Beetlejuice Scene 26 Summary

Lightheaded

  • In the afterlife waiting room, Betelgeuse is sitting with the rest of the ghouls.
  • He runs his hand along a woman's leg and she smacks him, so he changes seats. Usually the ladies dig him. What gives?
  • He tries to talk to a guy with a shrunken head, but no luck. This is gonna be a really long wait.
  • Betelgeuse looks down at his number. He's got 9,998,383,750,000. They are currently serving number 3.
  • Ah, but the guy sitting next to him is number 4 in line. Betelgeuse thinks fast and shouts that he thinks he sees Elvis. He switches the numbers. When the guy next to him turns to look.
  • This doesn't trick his neighbor though. The guy takes a little dust out of his pouch and sprinkles it on Betelgeuse's head, which makes it shrink down.
  • Hey, maybe this could be a good look for him?
