- Lydia Deetz: [discovers the only way to get rid of skeletons in the closet is to tell the truth] I'll tell my parents the truth about the skunk.
- Skeleton: [appears before Charles] Lydia lied -
- [disappears]
- Charles Deetz: [half asleep] Delia's cooking.
- Beetlejuice: Every time you tell a lie, you get a skeleton in your closet. Most closets can hold about a dozen skeletons. My closet... well it can hold more, that's why I moved here.
- Beetlejuice: I've never told the truth in my life, even after.
- Lydia Deetz: Beetlejuice!
- Beetlejuice: I don't even tell the truth about things I'm proud of.
- Lydia Deetz: [releasing the skunk into the wild] Goodbye little Stinky! Well, that's one skeleton out of my closet.
- Beetlejuice: Yeah, but it'll never smell the same.
- Charles Deetz: [enters Lydia's room half asleep, sees Beetlejuice pulling a scary face] Bad dream?
- Lydia Deetz: Uh, yeah.
- Charles Deetz: Yours? Or mine?
- Lydia Deetz: Um, mine, Father.
- Charles Deetz: Good.
- [turns and leaves]
- Beetlejuice: [loses the bug he was about to eat] You made me lose my lunch!
- Lydia Deetz: [excited] Really?
- [jumps up and down on her bed]
- Lydia Deetz: Then my funny face was gross! Gross enough for the 24 hour gross out game show?
