.
Okay? We both get something. I get out.

You get to say you're hitched with
the most eligible bachelor since Valentino.

- We're even, babe.
- Okay, just help them.

Sure.

Betelgeuse.

Betelgeuse.

Betelgeuse.

It's showtime.

Attention, kmart shoppers.

Well, I'm back. I feel real good about
myself. You know what I mean? So...

Without further delay...

Welcome to winter river
museum of natural greed.

A monument to the bored businessman.

Come on, a little closer.
Step right up. Test your strength.

Betelgeuse: Thank you.

Thank you.

That is why I won't do
two shows a night anymore, babe.

I won't I won't do them.

Well, what have we
got here tonight, kids?

Well, we've got the, uh, maitlands.

I think they've had enough exercise
for tonight.

Not so fast, round boy.
We're gonna have some laughs.

Otho.

Come on, come on, come on.

Yeah.

Mom, dad:

I just want you two to know
you're welcome in our house...

Anytime you want to come over.

In the meantime,
the dowry's on me, dad.

Well, the maitlands are taken care of.

Everything seems to be
pretty much back to normal, I think.

Shall we?

Called the caterer. He's got a great band.

We're gonna need witnesses. Would you?

Come on. Let's go.
Let's get on with the ceremony.

Do you, betel...

Aah! Uh-uh!

- Nobody says the "b" word. Come on.
Preacher: Do you take this woman...

To be your wedded wife?

Oh, jeez, I don't know.
I mean, it's kind of a big decision.

I always said if I ever did it,
I was gonna do it once and that was it.

Sure. Yeah go ahead.

And you, do you, Lydia, take this man...

No betel...

She's a little bit nervous.
Uh, maybe I should answer for her, okay?

I'm Lydia and I'm of sound mind.

The man next to me is the one I want.
You asked me. I'm answering.

Yes, I love that man of mine.

- Come on.
Preacher: Then by the...

Betel...

Come on. Come on.

Betelgeu...

Hey. Hey. Hey.

Scram.

Come on.

Take a hike.

Preacher:
May we continue with the ceremony?

- Then by...
- Betelgeuse.

- Betelgeuse.
- Oh, gee.

Strike.

Come on, let's get rolling now, rev.

Then by the authority vested in me...

- The ring, please.
- The ring. Oh, no.

Jewelry store. Here.

That's not it.

You know I got it, honey.

Here it is. Here you go.

I'm telling you, honey, she meant
nothing to me. Nothing at all.

- I now pronounce you...
- Yeah, yeah, come on.

Man and...

Ow!

Girl: Bye. Lydia: Bye.

Bye.

- Bye, you guys.
- Bye.

- What time is it, honey?
- It's about 3:30, I guess.

Give or take a year.

Hello?

Well?

Did you get the paints?

Yes. And I took pictures
of the new town hall for you too.

Barbara:
How'd you do on that science test?

It was gross.
They wanted me to dissect a frog.

I told them no way. I said it was
against my religion. So I got a c.

And how about the math test?

You have got to be kidding me. We spent
the whole week studying for that test.

I got an a.

So can I?

Well, I don't know.
Got a c on the science test.

Adam, don't tease her.
You never got on a in science...

Come on.

Well

I suppose.

This thing reads like stereo instructions.

Sounds like Lydia got an a
on the math test jeez!

He likes it.

Hey!

Sorry. Didn't see you sitting there.

Women.

I don't know what her problem is.

Normally, chicks...

Pardon me. Did you do that?

That's very nice work. Let me ask,
how do you get them so sm...?

Hey, there goes Elvis. Yo, king.

Well, looks like I'm next.

Good thing too. I gotta do a photo shoot
for gq in about an hour and a half.

They've been after me for months. Doing some
kind of underwear deal, I don't know...

Hey, what are you doing? Stop it.
You're messing up my hair.

Come on! Whoa! Whoa! Stop it!

Whoal

hey, this might be a good look for me.
