Beetlejuice Page #3

BARBARA:

What's the prize?

JANE:

Your flag cake. That's why

I wanted to make sure you

got it right.

BARBARA:

Adam and I will take just two

tickets. It wouldn't look good

if we won our own cake.

JANE:

There's something else I want

to talk to you about.

(Beat) How would you like

to be rich beyond your wildest

dreams?

BARBARA:

Jane, Adam and I are --

JANE:

Don't tell me that you're

already rich in the things that

matter, because, believe me,

the things that matter are not

the things that really matter.

BARBARA:

Last week we could get four

hundreds thousand for the house.

How much do you think we could

get for it this week?

JANE:

Five. No question. This house is a

Property of Quality and Distinction.

EXT:
ORCHARD -- DAY

Small pear and apple trees. The pears are bearing now, the apple

trees not yet. This is an idyllic setting -- but is is also

functional and modest.

Birds are singing in the trees.

ADAM is standing in the middle of the orchard, filling up his

basket with pears.

From the edge of the forest, a young deer peers out at ADAM, and

after a moment's hesitation, creeps out and into the orchard.

ADAM reaches forward with a pear, and the deer takes it out of

his hand.

At this moment, a lovable COLLIE runs up to ADAM, but stops short

when he catches sight of the deer. The COLLIE looks up at the

deer, and the deer looks down at the COLLIE.

The deer slowly turns off, back towards the forest.

ADAM:

You watch out for those men

with the guns.

With the deer gone off, the COLLIE throws himself at ADAM's feet,

and rolls over on his back. Kicking off one of his Hush Puppies,

ADAM rubs the dog's belly with his stockinged foot.
