Veronica: Dear Diary, my teen-angst bullshit now has a body count.

- I'm right here. Just hold on.

Veronica: I just killed my best friend.
J.D.: And your worst enemy.
Veronica: Same difference.

Murray: Joyce, there are certain things one can be late to in life. A dentist's appointment. A one-year-old's birthday party, because who cares? Little idiot's not gonna remember it. But for what is essentially a ransom exchange, for that, for that, I think you very much need to be on time! I'm sorry. I'm very tense.
Joyce: Clearly.

[They move far from the other friends]
Melissa: So, last I heard, you were gonna get married
[Takes Rachel's hand but sees no ring]
Melissa: Oh, poor Ray Ray.
Rachel: Oh no, no. That's good, it's all good. I actually work at Ralph Lauren.
Melissa: Shut up!
Rachel: I will not! I'm the divisional head of men's sportswear.
Melissa: Oh, shut up more! Are you friends with Ralph?
Rachel: Oh, please.
Melissa: Are you?

Veronica: What is your damage, Heather?

Nina: Beth! I'm so sorry to hear you're leaving the company.

Beetlejuice: I'm Lydia Deetz and I'm of sound mind. The man next to me is the one I want. You asked me, I'm answering. Yes, I love that man of mine.

Veronica: You know, I have a little prepared speech I tell my suitor when he wants more than I'd like to give him. Gee, blank, I had a really nice...

Joyce: What is your problem? We have had a very long day. We've been shot at, nearly blown up, walked god knows how many miles in 100 degree heat, stole a car, all while being chased by this gigantic psychopath, all so we could bring HIM to YOU because somehow you're the closest person who speaks Russian, which I can't believe but that doesn't matter because unfortunately we're here, so if you don't mind put that thing away, stop behaving like a jackass, and ask him what he's doing that is making my magnets fall off my damn fridge! Please!

Veronica: If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being. You'd be a game-show host.
Heather: Let's knock off early. Buy some shoes. Something lame like that.

Mr. Melvald: Yes, well, of course. Of course.
Joyce: Thank you. Yeah, uh, I was thinking two weeks?
Mr. Melvald: Yes, I understand, but, you know, I have to pay Jeffrey for covering...
Joyce: Donald. I've been here ten years. right? Have I ever called in sick or missed a shift once? I've worked, uh, Christmas Eve and Thanksgiving. I don't know where my boy is. He's gone. I don't know if I'm... gonna ever see him again, if he's hurt... I, uh... I need this phone and two weeks' advance. And a pack of Camels!

Veronica: Hey, Martha. My date for the prom kinda flaked out on me. I was wondering, If you weren't doing anything that night, maybe we could rent some new releases and pop some popcorn.

Veronica: Yeah. Me too.

Lydia: Are you the guys hiding out in the attic?
Adam: We're ghosts!
Lydia: What do you look like under there?
Adam: Aren't you scared?
Lydia: I'm not scared of sheets. Are you gross under there? Are you "Night of the Living Dead" under there? Like all bloody veins and pus?
Adam: Night of the what?
Lydia: Living Dead. It's a movie.
Barbara: You know, if I had seen a ghost at your age I would have been scared out of my wits.

Professor: Yeah, she was in great pain! Then we cut off her head, and drove a stake through her heart, and burned it, and then she found peace.

Joyce: He has a couple of friends, but, you know the kids, they're mean. They make fun of him. They call him names. They laugh at him, his clothes...
Jim: His clothes? What's wrong with his clothes?
Joyce: I don't know. Does that matter?
Jim: Maybe.

Murray: Then he probably met some new friends. And by friends, I mean the KGB. And believe me when I tell you, these people are the worst of the worst. I am talking torture, Joyce. And no matter how strong you think Jim is, they will break him. They will get his whole life story. And yes, that might very well include a planned date at Enzo's with you, his co-conspirator, making this all an elaborate ruse to capture you as well.
Joyce: You just made all that up.

Lydia: They don't wanna come down.
Delia: Charles...
Otho: Why not?
Lydia: I think the reason is, is that they were trying to scare you away, and you didn't get scared.
Delia: Please, they're dead. It's a little late to be neurotic.

Joyce: Is there any way that you could...
- That you could reach will?
- That you could talk to him in this...
- The upside down.
[Whispering] Down. Yeah.
Nancy: And my friend Barbara?
- Can you find her, too?

[last lines]
Kim: She never saw him again. Not after that night.
Granddaughter: How do you know?
Kim: [removes her glasses] Because I was there.
Granddaughter: You could have gone up there. You could still go.
Kim: No, sweetheart. I'm an old woman now. I would rather he remember me the way I was.
Granddaughter: How do you know he's still alive?
Kim: I don't know, not for sure. But I believe he is. You see, before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did. If he weren't up there now... I don't think it would be snowing. Sometimes, you can still catch me dancing in it.

- What we do or don't do won't change the outcome.
- We have to start the burn.
- Where you going?

Joyce: What the hell is taking so long?
- Hey... doctors take forever, always.
- Just try and relax. Just be patient.

Otho: [while Lydia shows them the attic] Fabulous. 'Otho Fenlock's Locked Door Ghosts' Probably committed suicide up there. I'm totally enchanted.
Delia: They're in there? They must live like animals.
Charles: It's locked. How'd they get in?
Delia: [bangs on the door] Open this door, you dead people, or we'll bust it down and we'll drag you out by the ropes you hang yourselves with!
Lydia: Shh! They didn't commit suicide.
Delia: It doesn't matter. Lydia, I have a chance to teach you something here: you have got to take the upper hand in all situations or people, whether they're dead or alive, will walk all over you.

Mina: I love you! Oh, God forgive me, I do!

Yuri: I present you… Kyrzran.
- You see that gray steeple over there?
- That is Yuri's warehouse.
Joyce: Looks like a church.
- Let's see what miracles it holds, yes?

Mina: [watching Lucy flirt with possible suitors at the party, voiceover] Lucy is a pure and virtuous girl. But, I admit that her free way of speaking shocks me sometimes. Jonathan says it is a defect of the aristocracy that they say what they please. The truth is that I admire Lucy, and I'm not surprised that men flock around her. I wish I were as pretty and as adored as she.

Mina: I want to be what you are, see what you see, love what you love.
Dracula: Mina, to walk with me you must die to your breathing life and be reborn to mine.
Mina: You are my love... and my life, always.
Dracula: Then, I give you life eternal. Everlasting love. The power of the storm. And the beasts of the earth. Walk with me to be my loving wife, forever.

Kim: [approaches the neighbors] He's dead. The roof caved in on them. They killed each other. You can see for yourselves. See?
[Kim holds up a fake scissor hand]
Helen: [leaves with the others, sadly] I'm going home.

Lydia: [while eating Cantonese food] I plan to have a stroke from the amount of MSG that's in this food.

[Dracula has been slashed in the throat by Jonathan and impaled by Quincey]
Mina: [to Jonathan] When my time comes, will you do the same to me? Will you?
Jonathan: [pause] No.

Edward: Goodbye.
[Kim kisses Edward]
Kim: I love you.

Veronica: You know what I want, babe?
J.D.: What?
Veronica: Cool guys like you out of my life.

Melissa: Phoebe, were you ever in a sorority?
Phoebe: Of course. Yeah. I was a... Thigh Mega Tampon.
Melissa: What one?
Phoebe: Yeah, you know, we were really huge too. But then they had to shut us down when Regina Phalangie died of alcohol poisoning.

Veronica's: Will someone tell me why I smoke these damn things?
Veronica: Because you're an idiot.
Veronica's: Oh yeah, that's it.

Veronica: Dear Diary: Heather told me she teaches people "real life." She said, real life sucks losers dry. You want to fuck with the eagles, you have to learn to fly. I said, so, you teach people how to spread their wings and fly? She said, yes. I said, you're beautiful.

Melissa: This has been so great Ray Ray, here's my card.
Rachel: Oh wow, thanks. Oh, you're in real estate?
Melissa: Oh no, that's an old card. I wanted to get out of that and do something where I could really help people and make a difference.
Rachel: Wow, well what do you do now?
Melissa: I'm a party planner.

Mina: Take me away from all this death!

Kim: You're here... They didn't hurt you, did they?
[Edward shakes his head]
Kim: Were you scared? I tried to make Jim go back, but, you can't make Jim do anything. Thank you for not telling them that we...
Edward: You're welcome.
Kim: It must have been awful when they told you whose house it was.
Edward: I knew it was Jim's house.
Kim: You... you did?
Edward: Yes.
Kim: ...Well, then why'd you do it?
Edward: Because you asked me to.

Veronica: If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you?
Heather McNamara the Cheerleader: Probably.

Mina: [looking at an illustration of a sexual act in the book "Arabian Nights"] Can a man and a woman really do... that?
Lucy: I did, only last night.
Mina: Fibber! You did not!
Lucy: Yes, I did!
[Mina gasps]
Lucy: Well, in my dreams!

Heather: Suicide is a private thing.
Veronica: You're throwing your life away to become a statistic on U. S. fucking A. Today; that's about the least private thing I can think of.

- You mean...
- You mean, people like Scott Clarke.
- That was a joke.
- Mm. [chuckles]
Joyce: What's that?
- Wait here.

J.D.: Is your life perfect?
Veronica: I'm on my way to a party at Remington University... No, my life's not perfect. I don't really like my friends.
J.D.: I... I don't really like your friends either.
Veronica: Well, it's just like - they're people I work with, and our job is being popular and shit.
J.D.: Maybe it's time to take a vacation.

Jonathan: [Jonathan enters the waiting room and nods to Mike] Yeah.
Mike: [Waking Dustin and Lucas] Guys, guys, he's up. Will's up, guys! Guys come on!
Mike: [Bursting into the hospital room] Byers!
Joyce: [Mike and Lucas pile on Will] Be careful. Be careful with him!
Dustin: Move!
[Yanks Mike and Lucas off Will to hug him]
Jonathan: Guys, guys, go easy on him.
Lucas: You won't believe what happened when you were gone, man.
Dustin: It was mental!
Lucas: You had a funeral...
Dustin: Jenniffer Hayes was crying...
Lucas: And Troy peed himself!
Will: What?
Dustin: In front of the whole school!
Mike: [Will coughs uncontrollably] You okay?
Will: It got me. The Demogorgon.
Mike: We know. It's okay. It's dead. We made a new friend. She stopped it. She saved us. But she's gone now.
Dustin: Her name's Eleven.
Will: Like the number?
Lucas: Well, we call her 'El' for short.
Dustin: She's basically a wizard.
Lucas: [whispering] She has superpowers.
Mike: More like a yoda.
Dustin: She flipped a van with her mind!
Mike: And it sailed over us!
[excited chatter continues]

Joyce: GET THE HELL OUT OF MY SON!

Beetlejuice: You know, you look like somebody I can relate to. Maybe you could help me get out of here, you know, because I got to tell you, this dead thing... it's just too creepy. See, here's my problem. I got these friends I said I'd meet, and it's the kind of thing where I have to be there in person, so could you help me get out of here?
Lydia: I want to get in.
Beetlejuice: Why?... You know, hey, you probably got your reasons. I can't do anything from here. If you could get me out, then maybe we could talk or something.

Joyce: No... I... we're having electrical problems.

Lydia: Mr. and Mrs. Maitland? Hello? Where are you?
Beetlejuice: Dead. Dead, dead, deadski.
Lydia: Of course they're dead. They're ghosts.
Beetlejuice: No, I mean they're gone, split, out of here, afterlife kids, deceased...
Lydia: Are you a ghost, too?
Beetlejuice: I'm a ghost with the most, babe.

Beth: Perfect? I'm not perfect. I'm nothing.

[Mina's breakup letter to Dracula]
Mina: My Dearest Prince, Forgive me. I have received word from my fiance in Romania. I am en route to join him. We are to be married. I will never see you again. Mina

- You're... you're mom.
- Hold him down.
- No! No! Let go! No! No! Let me go! Let go!
- No, let me go!
Joyce: I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- Let me go! Let go! Let me go!
- No! Let go! Let me go! Let me go!

Veronica: She's my best friend. God, I hate her.

Joyce: Maybe I am a mess. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm out of my mind! But, God help me, I will keep these lights up until the day I die if I think there's a chance that Will's still out there!

- Maybe he came home.
[Stammers] You think I didn't check my own house?
- I'm not saying that.
- Has this always been here?
Joyce: What? I don't know.
- Probably. I mean, I have two boys.
- Look at this place.
- You're not sure?

Joyce: Thank God!
- -[helicopters flying overhead]
- -[sobbing]

Yuri: [pretending to be someone else] Yuri was on sightseeing trip to see polar bears. And then bears got into plane and pull him out of cockpit and kill Yuri.
Joyce: No.
Yuri: Yeah. And he loved bears. They broke his heart. Or rather punctured it with their bear claws.

Murray: Wait, can you undress her?
Joyce: What?
Murray: The creepy doll. Can you remove her dress?
Joyce: I don't... Okay.
[undresses the doll]
Joyce: Jesus.
Murray: What?
Joyce: She has nipples.

Veronica: Heather, why can't you just be a friend? Why do you have to be such a mega-bitch?
Heather: Because I can be.

[last lines]
Mina: [narrating] There, in the presence of God, I understood at last how love could release us all from the power of darkness. Our love is stronger than death.
Dracula: Give me peace.
Mina: [impales him with the sword, then kisses him, then beheads him]

Kim: [threatening Jim with Edward's scissors] STOP IT! Or I'll kill you myself!
Jim: [Jim slaps her and kicks her away] Bullshit!
Jim: [to Edward who is approaching Kim] Hey, I said stay away from her!

Veronica: How very.

Veronica: This may seem like a really stupid question...
J.D.: There *are* no stupid questions.
Veronica: You inherit 5 million dollars the same day aliens land on the earth and say they're going to blow it up in 2 days. What do you do?
J.D.: That's the stupidest question I've ever heard.

Adam: You can see us without the sheets?
Lydia: Of course I can see you.
Adam: Well, how is it you see us and nobody else can?
Lydia: Well, I've read through that handbook for the recently deceased. It says: 'live people ignore the strange and unusual". I myself am strange and unusual.
Barbara: You look like a regular girl to me.

Joyce: Anything?
[Hopper] No.
- This place is dead.
- All right, where to next?
Joyce: Hess Farm.

Adam: You've read our book?
Lydia: Yeah.
Adam: You can follow it?
Lydia: Yeah. Why were you guys creeping around in Delia's bedroom?
Adam: We were trying to scare your mother.
Lydia: Stepmother. Anyway, you can't scare her. She's sleeping with Prince Valium tonight.

Charles: As soon as we get settled, we'll build you a darkroom in the basement, okay?
Lydia: My whole life is a dark room. One big dark room.
Delia: So you were miserable in New York City, and now you're going to be miserable out here in the sticks. At least someone's life hasn't been upheaved.

Kim: [as Jim discusses a plan with her] But that's breaking and entering.
Jim: Look, my parents have insurance up the rear, okay? What'll it cost 'em? A little hassle? That's it. A week and my dad will have a new and better everything.
Kim: We can't.
Jim: Look, there's a guy who will give us cash for this stuff.
Kim: Jim, I don't want to.
Jim: What, you don't want us to have our own van like Denny's where we can be by ourselves whenever we'd like, huh? With a mattress in the back?
Kim: Why can't you just do it?
Jim: Because my father keeps the damn room locked. We need Edward to get us in.
Kim: Can't you take the key, like, when he's sleeping or something?
Jim: Look, you don't understand. The only thing he hangs on tighter to is his dick.
[Kim sighs]
Jim: Come on, Kim. Razor blades will do anything for you.
Kim: What do you mean? That's not true.
Jim: No? Why don't you ask him?
Kim: That's not fair.
Jim: What's fair got to do with it? There isn't any other way.
Kim: There's gotta be.
Jim: Look, I've wracked my brain. Do you want us to have our own van?
Kim: [reluctantly] Yeah.

[On the new house]
Lydia: Delia hates it.
[sees a HUGE spider on a web]
Lydia: I could live here.
