Beetlejuice (1988)

Question: During the dinner party, Bernard's wife compliments the Deetzes on what they've done with the house. Then Otho tells Beryl (beside him) that he hopes it wasn't one of her attempts at ending her life. I don't understand - is he changing subjects or does this have something to do with the new house?

Answer: Otho was having a separate conversation with her, of which part was cut from the film. The shooting script has a part where he asks her why she was in the hospital recently, since the reason she gave was a lie.
