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.
