BARBARA What's gelloto? CATHY Well, it tastes just like ice cream, but it costs about three times as much. Beverly says she's filling a need and will make a fortune. BARBARA starts looking through the Polaroids. BARBARA Beverly is your mother's friend? CATHY She just moved here, and Beverly's ex-husband and his Chinese boyfriend are moving up next month. They bought the old Baptist Church and are going to set up an Academy of Aerobic Self-Defense. ADAM Defense against what? CATHY Muggers. BARBARA Nobody has ever been mugged in Winter River. CATHY Beverly was. But Mommy says Beverly has a victim complex. ADAM and BARBARA are getting insight into a world they never knew existed. ADAM There certainly have been a lot of changes recently. CATHY Mommy wanted me to remind you about her party on the thirtieth. BARBARA We haven't forgotten. ADAM and BARBARA exchange troubled glances. She leaves. CATHY I think it's really great that all you guys are working together now. I feel like I've got two families. I just wish they could see you the way I can. ADAM Honey, could you go downstairs? Barbara and I need to talk for a few minutes. But come back up in a little while and visit us. CATHY Sure. NOISE OF A MOTORCYCLE -- BARBARA I hope we're doing the right thing. ADAM There was nothing else -- turns their attention towards the model town. They peer down into -- MODEL TOWN -- BEETLE JUICE is riding down Main Street on a Mo-Ped. ADAM and
BARBARA hover above him like titans in the sky. BEETLE JUICE does wheelies, and comes to an abrupt halt. BEETLE JUICE Real cute kid, hunh? He drags down the length of the street. BEETLE JUICE I'm gonna use my imagination on that one. BARBARA'S HAND reaches down into the model, and plucks BEETLE JUICE off the Mo-Ped. The Mo-Ped spins forward and crashes through a doorway in one of the model buildings. BARBARA lifts him up towards her squeezing him slightly. BARBARA I don't know what you've got in mind for their party but leave her out of it. CU: BEETLE JUICE IN BARBARA'S HAND BEETLE JUICE grins. Suddenly large spikes shoot out all over his body, piercing the skin of BARBARA's palm and fingers. BARBARA's blood is a rich pink. She releases the evil spirit and he plummets. BEETLE JUICE parachutes to a soft landing on the town common. BEETLE JUICE Watch it. I can work against you, too. BEETLE JUICE suddenly lightens up. BEETLE JUICE (cont) But don't worry about that little girl. I'm more interested in her sister. INT: EVELYN'S APARTMENT -- NIGHT EVELYN is CHARLES's agent and ex-wife; she is also LYDIA's mother. Her apartment is in a section of Queens recently become fashionable. EVELYN is on the phone to CHARLES. LYDIA stands by, wearing an outfit even more outrageous than before, impatient. EVELYN listens for a moment. She turns to LYDIA. EVELYN (Into telephone) She promises she'll be home by six in the morning, Charles. But I told her I had to check with you first. EVELYN Fine. I'll talk to you tomorrow. EVELYN All right. You can go. If you promise to take taxis, and not use any drugs you didn't bring from home. EXT: RAPTURE -- NIGHT Rapture is the newest and trendiest New York club, located in a deconsecrated church. Four hundred Death Rockers are milling around on the sidewalk, waiting for entrance. Over the door is a banner reading: TONIGHT ONLY / DANNY DEATH. INT: RAPTURE -- NIGHT
