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.
