In mossy skulls that nest and lie<br />
Ever singing "Die, Oh die!"<br />
When BEETLE JUICE / DANNY DEATH finishes, t<strong>here</strong>'s a moment of<br />
awed silence. Then as the applause begins, BEETLE JUICE / DANNY<br />
DEATH walks off stage, leading LYDIA away.<br />
In the audience, LYDIA's friends watch with astonishment.<br />
FRIEND #1<br />
Wait'll he finds out she<br />
lives in Connecticut.<br />
FRIEND #2 takes out his lighter in order to light his cigarette.<br />
When he flicks the light, an enormous jet of BRIGHT BLUE FLAME<br />
bursts out. Everyone draws back.<br />
FRIEND #3<br />
Blue flame. That means<br />
t<strong>here</strong>'s an evil spirit<br />
present.<br />
All their eyes drift in the direction of BEETLE JUICE / DANNY<br />
DEATH and LYDIA, who have made their way to the bar.<br />
AT THE BAR --<br />
BEETLE JUICE / DANNY DEATH has bought LYDIA and himself a Coke.<br />
BEETLE JUICE / DANNY DEATH<br />
What are you doing next Saturday<br />
night?<br />
LYDIA<br />
I'm giving a party. (Beat)<br />
Would you like to come?<br />
BEETLE JUICE / DANNY DEATH hesitates.<br />
LYDIA<br />
(Sounding like the<br />
sixteen-year-old she is)<br />
We're gonna have real<br />
ghosts.<br />
BEETLE JUICE / DANNY DEATH<br />
Wouldn't miss it.<br />
EXT: MAIN STREET, WINTER RIVER -- DAY<br />
It is a billiant fall day, as the DEETZ's silver BMW turns onto<br />
Main Street.<br />
Main Street is showing evidence of the first incursions of<br />
Manhattan. While it is still charming and unpretentious for the<br />
most part, BEVERLY'S GELOTTO, with its arrogant, high-tech<br />
exterior, bodes ill for the future of this small town Main<br />
Street.<br />
INT: DEETZ'S BMW -- DAY<br />
DELIA driving, LYDIA in the front seat, CATHY in the back,<br />
looking out of the window.<br />
LYDIA<br />
Delia, he was great. I<br />
mean, the audience was<br />
totally silent, and he<br />
had this neon violin,<br />
and he pulled me up on<br />
stage, and we talked<br />
all night long, and he<br />
promised he'd come to<br />
the party, and I have<br />
him directions and<br />
everything, and he said<br />
he might even sing.<br />
DELIA<br />
Well, we don't want to<br />
steal focus from Cathy's<br />
ghosts. But maybe we<br />
could set up something<br />
out in the barn. He<br />
could use my sculptures<br />
and do a kind of<br />
environmental piece.
