Words of Encouragement and Support

- “Need a break?”
- “Yeah, let’s take a break.”
- “Listen, if you ever need to process any of your emotions, I’m here for you.”
Reflections on Life and Relationships
- “Forty years ago. But in my child body, that’s yesterday.”
- “Hey. Must be pretty noisy up here. Yeah? In here, too.”
- “I saw you standing at your grandfather’s grave. He must have been a pretty dope dude. Death is so, like… It’s, like, tragic, you know? I mean, if you ever wanna, you know, cry or just, kind of rage against some of these feelings that you have going on in there, I want you to know that I could be that… kinda dope dad-dude for you. You know?”
- “You know, times like this can bring a family weirdly closer together.”
- “We’re gathered here today to celebrate the life of an extraordinary man. Now, I only had the pleasure of meeting Charles a few times.”

- “This is too much loss.”
- “Oh, my! I was helpfully getting some boxes in town, then I heard you screaming. Are you all right?”
- “Oh, Delia.”
- “Lydia? Who are you yelling at?”
- “Of course. I’d love to. Let’s break through this barrier together.”
On Commitment and Love
- “Lydia, now, I know we had always agreed to take our relationship slowly. But I can’t wait any longer. Let’s get married on your favorite holiday. Will you marry me on Halloween?”
- “Yes. Yes. Yes, because… because as we stand here, surrounded by death… let us all make a commitment to choose life. Because I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Lydia. And you, Delia. And you too. And you. Again. What do you say?”
- “What are we waiting for?”
- “Oh, my God! I thought you got cold feet.”
- “Yeah. Where’s your dress?”
Dealing with the Extraordinary
- “Okay, so you’re saying that someone called Beetlejuice…”
- “Okay. So this… demon is clearly a construct of your unpacked trauma. It’s trauma that you’re gonna need to face, otherwise, it’s just gonna get worse.”
- “I know this is a big step for you. But in the words of Dr. Glickman, I’m gonna give you the push you need. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.”
- “What just happened?”
- “That’s not possible.”
- “(shakily) What the hell?”
- “(terrified) You’re just my unpacked trauma. You’re just my unpacked trauma. You’re a figment of my imagination.”
Behind the Scenes and Production

- “Okay, everybody, that’s lunch!”
- “Lydia… we still have a segment to finish.”
- “I told the movers to come a week from today. All right? I think that’ll give us all time to get over our grief and our trauma. And then, after the wedding, I think we should go back, and we gotta finish those shows.”

- “On the way over here, I wrote a poem for your grandpa.”
- “It’s, it’s, it’s… it starts… It, well, it kinda like opens on grief. Obviously. And then acceptance. It’s long. I didn’t memorize it or anything like that, but it’s quite beautiful.”
