jail unless they're able<br />

to prove fraud.<br />

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.
