Watching Beetlejuice: The Musical

Barbara 2.0

'So, is this all about Babs?' asked Beetlejuice 'Cause it'll be a pretty boring song, all about pottery' then he grinned 'and maybe also about how sexy Adam is'

'Beej, how bout you shut up, and we'll find out' advised Barbara, Beetlejuice opened his mouth, but decided against it when he saw the look on Barbara's face and slowly the demon made his way back into the pillow fort. 

Barbara:
Look at this stuff
God, it's depressing

'All of it?' asked Lydia, glancing up at the Maitlands 

'Nearly all of it, yeah' said Barbara 'Its the stuff of our lives, and its actually pretty sad to look at it all, with all the memories and reminders of what we can't do anymore' 

'Oh' said Lydia 'That makes sense'

'Also, theres a heap of junk there' laughed Barbara 

Adam (spoken):
You don't like this stuff?
Barbara, this is our stuff...

Barbara:
A shrine to the feelings
We've been repressing

Adam (spoken):
Well, then maybe we should go

'Don't leave me!' cried Lydia, throwing herself out of the fort 

'We won't' laughed Adam 'Stop being so dramatic'

'Yeah Lyds, thats my job' said Beetlejuice, grabbing the girls leg and dragging her back inside the fort

Barbara:
Unfinished projects
Meaningless objects
Plans I abandoned or quit
It's the stuff of our lives
And all of it's shit

'Ooh, second time Barbara Maitland's sworn in this musical!' said Beetlejuice, then he looked at Barbara 'Ya know Babs, I don't think I've ever heard you swear before, in real life/death' 

'Thats because she doesn't swear infront of you' said Adam 'You should've heard her in high school, when stuff didn't go right. She openly swore infront of the teachers'

Adam (spoken):
What? Barbara?!

'Even Adam was shocked' laughed Delia 

Barbara:
Books on computers
A "spin-your-own-yarn" kit?

Adam (spoken):
Okay, that... Wasn't as much fun as I thought it'd be...

'You guys are such parents' said Lydia

Barbara:
Home-brewed kombucha
That tasted like armpit

'How do you know what armpit tastes like?' asked Beetlejuice 'Because I do, and let me tell you, it doesn't actually taste too bad'

Adam (spoken):
We are not kombucha people
We did find that out

'Everyone has different taste buds' said Delia 

Barbara:
Take it and trash it
Burn it or smash it
We have to adapt to survive

'Adam's small what is adorable' said Lydia 

We can be fighters
With fire inside us
We're more than detritus
We're finally alive!
The Barbara you married
She is dead and buried

'Am I allowed to do that?' asked Lydia, turning to her parents 'I want to smash a painting, that woman is so lucky doing that every night, it looks so satisfying' 

Six feet below

'I'm gonna learn to sing this' announced Beetlejuice 'I could dress up in a green dress, wear a wig, get the boots and sing this song'
