[That next day, the moving men were setting up things for the house.]

Delia: Tell me what you do and I'll tell you why my husband will fire you.

[Ths Maitlands were upstairs watching]

Barbara: Isn't there an index?

Adam: No, nothing.

[A paper falls out of the book.]

Adam: What's this?

Delia: Why are there only three sculptures? There were four sculptures. Where's the fourth sculpture?

[A crane is lifting up the fourth sculpture.]

Delia: What are you doing?!

[The dead couple see a paper that read 'Betelgeuse.']

Adam: (reads paper) 'Betelgeuse, the bio-exorcist. Troubled by the living? Is death a problem and not the solution? Unhappy with eternity? Having difficulty adjusting? Call Betelgeuse.'

Barbara: There's no number or instructions?

Adam: Nothing. The 'bio-exorcist.' I don't get it.

[Downstairs Charles was walking by some men]

Charles: Why don't you take a break for half an hour?

[He went into the kitchen to make his coffee, when the fourth sculpture burst in through the window.]

Delia: Put that down!

Charles: What the hell are you doing?

Delia: Listen to me! (sculpture drops down)

Charles: Jesus!

Delia: Why are you doing this to me? This is my art and it is dangerous. Do you think I want to die like this?

[Lydia was outside taking pictures when she looked up and suddenly spotted the couple, shocking her. Jane drove up to the house.]

Barbara: That little girl saw us.

Adam: Nobody can see us.

Barbara: But she did.

Adam: Better get rid of this Betelgeuse paper before she or her friends see it.

[Adam crumples the paper into a ball and throws it outside of the window.]

Lydia: What happened to the previous owners?

Jane's Daughter: They drowned.

Jane: Yes, they were family. I was devastated. Here, take that. (hands her a key)

Lydia: Is this the key to the attic?

Jane: That's a skeleton key that will open any door. Give that to your father. You might mention I single-handedly decorated that house. If he needs any advice in that area, have him come see me.

[Inside the house, Lydia walks up to the attic door.]

Adam: Don't worry. I locked the door.

[As they try to bar the door shut, the TV comes on and shows a commercial.]

Beetlejuice: (on TV) Havin' trouble with the livin'? You're tired of having your home violated? You wanna to get rid of them pesky living critters once and for all? Well, come on down and see me, folks. Cause I'm the afterlife's leading bio-exorcist. Yes, sirree! Come on down here and I wanna tell you, I'll do anything! I'll scare 'em real bad. The point is I'll do anything to get your business. Hell! I'll possess myself if I gotta! Yo! I got demons runnin' all through me. Come on down here and see it. And hey, if you act now, you get a free demon possession with every exorcism. You can't beat that, can you? Bring the little partners. Hell. We've got plenty of snakes for them to play with no problem at all. So, say it once, say it twice, third time's a charm. And remember... I'll eat anything you want to me to eat. I'll swallow anything you want me to swallow. So, come on down, I'll chew on the dog. (Howls like a dog)
