BETELGEUSE: You could use a buddy, don't you want a pal? "Yes I do! Yes I do!" Boy, the way I see it
Your daddy should be leavin' and you should stick around. (spoken) And kill him!

LEVI, spoken: What?

MADDIE, spoken: Nothing. (sung) So, Levi, don't end yourself, defend yourself. Daddy is the one you should maim, together we'll exterminate, assassinate.

LEVI: No!

BETELGEUSE: The finer points can wait, but first you gotta say my name! Go ahead and jump but that won't stop him, here you got a solid plan B option. I can bring your daddy so much pain, all you gotta do is say my name. Boy, just say it three times in a row and you won't believe how far I'll go. I'm on the bench, but Coach—just put me in the game, all you gotta do is say my name.

LEVI, spoken: I don't know your name.

MADDIE, spoken: Well, I can't say it.

LEVI, spoken: How 'bout a game of charades?

BETELGEUSE, spoken: Yes, let's play it!

LEVI, spoken: Two words...

MADDIE, spoken: Right.

LEVI, spoken: Second word?

BETELGEUSE, spoken: Uh-huh.

LEVI, spoken: Drink and alive?

MADDIE, spoken: No.

LEVI, spoken: Bug and angry?

BETELGEUSE, spoken: No.

LEVI, spoken: Ant and furious?

MADDIE, spoken: Close, but no.

LEVI, spoken: Beetle and Mad?

BETELGEUSE, spoken: Yes!

LEVI, spoken: Beetle-juice and Mad-die?

MADDIE, spoken: Wow, I'm impressed. And all you gotta do is say my name three times. Three times in a row, it must be spoken unbroken. Ready?

LEVI, spoken: Yeah...

BETELGEUSE, spoken: Okay, go.

LEVI, spoken: Betelgeuse and Maddie...

MADDIE, spoken: Yes...

MADDIE, spoken: Oh! Oh! This is gonna be so good!

LEVI, spoken: —cause!

BETELGEUSE, spoken: What?

LEVI: You're so smart, a stand-up bro and gal. I'll think about your offer, let you know. But I prefer my chances down below. Betelgeuse and Maddie.

MADDIE, spoken: Yes!

LEVI: Betelgeuse and Maddie.

BETELGEUSE, spoken: Yes!

LEVI: Being young and male, doesn't mean that I'm an easy mark. I've been swimmin' with piranhas, I don't need a shark. Yes, life sucks, but not that much. Okay, Betelgeuse and Maddie, Betelgeuse and Maddie, be a doll and spare the lecture.
