Beetlejuice
Movie Quote Quiz

Beryl: Paranormal? Is that what they're calling your kind these days?

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?

Beetlejuice: Alright, let's get down to business! I got a card around here somewhere. Here, here, who do I have to kill? Here, hold that for me, would you?

Adam Maitland: You don't have to kill anybody!
Beetlejuice: Ah! Possession! Good! [Beetlejuice's voice comes out of Barbra's mouth] Learn to throw your voice. Fool your friends! Fun at parties!

Revealing mistake: When Barbara and Adam are digging up Beetlejuice's grave, you can see that a piece of cardboard states "FRAGILE" or something in small print which is proportional to Barbara and Adam at that time.
