The Film[]
- The moment when the Maitlands realize that they're dead is pretty tear-inducing - especially considering that, seconds earlier, they'd been talking about continuing to try and have a child during this vacation.
 |
Adam: "Barb, honey... we're dead. I don't think we have anything to worry about anymore." |
 |
- The reason the Maitlands are so protective of Lydia is probably because, now that they're dead, mentoring her is the closest they'll ever get to raising their own child.
- The Maitlands discovering that they've been in the waiting room for three whole months.
|
Adam: (realizes the room they're in is their own living room) "Barb...we're home." |
|
- Even before meeting the Maitlands, Lydia was already unhappy with her life. When Betelgeuse attacks her, her parents and Otho, she thinks the Maitlands sent him. This supposed betrayal is what convinces her that suicide is the only answer to her problems.
The Animated Series[]
The Comic Books[]
- In "This Is Your Lice", Delia hires a hypnotist who induces Lydia into losing interest in strange and freaky things, and to behave more like a typical teenager. That's bad enough, but this somehow also causes her to forget that Beetlejuice even exists. Once Beetlejuice realizes what's happened, he's absolutely distraught; he says he's going to "cry my eyes out", noting that "I'm nowhere without my pal Lydia, and now she'll never call my name three times again!".
