| [00:04.351] | BETELGEUSE: Okay |
| [00:05.654] | Listen up, I'm not gonna lie |
| [00:08.728] | Right now, you couldn't frighten a fly |
| [00:11.885] | Or scare a seagull off of a fry |
| [00:15.310] | You ever stop to ask yourselves "why?" |
| [00:18.990] | Both of you are super polite |
| [00:22.409] | Middle class, suburban, and white |
| [00:25.303] | Well, all of that is finished tonight |
| [00:28.437] | Except for the white part, obviously |
| [00:31.057] | Take your places |
| [00:32.975] | I want scary faces |
| [00:34.244] | Now go! |
| [00:35.021] | Bigger |
| [00:35.283] | Further |
| [00:35.792] | Harder |
| [00:37.072] | Not bad |
| [00:37.602] | Sever a head |
| [00:39.155] | Preferably someone you know |
| [00:40.996] | BARBARA, spoken: Look at me, I'm so scary. |
| [00:44.359] | BETELGEUSE: Don't be so vanilla |
| [00:45.684] | Would a little anger kill ya? |
| [00:47.243] | C'mon, drop your panties |
| [00:49.062] | I'm trying to fill ya |
| [00:50.633] | With wisdom and skill |
| [00:51.937] | And the instinct to kill |
| [00:53.511] | ADAM, spoken: Again, we do not want to kill anyone! |
| [00:55.870] | BETELGEUSE, spoken: Fine! |
| [00:56.635] | But somehow, someway, you gotta make 'em see ya. |
| [00:59.515] | I'm talkin' jump-scares, the jerky Japanese ghost-walk. Plus— |
| [01:03.202] | Learn to throw your voice! Fool your friends! Fun at parties! |
| [01:06.080] | ADAM, spoken: Now THAT is cool! I wanna do that! |
| [01:09.633] | BETELGEUSE: Whatever it takes to make 'em go crazy |
| [01:13.710] | Raising the stakes by punching a baby |
| [01:16.817] | Scare 'em awake till they break |
| [01:18.653] | They'll be quaking in fright |
| [01:23.099] | 'Cause you've got some evil deep down inside you |
| [01:26.742] | Put all the farmer's markets behind you |
| [01:30.139] | You've gotta work |
| [01:31.189] | Gotta haunt till it hurts |
| [01:32.757] | Through the night |
| [01:34.840] | And give those guys the fright of their lives |
| [01:39.545] | Yeah yeah! |
| [01:43.930] | Let's start with things that you hate |
| [01:45.499] | ADAM: Well, hate's a very strong word |
| [01:47.060] | BARBARA: Perhaps when people are late |
| [01:48.563] | ADAM: Or getting pooped on by birds? |
| [01:50.392] | BETELGEUSE: No, what fills you with rage? |
| [01:51.964] | BARBARA: Being mean to a pet |
| [01:53.798] | ADAM: Chefs who use too much sage when they make beurre noisette |
| [01:57.184] | BARBARA: Over-glutinous food (BETELGEUSE: Right. ) |
| [01:59.033] | ADAM: Or when kids call me "dude" (BETELGEUSE: Sure. ) |
| [02:00.561] | BARBARA: Oh, I find that so rude! |
| [02:02.668] | BETELGEUSE: Well, there's lots there to use |
| [02:03.688] | Take a deep breath |
| [02:04.717] | And give me your best primal scream |
| [02:07.065] | BARBARA: Haaah! |
| [02:08.631] | ADAM, spoken: Barbara, that was brilliant! |
| [02:09.672] | BARBARA, spoken: Really? |
| [02:10.187] | BETELGEUSE: Try it again |
| [02:11.216] | Maybe this time pretend like you mean it |
| [02:13.853] | BARBARA: Aaauuhh! |
| [02:15.422] | ADAM, spoken: That was even better! (BARBARA: Thanks!) |
| [02:16.693] | BETELGEUSE: I want freedom |
| [02:19.038] | But to get my freedom, I need them |
| [02:22.932] | To get a living person to say my name |
| [02:26.850] | ADAM & BARBARA: Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse? |
| [02:29.201] | BETELGEUSE: I know that beggars can't be choosers |
| [02:32.327] | But do they have to be such losers? |
| [02:35.731] | Both of them are deathly dull and lame |
| [02:40.188] | ADAM & BARBARA & CHOIR: Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse |
| [02:43.331] | BETELGEUSE: Why God-slash-Satan, did you send these bed wetters? |
| [02:46.753] | Even, like, a tax attorney would've been better |
| [02:50.153] | Somebody with gravitas, somebody to fear who— |
| [02:52.938] | ADAM: Excuse me, Mr. Betelgeuse |
| [02:54.742] | We can kind of hear you |
| [02:56.565] | BETELGEUSE, spoken: Yeah? |
| [02:57.524] | Well that was a soliloquy, so you're the one who's being rude. |
| [03:01.203] | (sung)Whatever it takes to make 'em go crazy |
| [03:05.407] | BARBARA: Turn all the lights on |
| [03:06.700] | ADAM: Dress like a baby |
| [03:08.783] | BETELGEUSE, spoken: Adam, I don't even...no. |
| [03:10.340] | (sung)Get your heads in the game |
| [03:13.985] | ADAM & BARBARA: Let's hide their phones! |
| [03:15.024] | BETELGEUSE (ADAM & BARBARA): Screw their phones! |
| [03:15.992] | Ugh, these dopes are both hopeless |
| [03:18.598] | How will I ever survive? |
| [03:25.113] | Unless they get the fright of their lives |
| [03:27.474] | (Yes yes, we're feelin' it, they're gonna feel it, we're killin' it! ) |
| [03:32.171] | They gotta get the fright of their lives |
| [03:36.009] | (We're scary, very very scary!) |
| [03:38.618] | They'll never get the fright of their lives |
| [03:40.969] | (Yeah!) |
| [03:41.746] | Ugh |
| [00:04.351] | BETELGEUSE: Okay |
