DELIA:
Business friends
I have only known this amazing, amazing man and his unique daughter for a few months
I don't even know how many
I'd have to check my pay stubs
But, as my guru Otho always says-
Day-O!

CHARLES:
What?

LYDIA:
What's going on Delia?
Are you alright?

DELIA:
Um, I-I am so sorry
I don't-I don't know what just happened
I meant to say-
Me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-o!

CHARLES:
Delia?
Do you need to lie down?

DELIA:
No! No, I just need to-
Daylight come and me wanna go home
What is happening to me?

CHARLES:

MAXIE:

On behalf of Delia and myself, I'd just like to say-
Work all night on a drink of rum

It's like I told you Dad
This house is haunted
And the ghosts who live here

If I had known-

MAXIE:
Chuck, you moron! Don't apologize! We're gonna be rich!

CHARLES:

LYDIA:

MAXIE:
I was never gonna invest in your stupid "gated community"
But a genuine haunted house?
It's a goldmine!

LYDIA:
No!

CHARLES:
Do you hear that Delia?
These ghosts are gonna make us a fortune!

LYDIA:
No, you're supposed to be scared!

ADAM:

There's one thing that can still stop him

BARBARA:

You don't know what will happen

LYDIA:
I can't keep living like this!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
I'm so glad you changed your mind
You are never gonna regret this

LYDIA:
Beetlejuice...

BEETLEJUICE:
We are gonna make such a great team!
Give me just one... more...

LYDIA:
Beetlejuice!

BEETLEJUICE:
It's showtime!
It's our house now, kid!

LYDIA:
Whoa...

BEETLEJUICE:
Looks like we're not invisible anymore!
