That video was from ‘the late 1970s’ and this Beetlejuice quote is from 1988:

  • 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.

so a decade and it’s nicely culture addicted -sigh-

The doctors need prescriptions
The wives need their pills
