Here is a collection of memorable Delia Quotes from the iconic Beetlejuice Movie franchise.
Delia on Art
Careful! That’s my sculpture. I don’t mean ‘my’ as in ‘I bought it.’ I mean I made it. Put it on the table.
Charles, I will not stop living and breathing art just because you need to relax. I’m here with you. I will live with you in this hellhole. But I must express myself. If I can’t gut this house and make it my own, I will go insane and I will take you with me!
We could become the Summer Art Center of New York. I could start sculpting again. I’m only truly happy when I’m sculpting.
Why are there only three sculptures? There were four sculptures. Where’s the fourth?
Why are you doing this to me? This is my art and it is dangerous. Do you think I want to die like this?
What money? Don’t you believe in my work?
I’m trying to capture the perfect primal scream. I’m gonna blow it up, mount it on the wall, and I invite all of you to do the same.
Okay, see, that’s why schools need more art and less reading.
Delia on Relationships
With Charles
You left the city for me. I am so happy.
You were miserable in New York City, and now you’re going to be miserable out here in the sticks. At least someone’s life hasn’t been upheaved.
I’ve never hosted anything without Charles standing there. Watching me. In awe.
Then I can tell you he didn’t want any speeches. Charles hated public displays of emotion.
I’m not dead! My husband’s here. Charles Deetz. Yes, he can fix this. You call him, he can fix this, he can fix anything.
No, you won’t. I’ll find Charles and we’ll haunt you both, until you beg us to move on!
Oh, Charles, look what happened to me!
He bought this house without telling me.
You blamed me for your mother’s.
With Lydia
It’s a little private joke Lydia and I share.
Yes, it is. Just today she tried to convince me this house is haunted. Kids! You know, I love them!
Lydia, you agreed to marry him?
(mouthing) I recall the yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave…
Delia’s Reactions
To the Supernatural
They died. Oh look, an indoor outhouse.
Yeah, the ghosts of the people who died in this house, and they want us out of here! Let’s do them a favor.
Ghosts. You’re telling me we have ghosts in this house. Those pictures are of ghosts. Ghosts! Lydia, I am giving a dinner party tonight for seven people. My agent, Bernard, is bringing a woman who writes for Art in America. In fact, no one dining here has not been in Vanity Fair except you.
Please, they’re dead. It’s a little late to be neurotic.
This was not a hallucination. This was real. We all experienced a super-powerful paranormal experience, and it was real.
Open this door, you dead people, or I’ll bust it down and drag you out by the ropes you hanged yourselves with!
I have never been so embarrassed. Are they gone for good?
No ghosts here. Come on! If they are in here, I don’t want to scare them away. We’re leaving now. You can go about your business.
Where have you been? I think I’ve cried all the water out of my body.
What the hell? Where am… What? No. No. No! No! No! Excuse me! What if a mistake’s been made? Because I’m not supposed to be here. Seriously? No. I have global entry. Is there a line for that?
Sorry, sorry I just… I’ll… I… Come right back, I just… Excuse me. Just… Um, sorry, I’m just, uh, late for a wedding. Hi, yes, one question, how do I get out of here? Because someone made a terrible mistake.
No, wait! Wait, I know people! Oh! I know people! I am people! Why’s… No. Beetlejuice. Oh, no. Beetlejuice.
What?! Why?! No! No! No!
Oh, my God, it’s you! I thought a moose was about to attack me.
(gasps) Oh. You’re calling off the wedding?
To Other Situations
A little gasoline. Blowtorch. No problem.
I noticed that, too. It’s like a giant ant farm. What?
I can’t believe we’re eating Cantonese. Is there no Szechuan up here?
This is our first meal in this house, so let’s try to make it a pleasant one.
Tell me what you do, and I’ll tell you why my husband will fire you.
Don’t you dare speak to others about me! Being embarrassed in front of the few people who will set foot in here scares me. So let’s play family just for tonight, hmm?
No! I am sick of that subject.
Enough! I’ll handle this. Astrid! Astrid! Astrid! Stop torturing your mother. I know I usually find it funny, and only fair after the way she treated me when she was your age. But not today! Your mummy’s lost her daddy. You’ve lost your grandpa. And I’ve lost my… horny handyman. Charles. Charles! Oh, Charles!
What? Oh. Your father’s left me.
What a horrible thought. No! He’s dead!
Yes, he flew halfway around the world to watch birds do it on a beach. And it killed him!
Oh. Must we? She’s already such a morbid little thing.
What did that cheese ball do now?

Well, you’re free to reject your inheritance when you’re living high off a tree hugger’s salary.

No, you see, those asps, they were defanged. I paid extra for that.
Yeah. So, I died of embarrassment.
Oh, my, it’s you! I thought a moose was about to attack me.
(smacks lips) She doesn’t mean it. It’s just karma.
