Quote #7
JUNO: What's wrong?
BARBARA: We're very unhappy.
JUNO: What did you expect? You're dead.
Another running joke: they're not so much unhappy about being dead as they are about the Deetzes remodeling their house.
Quote #8
LYDIA: They don't wanna come down.
DELIA: Charles...
OTHO: Why not?
LYDIA: I think the reason is, is that they were trying to scare you away, and you didn't get scared.
DELIA: Please, they're dead. It's a little late to be neurotic.
Why do you think Delia's so unfazed about ghosts in the house?
Quote #9
JUNO: You two have really screwed up! I received word that you allowed yourselves to be photographed. And you let Betelgeuse out and didn't put him back. And you let Otho get hold of The Handbook!
ADAM: The Handbook? When?
JUNO: Never trust the living! We cannot have a routine haunting like yours provide proof that there is existence beyond death.
If the powers that be over in the Death Bureaucracy are so worried about someone accidentally providing proof that there's life beyond death, then maybe they shouldn't leave so many new dead people alone to fend for themselves.
