Beetlejuice (1988)

Adam Maitland: What are your qualifications?
Beetlejuice: Ah, well, I attended Juliard, I graduated from Harvard Business School, I travel quite extensively, I lived through the Black Plague and I had a pretty good time during that, I've seen The Exorcist about 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it, not to mention the fact that you're talking to a dead guy! NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Beryl: Paranormal? Is that what they're calling your kind these days?
Otho: Don't mind her. She's still upset because somebody dropped a house on her sister.

Adam: Well, how is it that you can see us but nobody else can?
Lydia: Well, I read in that Handbook for the Recently Deceased. It says, "Live people ignore the strange and unusual." I, myself am strange and unusual.
Barbara: You look like a regular girl to me.

Barbara: We're very unhappy.
Juno: What did you expect? You're dead.

Beetlejuice: I'm the ghost with the most, babe.

[Beetlejuice angrily kicks a model tree and it falls over.]
Beetlejuice: Nice fucking model!

Lydia: They don't want to come down.
Otho: Why not?
Lydia: I think the reason 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.

Adam: This book reads like stereo instructions. Listen to this. Geographical and temporal perimeters. Functional perimeters vary from manifestation to manifestation.

Bernard: Delia, you are a flake. You have always been a flake. If you insist on frightening people, do it with your sculpture.

Beetlejuice: It's showtime.
