Tensions Rise Over Beetlejuice's Chaos
Barbara Adam, why did you build that?
[about the whorehouse (Dante's Inferno) in the model]
Adam I didn't.
Juno Will you guys shut up and leave me alone? I've got all this paperwork to do. You two, come in. Sit down. Get in here, both of ya! The whorehouse was my idea. I want Beetlejuice out of the picture! 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!
[to the football players; to the Maitlands]
Adam When?
Juno Never trust the living! We cannot have a routine haunting like yours provide proof that there is existence beyond death.
[rolls her eyes]
Dumb Football Player Coach? Coach, where's the men's room?

Juno Will you get outta here?! Go on, get downstairs! "Men's room" - are ya kidding? Can't you read signs? I’ll be right back.
[to Adam and Barbara]

A Man's Struggle with Justice and Loss
Joe Wilson Your honor, I am Joseph Wilson.
Court Bailiff Keep your seat!
Judge Daniel Hopkins Go on.
Joe Wilson I know that by coming here, I saved the lives of these 22 people, but that isn't why I'm here. I don't care anything about saving them. They're murderers. I know the law says they're not because I'm still alive, but that's not their fault. And the law doesn't know that a lot of things that were very important to me, silly things maybe, like a belief in justice, and an idea that men were civilized, and a feeling of pride that this country of mine was different from all others. The law doesn't know that those things were burned to death within me that night. I came here today for my own sake. I couldn't stand it anymore. I couldn't stop thinking about them with every step and every breath I took, and I didn't believe Katherine when she said... Katherine is the young lady who was going to marry me. Maybe someday after I've paid for what I did, they'll be a chance to begin again, and then maybe Katherine and I...
Katherine Grant Joe.
Confronting the Reality of Death
Juno What's wrong?

Juno What did you expect? You're dead.
Consequences of Actions and Their Impact
Katherine Grant If those people die, Joe Wilson dies too; you know that, don't you? Wherever you go, whatever you do.
[to Joe]
