INT: ATTIC -- NIGHT<br />
In shadows, CATHY stands over the model. Some of it survives,<br />
some it was sheered off in BEETLE JUICE's ascension.<br />
LYDIA, CHARLES, and DELIA come silently into the room, and stand<br />
together, looking at the miniature version of their own home.<br />
SLOW FADE OUT<br />
CHARLES<br />
We have two choices.<br />
We can stay and try to<br />
put this house together<br />
again. Or we can move<br />
back to New York.<br />
SLOW FADE IN:<br />
EXT: HOUSE -- DAY<br />
We hear a CHEERLEADER's voice:<br />
LYDIA<br />
Two Four Six Eight<br />
Winter River's Really Great<br />
LYDIA DEETZ is on the front lawn of the house -- now rempaired,<br />
but with a huge skylight in the middle of the roof. LYDIA is<br />
wearing the WINTER RIVER BADGERS cheerleader uniform, and carries<br />
two pompoms. But she still bears remnants of her DEATH ROCKER<br />
make-up, and wears her finger bone necklace.<br />
In the BACK YARD of the house, CHARLES DEETZ is tending the<br />
replanted orchard. At the same time, he is dictating the fifth<br />
in a series of occult novels, into a Walkman-like dictaphone.<br />
CHARLES<br />
Aghast, I turned to look into<br />
his face. His features had<br />
begun to melt. He was turning<br />
into a corpse before my stunned<br />
but courageous eyes...<br />
INT: LIVING ROOM -- DAY<br />
Repaired, and now decorated by someone with much more taste than<br />
OTHO. But the water clock, in an improved and expanded version,<br />
still holds forth.<br />
CATHY's on her way upstairs carrying a glass of iced tea.<br />
INT: SECOND FLOOR SEWING ROOM -- DAY<br />
The 80's equivalent of BARBARA's sewing room. DELIA is at a work<br />
bench, hard at work on some extremely small object, using a<br />
magnifying glass, and a mini-acetylene torch.<br />
CATHY comes in with the iced tea.<br />
CATHY<br />
You wanted lemon in your<br />
tea, didn't you?<br />
DELIA<br />
Yes. Thank you dear.<br />
Voila. It's done. You<br />
can take it upstairs.<br />
CATHY<br />
(A little uncertainly)<br />
Great.<br />
INT: ATTIC -- DAY<br />
The model town is in the process of being repaired. It is<br />
apparent that this is now CATHY's bedroom.<br />
CATHY takes the small object that DELIA gave her, and takes it<br />
over to the model. With a pair of jewelry pliers she very<br />
carefully sets it on the front porch of the MAITLAND's home.<br />
We get a look at it now, and it's a miniature version of DELIA's<br />
water clock.
