CHARLES half-laughs, half-moans, and sinks back in his chair.<br />
BEETLE JUICE / IRS suddenly appears in the lighted window, and<br />
waves to CHARLES.<br />
INT: THE BARN AND SCULPTURE GALLERY -- NIGHT<br />
DELIA's sculptures, entirely too many of them, have been arranged<br />
for maximum effect.<br />
Two CRITICS stand in front of one of the more characteristic of<br />
DELIA's pieces. They seem to be examining it intently. They<br />
walk around it together. They come back to their original place.<br />
CRITIC #1<br />
Truly magnificent.<br />
CRITIC #2<br />
I know. I have never seen<br />
such a pair of tits on a<br />
sixteen-year-old.<br />
Directly in their sight-line is LYDIA's friend TRIXIE.<br />
TRIXIE gives a disgusted look to the CRITICS, knowing what<br />
they're critiquing. She slouches towards LYDIA.<br />
LYDIA is holding forth to a group of her friends.<br />
LYDIA<br />
He is totally amazing. All<br />
the time I was down at the<br />
train station waiting for him,<br />
he was out <strong>here</strong> with Delia's<br />
creations. Danny Death said<br />
they were realer than real<br />
life.<br />
DEATH ROCKER #1, who was probably LYDIA's boyfriend before she<br />
came across DANNY DEATH, just looks disgusted.<br />
DEATH ROCKER #1<br />
(Sarcastic) God, he's smart.<br />
They look like total pretentious<br />
crap to me.<br />
LYDIA<br />
Danny Death says that Delia<br />
is working from a base of<br />
total alienation.<br />
TRIXIE<br />
So w<strong>here</strong> is he now?<br />
LYDIA<br />
Well, he's got this whole inner<br />
life, and it's the true<br />
reality, and sometimes it's<br />
too much for him to deal<br />
with. So he went to lie<br />
down for a minute.<br />
INT: OTHO'S ROOM -- NIGHT<br />
It's the room w<strong>here</strong> all the guests have thrown their coats, which<br />
are now heaped in a very substantial pile on OTHO's bed.<br />
OTHO comes into the darkened room, and flicks on the light. He's<br />
half-seas over already, and is brushing crumbs from his vest.<br />
OTHO<br />
Oh God, I know it's at<br />
the very bottom of the<br />
pile.<br />
Without regard for any of the other guests, he starts shoving the<br />
other coats on the floor. After a few moments, he own coat is<br />
revealed in all its peculiar splendor.<br />
OTHO tries to lift his coat, but it won't come up from the bed.<br />
OTHO pulls harder, and then sees that two rictored hands have a<br />
vice-grip on the coat. The hood falls back and reveals the<br />
stark, staring, and very deceased face of BEETLE JUICE / OLD<br />
WOMAN.
