CATHY:
What?
CHARLES:
I just did a four-book
contract with lay-backs
to hard cover, with
eight and ten breaking
at a hundred and fifty.
You know what that means?
CATHY:
No.
CHARLES:
You're going to be the only
girl in the fourth grade
with your own Limited
Partnership Real Estate
Tax Shelter.
TELEPHONE rings, and CHARLES instantly puts CATHY down and
answers the telephone. CATHY rungs out.
CHARLES:
Hello?
INT:
ATTIC -- DAYADAM and CATHY are poring over the model. ADAM is looking at a
series of Polaroid photographs that CATHY has brought in.
CATHY:
taking pictures of everything,
I told them it was a school
project.
BARBARA comes up.
ADAM:
Here's a headline for you.
A friend of Cathy's mother
just bought our appliance store,
and turned it into a Jello
stand.
CATHY:
Not jello. Gelloto.
BARBARA:
What's gelloto?
CATHY:
Well, it tastes just like ice
cream, but it costs about three
times as much. Beverly says
she's filling a need and will
make a fortune.
BARBARA starts looking through the Polaroids.
BARBARA:
Beverly is your mother's friend?
CATHY:
She just moved here, and
Beverly's ex-husband and his
Chinese boyfriend are moving up
next month. They bought the
old Baptist Church and are going
to set up an Academy of Aerobic
Self-Defense.
ADAM:
Defense against what?
CATHY:
Muggers.
BARBARA:
Nobody has ever been mugged in
Winter River.
CATHY:
Beverly was. But Mommy says
Beverly has a victim complex.
ADAM and BARBARA are getting insight into a world they never knew
existed.
ADAM:
There certainly have been
a lot of changes recently.
CATHY:
Mommy wanted me to remind
thirtieth.
BARBARA:
We haven't forgotten.
ADAM and BARBARA exchange troubled glances.
CATHY:
that all you guys are working
together now. I feel like
I've got two families. I just
wish they could see you the
way I can.
ADAM:
Honey, could you go downstairs?
Barbara and I need to talk for
a few minutes. But come back
up in a little while and visit
us.
CATHY:
Sure.
She leaves.
BARBARA:
I hope we're doing the right
thing.
ADAM:
There was nothing else --
NOISE OF A MOTORCYCLE --
turns their attention towards the model town. They peer down
into --
MODEL TOWN --
BEETLE JUICE is riding down Main Street on a Mo-Ped. ADAM and
BARBARA hover above him like titans in the sky.
BEETLE JUICE does wheelies, and comes to an abrupt halt.
BEETLE JUICE:
Real cute kid, hunh?
He drags down the length of the street.
BEETLE JUICE:
I'm gonna use my imagination
on that one.
BARBARA'S HAND reaches down into the model, and plucks BEETLE
JUICE off the Mo-Ped. The Mo-Ped spins forward and crashes
through a doorway in one of the model buildings.
BARBARA lifts him up towards her squeezing him slightly.
BARBARA:
I don't know what you've
got in mind for their party
but leave her out of it.
CU:
BEETLE JUICE IN BARBARA'S HANDBEETLE JUICE grins. Suddenly large spikes shoot out all over his
body, piercing the skin of BARBARA's palm and fingers. BARBARA's
blood is a rich pink.
She releases the evil spirit and he plummets. BEETLE JUICE
parachutes to a soft landing on the town common.
BEETLE JUICE:
Watch it. I can work
against you, too.
BEETLE JUICE suddenly lightens up.
BEETLE JUICE (cont)
little girl. I'm more
interested in her sister.
INT:
EVELYN'S APARTMENT -- NIGHTEVELYN is CHARLES's agent and ex-wife; she is also LYDIA's
mother. Her apartment is in a section of Queens recently become
fashionable.
EVELYN is on the phone to CHARLES. LYDIA stands by, wearing an
outfit even more outrageous than before, impatient.
EVELYN:
(Into telephone) She
promises she'll be home
by six in the morning,
Charles. But I told her
I had to check with you
first.
EVELYN listens for a moment.
EVELYN:
Fine. I'll talk to you
tomorrow.
She turns to LYDIA.
EVELYN:
All right. You can go.
If you promise to take
taxis, and not use any
drugs you didn't bring
from home.
